Editorial Review:
All the king's men could not surpass the intellect, nor all the king's ladies the beauty of Merlin Lambourne. As the infamous Napoleon's deadly army grows ever closer, Lord Ransom Falconer frantically searches for an inventor who can create a new way to defeat the advancing forces. He unexpectedly finds that only the lovely Merlin is adequate for the challenge. Drunk from her intoxicating beauty, Falconer whisks Merlin backto his home on a trail of tender kisses, oblivious to mounting whispers ofscandal. His quickly falls under the spell of her magical touch. But as Napoleon draws nearer, Falconer must use Merlin's own inventions to protect her from danger. The magic of love surrounds them as they fall under the spell of undeniable passion.

Rating:  - The lord and the batty inventor
I'll start out this review by stating that I have no idea why the book is titled Midsummer Moon. Usually book titles have at least something to do with the book;s content, but this one... I never did quite figure it out. But that's okay, because it's a lovely book.
Merlin did, on occasion, drive me batty. She's so vague and oblivious and has no comprehension of sarcasm whatsoever. But that's okay, because it's her character. She's a vague and dreamy sort of inventor, the sort who pretty ... Read More
Rating: - Really good read!
This is a really good read with engaging characters and a story that draws you in and holds you to the end. One of the better books I've read in a long while.
Rating: - My favorite book of my favorite author!
I don't care what the others thought. I still believe this to be THE best of Kinsale's books. The inventor was just SO smart that she invented things to improve HER life (such as the talking box aka phone) and never considered that others would find it a miracle. Once her invention works, she forgot it and went on to the next. She was not absent minded or dense. She was just so smart she moved on.
This is my all time favorite of Laura Kinsale's books. That is saying something since Laura Kinsale ... Read More
Rating: - Worth a Second Look
I agree with another reviewer: when I first read this book, several years ago, I thought it was pretty "fluffy." However, it improves upon re-reading. There is more depth to the complex family dynamic than I first noticed. Ransom's relationship to his brother became more poignant on second reading. The mother's walk-ons became more humorous. And Ransom's behaviour toward the children in the story became more telling... Even at first read, I appreciated that she was more object-oriented than relationship ... Read More
Rating: - A "scientific romance" of great humor
OK, I'll admit - my absolute favorite thing about this book is that the real hero is Merlin's pet hedgehog. Oh, there's a human hero, of the usual tall, dark and handsome type, for love interest - but it's the hedgehog who really saves the day. He's a perfectly natural hedgehog, not an anthropomorphized animal - he just does his hedgehogly thing. As the human slave to three pet hedgehogs, I got a great kick out of him.
Let's see. Merlin hasn't invented quite as many things as Ayla (you may remember Ayla, from ... Read More
