Dr. Emily Drake is known as the Monster Doctor in her
Atlanta community because of her ability to see the Other
who live among us. Vampires, shifters, demons, charmers,
Emily can see them all—regardless of whether they want her
to. When bodies start turning up with their throats ripped
out and animal hairs present, a police officer named Colin
Gyth asks Emily to serve as their profiler. Always eager to
help out, Emily agrees, but not without some hesitation. She
can tell that Colin is Other, and knows that she's a
shifter, but she isn't sure what kind and shifters are
notoriously dangerous and volatile. Determined to keep her
distance, Emily works with Colin on the investigation, but
vows to keep her heart guarded in the interim period. A task
that is easier said than done.
HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT is a great new paranormal romance
that's both amusing and suspenseful. It's part romantic
suspense and part urban fantasy. Emily Drake is an
interesting heroine. She's an empath and has a connection to
the Other who live around her, but she uses her powers to
help them to fit in and find acceptance rather than outing
them to paranoid humans who would do them harm. And she's
been burned by her gift in the past, which makes her so
hesitant to hook up with Colin. And Colin is my favorite
kind of hero, all alpha male and possessive nature, he is
willing to do anything to protect what is his—namely Emily.
This book was a nice change from paranormals that either
have so many different things going on that you're not sure
where the fantasy ends, and romantic suspense that's so gory
and gruesome that you want to put it down. HOTTER AFTER
MIDNIGHT toes that line brilliantly, while providing an
entertaining and passionate romance to boot. I look forward
to reading more of Cynthia Eden's books after enjoying this
one so thoroughly.
Dr. Emily Drake’s patients tend to be a little unusual.
Instead of the typical therapist’s caseload of midlife
crises and mother fixations, Emily treats vampires with
blood phobias and sex-demons looking for meaningful
relationships. But her gift for recognizing and healing the
Other—those creatures of the night that most humans don’t
even know exist—requires a few house rules. First: Never
trust a shifter. Especially not one like Detective Colin
Gyth, whose gold-flecked eyes and predatory air make Emily
realize how much she’s been longing to lose control…
Colin can’t believe the doctor he’s been assigned to work
with on the Night Butcher murder investigation is the one
person who could expose his true identity as a wolf
shifter. Smart, sexy, and stubborn as hell, Emily brings
out the alpha male in Colin, unleashing a wild, heady
desire that takes them both over the edge.
But in the shadows, the Night Butcher waits…eager to spill
Emily’s blood and taste her terror. And he’ll use any means
to destroy her, including the one person she has grown to
trust…
