After Midnight by Teresa Medeiros, 3

Book description: The eldest and most sensible of the three Cabot siblings, Caroline is naturally concerned that her sister Vivienne has lately been keeping company with the infamous Adrian Kane, Lord Trevelyan, the enigmatic nobleman whom most of the ton firmly believe is...a vampire! Surely, it is nonsense. And yet...

The brooding gentleman inhabits a dark castle and is never seen in the daylight, embarking nightly on mysterious excursions to who knows where. And from the first moment Caroline enounters the handsome, hypnotically compelling viscount, she is shaken by a fevered desire that borders on the unnatural.

She must know Adrian's secrets! But each step that draws the inquisitive beauty deeper into his shadowy world pulls her closer to a sensuous surrender, for the power of his passion is impossible to resist. Is he man or monster, champion or villain? And will a yearning heart lead Caroline to disaster...or to love?

Review: After Midnight starts out as a cutesy historical romance with a plot that’s been done 1000 time before. It never entirely gets away from that but it still manages to be enjoyable. The characters were average but the romance grew on me. The paranormal aspects spiced up the bland plot somewhat and I liked that I didn’t know if Adrian was a vampire for a good part of the book. I’m not sure if I liked this one enough to read the sequel though.
