Again I though would he really keep her? The story just didn’t flow for me. After he discovers she is a virgin, she then convinces him to keep her with him for the next three days as they travel to the next town. Maybe he is just horny, and willing to overlook her meek and mild manner.

The way she “seduces” him didn’t seem very convincing – yet he falls for it. Jules and Sabine not only have sex from the get-go, but Sabine tricks Jules into thinking she is this experienced harlot, rather than a well-bred virgin.

Sabine is desperate to steal his money, and Jules is just as desperate to keep it, and punish Sabine for her lies.Īfter I read the first few chapters, I honestly didn’t think I was going to like this book. But after he debauches her, and realizes she is (or was) a virgin, he knows he has been played. He has gone without a woman for some time. When Sabine saunters into his camp (he doesn’t know who she is from his past) her saucy demeanor attracts him to her. Jules has turned to privateering for the past five years – gathering Spanish silver so that one day he can repurchase his family’s lands. Then Sabine can run off with the silver saving her family from debtor’s prison. Her cousins will come in with her with tainted wine, so everyone passes out.

Due to her theater background, she acts as a harlot, out to seduce the leader of the group. Sabine’s plan? Rob a group of privateers who have an abundance of silver. Her family and friends from the theater owe taxes, and they have no money to pay them. Her father sent Isabelle away to work, and now she is presumed dead as well. Her father ended up having to sell his estate to Jules’ family, and now owe his family taxes – that are raised all the time. Eight years later, Sabine’s father is dead and they have no money. He may not ever notice her, but she is in love.īut the fairytale is about to enter dark times.

In particular, Sabine became very enamored by her very own Prince Charming – Jules de Moutier. Sabine and her twin sister Isabelle used to spy on all of the handsome men in the theater crowd. Her father owned a very respectable theater in Paris that catered to the elite. Sabine Laurent was once a wealthy young adult. In A Midnight Dance, we get a version of Cinderella.
