Former navy SEAL Joe Harris nearly died—twice—on a medevac helo after being blown up by an IED. He's not moving too great these days, but if there was ever a woman designed to jump-start a man's hormones, it would be his new neighbor.
Meeting Isabel—loving Isabel—brought Joe back to life.
Isabel Delvaux came from one of America's foremost political dynasties, until the greatest terrorist attack since 9/11 killed her entire family. She barely survived the Washington Massacre, only to become prey for rabid reporters. Fleeing to Portland and changing her name was a way out, a way to start over. The only way.
She knows she's safe with Joe Harris. Not just because he's big and strong, not just because he's part of a security team that obliterates threats on the regular, but because he's been to the abyss and back.
But as they help each other heal—through talk, through touch, through spectacular sex—the past comes back to play. When Isabel's memory starts to return and a mysterious stranger sends Joe emails indicating Isabel is in imminent danger, he'll do anything to help her uncover the truth. Even if that truth is the most terrifying thing of all…

Re: Midnight Secrets
men of midnight這系列的五葉~基本上都比midnight系列的三本再略遜一點~
就是midnight的五葉~是五+~
men of midnight的五葉~就是五葉而已這樣~
可以感受到進入這系列LMR再安排男女主角發展的節奏都慢了下來~但是一旦開始了~熱度還是不減~
這本內容簡介天空同學已經寫了~我就不贅述
我覺得精彩的地方~在於內心細膩的描寫~以及女主角後半段完全發揮本性的堅韌~
看到她在van裡面跟壞人fighting的時候~真是會內心為她加油喝采~覺得她超棒的!!她不是只寫外在的fighting而已~連她內在的情緒跟思緒都一併描寫出來~讓整個fighting非常有靈魂~~很有溫度的一段描寫!
後半段寫得超棒~感覺這三本的女主角都傷重的很厲害~好可憐~但是患難見真情~同樣在vengence的梗又跑出來還是一樣收買我的心~~男主角跳下水之前想著~我只有兩分鐘可以把她救起來~如果救不起來~我也不要起來了~
然後這本終於有求婚了~~~~很彆腳又感人的求婚呀~~

Re: Midnight Secrets
Isabel Delvaux成長在優越的家庭,父親有錢有勢馬上要參選總統,就在發表參選聲明的晚會上,突然一場大爆炸,整個家族消失,只有她一人幸存。幸福家庭長大的孩子,一旦失去所有家人,簡直無法獨自生存,於是她搬到小城Portland療(身體和心靈雙重的)傷,鄰居正好是Joe Harris,他本是navy SEAL,受傷後退役,也在家療傷,他比較幸運的是,有ASI公司做他的堅強後盾。ASI不但在他退役後就把他納入麾下,而且他在家養傷三個月、一天班都沒上,ASI還照發工資(啊啊啊我也想去這麼夢幻的公司上班,只是,John和Douglas兩個老板如此大方,我真擔心這公司破產倒閉^_^),最初兩個人只是互相幫助,Joe看到Isabel剛搬來就主動上門幫她搞些修修補補的工作,Isabel投桃報李,煮美食送給他(為免當面“謝謝”“不客氣”這種麻煩寒喧,她都是將食物默默放他門前),幾個月兩人都沒向前一步,直到有一天Joe聽到Isabel半夜尖叫,沖到她家,發現她被人跟蹤、偷窺,故事才真正開始。
這本裏面,Metal和Jacko都有出現,而且幾個朋友的互動不少,Lisa Marie Rice寫得恰到好處,不會故意賺你眼淚,卻讓你在會心一笑的同時默默為這群人感嘆,覺得這個小集體真好。
女主角Isabel是廚神,本來上一本《Midnight Promises》就寫了男主角Metal很會做飯,結果到這本書,他吃了Isabel做的飯,驚嘆道,這不是cook,是magic!
表面上看,男主角Joe與女主角Isabel真是天上地下,一點不般配,她出身上流社會(Joe覺得她家就是當代的肯尼迪家族),他只是個退役軍人,Isabel內心戲也寫過,她父親出入都是西裝筆挺、修剪一次頭發都要花三百刀,而Joe只是每天T恤牛仔褲,可是,後來相處久了她發現,他和她父親有一點相同:They mean what the said,and they say what they mean.(上一本《Midnight Promises》男主角Metal也是與Felicity相差千裏,Metal無意中得知Felicity畢業於MIT,在車上假裝無意地問“So,MIT,hum?”Felicity非常可愛,一點也不居高臨下,說是啊,說明我比你聰明。Metal就坡下驢,馬上說“還好我比你有肌肉,我們打平手了”),這種表面不對等的設定,由Lisa Marie Rice寫來,一點不覺得荒謬,只覺得可信。
故事最後,是一個大party,前幾本書的主角們都出來了,John和Suzanne的女兒已經四歲,就是說,距離Midnight系列,最近幾個故事發生在四年後了,時間過得可真快。
