Gosh, I love a good romance, especially when there’s a delicious, steamy male involved who is a sweetheart.
I’ve been reading this author for many years, and every time I pick up one of her books, I fall in love with the characters in her stories. This upcoming release is another winner in my book. Check out my thoughts below.

Midnight Kiss by Louise Bay
Publisher: Louise Bay
Publication date: June 11, 2026
ISBN-13: 978-1804560556
OVERVIEW:
Thirty-six, and somehow I’d become the supporting character in everyone else’s love story.
I never left my village in England except for university. Never took the risk. Then one phone call from New York and one piece of news I couldn’t outrun sent me across an ocean for a three-month trial at Hotel on Ninth Street. And my one shot at finally starring in my own life.
I lasted exactly six minutes before a gorgeous, glowering stranger slammed into me, drenched my shirt in coffee, and stalked off without so much as saying sorry.
Of course, Deacon Black is the hotel’s most important guest.
Of course, he’s there every week.
And of course he’s a fiercely protective single dad whose entire life is built around never letting anything — or anyone — shake his daughter’s world.
I’m leaving in three months. He doesn’t do temporary. Falling for him is the worst possible use of my brand-new fresh start.
So why does it feel like walking away is the biggest risk of all?
Midnight Kiss by Louise Bay Review
I love a great millionaire/billionaire romance, and Louise Bay always delivers with her steamy romances.
Midnight Kiss delivers the goods in the best ways. We have strong, likable characters. I mean, who can resist steamy single Dad vibes?
Our female lead is super nice but a touch naïve. She is learning her worth and value in the work world, but she definitely knows it in her personal life. She’s learning how to enjoy life and not apologize for it.
I fell for this story because the main characters are a little bit older and are faced with different issues like infertility, single parenting, dating, or trying to have a relationship as an 30’s something person who is a workaholic. Location and impending life changes are also key factors in their story.
These two main characters had me swooning a bit! Of course, the heat level was on point and definitely spicy in several aspects. Their connection in all aspects was fire.
Midnight Kiss is everything that you’re looking for in a romance. Bay delivers an engrossing, signature style read with a beautiful HEA. Another winner!
