Review

2018 American Fiction Awards Winner in Romance Historical
Best Book Award Finalist, Romance Category
Chanticleer Book Reviews Chatelaine Awards Finalist, Romantic Fiction
 "Dramatic family politics, secret trysts, and dangerous ghosts from the past all call to mind classic English countryside dramas, but Shute has a knack for creating atmosphere through evocative details."
-BookLife

"Intrigue, mystery, romance! Set in the 1830's England and France, Midnight Crossing, has everything to keep readers glued to the page. Shute's exciting sequel continues to follow Alix Saint-Descoteaux as she tries to decide between her forgotten, ancestral home in France and the new life she has made for herself at Sterling Stables in England. Her growing attraction to her sister's husband, Nicolas Griffon, doesn't help matters, however, nor does a disturbing person from her past who stalks her. Shute delivers a thrilling ride in this unputdownable book that will have your heart racing before the end!"
-Michelle Cox, author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series

"A rich tapestry of scenic delight, intrigue, and misdirection in the Regency and Early Victorian era. A riveting novel, rich with unique characters that are not all who they seem to be. Some are better than their initial actions would suggest; some are worse. However, through it all, the fabulous and highly intelligent horse Midnight remains the center of this complex weaving of truths, lies, and attempted thefts."
-Liza O'Connor, author of The Adventures of Xavier & Vic series and A Long Road to Love series

"Secrets lurk around every corner in this second book in Shute's (After Midnight, 2014) ongoing historical-fiction series...A rollicking read. Alix is a winning heroine, and Shute expertly leaves each character positioned for new experiences in the planned third volume."

-Kirkus Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Midnight Crossing is an intriguing historical fiction set in the early Victorian era.

Midnight Crossing is an intriguing historical fiction set in the early Victorian era. The story perfectly compliments Diane Shute's previous novel, After Midnight. I truly enjoyed the interplay of mystery, adventure, and romantic tension throughout the book. The growing attraction between Nicholas Griffon and Alix Saint-Descoteaux, is wonderfully heightened by their misadventures and mysterious circumstances. Shute's descriptive prose creates an atmospheric backdrop to an already well-developed plot. It was easy to envision the charming countryside of England and France in the early 19th century. I highly recommend this delightful read!

Great sequel to After Midnight, but now I'm impatiently awaiting the 3rd book! I love the characters. They're well developed, which is hard to find in a lot of novels. Diane also writes beautifully when describing the landscape. It always sucks me in.
