Description from the publisher:
It's New Year's Eve...and now or
never for these two hearts
When a woman with no faith in love meets the quintessential nice guy determined to breach her mile-high walls, sparks fly as both fight a decidedly unwelcome but equally unavoidable attraction.
Steph Hargrove was a bombshell, a sexy, intrepid woman operating in the business world with guts, brains and daring. She was accustomed to going after whatever she wanted until a man she called friend betrayed her and the company she’d helped build—and nearly killed her in the process. Since that time, she’s been a shadow of the wild, wicked woman who’d carved a swath through her world.
Gavin O’Neill is an artisan with wood, a gardener, a restorer of battered homes, and a savior of strays. When first he meets the wounded woman who postures as invincible and worldly, the sadness in her eyes draws him even more than her lush figure does. However, she insists otherwise, he sees that she needs the kindness and friendship he can give to her while he’s waiting for the woman of his dreams, who will be small and soft and sweet, different in every way from the woman he keeps returning to see.
Yet while he’s not interested in the virago and she refuses to be nurtured, a potent attraction keeps them circling each other. And while they’re busy listing the reasons they’re unsuited, something powerful is growing between them.
New Year’s Eve is for lovers and new beginnings…will these two stubborn souls take the risk?

BE MY MIDNIGHT KISS is the twenty-fifth
book in the Texas Heroes series. This is actually the blending of four series
set in Texas. It was the first book I
have read in the series and I had no problem catching up on who was who as they
related to this book. Of course, now I
wish I had more from this series.
I loved how the other character’s
stories were filled in. They were left
open so that I felt an urge to read them, but not as if I was missing something
vital to understand this one.
I enjoyed this story of opposites
attracting and of friends who interfere but also move mountains. I loved the humor and the banter between
Steph and Gavin. I loved Gavin’s morals
and determination. I loved Steph’s
strength and her vulnerability. I loved
the challenge they proved to be for each other!
The story was well written, but it
was also well-performed (audiobook).
Narration: This narrator knows
what he’s doing! The voices are
discernable. The timing is varied with
proper pausing to allow the listener to absorb the story without sounding
Shatner-like. I’d love to hear more
works that he has read.
Note: I received this audiobook at no cost from
Audiobookworm Promotion. While I was
given this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are
given freely.
