Love a Lady at Midnight by Charlie Lane

5.0

Such pure delightful anguish! Gwendolyn’s story is fraught with sadness, truly beautiful bitter sorrow… as we know there will of course be a rainbow after her storm. The analogy of her being the moon to Jackson’s sun is fitting as she shrouds herself in darkness to keep her past at bay. Living with such fears overhead, she cannot help but push people away thinking to protect them. The Cavendish family is not like most though. They are pure goodness and know the power of love and support, something Gwendolyn has not experienced in her life. The relationship between Gwen and Lord Eadon is enough to break your heart in the best ways, he truly is the father she should have had. The mystery that surrounds her keeps you glued to the page, much like Jackson, trying to guess what secrets hold her. I love the symbolism throughout this story, from the walls of thorns she erects to keep people out to the dragon hoard her emotions. It truly brings Gwendolyn’s character to life. A wonderful story of found family come to life. Charlie Lane writes such beautifully artistic words, painting a vivid picture of a story in your mind.
