Fiction. Mystery. Romance. Suspense. HTML:The Midnight Man

It's been years since bad boy Simon Riley hopped a freight train out of town and Ellen Kent's given up wondering what happened to him. Running a successful bed and breakfast in Oregon doesn't leave her a lot of time for fantasizing about midnight kisses and secret passion. . .until an unexpected visitor knocks on her door. Simon is back. She had no idea that he was a famous photojournalist, working in war zones around the world. But the man is everything she wants in a lover--and more. . .

The Midnight Hour

Dogged by trouble, Simon swore he'd never return to this backwater town, even to see El Kent. But he had to investigate his uncle's sudden death--and El's lush beauty still tempts him beyond belief. He knows he can satisfy her most hidden desire--and he's hungry for the sensual tenderness that only she can give.

The last thing Simon would ever do is hurt El, but someone is forcing his hand. Someone who will stop at nothing to keep the past dead and buried--even if means silencing the woman Simon loves. . .

With nary a McCloud in sight, this one is getting rated on its own merits.

The story was fine, with the usual overbearing, possessive alpha dude-bro and the sexually unawakened, sweet, shy, secretly-a-firecracker lady, plus a whiff of paranormal stuff. But it lacked the sheer, over-the-top WTF aspect of the McClouds series that makes up for the fact that the dude is basically steam-rolling over the lady's protests, sexual and otherwise, and the lady is a waffle who is also a doormat. And despite being ostensibly a suspense novel, the suspense aspect is super under-developed and has a villain who is just another example of "crazy dudes be crazy". And a throw-away secondary romance.

And I am really over "girl lube" as a descriptor. It makes my skin crawl. ( )

I am pretty easy on erotic romance books. These are my escape, and as long as I find myself transported I am willing to overlook many things. This book was bad in so many ways that even I, with my low expectations, found little to like. I will list my 5 biggest issues.

1. The lead characters were terrible. Simon is an asshole of the highest order, and El is boring, weak, without pride, a terrible business person, and has no desire to know anything other than how to make good pies and please her man. I love baked goods and sex, but that alone does not make me a person worth learning about.

2. The sex was good. The characters were awful. Is there anything less the stuff of fantasy than people you don't like having great sex?

3. There seemed to be a message that empowered woman must flaunt their sexuality in the most obvious ways, and that women who don't walk around in corsets and Daisy Dukes are shriveled souls who are ignoring their inner strength. Yuck.

4. The language used during sexy times is really off-putting. I won't provide a lot of detail, but I will leave you with the two phrases that most squicked me out "girl juice" and "dick drool." 'Nuff said.

5. The secondary characters are laughable. Mousy employee, BMOC who is a victim of his own act, defensive trailer park slut, deranged psychopathic pyromaniac, low-IQ evil henchmen, tight-ass rich lady political wife, corrupt sheriff. All these tropes and more. Yawn.

You don't want to read this, trust me. ( )
