Midsummer Midnight: Book I
MADNESS! That time of Midsummer-Midnight when all is revelry and debauchery in Macedonia. That unbelievable moment when Damon Demetrios kidnaps Helena Hamilton, a journalist whose by-line draws as much interest as her subjects. He wants her to cover the Macedonian struggle for freedom. She wants him for all the wrong reasons ~ the worst being the freedom fighter, irrevocably wedded to his country, has the ability to make her forget the independent principles she believes in. Then there is the knowledge she won’t ever be able to forget him, that long after she escapes he’ll haunt her like a madness.

About the author
Parris Afton Bonds
82 books52 followersI am dancing on sunshine that you are visiting my little part of Parris's paradise here on Goodreads.
I write for the reckless at heart Not surprisingly, I identify with my novels' characters, both the protagonists AND antagonists. I suffer with their angsts and bewilderments and rejoice in their joys and triumphs.
And I believe that if we heroically hold fast to our own vision for ourselves in our journey’s confrontations and challenges, Life WILL surely manifest our dreams and goals and visions, as it does for my characters in my novels.

Super good read!
This is the first contemporary romance novel I've read by Bonds, and jt is really very good. I have been a fan if her historical romance novels for a while now and she does just as good a job in this genre.
Bonds has a writing style that makes you unable to put the book down. There are no dry or dead spots to much through...keeps your attention throughout. The action sequences are good, characters well described and developed, plot original and interesting.
This book takes us on a political journey of suppression of a country's population to the inevitable revolution. In its midst romance ignites.
I highly recommend this book, and now plan to b purchase the second book of this riveting series.
