This was a really nice Historical Fiction Romance novel. Even though Charmaine has a tough time with her family right now, she has been working hard to keep them afloat. What that involves is putting on games for a ‘charity’. The games are done at a ball as well where she meets Kosta. There is love, family, drama, and scheming in this novel, but oh so good!

I typically do not read historical romance, but what a wonderful story of two opposites being pulled together. The characters and plot are well-developed. The author has created a Cinderella vibe, however, in this story, Charmain has a lot of responsibility being put on her to ensure her siblings are taken care of. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to those who love an unpredictable romance.

Midnight Masquerade The Brightley Sisters Book 1 By: Halley Larkin Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this book! What a beautiful work of historical fiction! Larkin’s description and detail of the costumes for the masquerade ball were ethereal. I felt completely drawn into the story at that point. I also loved that this book gives off a Cinderella vibe but Kosta is the one that knows who Charmaine is. The emotions between Kosta and Charmaine are so intense and romantic that you can truly feel their passion. Charmaine’s character herself was really emotionally gripping with everything she is dealing with and the responsibilities she has on her shoulders. I found her relatable and Larkin’s writing makes it so easy to feel any emotion she is trying to portray. This book also exceeded my expectations with how many thrills and twists there were. It really kept me turning pages and I was pleasantly surprised. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in this series, Spellbound Seduction (The Brightley Sisters Book 2). I highly recommend giving this series a try. You’ll love what you find.

It’s been a minute since I read a historical romance but I really enjoyed this one. And I liked that while it’s a Regency romance, it also brings in Russian aristocracy. You feel for the characters, especially Charmaine, who seems to be caught between her desires and her social responsibilities as well as her responsibilities to her sisters’ wellbeing. There’s plenty of intrigue and pining, but Charmaine and her sisters are also pretty unconventional, which was really enjoyable to read. If you like Bridgerton, this is the book for you!

I have to admit that the beautiful cover made me want to read this book. I am a huge fan of historical fiction, especially from this era. This story takes place in the 1800s and all of the elements that a reader could want are included: mystery, romance, politics, danger, societal drama, and historical background. This story caught my interest quickly and the writing was as beautiful as the cover. It was extremely hard to put down! I found myself connecting with the main character, Charmaine, and her struggle between what she wants and her responsibilities. Despite the story taking place in a very different world than the one I live in, I often feel this way as well. A good author makes the characters relatable, which causes the reader to become invested. This is the first book in this series and I look forward to reading the next one.

I did enjoy this book. Even I don’t normally read books that are written during an older era. This author did a great job of describing the clothes and scenery. Makes you feel like you are actually there. The love story between Lady Charmaine Brightley and Duke Konstantin Rostov is written so beautifully. Definitely recommend it if you love old love stories.

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging historical romance which was full of period details which made me feel immersed in the story. The storyline follows the Brightly sisters, and this novel focuses on Charmaine Brightley, who in order to protect her younger sisters, when they lose the family’s inheritance to a distant male cousin, makes plans to make a practical marriage match. Charmaine believes that romantic love is a ridiculous notion, until she meets a stranger at her own masquerade ball and she can’t deny their instant attraction. Duke Konstantin “Kosta” Rostov had to abandon Russia and travel to England following a tragic duel. Kosta sneaks into a masquerade ball at Cortwood Manor, and when he meets the alluring Lady Charmaine, their chemistry sizzles. Kosta is forced to serve his cruel stepfather and so when he is sent back to Cortwood, he wonders why his stepfather wants him to seek out Charmaine. When he realises his stepfather is out to destroy her, can he go through with it, after all Charmaine has captured Kosta’s heart. The descriptive narrative really brought the setting to life and I loved the main characters, Charmaine and Kosta have a definite connection and I liked how their relationship developed. I look forward to Charmaine’s sisters getting their own stories.

Midnight Masquerade just has an ethereal, fairytale beginning that calls to my inner romantic! Star-crossed lovers must face down their opposition and fight for a chance at freedom. Both have weighty burdens that try to keep them apart from their instant chemistry, but can they make it past all that? Will the temptation of love and passion trump all? Stolen moments, sizzling heat, and intrigue kept me reading page after page. A wonderful historical romance!!

Midnight Masquerade is the first book in The Brightley Sisters series by Halley Larkin. I loved meeting the Brightley sisters and following along as Charmaine, the elder sister, sets of on a quest for love. The sisters hold a masked ball to raise funds for a worthy cause, enter a mysterious stranger who immediately captures Charmaine’s interest. After three ‘failed’ seasons of not finding a husband, she is quickly approaching the point where she will be considered an old maid and ‘off the market’. As the older sister she holds the fate of not only herself, but her two younger sisters, in her hands. She feels the weight of this responsibility weighing on her shoulders and knows time is running out. Meeting this charming and mysterious stranger at the ball has her hoping she may have finally found her ‘match’ and the solution to her problems. But he leaves before she is able to discover his identity. Now her future depends on uncovering who the masked stranger is. Add in a Duke with his own pressing problems and a past that haunts him, some meddling sisters, an ailing father, reputations at risk, a nasty ex and his vengeful father, agendas, the ‘ton politics, and societal expectations of the day- and things not only get a bit tense, but also quite intriguing. Definitely looking forward to the other books in the series! Happy Reading!

Charmaine Brightley is the eldest daughter of her family and three seasons past her time to secure a husband. She has her own plans and ideas, and they do not align with 1800s English society. At the masquerade she and her sisters host each year, a stranger asks her to dance, and like a Cinder-FELLA story, he disappears at midnight. Her sisters offer a wager that if they can find the mysterious man, Charmaine will agree to marry him. This was a delightful, romantic story that I recommend.

Set in Victorian England,1850 it is a majestic regency romance. Lightness and Darkness meld as we traverse the minefield of finding what they need before it is too late. A rogue mysterious yet handsome stranger with a dark past. A headstrong woman who is looking to escape with her sisters and their plight but also rebels against the “norm” of society. This is one enchanting masquerade that will change both of their lives. The story is nicely written, and the world-building is mysterious and delightful. With a web of lies and secrets, drama and twists the story is set to entice lovers of historical romance.

This is such a beautiful historical romance. I was instantly transported to the past, where Charmaine has to look for a suitable match if she doesn’t want her family home to be passed on to a distant male relative. It isn’t fair that a woman had to make such choices back then simply because she was a female. However much Charmaine wants to do what is best for her family and her home, she still wants that true love even though she fears she will never find it. She ends up crossing paths with Kosta and the attraction is immediate and undeniable. She doesn’t feel that he is the match that she should make but her heart tells her otherwise. He’s hiding a big secret that can make all the difference for their future. I really enjoyed this book, it’s absolutely a swoon worthy romance that had me hooked from the first page. I’m looking forward to finding out more about the other Brightley sisters in future books.

This book is one of those books that you just can’t resist reading based on it’s beautiful cover. When I first came across this book I didn’t even bother reading the synopsis I knew based off the cover alone that I would love it. This book was everything that I imagined it would be with just enough romance, entertainment and just a little mystery, I just simply couldn’t put it down. I am also a sucker for a fairytale retelling and this one gave me a very Cinderella feel. With a strong female lead, a handsome male lead pretending to be something he’s not, and great supporting characters trust me when I say that you should pick this book up today. I know personally I can’t wait to see what our author gives us next.
What an absolutely fantastic story! I loved every minute of it and I think I have definitely found a new author to love. I was completely captivated by what I was reading, the wonderful twists and turns in the characters’ lives had me turning the pages faster and faster just so I could find out what was going to happen next. Historical romances are my favourite and the author definitely did this genre justice with this story. From her vivid and detailed writing that allowed me to imagine what I was reading to the smaller details which showed she understands the era she is writing for. Although its only February this is definitely one of my reads of 2022 so far! I feel that I also really need to say how beautiful and eye catching the cover is too, I don’t usually take much notice of covers – if I did I wouldn’t have read some of my favourite books – however this one is so serene looking it really is stunning to look at. Overall this was a wonderful story and I am definitely looking forward to the next one in the series!

The cover immediately drew me in. An absolutely stunning piece of art.
This was my first book ever by this author but I must say I was impressed by the sheer exquisiteness of world-building in this book.
The characters were relatable and I liked the mystery element mixed in with the regency romance, a genre I don’t usually tend to pick up. Will definitely be trying more in this genre.
The storyline was nicely written and kept me interested throughout. Will be looking forward to trying more from this author.

Lady Charmaine is the oldest of 3 girls. With her mothers passing and her father fallen ill, she is tasked to make sure her and her sisters are taken care of. She doesn’t care much for the likes of London society. She is headstrong and stubborn, holding out for someone she wants to love instead of having a marriage of convenience. Duke Konstantin is a roguish character who has lost everything and is trying to get it back. He has to deal with his step family being abusive to him. The writing was well done. I enjoyed reading this book. I may have to put it on my shelf to keep reading over and over again!

I very much enjoyed this story, and read it through until the wee hours! The Brightley sisters are a wonderful trio of young women who have entered “society” and have been tasked with looking for a husband. Despite reservations on Charmaine and Arabella’s part, the impending loss of their family estate motivates them to find someone with the means to care for them – especially the eldest, Charmaine. She feels a keen responsibility to her younger sisters to land a husband who can care for them all. She very grudgingly admits this necessity, but has no feelings for any man – until she meets a swarthy handsome stranger. But mystery cloaks him, and he is hiding some explosive secrets. Can the two of them find a way to be together?
This book gives off some major Jane Austen vibes, and definitely charmed me with its wit and plot twists. The characters of Charmaine, Arabella, and Rosalind are very unique and well-drawn, I was hooked into reading until the end. Masterfully written, lots of fun, and I definitely recommend it!
Truly loved this amazing and enchanting book. It reminded me very much of a fairy tale. I could not get over how much it related to a story of girl meets love of her life sort of thing. I did not expect the darkness or things hidden that came to light. Made me love this book and the story so much even more!
One moment can define your destiny. I found this to be true. But when does the fairy tale really end? I think the characters of Kosta and Charmaine. Both meet one evening, but that one night leads to a moment that changes all that they knew. Good or bad? There was no going back. I was very entranced where things happened from there. the story had its light factors as well as its darkness which I loved.
Both of these characters chose what they chose the night they met, really from where they came from. Not knowing all things come with a price. Both have to do things that will better serve them. There was more outside the walls of their mind, a darkness that could overfill their minds if they allowed it. The story as enchanting as it was, showed a fairy tale can not last forever. But, you also have the choice to make the most and best of it.
Loved this book. Super excited to read the next in the series as well. I was really amazed by the talented writing as well. I do highly recommend this addictive book and the characters. I found there was more to every side of the story with the characters. A must read for sure! Do not let this slip by!

Charmaine and Kosta come together under tough circumstances. Charmaine has given up a lot to take care of her sisters and to think of losing it to some strange man. Unthinkable to me, I can only imagine how it was in those days. It doesn’t sound like Kosta had it any better. The challenges abounded and somehow these two will fight through. Will they stay/get together? You’ll have to read it. The characters are relatable. The plot felt fairly smooth with some twists and turns. I recommend it for your historical romance and mystery fans. Check it out.

I enjoyed this historical romance story. This is a newer author for me that I look forward to seeing what is next for her. This is a well written story about a duke that has a past, a lady who doesn’t seem to have a future and one night that could change everything. Neither one expected fate to take over. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. The author’s writing style is such that she made me want to know more. Her characters are realistic and made the story come to life. This is a fast paced, engaging story that was hard to put down. I also enjoyed the growth of not only the characters but also the plot. This was a great read for a cold afternoon at home. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
