MINI REVIEW:
Patricia Hagan's "Midnight Rose" is a decent love story featuring a strong-willed heroine, Erin, with an evil slaver for a step-father and a mother who hides a secret that could destroy them; mom is biracial (half-black, half-white). That fact must be hidden, for this would have socially ruined the heroine and her family. Hero Ryan pursues Erin with a passionate fervor to be his mistress since he's already got a respectable woman lined up for marriage. Through Erin's mother's machinations, they end up getting married, and now the drama is just beginning. There are wicked relatives on both sides making life difficult. When the hero finds out the heroine's secret, he does his best to protect her from the bad guys. Good plotting, but a bit abrupt at the end and left me wanting more.
