Even though I saw it coming, I didn’t expect it to go that dark. Toward the end, the book took a dark turn.


I also enjoyed the mystery surrounding Theo and why he’d turned mute. Her sarcastic sense of humor had me laughing more than once. I really enjoyed the humor and wit of the heroine, Megan. This is a hard book to review without spoilers. It seems like Theo knows her, but how can that be possible when they’ve never met?

With the exception of the Epilogue, the story is told in first person from the heroine’s point-of-view.Īfter the death of her husband, Megan moves to a small Oregon coastal town to finally realize their dream of restoring an old bed-and-breakfast. Her paranormal series wasn’t as successful for me, but I thought I’d enjoy Midnight Valentine since 1) It’s a contemporary and 2) It has stellar reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Geissinger, so I figured I’d try some of her other works. I read and really enjoyed Burn for You by J.T.
