Love - from His Point of View!: Meeting at Midnight / Lost in Sensation / For Services Rendered
Meeting at Midnight by Eileen Wilks
Seely Jones had secrets, hidden talents and a shadowed past. In Ben's arms she wasn't the elusive earth mother she seemed, but a fiery temptress he was determined to keep in his bed and in his life forever.
Lost in Sensation by Maureen Child
Sam Holden's isolation was shaken by sexy whirlwind Tricia Wright. And when the proposed sleeping arrangements turned intimate, it was only a matter of time before his resolve to keep the world at a distance melted.
For Services Rendered by Anne Marie Winston
They'd worked together for years, but security expert Sam Deering never knew what was beneath his plain-Jane employees baggy clothing. Then, on the night of Delilah Smith's twenty-ninth birthday, Sam no longer had to wonder as virginal Del announced she was ready.

About the author
Eileen Wilks
132 books1,533 followersEileen Wilks’ first book, a Silhouette Desire published in 1996, hit the USA Today Bestseller List and was nominated for Romantic Times' Best First Short Contemporary award. Since then, her books have appeared consistently on national bestseller lists. With thirty two books in print and novellas in nine anthologies, she has been a finalist in the prestigious Rita Awards three times, as well as receiving several nominations from Romantic Times, including one for Career Achievement in Series Romantic Suspense.
Each book in her World of the Lupi series gains a larger audience. It was originally sold in the Romance section of bookstores, but more and more you will be able to find copies cross-shelved under Sci-Fi and Fantasy as the popularity of the series grows!
Eileen has lived in the West Texas town of Midland, TX for over 30 years--three years as a young teen, and the remaining years since she moved back here as an adult. When she first started writing over 10 years ago, it hit her like the first drink for an alcoholic . . . or the first kiss for Romeo and Juliet.
She came to writing romance in a roundabout way. Having read and loved science fiction for years, that’s where she first tried her hand when the writing bug bit. Somehow her stories always ended up having a strong romantic subplot, but she hadn’t read a romance since the early 80’s and didn’t think “those little books” were her kind of stories. But when a friend in her critique group began working on a romance novel, Wilks decided she needed to give the genre another try. She asked her friend to recommend some titles--and quicker than you can say “Jayne Ann Krentz,” she fell in love. The genre had been busy growing up while she wasn’t watching. These days, with romances comprising over 50% of the mass market books published in the U.S., there are romances to appeal to almost every taste--historicals, paranormals and contemporaries that range from romantic suspense to romantic comedy, from inspirational to sizzling.
Eileen covered a lot of territory before coming home to Midland, having lived in Canada and Venezuela as well as twelve U.S. cities in five states.

This book is a compilation of three stories by three different authors.
The first story is called Meeting at Midnight by Eileen Wilks.
It starts out with Ben wrecking his pickup, rolling it actually if my memory serves me right and getting rescued by this woman who he swore was an angel. Seely Jones. He hires her to take care of him while he recovers from the accident and things get romantic.
I liked this story but I always find it weird when a secondary character (Gwen) has already slept with Ben and has a kid with him and is now married to his brother. I just can't wrap my mind around that and of course Ben is still in love with Gwen and blah blah blah.
I wasn't so keen on the end of this story, either with the epiphany that Ben can see auras. Whatever. It was a pretty good story overall.
The second story was called Lost in Sensation by Maureen Child.
I hated this story. Absolutely loathed it. I thought the whole set up sucked with Sam having to spend two weeks with his best friend's family. I thought the way Tricia came onto him was appalling and I found his woe-is-me attitude really irritating. He couldn't get over the death of his wife to have a relationship with another woman. I got that and I had some sympathy with it but it went on and on and on and after awhile I just wanted to yell at him. 'GET OVER IT FOR GOD'S SAKE!" He was pathetic and even if she did bring him around at the end and said some things he really needed to hear, I got really annoyed with the whole deal and I didn't finish the books for days because I didn't want to read another word about any of them.
But eventually I did pick up the book again and finished it and surmised that they saved the best for last.
The last story is called For Services Rendered by Anne Marie Winston.
It didn't take me any time to whip through this one. Sam (yeah another Sam but this guy was not pathetic) and Del, the woman whom he'd worked with for the last seven years finally get it together. She sets out to lose her virginity on her 29th birthday and is going to do it with a stranger when he intercedes and takes care of that for her.
The relationship escalates and with the way the secondary characters work in this story to provide more power to it, I don't know. It just worked. I liked Peggy and Karen and that moron Walker after he came to his senses.
Anyway it just worked and it was the best of the three stories.
I would have given this book more stars if it hadn't been for that pathetic dude in the second story. The other two really were quite good.

This book was different as it was from male point of veiw
I enjoyed everyone of the three books. The price was good. I chose this book because of the design on the front of the cover. I have to like the look of a book as well as the write up

Bought for the Eileen Wilks story. Liked it and the Ann Marie Wilson story. Couldn't get into the second story - might try again after reading the blurb.
Three short romances written from the man's point of view.
