Fabulous retelling of Cinderella with all the wit and charm one would expect from Eloisa James. I loved the little tweaks she gave to the traditional fairy tale elements--an earthy godmother, a not so ugly stepsister, and a not-quite-glass slipper. And of course there was more to the relationship between Kate and her handsome prince than just one evening together at the ball. From their prickly first meeting to their growing attraction to one another, their chemistry zings off the page. James do

This was an absolute delight to read. We have you down-trodden beautiful maiden, a gorgeous dark prince, an evil step-mother and a sweet step-sister. Oh yes and a fairy god-mother named Henry....all the makings for a sweet fairy tale and of course this was...with the required happy ending. Kate's step-mother insists that she go to a ball in her step-sister's place due to the actions of a dog. She goes to the ball and of course meets the handsome prince.

LOVED this one. Simply loved it.
I'm a sucker for a good Cinderella story, especially one that doesn't try to be too close to the original.
Sweet, funny, sexy, and full of emotion, this one is highly recommended for fans of fairy tales reimagined.

Gostei muito mais deste do que o outro da mesma autora- Paixão numa noite de Inverno.
A Kiss at Midnight is a fantastic Cinderella tale with a feminist twist, a story that manages to be witty, poignant, and wise, and a hero and heroine who won my heart and my admiration. Another keeper by Eloisa James, one of my favorite authors.
A bit of a slow start to this book, imo, but I enjoyed the second half & the ending.
The story was, in some ways, not quite what I was expecting which is why I gave it just 3 stars.

I read the author's memoir and really liked it, this not as much, but it was a good period romance. As a librarian, I was hoping given her memoir that I might have found a little less predictable romance to recommend but never the less I did enjoy it.

Cute spin on Cinderella
If I could give this book ten stars, I would. I really really would. You are brilliant, Eloisa James.
this was a sweet fairy tale, but part of me wishes that Toloose got his own book. And Wick, too.
