Hate sex has never been more sexier than in Elle
Kennedy's MIDNIGHT ACTION. Book five in the Killer
Instincts series, Kennedy pits sexy assassin Noelle
Phillips against her archenemy Ex-army ranger Jim Morgan.
The two share a past that complicates their relationship
and since then they haven't been able to forgive each
other.
When Noelle is hired by a middleman to take Jim out, she
hops right back to him, dangling the piece of information
over his head. Jim knows he is in trouble, but it doesn't
seem to compare to the burning desire he has Noelle. Both
characters are very strong and alpha and when I say they
are not very pleasant to each other, that is an
understatement. However, their sex is so off the charts
hot that I was surprised the book didn't combust in my
hands.
Kennedy tells their story by showing their past in one
chapter and showing them later in the present in the
next. While it gives readers the background we need to
appreciate the book, I also thought it tiring after
awhile. Every advancement made in the past is then taken
back with events in the present. I found that it disrupts
the pacing a little bit. Also, Noelle's abuse is
showcased in the beginning but is never really addressed
in the end. It gets overlooked and I don't think that's
ever a good thing when something that serious occurs.
As I mentioned earlier, the sex is mindblowingly hot, but
Kennedy also has a distinct writing style that I've come
to enjoy while reading her books. That's what keeps me
coming back for more. If you're looking for something to
heat up the nights, MIDNIGHT ACTION will get your heart
racing for sure.
She’s got a broken heart... and a fully loaded arsenal....
Ex–army ranger Jim Morgan leads a team of elite
mercenaries,
but eighteen years ago in Paris, he was part of a black
ops
unit whose mission was to hunt down a rogue operative. In
order to trap the criminal, Jim seduced Noelle, the man’s
daughter—a ruthless act that cost him the love of his life
and turned her into a mortal enemy. Now he can’t trust
her,
but he still desires her. He also needs her help....
Older, wiser, and unwilling to play the fool again, Noelle
runs a group of highly skilled assassins. And she’s just
been offered the hit of the century: Eliminate Jim Morgan.
History gives them no reason to trust each other, but with
their lives in jeopardy at the hands of a common enemy,
the
lines between love and hate are soon blurred. Now Noelle
and
Jim must face the past if they want to have a future—let
alone a future together.
