"Vampires in the movies!"

Amara Daniels went from the top of the world to the bottom in the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee. It wasn't bad enough that with each movie her clothes got skimpier. Playing Midnight Morris, the bubble headed blonde vampire, in the movies wasn't as popular as it once was. It seems that the powers that be had marketed her from action figures to lunch boxes and still that wasn't good enough. Now they wanted her to take her clothes off and get horizontal. An "R" rating wasn't good enough, it now had to be porn. Well, she wasn't taking this lying down.

Amara had two choices. She could do what they wanted and have sex on screen, or she could quit. To Amara there was really only one choice. As if this wasn't bad enough, the sleazy director hands her a tape of her on-screen love interest and fiancée's extracurricular activities. Tired and discouraged, Amara goes home, puts the tape in the machine and sits back to watch, a bit awestruck at what she is seeing. Movement upstairs draws Amara to her bedroom door. Her fiancée, Derek, is not waiting for her in bed but is in bed with his co-star of the video, along with the next door caterer Steve. Well, this is just too much for one person to take in one day. It's a wonder she doesn't lose it. Needless to say, Derek is history. It looks like her career is also. Two weeks later Amara is still looking for a job that doesn't require her to take her clothes off.

Marco has read in the paper that Amara Daniels is dead, but that can't be true because he remembers seeing her a few days ago. Finding her at the local café, he follows her home. For some reason Amara's trouble antenna goes on high alert. Well, it could be because he's a couple of inches over six feet, or maybe because he's built like a football player, but whatever it is he is scaring her. Marco kidnaps Amara in order to teach her the way a true vampire is. Is Marco a vampire or just a crazed lunatic?

Amara finds herself drawn to Marco, but can she forgive him? The feelings she has for him are so right. MIDNIGHT will draw you into the story and keep you there. You find yourself rooting for Amara to take a chance on Marco. Romance is not dead, it is very much alive and living in MIDNIGHT. I hope we see Marco's friend Royce in the future. As you finish reading MIDNIGHT you find yourself hoping that Royce will get his own 'other half' in the future. And how about Marco's friend Ellie, whom he thinks of as a little sister. Will she ever see a happily ever after? Ms Elisa Adams is very talented. MIDNIGHT is her third story for Ellora's Cave. Expect wonderful things from this author.
