About this ebook

Princess Sidony of L'Ortagia serves as the queen's hostess, leaving affairs of state to her sister Zara. During a masquerade ball, Sidony kisses a handsome stranger only to discover he's Prince Adrian of Embury, a man with a fearsome reputation and the emissary sent to arrange her sister's marriage. Worried her actions will damage the budding alliance, she convinces Adrian to forget the incident...even if she cannot.

Adrian roots out traitors in his uncle's kingdom of Embury using his magical abilities. When he's sent to arrange a wedding for his cousin, a kiss in the moonlight gives him a taste of what he's been missing. Sidony is everything his life is not: laughter, warmth, and passion. But the king maintains an unbreakable hold over him, hiding his family in exchange for Adrian's loyalty to the crown.

After Zara disappears on the eve of the royal wedding, Adrian's orders are to stay and maintain the alliance with L'Ortagia. But Sidony's effect on his powers and his heart becomes too strong to deny. When he has a chance to rescue his family and throw off his royal ties, will he take it, knowing he'll have to leave Sidony? Or will the dark prince abandon his past to be with the one woman who brought his cold heart to life? 

Ratings and reviews

Kissed at Midnight by Ainsley Wynter is the first book in the Last Royals series. This book focuses on the story of two princesses and how their arranged marriages will effect not only the rest of their lives but their kingdom’s politics with the kingdom next door. This is a fairytale story set in the 18th century that is part nightmare with lots of twists and turns. I loved the mysterious way the plot was written and how all of the characters have many different motivations for their actions. This is a wonderful romance that made me wonder if true love can actually overcome evil. This is one fairytale that you will find very entertaining because it keeps you guessing until the very end. Kissed at Midnight is an entertaining tale involving the fight of good versus evil.
