Book Blurb:
Jack
Delvaux is alive
Summer
Redding thought the blindingly handsome jock who'd loved and left her years ago
had died in the Washington Massacre. She grieved for her lost golden boy as the
rest of the country mourned their dead—until she comes home to find a very alive
Jack Delvaux waiting for her with a devastating secret that turns her life
upside down.
No
longer the carefree man he was in his youth, this Jack is dark, hard and
dangerous; a fifteen-year veteran of the CIA hungry for answers…and hungry for
her. The rich, good-looking charmer who broke her heart once before would have
been easy to resist, but this man, this powerful man? Summer needs him, and he
knows it.
When
Jack's mission uncovers evidence of government involvement in the Massacre—and
plans for another attack—he's primed for revenge. But he has more than vengeance
to live for now, and when Summer's life is threatened, it's nearly Jack's
undoing. Someone taking shots at his woman? That's a dead man walking.
My
Review:
In
Midnight Fire by Lisa Marie Rice, I was quickly submersed into a world of
intrigue, political corruption, and an unexpected second chance.
This
series is superb, and Midnight Fire is no exception. Midnight Fire easily picks
up a plot thread from the conclusion of Midnight Secrets, and takes us into
Jacks' world. Jack is supposed to be dead, but when Summer recognizes him and
finds out his story, she is drawn into an evil side of the world right along
with him. Summer and Jack have an old history together, but it's one Summer has
never forgotten. It took her a long time to get over Jack, and she is
determined not to be drawn to him again. Soon they are racing against time
together to stop a plot that will destroy everything they know... And as this
is happening, Summer is seeing the man Jack is now, not the young man he was all
those years ago. Things start to heat up quickly when not only do they
recognize the feelings they both have, but suddenly they both find themselves in
imminent danger. Jack will do whatever he can to not only stop the terror, but
to protect Summer. Will they be able to? Will they get that second chance?
Jack
and Summer are a powerful hero and heroine, and they make Midnight Fire an
exciting read. Summer and Jack have a past together, and they are brought
together again in Midnight Fire. I liked the maturity of both of them and how
they dealt with things, from their relationship to the events taking place in
Midnight Fire. They are a realistic couple, and the big bumps in the road of
their relationship are realistic after what they had in the past. I liked
seeing Jack today, and reading about the changes in him through Summer's eyes.
He is edgy, a bit dark, intense, and a man on a mission! Summer is just as
determined as Jack to do right, and the adventure the two of them are on is
heart stopping. I felt like Summer and Jack could be a good couple, they seemed
to balance each other well - the chemistry and feelings are definitely there!
I
liked the dual POV's that Lisa Marie writes with in Midnight Fire, this gives a
well rounded perspective of what is happening through out Midnight Fire.
Midnight Fire is very suspenseful. I didn't have a clue about the enormity of
the plot or what could potentially happen right away, and this created a
fantastic build up, amping up the anticipation of what's to come. It is the
type of plot that you don't see coming and there is the feeling that something
like this could really happening, so the little niggle of fear sure gets the
heart pumping! I liked how Lisa Marie created a strong suspenseful plot along
side a strong second chance romance. It is a good blend, especially with these
characters.
Summer
and Jack are definitely the main characters in this book. You will see
characters occasionally from other books in the Men of Midnight series, and I
would recommend reading at least Midnight Secrets (#3) prior to Midnight Fire
since we meet Jack's sister and see some of Jack in Midnight Fire.
Very
well paced with a captivating plot, I'd recommend Midnight Fire to any romantic
suspense reader.
