I don't like how nothing got resolved. Claire's feelings about how Bud was treating her was valid.
Then they broke up. And then he got shot and all was forgiven. Her concerns were never truly addressed. She just has to get over it and deal with an over bearing man the rest of her life.
Spoiler
I mean I don't understand how Bud concluded that he couldn't have sex with her at all. Yes, she was sick when she was younger, but a marathon of sex of over the weekend didn't hurt her so... I just didn't understand it. She never properly addressed the issue with him. Just cried bout it. So when the whole protective custody thing came up, she over reacted.Then they broke up. And then he got shot and all was forgiven. Her concerns were never truly addressed. She just has to get over it and deal with an over bearing man the rest of her life.
Good, but not as good as the first in the series. You've got another very strong alpha personality but due to the direction this story went, I didn't get to enjoy as much as I did in the first book. You got a glimpse of the couple from the first book which just made me love John even more and we got a glimpse of the couple who will be in the 3rd book. He was described as extremely dangerous looking, which gives me high hopes for the third book.
Now that I'm rereading it it is kinda weird so too convenient that he was the same officer that helped her when she was younger.
The perfect book to end my year with. It’s set around Christmas/new year, though for some odd reason neither is mentioned with much significance. But I can always count on Rice’s books to leave me satisfied between the action, the romance, and the modern caveman antics of the hero. These are books I like to cozy up in bed and devour. It’s becoming my tradition to pick up one of her books after all the craziness of the holidays, when I just want something I know I’m going to enjoy and be able to relax with.
HO LEEEE CRAP. The first 1/2 of this book was hot, bangin', ALPHA sex. Goodness gracious, Bud! I thought John in Midnight Man was a hot piece...wow i was wrong. I liked Claire- the girl knew what she wanted and didn't shy away from it and kept going after it! Good for her.
Bud is extremely stubborn. So is Claire. Together they are red hot. They make a great couple, I loved them together.

Score Sheet Summary:
Stopping after reading just one Lisa Marie Rice book is an impossibility for me. Midnight is a series that I have read completely out of order and because of that very reason I am able to say that Midnight Run sort of reads like a mix of the 3 books in the series put together.
Bud is a cop, working undercover at a dance club in Portland known as The Warehouse when he sets his eyes on the beautiful Claire Parks. Bud is a tough, larger than life, total alpha hero who succumbs to the lure of the gentle and altogether too pretty for her own good Claire. Though Claire might be the last virgin in Portland, she has no intention of staying that way for long and its a weekend of decadent pleasures that Bud introduces Claire to, each and every encounter bringing the deeper emotions to the surface as their lovemaking grows more explosive as the weekend goes on.
Midnight Run is a book that is a feast for the senses. I say this because there wasn’t one non-tingly nerve in my body as Bud came into the picture and practically depleted the oxygen levels in the room with his take charge attitude in bed and out of it that serves to be a major turn-on. Though Claire is no pushover, it is always with pleasure I welcome heroines that Lisa Marie Rice creates, no feminists clouding up the story with their attitude in her novels.
The one disappointment for me was how the story ended. There was a lot of angst towards the end, and for me there were some “issues” that needed to be resolved between Claire and Bud before their happily ever after could begin. Of course, the love they have for each other is an unquestionable one, but I would have loved to see a bit of a prolonged ending to a story that had me reading the book in one sitting, giving my mind that much needed relaxation from the cloudy atmosphere of politics that is the current Maldivian environment.

Better than book 1, though the girl is still a bit too quick to forgive. Great narrator!
