It was OK

It took me quite some time to finish this book. I normally get through one in a couple days but not this one. Charles Boynton has loved Marguerite all of his life. Because of his unrequited love he has turned to writing poetry with a pseudonym of B. C. Rose. He poses as the Midnight Bandit to attract his love by writing love poems to her. Her husband has died and she is labeled the Poison Widow incorrectly. It is quite a tale with the two of them keeping secrets from each other but love finally prevails. There are some dangerous twists and turns throughout the book to keep it interesting though. It was a good enough book but not one to keep me up late reading. I will be reading A Lover's Kiss next as it is the next one in the trilogy. The Midnight Bandit appears in this next book.

A charming tale of a passionate lover and his prey.

Charles Boynton has loved Marguerite Lennox for years, and she has not given him a bit of encouragement. His unrequited passion has driven him to write poetry that has been received avidly by the ladies of the community. Marguerite has endured a repressive, loveless marriage for several years, and even her husband's death does not free her. People suspect that she did away with her husband herself, thus gaining her the nickname of the Poison Widow. The local women are titillated by the Midnight Bandit, a man who recites poetry as he steals. To win Marguerite over, Charles writes to her as the Midnight Bandit. But her dark past is connected with Montagu Renny who is blackmailing her. She feels that she must hide her dark past at all costs.
