My first read from Elle Kennedy and I jumped in to the middle of the Killer Instincts series but I felt this read easily as a stand-alone even though there were a lot of secondary characters and side stories I'm sure came from the earlier books in the series. Jim and Noelle have hated each other for almost 20 years. Except that hate started as love and the attraction is still there even if neither want to admit it. When Noelle accepts a contract to kill Jim she gives him a fighting chance to warn him but when this puts them in close proximity to find out who's behind the contract they can no longer ignore what tore them apart years ago. A very exciting, sexy, fast paced romantic suspense from a great new-to-me author. I'm excited to continue the series. Good read!

FINALLY! This was the book that we have been teased with through 4 books and a novella. We finally get the low down on the love/hate relationship between Jim & Noelle. You can read this book standalone but it won’t be half as much fun. I loved this book! Filled with action adventure and some off the charts sex this is a page turner that will keep you up past your bedtime. There are a whole lot of surprises I never saw coming. Go buy this book.

In MIDNIGHT ACTION we finally find out Jim Morgan and Noelle’s story. In the other books in this series they are constantly taunting each other, but you can also feel the chemistry flowing between them. We become acquainted with Jim and Noelle when they were young, naive and vulnerable, before they put up all the walls they have today. The reader is taken back in time and the story alternates from present day to eighteen years ago when Jim and Noelle first meet. Not all authors can make this type of story flow well, but Elle Kennedy does a wonderful job.
Jim is an ex Army Ranger who now runs a successful mercenary company. His group of mercenaries is the most successful and sought after team in the world. I admire Jim, he’s a rugged guy, but is also vulnerable and not afraid to show his feelings.
Noelle is a paid assassin and has a group of women working for her. Sometimes Jim and Noelle work on the same cases together, which isn’t easy because they’re both stubborn and don’t trust each other. Noelle is tough and acts like she doesn’t need anyone, but she has scars from her past that she’s never recovered from.
Elle Kennedy writes a well written, action packed story full suspense, with some humor thrown in, to relieve the tension. The characters are believable, interesting, and down to earth. We catch up with many of the characters from past books in this series and I love the camaraderie shared between the guys on the team. Midnight Action is another installment in the Killer Instincts series and each book is a stand-alone. I have read and enjoyed all the books in this series, but this is my new favorite.

Finally! We got to know what Noelle and Jim's deal was. And oh my, what a tangled mess it was!

Noelle and Morgan’s story has been building through all the others in the series. I was really looking forward to finally getting to see them as the main focus. Unfortunately this one was a big miss for me.
I felt like N and M’s story was still secondary - even in their own book. This time to the discovery of Morgan’s daughter. It might have partly been the audio narration but I found her pretty annoying.
Parts of this book felt so repetitive that I actually wondered if I had accidentally rewound and was hearing the same thing again.
This could have (should have) been an intense pageturner and instead it was a big snooze - I ended up skimming the end in case I decide to finish the rest of the series. I think for now I need to take a break. So disappointed.
