interesting. I enjoyed this book right from the beginning. lots of sex to turn you on every night. if you are looking for lots of sex, this book is it. ( )

The hero, a cop who's world has just been shaken after finding out about the existence of paranormal creatures, his partner included in them, is trying to solve the murders of 3 men. His search leads him to the heroine. She's absolutely stunning and he's irresistibility drawn to her. This is in part because they have mad chemistry, but also because he's a succubus. The heroine has never relished in what she was and makes every attempt to suppress her pheromones and refrain from sexual acts. Meeting the human detective changes all of that. His psychic abilities protect him from her mind control powers so she's extremely tempted to explore the possibility of having a natural affair with a man. Once he rules her out as a suspect, he immediately sets his sights on her. He visits her at the club she sings at and the heroine finds herself sneaking into his dreams at night. She loses the fight to stay celibate and they begin an intense and passionate love affair. That is, however, until she tells him what she is. He's at first angry about her secrets and hurt about her lies but he's really more angry of the fact that she's now become the main suspect in the investigation again. Certainly throughout all the information she gives in, he's more pissed about the danger it puts her in then the fact that she's withheld something from him. The hero was extremely aggressive and even more possessive but every time he yelled or snarled, it was out of fear for her safety. That being said I did find it be a bit extreme considering he was human. I couldn't help but think if his character was placed in any other setting than a paranormal romance, he would be viewed as the crazy stalker than the hero. I did like the heroine. She wasn't overtly sexual despite the fact that she was a sex demon and though she's afraid and scared, she's able and willing to defend herself. ( )

I loved the first book, but this one was slightly disappointing. Just not feeling this series or the characters. ( )

I have to say, after reading the first in this series. I wasn't expecting to like Midnight Sins so much, but this book was different for me for a few reasons: a] there seemed to be much more focus on the starring couple in the story and their romance, b] that romance was leaping off the page, and c] the hero in this case, Todd Brooks, was a very strong, passionate character who never leaves us in doubt that he cares for the heroine (a departure from many novels today). I think the author intended the hero in the first book to be a passionate character as well (he is a shifter after all), but I actually felt more convinced here with the hero's very alpha (delicious) personality. I also liked Cara, who's a strong woman without being stubborn or brick-stupid. When someone wounds her, she's the kind to get up, shake it off, and hunt that mofo down and do it without getting caught. She's as powerful as I would expect a succubus to be, and she's not shy about using her powers. I also really liked the secondary romance plot in the novel, and I liked learning more about the all the other characters. I'm looking forward to reading Niol's book next, and here's hoping that one's as, hm, spicy as this one, LOL. ;) ( )
