ABOUT THE BOOK:

on a mission to deliver a Delta Force team into the Iranian Desert. He's always been a 'love 'em and leave 'em' kind of guy, but all that changes when Lola's in danger. Now with the stakes higher than ever, they must find a way to eliminate a threat that could destroy more than just their future.

MY REVIEW:

I have enjoyed this series by M.L. Buchman immensely. Buchman manages to create some pretty good romance in the most unusual of circumstances. I mean, where else or who else would want to find love—not just sexual attraction—out in the middle eastern desert, under less than favorable conditions, while working twelve, sometimes sixteen hour shifts?

Doesn’t sound very attractive does it?

Well Buchman manages to go beyond the regular story of boy meets girl and together they fall in love. His stories are always engaging, descriptive, and on par for pure action. Take Over at Midnight was no different. At as a bonus, at the end there was a nice addition into just what inspired the author to develop this piece of romantic fiction.

Sometimes the writing was a bit off to me, but it was more so on a character base, which is why I took it down a star. I would have loved to given it five, but for some reason Lola really just didn’t do it for me in this book, and came off as a bit self-centered at times. I know we don’t always want to have perfect characters in books, but for Lola, I almost didn’t like her.

Even so, I adored this couple falling for one another. I would have liked to see them both work a bit harder at showing the falling in love, but I was well beyond pleased with the action and suspense in this read. Great job. Four out of five stars and hearty recommendation for a weekend read.

This is the perfect book to read if you like a little action in your romance books. Its part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone with no real problems of following the story arc. I've just recently gotten into military romance books and this series was one of the first I read and totally

got me hooked. I pretty much loved everything about Tim. He was funny, sexy and wasn't afraid to show his desire for Lola. Can't wait to see who'll be joining up with the Nightstalkers now that they have three new openings or will it be a spin-off? All I know is.....I can't wait.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Once again, M.L. Buchman strikes the right note, with his fourth installment in The Night Stalkers series.

I love this series and #4 was no disappointment. Some of the highlights for me: seeing more of the Majors and Peter, Tim's family, Vengeance being an all female crew (and that not being majorly called out), [SPOILER ALERT ->] the fact that they actually had a conversation about why she said no,

and, my favorite, the wordless way in which she eventually accepts. There are some downsides, I'll admit, one of which was that the way in which they figure everything out in the end was just too pat for me. [END OF SPOILER] The military detail is also sometimes a bit too involved to be able to easily follow the flow.

But the only real issue I have is that I've almost caught up with the series and I only have one left to go. Although once I get through I think I'm going back to the beginning and reading them straight through. And then we get Firehawks so there's more great stuff to come.
