Fighting fire with fire

Nick Mancino always gets what he wants -- until now. Despite his seductive persistence, brainy, beautiful scientist Kay Hudson continues to elude him. However, Nick was a Navy Seal, and an FBI Special Agent, so giving up isn't an option.

Ever since that incendiary kiss they shared when Nick saved her beloved grandfather's life, Kay’s been having red hot fever dreams about Nick, but she’s got no business being tempted by anything. She’s on the verge of risking her reputation, her career, her very life, to blow the lid off a deadly bioweapons conspiracy, and Nick’s smoldering eyes, rock-hard body and hot, searching lips should be the very last thing on her mind.

However, with so much to lose, she deserves one blazing night of pleasure with Nick before she disappears forever.

But Nick won't let her face her demons alone . . . and they will have to face down an enemy that could consume them...and the entire world.

❤️❤️ 4 Men of Midnight Stars!! ❤️❤️

Former FBI Special Agent Nick Mancino has been wanting and dreaming about Dr. Kay Hudson since their last meeting when he saved her grandfather (Retired FBI Agent) Al Goodnight who wet met in Metal’s & Falicity’s book Midnight Promises. When Nick who now works with the AIS Team finally catches up with her, they spend one explosive night together.

Little does Nick know that within a short time Kay will disappear and walk right into danger. Naturally, Nick is not keen on letting Kay walk away, especially walking into danger to expose a deadly plot that will have the potential of killing 1000’s of innocent people. Midnight Fever is action packed, suspenseful, and sexy!

As I’ve said in the past these books remain the same.....alpha hero, strong women, yet, they are none the less damsels in distress. Regardless of the theme remaining the same I AM HOOKED on these Men of Midnight books, I love that past characters are very involved with each new book, I love getting their updates, seeing their growing families, and watching them all work together to help (the current couple) in any way they can. I can't wait to get the next Midnight book!!

There were a couple of loose ends in this book that lacked conclusion and although there was a lot of talk of Nick’s huge Italian family and Kay’s beloved Grandfather Al Goodnight neither make an appearance, I found that disappointing along with what seemed to be an abrupt ending…had we met some of Nick’s family and/or had a cameo from Kay’s Grandfather this would have been a five star read for me.

All-in-all another great addition to the Midnight Men series!! Definitely a must read if you’re a fan of the series!!

Midnight Fever no me gusto tanto como esperaba, algo sorprendente ya que soy una gran admiradora de Lisa Marie Rice desde que la conoci, pero la verdad es que esta lectura se me hizo aburrida en algunas partes y lo que es aun peor, no consegui simpatizar con la pareja protagonista.

Otra de las razones por la que esta novela me desiluciono es debido al parecido que tiene con Reckless Honor de Tonya Burrows, la diferencia es que Reckless Honor es muuuy superior y esta historia me resulto demasiado sosa, le falta fuerza, no solo a la trama sino tambien a los protagonistas.

Nick y Kay no son personajes horribles, pero la realidad es que forman una pareja demasiado comun, no destacan, ademas los conocemos tan poco que es imposible que se vuelvan memorables.

En resumen, no es de los mejores libros de la autora, todo se desarrolla demasiado rapido y simple para mi gusto. Si realmente quieres leer algo de la escritora te recomiendo sus otros libros, son mucho mejores.

2.5 Estrellas!

Uau! História maravilhosa!
Se você está procurando um herói perfeito e uma heroína encantadora você acaba de encontrar.
Ele é um macho alfa de primeira qualidade com aquelas características que amamos e conhecido como "Nick the Lionheart" pela bravura dele.
Ela é uma linda mulher, amorosa, leal à família e amigos, com grande ética profissional, super inteligente e especialista em virologia com um PhD e dois Masters.
Os heróis juntos são explosivos e colocam fogos nos lençois quando conseguem chegar até eles, porque eles são mestres em transar contra paredes. Os dois são muito quentes e a química entre eles é perfeita.
A melhor amiga da heroína descobre que alguém do departamento deles está vendendo os estudos para ser usado como arma biológica. Esta amiga é assassinada e deixa Kay encarregada de continuar a investigação.
Traída por colegas que deveriam assegurar que as pesquisas feitas seriam usadas somente para o benefício das pessoas e não para enriquecimento pessoal.
Os caras malvados criaram uma arma biológica com o vírus da gripe que somado com o DNA do alvo escolhido se torna em uma arma mortal e que atinge apenas a vítima ou aqueles que compartilham DNA com ela. Um vírus que é a arma perfeita com ação rápida e que some do organismo em 24 horas não deixando nada que incrimine o assassino.
Após vários assassinatos interligados à investigação. Tudo dá errado e nosso herói e a equipe dele entram em ação para salvar o dia.
Muitas cenas de ação e suspense e mais paredes são testadas pelos heróis.
O leitor não consegue parar a leitura para saber como tudo vai ser resolvido e se o assassino vai conseguir atingir Kay.
O final é realmente muito bom e o pedido de casamento é épico. Nunca vou esquecer a cena.
Recomendo muito toda série.
Este livro foi meu favorito até agora.

Wow! Wonderful story!
If you are looking for a perfect hero and a charming heroine you just found here.
He's an alpha male of first quality with those features we love and known as "Nick the Lionheart" by his bravery.
She is a beautiful woman, loving, loyal to friends and family, with a great work ethic, super smart and Virology expert with a PhD and two Masters.
The heroes together are explosives and put sheets on fire when they can get to them, because they are masters at sex against walls. Both are very hot and the chemistry between them is perfect.
Kay best friend finds out that someone in the Department is selling the studies to be used as a biological weapon. This friend is murdered and let Kay tasked to continue the investigation.
Betrayed by colleagues who should ensure that the research done would be used only for the benefit of the people and not for personal enrichment.
The bad guys have created a biological weapon with the flu virus that combined with the DNA of the target becomes in a deadly weapon and that reaches only the victim or those who share DNA with. A virus that is the perfect weapon with fast action and that disappears in 24 hours leaving no anything that would incriminate the killer.
After several murders connected to the investigation. Everything goes wrong and our hero and his team come into action to save the day.
Many scenes of action and suspense and more walls are tested by the heroes.
The reader can't stop reading to find out how everything will be resolved and if the killer will get Kay.
The end is really good and the proposal is epic. I will never forget the scene.
I highly recommend the whole series.
This book was my favorite so far.

Highlights:
"...he was with Alpha Security International, a big security company in Portland."

"Nick wasn’t known for his long-term relationships, but he wasn’t a player, either."

And yet…it never failed to astonish her that people could be more dangerous than disease. More murderous, capable of much greater damage."

"The consensus was that Nick was a really good guy, one of the rare ones. Hard-headed, yes, stubborn as they come, but brave as a lion."

He must be wondering whether she suffered from some kind of mental or hormonal disorder. Maybe she was. Nick Lust Disorder.

“It’s just dessert, Nick.” He wasn’t smiling at all. “Not the way you’re eating it, sweetheart. You’re making this pure sex.”

"Nick the Lionheart!"

"...he hadn’t been to bed with anyone since that kiss. Pathetic, but there it was.

"She was a virologist and geneticist—the fuck he knew about genes? Except the fact that his were irresistibly drawn to hers."

"Kay was real and warm and funny and so sexy she turned him inside out without even trying."

“I don’t think I can make it to the bed,” he whispered against the skin of her neck. “Then don’t,” she whispered back."

“Wow.” Wow was right.

"They’d walked into her hotel room and then she’d found herself plastered against the wall, somehow her clothes had come off and enough of his clothes had come off to make sex possible and the rest was a sweaty blur."

“We’re not alone, honey. We have a team at our back.”

"I have a horrible feeling we’re looking at a powerful bio-weapon, maybe weaponized Spanish flu. Certainly, whatever killed Mike did it in a minute, a minute and a half."

“we’re a team. Where Nick goes, we go.”

“A perfect murder weapon. A virus tailored to someone’s DNA, delivered by drone. Essentially a natural death, put down to a sudden allergic attack, a stroke or a heart attack. The murderer can be far away, guiding the drone by a tablet, waiting for the right moment."

"It’s the perfect weapon, surgically precise."

“Dr. Frank Winstone. The head of the CDC.”
He’d betrayed her, he’d betrayed the thousands of people working for the CDC, he’d betrayed the thousands who’d risked their lives. He’d betrayed the millions of Americans who trusted the CDC to keep them safe.

“Bio-weapons, huh? Give me a gunned-up mobster any day.”

"Kay scienced the shit out of him.”

Same old, same old. Basic Lisa Marie Rice Formula: Hot, sexy, alpha Hero. Smart, beautiful Damsel in Distress Heroine. I love me a good formula book especially when I just want to check out for a few hours and not use much brain power, but still want to be entertained. Throw in a plot that screams ripped from the headlines and you have pure escapism. The forte of a Lisa Marie Rice book is always the romance and that is the case here, but what often gets overlooked are her awesome plots. This book was published in 2017 years before COVID but Rice nailed it.

Nick Mancino, former SEAL, former FBI Hostage Rescue Team member and now a member of the elite ASI security team. He met Kay Hudson while on an FBI assignment and has been trying, unsuccessfully, to hook up with her ever since. He has a strong suspicion she is avoiding him.

Dr. Kay Hudson is a virologist at the CDC. She loves her job, but her best friend was recently killed in an auto accident and another scientist was murdered in a mugging. Her friend left her with information pointing to some nasty doings and left her a mission to complete to complete.

Nick is overjoyed when Kay contacts him to have dinner. Kay figures if she has to disappear, she is going to give herself a night with the hottest man she has ever known. The next morning Kay is in the middle of a murder and on the run for her life. Kay at least called Nick to bail her out and the whole AIS team is their backup. Bioweapons that can target an individual is what Kay is up against. Finding the baddies - that's Nick's job.

It's so nice to read a new Lisa's book. So nice that I read it in one go. It's also nice to see her style is the same, that her characters are really great, that the suspense is well done, that we believe in the HEA, that we see again all of the ex Men of Midnight heroes. In fact, everything is the book makes it a to-read one.

I love a good Lisa Marie Rice hero.

Nick is definitely that. Hot, sexy, and protective, just what I expect and want. Honorable and ready to give his all to protect his team and his woman.

Kay was a good heroine, totally into her man, but driven to do what was right before she let herself enjoy him.

The bad guys were not over the top, just really bad guys doing bad things. I loved the way Kay delivered some justice.

I love the ASI men and women. It is always great to see them all again and catch up on their lives.

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The fifth book in the Men of Midnight series by Lisa Marie Rice. Kay Hudson and Nick Mancino were introduced in a previous book in the series. Kay has been dodging Nick for a while but suddenly she arranges to meet him and they end up together for the night. But the next day Kay leaves to meet someone and he ends up dead. Who else can she call but Nick?

Not my favorite of the series but I did like it. It stands well on its own but I do recommend reading the whole series to get to know the characters. Another highly recommended series for Romantic Suspense with some spice fans!

This was a little slow to grab my attention, but I knew once it did that I would rush through to the end. And I did. I like the author's writing style, it doesn't vary much. But you know what you will get and it works for me. The suspense aspect of this story was scary on a 'can you imagine if this really happened?!' kind of way. I did enjoy the ending though!

Lo lamento pero no he conseguido empatizar con la historia ni con los personajes principales. Al principio prometía, pero me ha resultado muy repetitivo hasta llegar a parecerme cansino que repita constantemente tanto el perfil de los personajes como contar una y otra la vez lo mismo de los personajes secundarios, y tengo que reconocer que del último tercio del libro solo he leído los diálogos y la escena del desenlace del suspense.

Nick Mancino was tired of going after Kay Hudson, the beautiful scientist, Al Goodkind's granddaughter. But when she invites him for a dinner at a hotel in Portland, he does not miss the chance to meet her again, and maybe end up the night in bed.
This was exactly Kay's plan. But that to her would be like a farewell because the next day she would do something very dangerous, and would have to disappear forever.

The first part of the plan of both works out and the night of their love is on fire.
But Kay's next plan goes awry when the person she's supposed to meet ends up murdered before her eyes. Pursued by a drone with a murder weapon, Kay sees no alternative but to ask for Nick's help.

Kay was also friends with Felicity, Metal's wife, who also worked at ASI, and from there, the whole team went to work for Kay's safety.
But much more was involved.
That new biological weapon could kill millions of people. All in silence.
John "Midnight" and his team would need to find out who the killer was. Nick, for his part, wanted to be sure that Kay would never be afraid that way, and for that, he would go to hell after the guilty.

Great pace. Characters more than already known (and it is great to review them and to know of some private news of them).
I think the character of the next book has been introduced here - and if it's really him, his life story is about to break your heart.

The Sixth installment in Men of Midnight Series is a real thriller!!! Dr Kay Hudson of the C.D.C. who we first met in "Midnight Promises" has discovered that there is something bad going down in the world of bio weapons after her best friend is murdered and sends her all that she she knows on an encrypted flash drive arriving after her death. But after a hot night of passion with Nick Mancino she slips away to pass on the info to an investigative reporter who breaks story's bringing big companies to justice. But things go horribly wrong. Now she finds herself running for her life with only Nick standing between her and certain death! This was a very enjoyable read with plenty of action and passion. I love Lisa Marie Rice's strong smart women and stronger protective hero's! She never disappoints!

This is my favorite author and I have read all of her books. Unfortunately, I am noticing a serious decline in the quality of her stories. First, there was little chemistry between the H and h. The H was more sweet than alpha. The whole secret advanced state-of-the-art compound was too OTT. I also found the ending to be rushed with the villain being one-dimensional. Felicity was also in this story and I really don't like her character. There are some great characters from the past Midnight series that should be featured more instead of annoying Felicity. There were too many mentions of how employees are paid a lot at AIS and how tough the men are. I wish this author would write more stories like the first 3 Midnight books. The H was a stalkerific cavemen, the sex was hot, and the story was suspenseful.

Do you know when you're reading a book and a secondary couple calls you so much attention that you start to cheer for the next book in the series to be theirs ?! This is me with Nick and Kay ... and wow... as it was worth waiting for, the story is electrifying.
Nick has done everything possible to find Kay again, but it seems like she's having the same commitment to avoiding him.
He has just moved to Portland after finally agreeing to work at ASI with Midnight and Senior when she invites him to dinner, taking advantage of her being in town for a conference. Nick will not let this opportunity slip away, but when he wakes up alone after a memorable night, he wonders if he's got it all wrong ... then his cell phone rings and it's Kay asking for "Help!"
One of Kay's best friends was murdered, Kay is sure of that, and when Kay tries to fulfill her friend's last request she sees a man being killed mysteriously in front of her. Desperate, she can only think of one thing: Call Nick for Help.
Nick and Kay team up to stop a monster, and will have the support of all ASI and Bud Morrison.
Now I'm crazy about the story of former Lieutenant Matt Walker.


A autora me proporcionou uma ARC, em troca de um comentário honesto.

Sabe quando você está lendo um livro e um casal secundário te chama tanto a atenção que você começa a torcer para o próximo livro da série ser o deles?! Está sou eu com o Nick e a Kay... e puxa... como valeu a pena esperar, a história é eletrizante.
Nick tem feito todo o possível para voltar a encontrar a Kay, mas parece que ela está tendo o mesmo empenho em evita-lo.
Ele acabou de se mudar para Portland, após finalmente aceitar trabalhar na ASI com Midnight e Sênior, quando ela o convida para jantar, aproveitando que estará na cidade para uma conferência. Nick não vai deixar esta oportunidade escapar, mas quando ele acorda sozinho depois de uma noite memorável, ele se pergunta se entendeu tudo errado... então seu celular toca e é Kay pedindo “Socorro!”
Uma das melhores amigas de Kay foi assassinada, Kay tem certeza disso, e quando Kay tenta cumprir o último pedido da amiga vê um homem ser morto misteriosamente na sua frente. Desesperada, ela só consegue pensar em uma coisa: Ligar para Nick pedindo Socorro.
Nick e Kay se unem para deter um monstro, e vão contar com o apoio de todos da ASI e do Bud Morrison.
Agora estou doída pela história do Ex-tenente Matt Walker. Midnight Fever by Lisa Marie Rice

Pin the Tail on the Romance time! My TBR list is at 438 of 1474 books, so I spun the magic random number generator app to get book #1182: Midnight Fever by Lisa Marie Rice

Why Was This In My TBR:This was the last Lisa Marie Rice that I one-clicked and then it got swallowed by the TBR quicksand

Is It Part of A Series: Men of Midnight (5)

Rating: This was quintessential Lisa Marie Rice with a total uber-alpha hero, an absolutely perfect woman who is so beautiful, smart, and caring that she's practically a Disney character, and a crazysauce suspense element involving biochemical warfare, as you do. The problem is that I didn't get anything new from this LMR outing. Nick and Kay followed the same standard LMR pattern - the hero pants and the heroine heaves as they circle each other in a haze of respectful sexual chemistry, then they have off-the-charts sex, followed by inexplicable danger, and then everyone is saved by the All-Alpha ASI squad. There is a comfort to this author's over-the-top mutual lust fiesta, but still, it is jarring when they then exchange ILYs after exchanging fluids but not a whole lot of conversation. I think I miss the bonkers craziness of her earlier heroes like John from Midnight Man and Bud from Midnight Run; both of whom make a cameo appearance.

The couple: Nick and Kay

Romance trope: Romantic suspense
Series: Men of Midnight
Length: 316 pages

Plot: Nick has a big ol' crush on scientist Kay but she's been keeping him at arm's length in an attempt to keep him safe. She has secret knowledge that could get her killed and she intends to hand that knowledge off to a journalist and disappear. But nothing goes according to plan and she'll need Nick and his friends to save her life and the life of potentially everyone else in the world.

Commentary: Those drones are super scary and I'm worried that they are not just theoretical. Beyond that, I liked the way Nick loved Kay and didn't fuss too much about her running away. He didn't like it but he tried really hard to understand. Good suspense. The only thing is that if you haven't read the other books in the series (which I hadn't - I got this one in an anthology), there are a lot of other people in the book and you won't know any of their stories, which are mentioned in passing.
The anthology that I read this in was all romantic suspense and I've noticed a trend of the women being super smart scientists/computer programmers and the guys...being okay with it. There's no posturing or recriminations. Each person does what they're good at and helps the other person anyb way they can, and it works. That's a departure (to a degree) from societal expectations and certainly from romance novels of the past.

Author is confused about the time passed between the books. We are told Lauren has a baby now and Felicity is pregnant, it is mentioned in this book that H is after the h since 2 months after they met for the first time; where as the first meeting was in the second book and second book follows first one immediately where Jacko and Lauren meet. In 2 months everyone seems to be quiet settled. Even Jack has 2 daughters now, instead of one (she's mentioned in Isbel's story in Midnight secrets book #3).

Soter Sara - per RFS
.
“A volte la vita ti dava consigli gratuiti. A volte la vita ti dava un pugno nella schiena per costringerti ad andare avanti. E questa era una di quelle volte.”
Nick Mancino è un uomo che sa quello che vuole e da quando hanno condiviso un bollente bacio, ha capito che Kay Hudson è la donna fatta apposta per lui. Peccato che la bella dottoressa sembra continuare a sfuggirgli, ma si sa che l’inseguimento fa parte della caccia….. Dal canto suo Kay è rimasta folgorata dal sexy ex Seal, ma ha una missione da compiere, una missione lasciata in testamento dalla sua migliore amica, che potrebbe rivelarsi potenzialmente mortale e rovinare la carriera non solo sua, ma anche dell’uomo che infesta i suoi bollenti sogni e che sembra ben determinato ad inseguirla in ogni dove! Inutile dire che ben presto, la situazione precipiterà e solo il team dell’ASI, insieme a Nick potranno salvare Kay e il mondo, da una nuova minaccia… Questo capitolo della serie è forse il più “futuristico” tra tutti; non abbiamo infatti i soliti rapimenti, bombe e sparatorie (sebbene non manchino del tutto ovviamente), ma droni super tecnologici programmati per uccidere a distanza, rifugi antiatomici provenienti dal futuro e armi biochimiche in grado di scatenare pandemie, uccidendo nel più terribile dei modi, senza mai materialmente sporcarsi le mani. In questo scenario, il rapporto bollente e di reciproca protezione che nasce tra Nick e Kay, si tinge di una sfumatura di complicità, che ben poche coppie di questa serie possono vantare. Così, mentre il nostro sexy soldato si occupa di tenere al sicuro fisicamente la sua donna, abbattendo occasionalmente droni e cecchini, la dottoressa Kay, cerca il colpevole tra complessi codici, formule chimiche e ricerche sul DNA ricombinato. Nick è il classico maschio super alpha della Rice, passionale, protettivo e determinato, ma abbastanza intelligente da fare un passo indietro quando serve, per affiancare la sua donna nella ricerca della vendetta tanto agognata. Dal canto suo Kay, si trova improvvisamente senza il lavoro dei suoi sogni, che nel frattempo si sono trasformati in incubi. Si vede così catapultata nel mondo dell’ASI, fatto di morti e sparatorie, ma anche di uomini e donne capaci, intelligenti, protettivi, una grande famiglia allargata (che si sta allargando sempre più aggiungerei!) in cui ancora una volta spicca il personaggio di Felicity, che indubbiamente è la risorsa più importante e l’unico personaggio femminile effettivamente “operativo” (non a caso viene definita da Nick stesso “la loro dea”!). Oltre a tutti i vecchi personaggi e alle coppie che abbiamo visto formarsi, viene introdotto anche un nuovo personaggio, il silenzioso e onorevole ex Seal Matt, che sarà il prossimo protagonista della serie e che mi intriga moltissimo…merita decisamente il suo lieto fine! Attendo fiduciosa il prossimo (e per ora ultimo) volume della serie!

La doctora Kay Hudson trabaja en el CDC y ha descubierto algo horrible, un tema de virus por el que ya ha muerto gente en circunstancias sospechosas. Asume que, en cuanto lo diga, su carrera habrá terminado y tendrá que desaparecer. Antes de hacer mutis por el foro, quiere darse una alegría al cuerpo: compartir cena y postre apasionado con Nick Mancino, ex Navy SEAL, ex FBI y ahora en el sector privado. Las cosas se complican y Nick tendrá que protegerla antes de que Kay sea otra víctima de esta conspiración. Aunque me entretuvo, con su poquito de acción y sus sexy times, me quedé con la impresión de que debe tener cosas mejores.

Did anyone else think this was weird? (SPOILERS:)
1. Kay's face got sprayed with an instantly deadly virus and she deducted that she must be immune to survive.
2. That same day she lets her boyfriend hug her, and kiss her on the mouth, cheek and forehead.

She didn't even wash her face first! And she had no way of knowing if he was also immune. I think I got herpes just from reading that.

Other than the start, a romantic dinner followed by a fun evening full of sexcapades, I felt like the rest of the book was one big action movie, one where our characters were constantly on the run. Kay, Nick and the ASI guys had a lot to figure out, but I loved that it was Kay and Felicity that actually took down the head bad guy, loved how Kay managed to turn things around on on them.

I find I'm intrigued by the new ASI guy, Matt. I liked what he did, hate what the consequences were for him, but he will fit in great with ASI.

DNF.

Too much of a helpless/damsel-in-distressy h for me
Too much narrative in between dialogues
Too large a cast...maybe its series bait
The author kept emphasizing H wasn't a jerk with women ( maybe a reaction to the backlash for LMR's douche H in previous book of series) but still the mention of his sexual track record - previous "bed partners' were one too many for me. And I only went through the first 2/3 chapters:/

Also per usual h's past experience ( only one episode mentioned so far) was pathetic while H was obviously a god in bed...too double standardy...
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I really liked the plot. It was interesting and fast paced and I guess the romance was fine too. I feel like I'm disliking Lisa Marie Rice's repetitive writing regarding the romantic aspects, but the story and characters are still good.

Review Copy from the Author

Midnight Fever by Lisa Marie Rice is the 6th volume in the Men of Midnight series (and 10th when adding the original Midnight series)
LMR is an author I absolutely love, and true to her habit, she goes on publishing one novel per year. The previous volume, Midnight Quest, was published in April 2016. We find again all the ingredients of a super Lisa Marie Rice’s book, and the fans will be delighted by this reading.

Nick Mancino is part of Alpha Security International society, created by John Huntington (Midnight Man) and Douglas Kowalski (Midnight Angel). He has an important secondary role in Midnight Fire (my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ). Our heroine, Kay Hudson, works for the famous CDC as a researcher. I don’t recall having already met her. In any case, it’s one of Felicity Ward’s best friends (Midnight Promises, review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ).
Nick and Kay have already known each other for several months when Midnight Fever begins. This volume starts with Nick and Kay’s reunion after a few months. In fact, Kay was avoiding Nick for reasons we discover fast but I won’t tell here because even if we have a glimpse of everything that’s happening, we have the whys and the wherefores as we go along. Of course the hero will know what’s happening and do everything to protect her.

Midnight Fever is a great reading: I find again everything I love about Lisa Marie Rice. An intelligent heroine, kind, determined, and not TSTL at all. A super protective hero, super alpha, super possessive. LOL. All the Midnight gang who helps and intervenes. And a new character who will probably have his own story.
We also have some appreciable humor.

On the suspense side, the reader knows quickly who is the real bad guy but not the heroes. A lot of action punctuates the story, and quite technical terms as well (but well explained and within readers’ grasp) showing Lisa knows her subject. A surprise too following the discovery of a facility that made me think hugely to the Ghost Ops series. But I let you discover what I’m talking about LOL.

On the romance side, we have an immediate attraction, intense love scenes, a wonderful HEA. In short, once again, everything making us love LMR.

To conclude: a very, very good opus by Lisa that I recommend.

This is the 5th full book in the series.

This one follows on from the last book in time. Our hero and heroine we’ve met before in book 2. From book 2, we’ve had our hero help the group out multiple times since then.

Our heroine’s best friend had been killed and has passed onto our heroine the intel and has asked her to give it to another contact. Although scared, she knows it’s important to both the government, the public and is the right thing to do, so she goes to act. Before that, she decides to finally have her date with the hero who’s been pursuing her. She leaves the next morning….

She meets with the contact and he is killed right before eyes and she runs. Then calls the only person she knows she can trust and to help her - the hero.

The hero has finally tracked down the heroine, took her on a date - finally - and they ended up in bed all night long until the heroine slips out. He gets up and discovers she ran out on him. Only to have his phone ring in his hand and it’s her…and she’s in trouble.

They go on the run with the help from our group which the hero is now working for. It seems like each time they find a spot to regroup, the bad guys seem to find them. However, with help from the groups IT tech, the data is slowly being accessed and the puzzle put together in among the bad guys.

We get introduced to more new people in the group to add to it.

When the hero goes to get one of the bad guys, the heroine splits up with him and meets up with the groups IT tech and between them they finish putting the puzzle together and put their own mission into the works.

Will they get all the bad guys? Will they find away to be together? Or will it go all wrong?

Great book. It took me a bit to get into it due to commitments, but I was able to finish in one big gulp. I loved how they put the IT tech’s (previous heroine) life into mingled with this… it gave you a bit of pressure off during the story. It also angled the couple for the future as well. Overall great book.

Nick Mancino has been dreaming about Dr. Kay Hudson since their last meeting when he saved her grandfather. Kay seemed to be pushing him away, but when he finally catches up with her their night is totally mind blowing. Little does he know that within a short time he will find himself caught up in deadly danger with Kay in the center. There is no way danger will get to her unless it goes through him.

Midnight Fever is an action packed read. Sometimes when a series continues the writing seems forced as if it is a chore and no longer a desire for the author. This is not the case for author Lisa Marie Rice and her Men of Midnight series. Each one has the same intriguing feel and the men of Midnight are tough, strong, able men who turn to mush when it comes to their women. Which is something that I enjoy reading. This one centers on Nick and Kay and ... wow ... do they have a story. I thought it a nice twist that the reason Kay was pushing Nick away was to protect him ... he was F.B.I. at the time and she already knew something was wrong with where she worked and was going to become a whistleblower and did not want to ruin his career in the process. That was an ahhh moment for the readers and for Nick himself.

I have to admit that some of the scientific chatter slowed the book down for me but there was enough gun action and steamy action to speed it right back up. I also enjoy the returning of the other members of the team, their wives and growing families, and watching them all work together to end the most recent danger to the world. I can't wait to get my hands on the next offering by Ms. Rice as there were a few items in this book that lacked a definitive conclusion, so I am hoping the next will offer more information.

If you want high octane action, sweet and steamy romance, with a team of people saving the world from evil then Midnight Fever will fit the bill perfectly.
