About This Audiobook
A Lady by Midnight is the third Spindle Cove novel, bringing together music teacher Kate Taylor and the militia's stone-faced Corporal Thorne, who steps forward as her fake fiancé when mysterious visitors begin searching for her. The arrangement is meant to be temporary, but Thorne has been quietly watching over Kate for years, and what both take to be a sensible arrangement becomes increasingly difficult to contain.
Carolyn Morris narrates with warmth and wit that suit Tessa Dare's lighter touch in the Spindle Cove series. She gives Kate a practical brightness that makes the vulnerability underneath more affecting, and Thorne's controlled exterior is rendered with enough depth to make his slow-breaking persuasive. The historical romance's Regency setting is evoked with light but confident detail.
