Elizabeth Hoyt is one of my favorite romance authors...
...but really though? That uptight, self-serving a@ssh@t who tried to marry off his own sister to an (abusive) man she didn't love, for his selfish ambitious purposes, is getting a book?
I do have some reluctant faith, but his redemption better be believable.

Hah. I knew it would be Wakefield. How are people surprised that he gets his own book? Are you newly arrived in Romancelandia? We don't leave hot young Dukes lying around unused. That is just wasteful.
I mean, he's the goddamn Batman, seriously did you get a load of his Batcave in Hero's book? And he witnessed his parents being murdered outside a theatre in St Giles? He even briefly flipped me on my Winter as Ghost prediction and is clearly one of the alt-Ghosts, too much Winter recognition to th...more

I'm not sure if there is an update on "Duke of Midnight" but here's what I've found out so far. Artemis Greaves will be the heroine in the book and you can read an excerpt from the next Maiden Lane Series "Lord of Darkness." Go to the Maiden Lane section, click on characters then click on "Thief of Shadows." Scroll down to Artemis Greaves character and there will be a brand new excerpt from "Lord of Darkness." I kinda feel sorry for Maximus now after reading the excerpt.

MAXIMUS!!!!
la, la, la, la, LAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my! I don't know why I'm so excited when there isn't even a proper official review on Goodreads yet, but maybe it's because I always secretly imagined him as a hero. So rigidly in control, I always thought he suppressed all emotions.. It'll be a wonder to see him lose control!! :D
Can't. Bloody. WAIT. Ah!

*squee* not even done with book 5 Lord of Darkness but had to jump on here and see who the couple was for book 6. SOOO excited it's the Duke and Artemis!!
I was really hoping for a book for Lady Phoebe, but I guess we'll have to wait. Let's hope that's in the works, too!

“Holding her gaze, he sheathed his short sword and pulled the gauntlet off his left hand with his teeth. He held out his bare hand to her.
She glanced at the proffered hand before laying her palm in his. Hot strength gripped her tightly as he pulled her upright before him, so close she would’ve had to move only inches to brush her lips across his throat. She watched the pulse of his blood beat there, strong and sure, before she lifted her gaze. His head was cocked almost as if he were examining her—searching for something in her face.
She drew in a breath, parting her lips to ask a question.”
