And Sabine dreamed of her own prince charming–the devastatingly handsome Jules de Moutier.
That was before the loss of her sister and her family’s fall from grace–a disaster Sabine blames on the Moutier family. Now, with her father’s death, she’s inherited his sizable debt and the responsibility of caring for his spoiled long-time mistress and her two wastrel daughters. But with the help of Sabine’s eccentric friends–the balance of her father’s acting troupe–she plans to get very close to her old infatuation, seduce the rake–and make away with a fortune.
Resisting Jules’s skillful mouth and tantalizing touch is not as easy as Sabine supposed. And soon she must decide whether her desire for vengeance is greater than her desire for her one and only prince…

Evocative, erotic and searingly romantic. A sensual treat.
A Midnight Dance is the first book in author Lila DiPasqua’s Fiery Tales series. Fiery Tales are erotic retellings inspired by Fairy Tales. A Midnight Dance is inspired by the tale of Cinderella.
I will admit that I have been eyeing this series for awhile now! At first glance, I fell in love with the beautiful covers and the fact they were inspired from fairy tales intrigued me. This was the first book I had the pleasure of reading from Ms. DiPasqua and it’s not the last! I loved this story and her writing style and look forward to reading more from her in the future!
Jules de Moutier was the firstborn son of the powerful and prominent Marquis de Blainville. After his father was convicted and executed for treason, Jules has spent the last five years privateering to reclaim everything his family lost.
Sabine Laurent’s late father was a prominent playwright. She’d been raised around actors and could play any role. When her father leaves the family in debt she is desperate to save her family.
I absolutely loved Sabine and Jules from the start. Both are strong, intelligent people who have lost much in their lives. They both have taken it upon their shoulders to restore their families. The chemistry between these two was hot, off the charts hot! The secondary characters were entertaining, the story line intriguing! The evil villain was not at all what I expected and in all honesty I could not put this book down! What a fabulous story!
Ms. DiPasqua just gained a new fan in me. I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to reading the rest of this series!
I have always wanted to read the series! This is a beautiful and emotional romance. The heroine is a beautiful and independent young lady, and the hero is a gorgeous alpha male!
I was just so addicted to the storyline. The story flowed, great secondary characters and attention to details. I fell in love with Jules and Sabine. She and her twin sister Isabelle were in love with the Moutier brothers. But a series of tragic events broke everything for everyone.
Her sister disappeared and her father died and lost the theatre. Jules family also suffered. This is a beautiful, romantic and sadly tragic, with suspense, mystery book. Well developed characters, interesting secondary characters added to the storyline. Heat level is a scorching 5 and I loved it! This book leaves room for another book on the secondary characters and ohh I absolutely loved the Epilogue! This is such a definite must read!
What’s not to love about Lila’s book. They are all awesome and I always pre-order because I must have it. This is a sort of Cinderella story about Sabine Laurent. She’s lost everything and blames it on Jules de Moutier. He is trying to clear his family name. The chemistry between the two was scorching. This is a page turner and not to be missed. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read the whole series. You will not be disappointed.
