Book Reviews of Walking After Midnight
Book Review: Great romanitc suspense
Summary: 4 Stars
Karen Robards always manages to keep me on the edge of my seat with mystery, fast paced action and a fullfilling love story tucked underneath with some intense love scenes. I love her books and can't wait to get ahold of some more. Each story of her's that I have read (this is only my 3rd) are very unique. I love the storylines! Summer McAfee is an ex lingeree model who is divorced and trying to make it on her own. She has a cleaning company that she has built from the ground up. Taking over the cleaning at a motrurary one night when her staff doesn't show up, she is a little creeped out at being in a building filled with dead bodies and is extremely jumpy. Going into the back room to shut a light off that was left on she sees a naked male body on the table that she could swear wasn't there before and to make matters worse she sees the naked body move it's leg. Slowly walking over to the body, she reaches out to feel it's pulse thinking she is really crazy, the body suddenly springs to life and grabs her hand. That naked body is none other than Steve Calhoun who has been beaten almost beyond recognition and left for dead in the morturary by thugs who were in the process of creamating him to keep him quiet. He has a notorious reputation from a deadly love triangle that was splashed all over the news three years before. Not sure if Summer is friend or foe and thinking she is foe, he takes her hostage as he makes his escape. What follows is a run for their lifes as they flee the goons who tried to kill him and now also want to kill Summer thinking she is envolved with Steve. Summer refers to him as Frankenstein being he is grotesquely black and blue. I really liked this book. We don't see sparks at first, it slowly builds up to something more as they are pushed into situation after situation of trying to survive. The bantering was hilarious and it was heartwarming to watch Summers feelings grow for Steve as we see the real man in him come out and we hear about each of their life stories. To add another quirk to the story is the ghost of Dedee, Steve's ex dead lover as she is brought back from the spirit world to help right a wrong. The sexual chemistry between Steve and Summer smokes up the pages and I loved watching these two find their way to eachother. The mystery and suspense in this book is amazing and is fast paced. I had a hard time putting this book down and wasn't sure about Steve through the first few chapters, but found myself pulling for him towards the end. Great read, for anyone who likes romantic suspense needs to read this book and any other of Karen Robards
Summary of Walking After Midnight
The nude male body lay on the embalming table, battered beyond recognition. Gingerly, Summer McAfee, chairman, CEO, and sole employee of Daisy Fresh cleaning service, reached out to touch an arm to reassure herself that she hadn't just seen the corpse move. Suddenly, shockingly, her hand was in the viselike grip of a man very much alive and desperate enough to take her captive on a no-holds-barred run from cops, killers, and his own decidedly complicated past...Summer's former life as a New York lingerie model had gone south with her marriage, leaving her, at thirty-six, single and back home in Tennessee, on her hands and knees scrubbing other people's bathrooms. But the drab present vanishes in a flash as she's forced to flee into the Tennessee wilds with the stranger she calls Frankenstein, first as his captive, then his companion, as they run from the enemies determined to destroy them both--straight into a raging passion that could only be the last laugh of fate...
