This book was a good read, but I expected more heat. I personally think my Harliquin Blaze books are MUCH hotter than this author's books. Th story was very good, but I would have liked to have seen more passion between the characters.

[Note: This review is of the revised digital edition.]
The two people couldn't have been more different. Suzanne Barron was an interior designer - a lovely, elegant woman who lived in a world filled with beautiful objects. She had loving parents, friends, and had never been touched by the dark side of life. John Huntington, on the other hand, was a retired Navy SEAL, an expert sniper, the owner of a fast-growing security company, who saw the world as a dangerous place in which one needed to be alert and ready to fight at all times. In his world, kill or be killed was the operative phrase. But John and Suzanne meet when he leases office space for his company in her converted warehouse building, and their two worlds suddenly merge - and both are blindsided by desire and need for each other!
This book is a revised version of the original edition of Midnight Man. Although in my opinion the original book was one of the best erotic suspense stories I've ever read, author Rice has done a great job of streamlining the text, thus giving the story even more impact. To reassure readers of the original, I can tell you that the plot remains the same, but the writing is tighter and more visceral. The characters of Suzanne and John come alive on the pages, for Ms. Rice has a great talent for characterization and for eliciting emotions from the reader with her skillful words. The erotica is very graphic, yet the obvious emotional content makes them love scenes rather than sex scenes. Moreover, the erotic elements amplify the suspense, giving it a keen edge that will keep the reader on the edge of her seat until the very end!

I purchased this book after reading another readers review. I can and will say that my pulse too began pounding only a few pages into the book and I knew as well that I had a winner! Enjoyable writers can be hard to come by between favored authors releases.
