The man Summer Redding had blindingly loved back in college had died in the horrible Washington Massacre along with his whole family. She had grieved the loss of the golden boy until she looks into the eyes of a homeless man and realizes that no one but Jack Delvaux has eyes like MIDNIGHT FIRE. Jack is alive!

Jack is no longer the carefree, foolish, unthinking man of his youth. As a fifteen year veteran of the CIA, he is hardened, and now with his family -- except for his sister Isabel -- dead, he is nearly soulless. The only thing keeping him going is the truth his family's death was not by the terrorists everyone believes. Now, Summer has returned to his life and it has put hers in danger. They will have to work together to get the truth out, avenge his family, and survive. On top of that he must make her see he is no longer a callous young fool but a man who knows what he wants -- and what he wants is a life with Summer.

MIDNIGHT FIRE is a non-stop, action-packed, don't-you-dare-put-me-down book. This one picks up where author Lisa Marie Rice's MIDNIGHT SECRETS ends. His sister Isabel is safe and in the protective hands of the Alpha Security International (ASI) so Jack is ready to go back and dig up the truth. Then suddenly Summer comes crashing back into his world. I liked both of these people and understood Jack's need for the truth, and as I read I wondered how Summer had managed to become the level-headed woman she is. Her parents were self-centered druggies who dragged her around the world then forgot she existed. I loved the fact that we got another look at Isabel and the ASI guys and gals as they helped Jack and Summer solve the massacre and stop the bad guys. If I had one complaint it would be that everything was wrapped up too abruptly. We've been waiting for the massacre to be solved but not quite in this "okay, it is done" way. Aside from that I was thrilled with this offering. It has action, romance, steamy moments, recurring characters, and good guys beating out the bad guys. Who could ask for more? Well, except for maybe a few more romantic suspense reads from this amazing author.
