I got this book as a present from the author and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a fan of Laura Taylor for awhile and "Midnight Storm" did not disappoint. I enjoyed the characters, the steamy romance and the plot line and I stayed up way past my bedtime to read just one more chapter. I had a really hard time putting the book down. Can't wait to read the the authors next book.
Read and will easily forget this book. Disliked Jessica. Found Jessica a bit too martyr-ish in relation to her mother and her thinking. Yes, she was a child when this cycle started but she is still enabling her mother’s self-serving behaviours. Her past thinking in relation to Devlin was just weak. I did it for his own good but I am sorry. Devlin had never moved on in his personal life, even when he heard Jessica had gotten married. He’d had lovers but no one serious. The little we get of the mother just blew me away. What a selfish cow. To phone and say, I got married, to someone her daughter hadn’t really met. WOW. Read many years ago and rereading once again in the box set.
I’m honestly not sure what I thought about this book. I really couldn’t connect with Jessica, she threw away her chance of real love because is something that might not happen, and then she marries a guy that she knows she doesn’t love. Dev was good, he’s more forgiving than I am. All in all this book isn’t a keeper.
Very engaging. Loved the tension between the lovers. Very vivid imagery. I was hoping for a bigger reveal at the end. That said, I would still recommend it to others and I plan to read more in this series.
This book was a nice read. Felt connected with the characters but there was no angst. Nothing to grip me with. I loved intimate strangers so thought this would be just as good. I'm sorry but it isn't. A nice story but will be easily forgotten.
