Customer Reviews

One you will read again & again!!!

This was not my first MB book, but it is my favorite. The characters were beautifully flawed, but instead of giving up they found their strength in themselves and thus were able to be strong for each other & their shattered families. I re-read this book about once a year, if not more. This love story is enduring and everlasting.

Fighting For A Chance

Morgan Slade has led a very sad and hard life. He was created from love but then became hated by his mother who felt she was abandoned by Morgan's father. Because of his mother disdain and loneliness of not having a mother's love, Morgan spends his life being a drunk. Carolyn "Carrie" Chandler is a spoiled rich girl fleeing an unwanted marriage. Carrie saves Morgan life and offers him money to help her get to her brother. Through trials and an unexpected attraction, love blossoms between them. This is an awesome read! It has a lot of twists and turns and revelations from both sides of Morgan and Carrie families that allows you a glimpse of whom Morgan and Carrie really are as people. Madeline Baker did a wonderful job showing Morgan going through withdrawl as he tries to rebuild his life. I truly felt for Morgan. He showed to be a man trying to change his life in spite of the circumstances of his birth. And Carrie showed that no matter what kind of life you led, if you don't have love... then you really have nothing. It's a keeper and I've read it many times!

My first Madeline Baker book but not the last!!

this was my first MB book book but definatly not the last. I loved Morgan even though he was a drunken Half-Breed and Carolyn, though very spoiled, was a wonderful character.

She takes him to his home and helps him recover so they he will take her to he brother across the country and away from the marriage her father has set up. Along the way Morgan finds his dignity and most importantly he finds he is falling in love with "Carrie". They are captured by Indians and Morgan is given a chance to get away from the bottle and Make him self worthy of a woman's love. Carrie learns the there is more to life then parties and silk dresses as she falls in love with Morgan. She must convince him they they belong together before their families and unforseen dangers tear them apart. A truly inspiring book!!!!

To cry for!

Midnight Fire was a fantastic book. Maybe it lacked a little more details but I must say it captivated me. It was warm and wise, with the character of Morgan who one could pity, and Carolyn who changed all that for him. Their rising love was indeed so "beautiful" and when the end of the book came, it was something. You must not skip this book! You won't be sorry and I hope that you could feel the warmth and love those two characters found. Once they found the truth of their love, nothing could ever tear them apart, not even the ache of Morgan's heart where once he thought life so worthless, to die for. Madeline created a family that no one could ever thought it to become one whole, but eventually it did, and no one was sorry. So you won't be, too!

INDIAN ROMANCE AT ITS BEST

Morgan is a bitter drunkard, a half - breed who feels that he has no reason left to live. That is, until he meets Carolyn, a runaway heiress, escaping from an arranged marriage. Desire between the two is strong and love naturally follows. Madeline Baker is the queen of historical romances and this is definately another of her books that you will not be able to put down.
