5.0 out of 5 stars An absorbing read, real life characters and a great plot. 2 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ruth Wind has always been a favourite of mine. Her stories are more than just exciting romances. They allow you to experience different cultures in a way that makes you feel part of them. Her shorter romances are good, but this 400 page book is exceptionally so. I started reading it after supper and tried to stop at midnight. But each chapter kept pulling me further into the story. When I finished the book at 5.30 a.m. I felt that I had been part of the experience with the characters.

Ellie Connor and Blue Reynard are a little unusual as the hero and heroine of a romance. She is the serious biographer of a blues singer who disappeared in mysterious circumstances. He has a bit of the "Bronte" touch in his tortured past. Tracing the blues singer brings a poignancy to the story, particularly as it coincides with Ellie's underlying search for her own parents. This is a 21st century romance with a bit of nostalgia.

Like all good romantic fiction, the story takes you to the brink before one or two coincidences lead to the happy ending for Ellie and Blue. Nevertheless, the story is very credible and left me feeling a little weepy, with a lump in the throat.

5.0 out of 5 stars An indelible emotional experience 6 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In the Midnight Rain introduced me to a world of real people, with no glossing over the history between them and a real feel for the modern context and reality. In Blue Reynard Ruth Wind has created a well rounded and emotionally stunning man, and physically...be prepared for steamheat! But it's Ellie Connor and her search for the truth about a mysterious long gone blues singer and her no less long gone mother that is the core of this book. She is an absolute delight. I laughed with her, and yes, I cried...at one time in a first class business carriage full of men barking down their mobile phones! Please read this book if you want to feel the heart of a young woman beating, and to share the desperate need for belonging.

3.0 out of 5 stars great characters but ended too abruptly 19 May 2013
By riverratsam
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book and when I got to about 70% of it, I thought there was yet more to come. Sadly the author wrapped it up way too quickly and 25% of the 'book' is dedicated to excerpts from her other books. It was like she though carefully about the characters and storyline and then didn't know how to end it so just stopped. Disappointing.
