Midnight Caller (Moonlight Romance Book 1) Kindle Edition

Life without love is painful, but in the Reconstruction Era South forbidden fruit can be deadly. A fiery romance between a widow and an African-American man has more consequences than either of them imagined.

Slavery has ended, but racial prejudice remains in Kentucky. Emma Bennett guards a secret that could destroy her life. Until now she never considered the price of her security. Becoming a well-respected member in Louisville had seemed a dream come true, but at what cost?

Her husband’s death from a carriage accident releases Emma from her loveless, controlling marriage. Now she has a chance to find happiness and raise a family. But before she begins courting again she wants to experience her freedom. At the advice of the leading socialite in town, she takes a black lover to fulfill her sexual needs. His raw masculine power awakens feelings she didn’t know existed. After the first touch, she craves more.

Frederick works as a roustabout by day and moonlights as a prostitute. He knows better than to fall in love with his white client, but Emma enchants him the first time he calls on her. To keep them both safe, he works hard to put up barriers. Unfortunately, he can’t protect Emma from the slimy Mr. Hawthorne, who wants her as his bride. Frederick vows to keep her safe even if his forbidden love costs him his life.

Note: This novella contains explicit romance and is suitable for readers 18+

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction or in this case at least just as strange.
Midnight Caller was inspired by true events I discovered during research although for the purpose of the story I changed the steward into a roustabout. To learn more about black life on the Mississippi please read Black Life on the Mississippi: Slaves, Free Blacks, and the Western Steamboat World by Thomas C. Buchanan.
I have written many historical fiction novels and historical romances. Midnight Caller remains my favorite. I hope you enjoy it, too.

4.5 stars. In picking up Haley Whitehall's Midnight Caller, I will admit I experienced a bit of hesitation. Not because of the talented author and surely not because of her writing. I did worry, however, at whether or not this story would guarantee a happy ending, something I like with my romances. After all, this is a romance set in the tumultuous period after the Civil War when relations between whites and African Americans were volatile. How could a love between a white woman and a freed black man end well, especially with the prejudiced eyes of society on them? In giving us historical accuracy, how would Ms. Whitehall deliver on the romance? Well, I can say she certainly does. And after a couple of fraught, exquisite pages, it wasn't so much about the HEA anymore for me. It was about allowing myself to get swept away in this historical tale. In this novella, the author still manages to capture a slice of life in antebellum America and illustrates opinions of the times. Her writing has dignity and authority and her romance makes one sigh. I won't give anything away and share whether or not I got my HEA. Suffice to say, Haley Whitehall offers a satisfying resolution with her heart-stopping story. I would be pleased to read more by this author.

Ms. Whitehall has written an intelligent, romantic story with unusual characters. It gripped me from the beginning to the end. The history that this story is based on is very interesting. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book to be published in the series.

Surprised me. But in a very good way. Though I do wish that the outcome wasn't made to be quite so simple. Considering the era we're in, in this story. And the harsh and often times scary reality these characters have had to endure, & live through. I wish things played out a bit more realistically in certain ways as the plot unfolded. But the outcome/ending was still great. If not just a little too rushed, but still great. :)

The little twist that made certain things possible, I loved. But I caught onto the clue of it, long before it's reveal.

Overall I did like this read and I would recommend it.

Happy Reading:)

This book was very good. I finished in one day, I couldn't stop reading it!! I like that this love story was very realistic in late 1800's yet very few people have the guts to write about forbidden loves that across color lines but they show the real obstacles they face without sugarcoating things.

There was just something missing for me. It’s not a bad book and it isn’t badly written. The story just didn’t resonate with me. Either I was in the wrong frame of mind or I went in with too many expectations.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2018

A well-written and enjoyable interracial romance novel which I enjoyed a lot. The seduction – which wasn't really a seduction – was a bit of a letdown, with Frederic taking orders from Emma (“touch me here, touch me there,”) etc. I'd have preferred for Frederic to have been a bit more Alpha. Wouldn't everyone?

There aren't many BMWW interracial romance novels out there – excluding the amateuristic 24-page wonders we see a lot of – so I hope that Haley Whitehall writes more in this category
