Veena’s review of Midnight Promises (Midnight Series, Book 4) by Lisa Marie Rice
Romantic Suspense published by Carina Press 19 Jan 15
I have been a long-time fan of Lisa Marie Rice, but the Midnight series snuck under my radar screen until the previous book popped up and that definitely caught my attention. This one just continues to build on the promise by delivering a well-written, fast-paced action adventure with the requisite romantic bells and whistles.
Felicity Ward is a computer hacker extraordinaire and on the side she helps women who need to escape by building them an online history. She helped Lauren, our previous heroine, escape from the clutches of a crazy mobster, making friends with her in the process. Her visit out of her hidey-hole is very fortuitous in that it gets her a step ahead of a violent Russian mobster and allows her to use her ingenuity to escape from a trap they’ve set for her at her destination.
Severely injured, she shows up at Lauren’s house and right into the arms of “Metal” O Brien, who, with his medical training, tends to her and gets her the medical attention she needs. Of course, between him and Jacko, Lauren’s significant other, they bring the entire team to bear in protecting Felicity and identifying who’s gunning for her.
I find the entire back story quite interesting and definitely plausible. Along the way, as the guys work toward identifying and neutralizing the threat against Felicity, it is good to visit with the characters from the previous books, though we do not get enough face time with the women.
Grade: B
Summary:
In their race for the truth, love must prove more powerful than America’s worst enemy…
When a gorgeous, bleeding woman on the run falls into the arms of Sean “Metal” O’Brien, the former SEAL medic knows just what he can do. Heal her. Tend to her. Keep her safe.
What he can’t seem to do is keep his guard up. Something about the haunted, hunted beauty knocks down all his defenses.
Felicity Ward is no stranger to secrets. Raised in the Witness Protection Program, her whole childhood was a lie. But she couldn’t have known that her family’s secrets—secrets she didn’t even know she was keeping—could spark a nuclear war.
And nothing could have prepared her for the tough, sexy warrior who first saves her life and then vows to protect it, no matter what.
