"Passing Through Midnight" is the story of Dorie and Gil.
What a beautiful and heartwarming romance!
This is the journey of our heroine, an ER doctor, who moves to a small farm in Kansas to recruperate from a life changing accident. Scarred and traumatized, she hides herself away. That is until her neighbors decided to coax her out of her shell. This involves the hero, and his two sons. She soon becomes entangled in their lives, finds true love, discovers her priorities and has her HEA.
I really enjoyed this book. Be it the maturity of the characters, their honesty, love and bond, and how kind they were- it was just wonderful to read so much positivity. There was no drama, and the dilemmas were very valid. I laughed when the younger son called all the animals "Emily", and cried when the hero realized what he might have to give up. Both had gone through deaths and failed marriages, she was older, but there was no prejudice. I am also glad that her infertility was not made an issue and not followed by a sudden miracle.
Great book!

I appreciated that the heroine was older and the hero was a bit younger and it wasn’t about them getting married having kids and living happily ever after.
I might read this again, just for the two kids, the younger one especially. He was adorable.

Meh. You know, when a romance novel sets up the major conflict as "Boy and Girl live in different cities, so this will never work out in the long run", and then the resolution is "I dunno, maybe she's going to quit her job or something?", I just want to punch the wall. LOVE DOES NOT ACTUALLY CONQUER ALL LOGISTICS AND CIRCUMSTANCES.
