The Prince of Midnight by Laura Kinsale
4.0
Between a 4-4.5.
This was surprisingly not as problematic as most historical romances go. This is about S.T. (yes he goes by his initials, and no I won't tell you his name because it's so much more gratifying to read it in the book) and Leigh. Leigh is bent on revenge for her family and tracks down the famous highwayman the Prince of Midnight to train her and help her avenge her family. But she finds him not as he once was, half-deaf and suffering from vertigo he's not like the masked hero he once was. But he joins her on her quest, and finds love a long the way.
The writing style of this was really unique. S.T. was an interesting character, as was Leigh. Her PTSD of losing her whole family was portrayed really well. I wish I had seen more moments of them falling in love. It focuses a lot on the plot of her revenge and the romance seems to be side plot for half the book. But the last scene of them coming together was lovely.
I would definitely be interested in reading more of Laura Kinsale.
