Midnight Eyes
During the turbulent, decadent reign of William II, a royal mercenary finds himself caught in the throes of an unexpected passion--and played as a pawn in a treacherous game. . .
The bastard son of a Norman nobleman, Robert Beaumont has blossomed into one of England's fiercest killers--and has found himself well paid for his talents. But now the time has come for him to set aside his sword. The king has agreed to reward him for his last service with an estate. . .on one Robert must marry the sitting tenant--the infamous Lady Deformed.
For years, Imogen Colebrook has lived in the ramshackle Saxon keep, the virtual prisoner of her cruel, sadistic brother, the man responsible for her deformity--and for wedding her to a dangerous man. Yet, on Robert's arrival, Imogen nearly brings the hardened warrior to his knees. For she is a vision of unparalleled beauty--living in a world without sight. Drawn to her courageous spirit, Robert gently draws Imogen out of her tortured past. But with her brother always lurking in the shadows, Imogen's newfound sanctuary in Robert's arms is in danger of being destroyed--unless her salvaged heart can find a way out of the darkness. . .

This was a surprisingly gritty romance with the heroine Imogen (called Lady Deformed) being held captive by her brother who seemed to have some very unbrotherly feelings towards her. He was really cruel and tormented her. That part was hard to read for me. I just don't get how someone can do things like that.
I really loved the hero and the heroine, and I was glad that although the hero Robert was considered a really bad guy, he was a gentle, tender husband to this very tormented heroine. I like that although he was looked down upon for being a lowly knight with little to his name, he was a much better person than Imogen's brother who had land and power. He was a good guy despite his bad reputation.
This was a new author for me, and I went into this book with no expectations, and was rewarded with a very good medieval romantic read that had enough dark moments to make the beautiful love story all the more touching. Yes there is a very unrealistic thing at the end, but it didn't bother me because I read romance to see good win out over evil and for the Happy Ever After, and I think this story wrapped up well despite the unrealistic elements. I will definitely be reading more by this author.

Not my favorite medieval romance, again Keeper of the Dream still holds the top spot. The MMC in this can step on me though, he’s literally the best!
The plot and the villain were very predictable, so it made for an enjoyable, but ok read.

Wow. I know Zebra is an off-brand of sorts in the world of romance but this was dreadful in a fan fiction way.
The concept is awesome, I liked the sound if it so much that I rushed to buy. Everything about the story, the H/h, the side characters, the jealousy, the evil brother, the abduction, etc....all the great classic bodice ripper tropes but with a nuance of difference that really sparked my interest. But none of these were pulled off. Nobody and nothing really makes sense because there's no real explanation, no development, no Oomph!
I would have given the story at least 2 stars but the dialogue was terrible, if you're going to base story in the 12th century and focus on King William and knights and courts and blah blah then at least TRY to make the dialogue sound appropriate! Characters essentially used modern American English (examples: "pretty much" "the big bad world" and "no, you think?") but with a few "my sir knight" and "m'lord" but mostly everyone called each other by their first names...you know, medieval aristocrats, they're chill peeps.
That's all I can say, man.

This book lost a 5-star rating simply because the middle 150-pages or so were so drawn out with unnecessary angst and ridiculous inner turmoil that went on for so long, I almost couldn't stand it. The rest of the book - fabulous! Imogen is a young, 10th century aristocrat exiled by her sadist brother to a broken down keep in the middle of nowhere. She is blind, having been injured by her brother many years ago, and as part of his evil game, her brother arranges for her to marry a mercenary known as the king's butcher. Robert, however, turns out to be anything but a butcher to Imogen and helps her escape the darkness in which her brother left her.

Since there isn't a description for this:
Imogen was blind and tormented by her brother, Roger, who kept her in a secluded castle. She never left her room.
Robert, a hired killer of the King's, was given her castle and land (on the condition of marriage).
Robert ends up being her protector and brings his men to the lands and they begin to rebuild the almost ruined castle and bring life back to the area.
I thought this was such a nice story. Robert was a good person and brings Imogen out of her solitude. Well written!

I wanted this to be really, really good, but it was just OK. I liked the concept a lot - blind, orphaned young woman (Imogen) is being tormented by nasty relative. Seemingly horrible husband (Robert) is found for her, but he turns out to be wonderful and helps her fight nasty relative and they live HEA. The trouble was, the execution just wasn't there. The beginning starts off well with our tortured heroine living in isolation while her brother (nasty relative-Roger) curries favor with the King. And the hero's arrival is great, he appears to be a blood-thirsty mercenary with no honor or morals and quickly shows himself to be patient, loving, and honorable. But then things go downhill. The brother starts sending nasty messages, the heroine gets (understandably) frightened and shuts down. Wonderful hero stands around doing nothing. Then he gets called back to court and imprisoned, so the action picks up with his 2nd-in-command taking care of the now realizes she's pregnant, still blind heroine. There are a few intrigue scenes at court, but like most of the book, not much actually happens. Finally nasty brother kidnaps heroine, hero goes after them and we have the big finish back at their keep.
There was so much thinking and worrying, but nothing happening. Not in the present, or in the past. We can guess what the brother was up to, but we never really see any of it. His plot was so slow-moving and convoluted that after awhile I just couldn't care too much. The hero didn't seem to have any strategy -military or otherwise. And I hated the "perfect" ending where heroine's sight is restored. Glad she didn't have a miscarriage after riding up and down the length of England, falling down stairs, etc but the restoration of sight was just too much. I thought the way Robert helped her navigate her blindness was very romantic and the need for her to be sighted just wasn't there.

More like 1.5 stars than 2. This is supposed to be set in Medieval times, yet the majority of the language is modern. The heroine, while I realize was blind, acted like a child. And of course ALL the men of her husband's garrison were totally in love with her. Puh-leeze.
GAG.
I only finished this because I wanted to see if it would truly be one big cliche....and it was.

It was almost a 3 star...before she miraculously got her eyesight back. Eye roll. Not how science works. Also, it was kind of annoying how everyone fell in love with her. Sheesh.

Ok, so this book was pretty interesting. I thought it was going to be early 1800s, like usual, but turns out it take place in the late 11th century or possibly early 12th century. There are Normans and Saxons and the whole 9 yards. It was a lot darker than another of the other light, fluffy historical romance novels I've read. The heroine, who is blind, has a VERY VERY DARK past. Her brother is evil and pretty much tortured her growing up. I loved the hero. He was fabulous.
The only bad part, really, was the very very very very end. What's up with people having completely unrealistic things happen at the end? Oh, I'll just tell you. The way she lost her sight was the her brother pushed her down a flight of stairs, and she hit her head. So at the end, she's like 5 months pregnant and has been riding HORSES around freaking England for a month (which you're not supposed to do for fear of a miscarriage)... she FALLS down the stairs, and not only is her baby completely fine, but she hits her head again, and POOF! Her vision is back! *rolls her eyes* It was too much for me.
Oh, and there were some male homosexual things going on. Like the king is supposedly very openly gay (as in everyone knows), and there's a kiss between him and his "partner" or whatever. Allusions to more, but nothing explicit. So if that sort of thing bothers you.... (It usually bothers me, but this one didn't, probably because it wasn't written very... passionately--it was more a stating-what-happened rather than a you're-supposed-to-get-into-this scene.) Just a warning though.

The story was good, I loved Robert. He was everything one would want in a hero. Imogen, however, took this story from a 5 star to a three star. I realized while reading this that I really don't like heroines who sit around feeling sorry for themselves or give up rather than fight. Imogen is the perfect example, she drove me crazy! Although she did end up fighting in the end, throughout most of the book no matter how good Robert was or how hard he tried to make her see he truly cared about her, she insisted on thinking the worst of him and giving up on herself.

What a great story. Blind chick is mentally tortured by her sadistic brother. He is also responsible for her blindness. He arranges her marriage to a knight known as the king's butcher. well, the knight turns out to be a great man who helps her live again. of course, the brother has spies in their castle. he plots to have the husband killed and ultimately he plots to finish her off too.

This is a great book. It is about a Blind girl and how she falls in love with her knight that takes over her castle. The King commands them to marry and she does. IT is sweet how he falls in love with her and finds out she is blind. Very unusual story but worth the read.

I bought MIDNIGHT EYES purely on impulse because it was pretty inexpensive in the Kindle Store and one of my hobbies is buying and reading half-forgotten romance novels that are 10+ years old because it's fun finding a book that nobody else has heard of and getting people as excited about it as I am, case in point: THIS BOOK. Oh my gosh, this book. It gave me all the sighs, all the feelings, all the nail-biteys. You know a book is good when you're reaching the high-point of the dramatic tension and can't stop click-click-clicking away.
Medieval romances are something that I love in theory but often find myself disliking in execution because the material either isn't handled well or the characters are flat and dimensionless. Neither is the case in this book. The heroine, Imogen, is known throughout the land as "Lady Deformed" after a beating from her abusive brother left her blinded. When he marries her to a hardened warrior of the king's, it seems like another cruel joke: putting her at the mercy of a man who will use her ill. But Robert is anything but cruel. He has an old man named Matthew as his squire and treats all of his men well, and honor means everything to him, so before even laying eyes on her, he's already putting an end to the cruel nicknames, saying that an insult to her is an insult to him.
And then he sees her and... well, obviously she's pretty because of course.
But a lifetime of abuse has left its toll on Imogen and being unable to see and abandoned in a place filled with shadows and bad memories has left her feeling angry and defensive. I could see some reviewers annoyed by the repeated mentions of Imogen's beauty but she never really felt like a Mary Sue to me because she had so much damage and it soon became pretty clear that Robert was interested in her in a way that went beyond the surface. So MIDNIGHT EYES ends up being a story of a slow-burn love between a man who is afraid of being vulnerable and a woman who is afraid of being ill-used and the best part of this book is their beautiful love story of intimacy and trust, replete with incredibly well-written sex scenes that add to, rather than detract from, their bond.
YES.
I think the plot line with Imogen's brother is going to be triggering for some but for the most part, much of it is alluded to rather than explicitly written out. Most of the focus is on the main couple and I loved Robert, who is one of the best representations of the caring alpha hero that I've encountered in the wild in a while. My only complaints were that the rescue mission in the last quarter lasted way too long and having the hero named Robert and the brother named Roger was a bit confusing. If I were the editor, I would have advised against having two main characters being named so similarly.
Honestly, this is just such a great book and one of the better medieval romances I've ever read. I wish the companion book about Gareth wasn't out of print because after reading this one, I'm desperate to know his story, too. Sigh.
4.5 stars

While I know I’m unlikely to find a medieval romance that’s anywhere near as good as For My Lady’s Heart, I nonetheless continue to chase that high. This was recommended via Twitter and while I knew some elements of the plot were unlikely to age well, the way they talked about the romance itself made me think it was still worth trying. Welp. This turned out to be more problematic than I initially reckoned. This is what sometimes happens when you take a random Twitter rec.
Imogen is referred to as “Lady Deformed” because she’s blind. I could not figure out if this was one more way her abusive brother was playing mindgames or if people really viewed blindness as a “deformity” back then. It’s ableist either way. There was much about the depiction of her disability that made little sense. She’s confined herself to her room and has not really learned how to get around on her own or even eat without making a mess. Robert changes some of this, whether because he forces her to stop referring to herself in ableist terms or because she’s out to spite him. It’s pretty terrible representation and that’s well before I saw Big yikes all around.
But I was pretty sure the disability rep wouldn’t be great. What I did not see coming was the Evil Queer trope in the form of Imogen’s lifelong tormenter, her brother Roger who is the King’s lover. Roger continues to emotionally abuse Imogen from afar and the plot is now switching away from the love story and toward his endgame. Frankly, I’m not interested in reading more along those lines. Robert and Imogen may have a romance for the ages for all I know but it’s too much of a mess to wade through any further.
Characters: Imogen is a blind white woman. Robert is a white mercenary and warrior. This is set in England during William II’s reign.
Content notes: agoraphobia, anxiety, nightmare, past attempted murder by FMC’s brother which resulted in blindness, physically and emotionally abusive brother, Evil Queer trope (brother Roger is the King’s lover), imprisonment of FMC by brother, false imprisonment of MMC, physical assault, ableism, internalized ableism, past death of parents (riding accident/), vomit, on page sex, alcohol, inebriation (secondary character), virginity and hymen misinformation, anti-fat bias, “manhood” as euphemism, gender essentialism, ableist language

Awful in all the right ways lol. If you're looking for historical accuracy and realistic sex scenes this is not the book for you. If you want something to read while you eat popcorn...yes. haha. Was I really concerned for both main characters' mental health during the dungeon sex scene? Also yes. And my first thoughts were def that she was going to catch lice, and they were going to get caught having very cringe dirty floor sex. The only really annoying parts for me were Lady Deformed's journal-esque entries. I just sped over them and kept moving. Would reccomend overall

A VERY SWEET AND ALMOST INSTA-LOVEY ROMANCE. I expected more, but then I got bored because everything was a bit too smooth sailing. Apart from the obvious villain, I wouldn't have minded watching this as a film, but as a book where the drama happens in one's mind, I would have preferred a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat.

I didn't like that it literally took FOREVER! for the heroine to finally love the hero. Lame. He loved her instantly and it wasn't until way towards the end that she is all "oh wow I do love him" Pointless angst in my opinion.

Robert and Imogen are perfect for each other. A match perfectly made. I really loved their love scene in the castle dungeon. wonderful,and the ending too is great.

I loved this book. I can't wait for this author to write another one. I hope that it is a story for Gareth. He really desires to have his own story. I can't believe how much I cried through out his book, but I would read it all over again. The interaction between Robert and Lady Imogen was wonderful. I have not read a story with a blind heroine before. It made for a very interesting element.
November 14, 2013
The story had a lot of potential, but wasn't developed, sadly.
The book became boring at times, at others, annoying, specially when it came to the heroine, Imogen.
Would have liked to see some motivations fully explained, like those behind Roger's perversions and his deeds. The end needed more excitement. All in all, it fell short.

I liked the story, but did not like the main female character. She was a very annoying person and I felt it distracted from the story as I found I almost kept wanting to stop readng the book, she was that much of an annoying hinderance. Thumbs up for the story, a big thumbs down to Imogen
September 16, 2015
I liked this book a lot but I'll give only 4 stars because there was a part in this book were I wanted to smack the heroine right im the face .... with said book. Based on her past with her brother how could she believe him again?? Ugghh made me angry.

Not enough character development for my liking.
