The Book

With a past she can’t escape and a love she can’t deny, this Cinderella’s story is far from over…

I was supposed to return to Enchanted Hollow under very different circumstances: free of my stepmother's clutches. But thanks to a twist of, well, cruelty–I’m in charge of a high-profile celebrity wedding there. The catch? I have to execute it to my stepmother’s extremely high standards to get my life back.

Fairytale weddings and happily ever afters are my thing, so this should be an easy slam dunk. Except that my point-of-contact at Ever After Farms is my best friend’s older brother, Luke Jackson.

The problem? He doesn’t really approve of the town’s matchmaking antics. My celebrity bride, Holly, likely fell in love thanks to a little magic. To top it all off? It’s the busiest time of year for his family’s farm.

I’ve got a solid plan in place until our meet cute causes my emotions to be more tangled than the pumpkins in his patch. Then Holly assumes we’re a couple–hello fake relationship–and things spiral out of control. The deeper I get into wedding planning, the less according to plan everything goes.

Luke is determined to prove all the things I’ve believed wrong, but in the best ways. Maybe it’s time I borrow a little courage and write my own happy ending…

Meet Me At Midnight is a closed door, romcom retelling of Cinderella with magical elements and sizzling kisses!

The Author

Monique writes sweet, no-spice, small town romances. While they might have a smidge of angst, you'll always find a happily ever after with swoony couples and character growth. When she's not writing, she can be found watching The Big Bang Theory or Friends (or a Marvel movie), on the water with her family, or reading a book. She lives in Texas with her husband of 18 years, four kids, two dogs (Thor and Loki), and a cat.

Book Review

If you've ever wondered what you'd get if you mashed up Once Upon a Time + A Cinderella Story + Gilmore Girls... well, the answer is Meet Me at Midnight! From the moment I first heard about this one, it became one of my most anticipated reads (Cinderella has a special place in my heart because of its role in my own love story!) and not only did it not disappoint, it also far exceeded my expectations! This story was the perfect blend of the classic Cinderella story elements with just the right amount of magic and all the great small-town vibes... while still feeling very unique to itself too... and I was absolutely here for all of it! Right from the start, I was drawn into this story and this magical town. With each page I found myself drawn deeper in and I could not put it down... this is definitely one of those books that will have you kissing sleep and/or productivity goodbye until it's over, but I have absolutely no regrets! Luke and Ella have such a wonderful chemistry between them, and I was so happy to see them get their chance at a happily ever after. Magical letters, hilarious sibling chats, small-town gossip and all the fall vibes... there truly was so much to love in this story and I am very much looking forward to seeing what happens next in the series! 

Meet Me at Midnight is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
