Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good story
Review: When his son dies, Shane Howard, a half Irish and half English aristocrat, decides it is time to visit his Irish roots in an attempt to understand the conflict. When he arrives in Ireland, he hides the fact that he is the Marquess of Sherbourne, an absentee landlord despised by his tenants as "His Devilship".

When Shane meets widow Kathleen McNamara and her young daughter, he finds himself wanting to make both of them a part of his life. Kathleen reciprocates his feelings even though she knows that he is a close associate of the hated Marquess, who she believes murdered her deceased spouse. Shane quickly learns that his tenants have been mistreated because of his neglect of them. He begins to correct the problems. However, he also realizes that he loves Kathleen for her feisty independence, but is terrorized by the fact that same spirit will end their relationship once she uncovers the truth about his identity.

Award winning Marlene Suson displays why she is one of the most popular historical romance novelists of the nineties with her newest work, KISS ME GOODNIGHT. Readers will enjoy the crisp story line and the secondary players that bring alive the eighteenth century conflict between the plight of the Irish under English rule (think of Swift's A MODEST PROPOSAL without the irony). However, it is the passionate romance between Kathleen and Shane that sits on the fence between total happiness and total misery until the very end that turns this novel into an impressive reading experience.
