Meet the Earl at Midnight
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Once upon a time, in a glittering world of balls and backroom gossip, there was a mysterious nobleman who never dared show his face.
Whispers call him the Enigma Earl. The Lord Phantom. Beastly to the core. He is not the kind of man a young lady wanted to be alone together at midnight, and Lydia Montgomery is horrified to be dragged from bed and packed off to live with this strange Lord Greenwich to save her mother from penury.
It's going to take a Beast to tame this Beauty.
While Lydia has received all of the training a lady should endure, she's decidedly un-ladylike. She despises her corset and isn't interested in marriage. But if she wants a chance at happiness, she'll have to set aside her fear of Lord Greenwich and discover the man hiding behind the mystery...and give in to the wicked attraction that that burns bright between this beauty and her earl.

March 10, 2014
Conkle’s first Georgian romance is an awkward homage to the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast. Miss Lydia Montgomery is taken to a midnight meeting by her stepfather, where she is traded to the mysterious Lord Sanford, Earl of Greenwich, in exchange for the earl relieving her stepfather’s debts. Sanford, outcast due to his facial scars and lurid reputation, feels he has no choice but to marry Lydia, “an honest, barely educated, commoner of some past disrepute,” if he’s going to beget an heir. Lydia, unafraid of Sanford’s appearance or reputation, agrees to the arrangement and becomes intrigued by Sanford’s mysteries, including his oddly familiar relationship with his gorgeous housekeeper and his research in his greenhouse of exotic plants. Though the novel is hauntingly atmospheric, the heroine’s irrepressible and naïve curiosity is rather grating. Sanford’s self-imposed deadline for marriage and conjugation feels artificial, as do the story’s attempts to bring the pair together.
