Midnight Touch

After Hours #3

by Karen Kendall

Some men know exactly how to touch a woman

Sick of being told what she can't do, blue-blooded Kate Spinney has distanced herself from her arrogant, overly entitled family. Now living in Miami, Kate finds herself adrift in the land of spiked heels, thong panties and one very, very spicy hottie named Alejandro Torres — whose main goal seems to be showing her what she can do to every delicious inch of his body!

But Alejandro is living two lives: the one he shows Kate, and another as co-owner of a salon and spa. And what he actually does at the salon is his carefully guarded secret. Kate must never discover his hidden identity. Especially since nearly every woman in Miami is dying for his touch

About the author

Karen Kendall is the author of many disasters and nine romantic comedies. She grew up in Austin, Texas, and credits her early interest in writing to several teachers and her mother, a professor of comparative literature.

A graduate of Smith College, Karen studied the mysteries of modern and contemporary art before enrolling in a masters program in Museum Education, with the aim of teaching children about art. She worked for several museums and galleries before following her lifelong dream and completing a novel.

Karen is still a big fan of children's art, but she now writes full time and lives in Florida with her husband, Don, and attack-cat Boo, who turns up her nose at chicken and fish but adores asparagus and mint-chocolate-chip ice cream.

Nice and entertaining romance. Perfect to fill a rainy day.

[Elizabeth Harmon · Rating 4 out of 5]

funny as well as sexy. loved the MBA student hero's day job as a nail-tech and the length he goes thru to keep his macho soccer teammates, and the heroine, from finding out.

Torn between 3 and 4 stars - well, not torn, but undecided. The author has a great sense of humor, and the characters are well developed for a short romance novel. As a Florida girl, I enjoyed the Miami setting and Kate's feeling of detachment in such an exotic locale. "Senor Manos," the Peruvian manicurist, who hides his day job, to protect the identity of Alejandro the MBA student, was great. Very nice book, and I will look for more by Karen Kendall.

The plot of the story just wasn't my cup of tea. Yes it had romance and I liked the fact that they were two very different people, but the fact that Alejandro keep pressuring Kate to change really bugged me. Yes, she wore old, crappy clothes, but I don't like the fact that he wanted her to change. It did help her create a world away from her family so I guess it wasn't all bad.
