Ruth Wind has written a compelling story about two wounded people who come to terms with their losses, their pasts and each other. This books is wonderful and I can't wait for Ms. Wind's next one. I loved every word.

Summary: Lovely and lush, sensuous and sensual
Review: I didn't know it could get this good. Ruth Wind weaves together the history of a town and a woman's search for her past with a sexy love story. Blue Reynard is a hero I won't soon forget, but he's only one piece of a story that takes "women's fiction" way beyond the usual. Wow!

Summary: Outstanding women's fiction
Review: I have been waiting forever for a longer book from the incredibly talented Ruth Wind. This was is everything I'd hoped it would be and more--rich, evocative, filled with secrets and yearning, and topped off with a triumphant, bittersweet ending.

Summary: A Good Reading Experience
Review: I read In the Midnight Rain and was quite impressed. I'm not quite sure why I picked it up at the bookstore because I had never heard of the author but I'm always looking for new talent. But the fact of the matter is, I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it and I didn't want the story to end. Ms. Wind is truly a talented writer and I'm looking forward to reading whatever she next releases. For those of you who haven't read this novel do.

Summary: Heated and sexy
Review: I really enjoyed this sensual romance as the hero and hrone fight their demons of the past to trust to love. Both have loved and lost and so are fearful of getting involved with each other, but anyone can see Blue and she are made for each other. Interesting secondary characters create a very believable world. As always her heroes are divinely sexy, very manly, but perceptive and sensitive. The mystery element as she seeks her identity, which, if not entirely surprising. is handled well. A super read, one any lover of romance and women's fiction will really savour. She has a wonderful way with language and a true ability to capture setting and character with wonderful details.

Summary: Absorbing Read
Review: If you want a book you can really get into, that draws you in like a slow, Southern night . . . that seems to last forever, that gets into your soul so deeply you can't put it down until you've turned the final page, then read this book! It's not a book to be gulped down quickly, but gently swallowed and savored, like the Bourbon the hero is fond of drinking in the novel. Ellie is a biographer, coming to Pine Bluff, Texas to find her roots, and the true story behind a mysterious Blues singer who disappeared decades ago. In the process, she slowly unravels the mystery, and falls deeply in love with a fascinating sexy man nicknamed "Blue" for his love of the Blues. I can't say more without spoiling the plot, and the love story, but rest assured, I am now a Ruth Wind fan for life! I've always enjoyed her category romances, but am grateful she's now writing bigger, longer books to savor all the more.

Summary: Ruth Wind just gets better and better!
Review: In the Midnight Rain is the kind of book you sip and savor and roll around on your tongue like Blue Reynard's favorite bourbon. It is as haunting as the blues drifting through a steamy summer night, as compelling as the questions that bring Ellie Connor to the town of Pine Bend. It has the slow, lavish sensuality of all good fiction set in the South. Ruth Wind brings to this work an eloquence in both her understanding of her characters and her use of language that makes this story linger in you mind long after you have closed the cover.

Summary: Mystery, Romance, Poetry
Review: Love mystery, romance, lyrical style? Then don't miss Ruth Wind's In the Midnight Rain. Set in the deep south, the story revolves around biographer Ellie Connor's search for the facts surrounding the disappearance of a popular blues singer and, coincidentally, Ellie's own parentage. Don't dismiss this as just another mystery, romance, whatever- other- genre. Wind is a spellbinding storyteller whose poetic style can land you right there in the sultry south, listening to the blues, sipping bourbon in the velvety southern night air, hearing the fish jumping. You'll be as driven as Ellie to dicover the truth behind the mystery of Mabel Beauvais and to figure out just which one of Pine Bend's young men could have been the father of hippie Diane Connor's love child. Wind shows an uncanny knowledge of and sensitivity to southern mores and race relations in the post-desegregation south. As a southerner by birth, I'd have guessed her a native. A true page turner that reveals some beautiful truths about the power of love to triumph over bias, betrayal and fears from the past. One great read.

Summary: This book is stunning!
Review: Ruth Wind just keeps getting better and better! The hero and heroine have great chemistry, and the mystery from the past was fascinating. This book certainly deserves its nomination as an Romance Writers of America RITA finalist.
