Product Description

Product Description

How can we harness the future if the past will not set us free? An emotive story of love, loss and letting go.

Opposites attract? Laura Brown, interior designer and James Morgan-Jones, horse whisperer - and Midnight Sky, a beautiful but damaged steeplechaser.
Laura seems to have it all, glamorous job, charming boyfriend. Her sister, Maggie, struggles with money, difficult children and an unresponsive husband. She envies her sister’s life, but are things as idyllic as they seem?

She might be a farmer's daughter but Laura is doing her best to deny her roots, even deny her true feelings. Until she meets James, but James is very married, and very much in love, to a wife who died two years ago. They both have issues to face from their past, but will it bring them together, or push them apart?

Praise for Midnight Sky: '...Jan has wound in realistic conflicts, a must for horse lovers too, plus some lovely romantic scenes...but, will it be a happy ending? Midnight Sky, takes you to the final pages before her story concludes and it isn't always how you might expect.'

This publication is written in British English. Spellings and grammatical conventions are conversant with the UK.

Also by Jan Ruth: Wild Water, White Horizon, The Long & The Short Of It.

About Jan Ruth
Jan Ruth lives in North Wales and her novels feature the rugged Welsh landscape and more often than not, her love of dogs and horses. Although she writes serious love stories with strong characterisation, she also captures the humour of modern everyday life and the endless complications of relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Poignant Love Story! 27 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
Midnight Sky is a lovely read set against the backdrop of sweeping coastal beaches and the wild open spaces of the Welsh mountains.

Stepping from stilettos to Hunter Wellingtons is nothing more than momentary necessity for someone who has the refurbishment of two farm cottages on her business agenda. Cue Laura an interior designer, whose love life is on a cliff-edge. Worse, her new client is a widower seemingly stuck in a dark melodramatic time warp of lost love. What could be worse than lack of communication when a job needs doing and the client is hell-bent on self-destruct and fighting unseen forces?

Whilst James buries himself in his equestrian business he seems indifferent to Laura, but she soldiers on with the project. James, though, is far deeper than first imagined, for when he comes to her aid in a moment of crisis the axis of their personal worlds tilt and each have a new dilemma to ponder. Midnight Sky is a poignant story of love found along life's winding path, in which Laura and James not only conquer their individual demons, they finally confess to feelings neither had imagined likely upon their first meeting at a windswept farmyard in North Wales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horse Sense in a Welsh Community 2 Jun 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Laura is pregnant and brimming with emotions. In love with Simon, a divorcing man whose wife doesn't want to let go completely, she struggles to hold on. Simon is more interested in money and their interior design business than in her. In the course of her work day, Laura comes upon James, a horse-whispering sensitive widower, who's teaching her sister Maggie's out-of-control teen to ride. Laura and her sister are very different. Maggie's problems are more to be expected. She supports her sister, but has a regular life and an easy husband, who's stronger than he looks.

James is infinitely patient with people and horses. He's training Midnight Sky to trust so he can sell the horse. The reader cannot help falling in love with him. It takes longer for Laura to weigh her values. The questions are: can James let go of his beloved dead wife, and can she let go of her self-defeating behaviors?

This is a believable book, filled with suspense, unexpected turns and vivid description. It's a great story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immediately hooked ... 9 Mar 2012
By Leri
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just finished it - and loved it, didn't want it to end. I love how the writer builds up the chemistry between the characters so slowly - but paints them in so vividly too. I fancied James immediately!!
We live in Snowdonia, so enjoyed the local references.
I wish I had discovered Jan Ruth when she had 20 books out! I have just devoured both of her books - LOVED wild Water and was a tiny bit scared of not loving Midnight Sky the same - but was immediately hooked and loving it completely. Sat and finished it this afternoon - because I couldn't get James and Laura out of my head and needed to be with them again. Now feel a bit lost. Hate that part about finishing a fabulous book.
