    DANCING AT MIDNIGHT - 2nd in the Blydon Family Series
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2017*

DANCING AT MIDNIGHT is book 2 in the "Blydon" series and was a re-read for me. If you've never read a Julia Quinn novel I would highly recommend this series which was absolutely wonderful! Belle is smart and free spirited, while John is a wounded (both physically and mentally) former soldier. Because of John's past this story had some very serious elements to it, but as usual Ms. Quinn's humor and charm shine through and keep the story from becoming depressing. The love between this couple took my breath away at times, it was just so moving and lovely. In the end I thought it was a beautifully written story with wonderful characters and an engaging plot. A true pleasure to read and one I'll definitely enjoy again and again =)Below is a list of the entire "Blydon" series and reading order for those who don't already know:Book 1 - SPLENDID (Emma Dunster & Alexander Ridgely aka The Duke of Ashbourne)Book 2 - DANCING AT MIDNIGHT (Arabella "Belle" Blydon & Lord John Blackwood) Belle is Emma's cousinBook 3 - MINX (Henrietta "Henry" Barrett & William Dunford) Dunford is Alex's best friendBook 3.5 - A TALE OF TWO SISTERS (a novella originally released in the "WHERE'S MY HERO?" anthology, featuring Ned Blydon) Emma's cousin and Belle's brother

    Plenty of humor but with a bit of angst as well
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016*

This is the 2nd book in the Blydon trilogy and features Belle Blydon. Alex and Emma from Splendid appear often throughout the book - Emma is pregnant with their first child.In fact, as the story opens, Belle is stating at Westonbirt while her parents are in Italy. Belle is just completing the Grand Shakespearean Quest in which she is reading all of the plays in alphabetical order. She is reading The Winter's Tale when she meets a handsome man with a limp; he introduces himself as John, Lord Blackwood; he has recently bought a country house very near Westonbirt.It turns out that Alex served with John during the war, which is where John acquired the limp; he was shot in the leg and refused to allow the surgeon to amputate.  Belle and John have an immediate attraction to each other, but John is very moody. He eventually tells her that he is haunted by guilt because one of his men raped a young Spanish girl, after John had promised her mother that he would protect her; the girl committed suicide three days after the rape.  The rape (and rapist) and John's guilt constitute the major conflicts in the book.Apparently, Splendid and Dancing at Midnight were both published in 1995, but JQ's writing is much more polished in Dancing. The dialogue is smoother and the awkwardness that was present in Splendid is much less in evidence.  Although Dancing is darker and more angsty, there is plenty of humor and wit. 3.75 stars, rounded up to 4.

    What's with the horrid reviews? I loved it after 2 minutes!
  

*by A***7 on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2010*

This book captured me from the very beginning. I love John Blackwood in the first half of the book. He is one of those characters that has a sort of dark past, he's full of remorse and regret. But Belle swoops in to rescue him.But now I have to be honest.. I was only really in love with the first half of this book, which I plan to read over and over. It was just perfect. Quinn gave her characters more depth than I thought she was capable of. I fell for John immediately (call me a sucker for the wounded hero type). But right in the middle of the book, after some 200 or so pages of originality, I couldn't help but get the feeling that I've read this book before, though I was pretty sure I'd never picked it up until then. So I guess Quinn just fell into the trap of writing a stereotypical romance novel's side story of some great trauma occurring. Like some guy from the hero's past coming back to try and kill him. It's just so been there, read that. In addition: I believe Belle and John just sort of lost their charm from the beginning of the book. I'm currently wadding through to get to the end of the novel.But I would recommend buying a one cent used copy from Amazon. It made my day :]
