storyline

Bridget had called St. Gabriel's monastery her home since her mysterious appearance years ago. Kept far from prying eyes amidst the gentle monks, the maiden was happy to care for her protectors. But after reading fanciful tales of Arthur and Guinever, Bridget yearned for a handsome knight of her very own... On a quest to find his missing brother, Sir Ranulf Brand scoured the Norman countryside. Attacked by brigands and left for dead, he awoke in St. Gabriel's to visions of a golden-haired angel by candlelight. But the monks assures him 'twas nothing more than a phantom brought on by his injuries. Yet the petal-soft touch of her lips lingered on his mouth still....

A Very Romantic Tale

Maid of Midnight, the Sequel to Lord of Lyonsbridge and Lady of Lyonsbridge, offers great romantic escapism and an action packed plot. Set in Normandy immediately following the Crusades, Ana Seymour's latest is a satisfying romantic read.The English knight Sir Ranulf Brand is on a mission to locate his missing brother Edmund who mysteriously vanished three years past. The clues his younger sibling left behind are few and far between, but the one thing he knows for certain is that Edmund had been intent upon journeying to St. Gabriel's monastery in Normandy. Why Edmund has gone there in the first place, he doesn't know.Ranulf sets off for St. Gabriel in order to question the monks dwelling there about his brother's disappearance, but gets more than he bargained for in the process when he meets Bridget, a beautiful and mysterious woman with an equally mysterious past.Bridget has lived within St. Gabriel all of her life. Never once, in fact, has she stepped outside of the monastery's cloistered walls. Bridget has no last name nor any family save the monks that raised her, for the events surrounding her birth have been kept secret these twenty-two years. Once Bridget meets the handsome Ranulf her secluded world doesn't seem quite so appealing anymore and she finds herself not only wanting answers to her past but a life outside of the monastery as well...The latest installment to Ana Seymour's Lyonsbridge series is a strong one. It isn't necessary to have read the first two books in this line in order to enjoy this one. In fact, the protagonists from books one and two are only mentioned in passing, so it's probably more apropos to refer to Seymour's books as connected rather than as a series in the way we normally think of them. Whatever you want to call it, connected or a series, Maid of Midnight is a fun, romantic read. The next time you're in the mood for a sweet romance with just enough action to keep your attention, I'd pick up a copy of this one.sexual content = PG-13
