Summary: 1/2 Stars - Good, but Forgettable
Review: Really old romance book premise. If you are a fan of Kat Martin, I would read Hot Rain. This is good and entertaining, but it is total mind candy. It goes fast, and you forget it equally quickly. I read this last night, and I already had to review it a bit to remember the plot line.Charity is bored w/her life, and decides to move to the Yukon to prospect for Gold for 6 mos. She thinks this will give her what she feels she has been missing before she finds the guy to settle down with and have a family. She wants a grand adventure 1st. There is some talk of her 2 sisters looking for the same thing, so we may see their stories in the future. When she goes to the Yukon, she conveniently bought a plot of land right next to a brooding tall gorgeous guy w/attitude (sound familiar?). Anyway this guy doesn't want her there, but wants her, and also convient, happens to be a retired billionaire. (I really could have handled a millionaire) Of course you can not tell it by the way he lives, he is obviously comfortable, but not to that extent. He is also way moody, (what billionaire isn't) and goes back and forth with the way he feels about Charity. She is not a wimp, and after finding out that he had sex w/someone before he had her, she makes him sweat it out for 2 weeks, before he get back in her "good graces". Can we say who cares if he got a hummer from someone before they were? Anyway, it is o.k. KM tries to liven the plot w/a neat little twist of this guy who is trying to kill them, so there are a lot of accidents. Hoky, but a good read. I have not read this much of a romance in awhile, and it was a nice change of pace, but I could not read too many in a row. Overall, this book is a good time filler, and well written.

Summary: exciting romantic suspense
Review: Though she loves her two sisters, Charity Sinclair envies what they are doing. Now twenty-eight, she decides if she is going to have an adventure it must be now. Charity gives notice to her employer that she is leaving her senior editor job at Glenbrook Publishing and informs her boyfriend of two years likewise. The Manhattan based editor of renowned thriller novels is relocating for the next six months to the Yukon. Software CEO Call Hawkins returned to the area he once called home four years ago following the deaths of his wife and daughter in a car accident. He feels guilty that he never was there for his family as he worked sixteen hours everyday. The noise next door upsets the hermit Call who sees Charity moving in. Even more upsetting to Call is that he finds he wants sex for the first time since the tragedy though he only desires it with his new neighbor Charity. As their squabbling relationship turns to love, someone tries to kill her though she knows not why or whom. Call risks his life to keep her safe, but refuses to accept the fact that he loves Charity. MIDNIGHT SUN is an exciting romantic suspense starring two delightful lead protagonists. The courageous Charity hooks the reader who has thought of doing the same thing she did, while the audience also feels empathy towards Call. Though the attempts on the heroine's life adds suspense and a direct link to the past, it seems unnecessary as the Yukon frontier and the previous deaths of his family provide powerful cover for a deep tale that is superb when the plot adheres to those twin themes.
