Book Reviews of Midnight Fantasies: Mystery Lover / After Hours / Show and Tell

Story by Thompson ties in with Notorious.
Story by Raye ties in with The Pleasure Principle, The Sex Solution, and The Fantasy Factor. All books can be read as stand alones, unless you're like me and have to know what happens to everyone!

Three of Harlequin's best, steamiest authors... in one book... excellent!

3 great authors....must read

Fantasy #1 MYSTERY LOVER--When an unexpected storm hits, rancher Jonas Garfield takes cover in a nearby cave...and finds himself seduced senseless by an enigmatic temptress who refuses to tell him her name. All he knows is that this sexy woman wants him. And for Jonas, that's enough--for now...
Fantasy #2 AFTER HOURS--Michael Pierce has always considered costume shop owner Rebecca Valentine no more than an associate--until he drops by her shop one night and witnesses the mousy wallflowers' transformation into a seductive siren. Suddenly, he's desperate to know her much better. But which woman is the real Rebecca?
Fantasy #3 SHOW AND TELL--A naughty lingerie party. A forbidden fantasy. When Texas bad boy Dallas Jericho finds a slip of paper left over from the party, he is surprised--and aroused--to discover that he is good girl Laney Merriweather's wildest fantasy. So what can he do but show the lady what she's been missing...

Loved all three stories.

you will find yourself engolfed in the stories of these people, can't wait for the follow-ups!

MYSTERY LOVER - Vicki Lewis Thompson - "When an unexpected storm hits, rancher Jonas Garfield takes cover in a nearby cave . . . and finds himself seduced senseless by an enigmatic temptress who refuses to tell him her name. All he knows is that this sexy woman wants him. And for Jonas, that's enough - for now . . ." The writing was smooth, the characters believable, and the love scenes were not only hot and well-done, but also unbelievably imaginative and adventurous.

AFTER HOURS - Stephanie Bond - "Michael Pierce has always considered costume shop owner Rebecca Valentine no more than an associate - until he drops by her shop one night and witnesses the mousy wallflower's transformation into a seductive siren. Suddenly, he's desperate to know her much better. But which woman is the real Rebecca?" This was the weakest of the three stories, although it's still above-average for a novella. The Michael character was, I think, better drawn than the Rebecca character. The writing is good, the love scenes erotic, and the story itself was very atmospheric. But I think the characters were less well-developed than in the other two stories, and the relationship between them wasn't quite as believable.

SHOW AND TELL - Kimberly Raye - "A naughty lingerie party. A forbidden fantasy. When Texas bad boy Dallas Jericho finds a slip of paper left over from the party, he is surprised - and aroused - to discover that he is good girl Laney Merriweather's wildest fantasy. So what can he do but show the lady what she's been missing . . ." The characters of this story were particularly well-developed, with good explanation of their motivations. The theme of the story (two long-time adversaries fight secret attraction) is an old and popular one, but it's handled well. The love scenes are well-done and imaginative and the writing is smooth.

Very short, quick stories. Quite recreational and fun.

Three very HOT Stories.

This is a surprisingly good read. I liked all three stories in this anthology, not typical for me. Stephanie Bond's story was particularly good.
