Midnight Bride
SHE'D ENSLAVE HIM WITH HER PASSION
With her youth, beauty, and sizable dowry, Charleston-bred Kellie McBride had her share of ardent suitors eager to wed and bed her, but the headstrong miss was bewitched by the daring exploits of The Falcon--the dashing highwayman who risked his life for the American colonies and always managed to elude capture. Twice now, The Falcon had saved her life at the hands of the despised Redcoats, then set her blood wildly aflame with his scorching kisses--only to vanish again with the moonlight. The next time the raven-haired adventurer appeared at her side, Kellie vowed to unmask her mysterious midnight paramour... and show him she was ready for more than a caress!
HE'D SET HER FREE WITH LOVE
No one knew of the dangerous double life The Falcon led--or of his secret identity as a British lord with a vengeful score to settle with the Crown. And he planned to keep it that way. Let the willful Kellie try to expose him if she dared; she'd never uncover his deception! Meanwhile, he'd woo her by day as the foppish Lord Blakely Savage ...and ravage her by night as the conquering Falcon! But the first taste of those luscious lips, the first touch of that silken skin soon had him suffering a frenzy of desire only she could quench. And though The Falcon had once vowed to soar forever free, now he burned to make Kellie his own wild Colonial MIDNIGHT BRIDE

This was one of the earliest, historical romances that I've ever read. It is a staple to my collection and since that first, spellbinding read, I've read it two more times and will probably do so again! It has a rather, Scarlet Pimpernel sort of vibe to it that I enjoyed, in that the hero of the novel sported a double identity -- one as the foppish, British lord, and then as The Falcon, a rebel who helps out the colonists during the Revolutionary time period. As a fan of secret identities, this one has been my favorite find to date.

It was a bit dull and a little lackluster for me. The American Revolution is my least favorite period for romance writers to write about.
I did not like the heroine. She was rather insipid and selfish. It's all a game to her; she's more worried about the excitement that being a patriot spy entails and doesn't realize this means war. The hero also fell flat for me but at least he had a strong reason to fight against the British crown then just for fun. Their little love affair was such a bore.
And there was a stereotypical maid at the beginning of the book; the author made sure to gloss over slavery and didn't bring it up but it was implied.

Light, quick, enjoyable read. Not too much on plot or characters, but not boring. SLIGHTLY annoying heroine, satisfying story.
