[The Sinful Gentlemen 02] • Midnight Without a Moon

Trenton Wyatt usually disdains gossip, but when it involves the younger sister of one of his best friends, he is forced to interfere before disaster strikes. Rescuing her from suspicious revenue officers by pretending she is his mistress brings both scandal and the wrath of her family down on his head, and before he knows what's happening, he is forced to wed the very beautiful, very reckless Jessica. Finally having the attention of the man of her dreams isn't exactly the fantasy Jessica Fairman imagined. For one thing, her arrogant new husband is both controlling and difficult to know...except, of course, sexually. In that way, the infamous rake performs predictably with exquisite skill and tireless passion, filling her nights--and days--with unbelievable pleasure. An unexpected union binds an aristocratic rogue and a determined young woman together in the dangerous darkness of midnight without a moon...

**5 Stars/Hot: **"While I’m not usually drawn to historical romances, I couldn’t help but become helplessly drawn to *Midnight Without a Moon*. While this is the second in the Sinful Gentlemen Collection series, it is not connected to the previous story and is a stand-alone book. What made this book so invigorating is the intelligent and strong-willed Jessica. She is clever with an intelligent mind and a strong sense of self-worth. Both endearing and believable, she exudes a personality that shines with her glib comments and reasonable choices. Likewise, I greatly enjoyed Trenton. His father was a ruthless rogue and his talents with the ladies became Trenton’s talents as well. This leaves a slight undercurrent of coldness to Trenton’s personality as he is such a rogue that he doesn’t believe love is a possibility. This uncertainty makes you wondering if, or when, he’s going to slip up and become the cheater his father was. Trenton’s desire to fight the possibility of love drew me to him, along with his gentle yet firm ability to leave Jessica gasping with pleasure. These sex scenes are delicious, being both carnally passionate and delightfully descriptive. The plot has several slight twists, with enough action to keep me engaged by the storyline. There never was a dull moment and I found myself re-reading chapters because of how intense they were. Overall, I greatly enjoyed *Midnight Without a Moon *and will be placing Emma Wildes on my must-read list of authors." **—Francesca, *Just Erotic Romance Reviews***

**4.5 Kisses: **"I thoroughly enjoyed *Midnight Without a Moon *and believe that you will too. Trenton’s honesty not only made him endearing but also earnest and trustworthy. The manner in which both Trenton and Jessica came to each other’s defenses so soon after their marriage was heartwarming. The historical accuracy of Emma Wildes’ work always adds to its allure. Jessica has just enough sass to make this tale entertaining while Trenton is all sexy hot male! The beautiful and romantic writing style that Ms. Wilde’s employs makes *Midnight Without a Moon *a charming page-turner." **—Kerin, *TwoLipsReviews***
