5.0 out of 5 stars A CIVIL WAR ENTERTAINTING PLOT 3 Sep 2005
By M. Hartmann - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ah well, another gal wanting her own way. Such are females.

Maria Taylor [Mar-I-ah]is suffering from hormones and wanting the man of her choice, namely Bowie Beckett. Of course, the society minded people of her era maintains that the son of an overseer is not fit mate material for the plantation owner's daughter.

Bowie does not want to follow in his father's footsteps and become an overseer. He operates independantly. He has formed "Beckett's Brigade" to save the cotton crop for Maria's father and the south. Thereby serving his alliagence to the South.

Smart mouthed Maria seems to know that the life as they know it is going to change. She is willing to work in the fields along with their workers. She is also determined to have Bowie as her husband.

She is also being stalked by the snake-in-the-grass, Lance Webster who intends to ruin her and marry her for his own gains.

[He do like to slap females around]

Yup! she rode into the ambush of Beckett's Brigade just a-shootin' but you got to remember she let out a screeching rebel yell. Bet that curled some toes.

I forgot to count how many times she almost caused Bowie to surrender to her wiles. She sure is determined.

Loved her buddying up with Cookee and learning to trail cook and she did seem to earn the Brigades respect.

Great story - great characters [don't forget her aunt] and the time spent at the King Ranch - great pace - not boring.

Great scene of the killings, I could feel the men's surprise as they died.

Definitely Recommended -m - definitely a keeper!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Civil War Romance! 21 Aug 2004
By Fruit Loop - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As a Civil War reenactor, I'm always overjoyed to find CW fiction, and this romance doesn't disappoint. Set in a theater of the war often overlooked - Texas - the author simultaneously presents a thrilling western theme, the heartbreaking choices those who fought in the war had to make, and a sexy romance! She clearly knows both the period and the setting, which is a refreshing change from so much of the bad CW fiction currently on the market. Maria is a spunky heroine who'll go to any lengths to get her man, and Bowie, the noble and daring hero, will endear himself to the reader. I look forward to more of this writer's work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Civil War western 31 Oct 2003
By Anne Walker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Reading MIDNIGHT SILK was a true pleasure for me, as I have so little time to read and often look for books out of the ordinary. Bowie's and Maria's journey across Texas, fraught with perils, hidden dangers, became real to me as I rode in the cotton wagons with them every step of the way. I loved how Ms. Grant wove history with fiction in relaying details of the Kenedy Ranch in Texas. Ms. Grant's book makes me clamor for more westerns of a different style, those that are smooth-paced with real history, and immerse one into the Americana culture of yesteryear. Reading books like hers makes me realize how little American history I absorbed in high school, and how much I have picked up simply reading romance. I highly recommend this book for lovers of all historical romances. You could learn something along the way!
