Shirl Henke gives a fantastic read!

Shirl Henke is an incredible writer who knows how to create a perfect blend of history, sensuality, and character. I became totally involved in the world she created and was sorry when the book ended. I just love the whole idea of love lessons, and she really made the most of it. Very, very talented author. I'm going to put her on my "must read" list.

A sizzling, sexy, summer read!

Shirl Henke delivers yet another gorgeous love story! Love Lessons at Midnight is an exquisitely crafted tale of mystery, history, and passion that will leave you wanting more. The characters--whether the honorable but psychologically torn Rob, Earl of Barrington, or the seductively enigmatic Lady Fantasia, madam of London's "House of Dreams" bordello, or Gabrielle, a compassionate French courtesan, or Amber Leighigh, the deeply wounded marchioness--absolutely enchant. With clever, captivating dialogue, these characters share the pages with plot lines so surprisingly connected and masterfully interwoven that their culmination will leave you breathless. With deeply sensual description, meticulously researched detail, and sparkling style, Shirl Henke offers up a fantastic and incredibly sexy summer read (although this reader would enjoy it just as much in winter, spring, and fall.) How refreshing to find such a new--truly new--take on the Regency era romance. Absolutely splendid.
