Summary

Summary

Jude Deveraux's bestselling Moonlight trilogy set in Edilean--the small Virginia town where the surprising destinies of three college friends unfold--continues with this enchanting new novel.

After being abruptly jilted, Sophie Kincaid flees to the place her friend Kim Aldredge calls heaven on earth. But Sophie's first taste of Edilean is far from heavenly: after her car breaks down on a country road, she is nearly run over by a speeding sports car. A small act of revenge brings some satisfaction, and word quickly spreads that a gorgeous newcomer gave the driver, the notoriously bitter Dr. Reede Aldredge, a dressing down! But it isn't the first time the fiery artist has gone too far for payback; a secret possession she carries with her could shatter her ex-boyfriend's future. Reede Aldredge has secrets, too, including a desire to get closer to the beauty who is turning his dark world upside down. Under the night skies, their masquerade is magic--but will it turn to dust by the light of day?

Booklist Review

Deveraux returns to the idyllic Virginia town of Edilean for the finale in her trilogy (Moonlight in the Morning, 2012; Stranger in the Moonlight, 2012) about three former college roommates who find love and purpose within the close-knit community. After being dumped by frozen-food heir Carter, Sophie escapes to Edilean, where her friend Kim gets her a job with her brother Reede, who has been unhappily filling in as the local doctor. Nearly the entire town colludes to get Reede and Sophie together when they see how happy she makes him and, in turn, how much nicer he is to his patients and staff. This group effort to help Sophie find happiness is endearing, but some of the plot points, which include Sophie and Reede foiling robbers who target Edilean's big masquerade party, are far-fetched and underdeveloped. But this novel does wrap things up neatly for readers who followed the trilogy, with happy endings for Sophie, Reede, and a host of others.--Walker, Aleksandra Copyright 2010 Booklist
