Search - Walking After Midnight

Great read. A little different, but I liked it.

This is one of my most favorite books. Recently I got rid of my paperback copy and replaced it with the hardcover version.

From Library Journal

While cleaning a funeral home late one night, Summer McAfee is taken hostage when a nude male body leaps off a preparing table. Over the next few days, Summer and the badly beaten, left-for-dead Steve Calhoun struggle to elude the bad guys, which include the police. Summer moves from fearing for her life to finding the love of her life. Despite skillful plot twists, humor, and clever use of a guardian ghost (Deedee, Steve's former lover), the book has a serious flaw. Although Walking is billed as a romantic thriller, Steve's initially cruel and brutal treatment of Summer is alarming. Veteran writer Robards (Maggy's Child, LJ 1/94) should know better than to perpetuate the myth that women unconsciously want to be dominated and victimized. Not recommended, despite its other qualities.

I wasn't too sure what I was getting as I read the first few pages ... BUT ... it turned into a terrific read. Lots of action ...lots of chuckles... I'm glad I didn't take a pass on this one.

This is the first adult book I ever read. I still remember the story.

lots of fun and suspense!!!!(and romance)
