4.0 out of 5 stars
One of her best, 3 April 2002
By A Customer
I've read all of Karen Robards and this is one of the best. If you want to know what makes Karen Robards one of the mos popular writers of romantic fiction around, read this book. If runs like a fast paced movie and had a really cool hero with a great cop name. Tony Marino is the investgating officer in a narcotics team who finds himself attracted to the mother of a teenage girl who got herself mixed up with the wrong crowd. What complicates the matter is the teenager's mother happens to be a Judge - Judge grace. Grace fiercly protective of her daughter and her independence, finds she has met her match in Tony, who absoluetly refuses to be intimidated by her cold authority or defensive distance. Forced to depend on each other to protect Jessica, Tony and Judge Grace soon realise as the threat inceases, that their attraction is just as compelling as the forces that threaten them all . Good plot, and a fair amount of tension keeps this book interesting but above all, I just loved Tony! Pure, hot, tough as nails with a soft center, Tony was one HOT italian tomato! Ms Robards took the time to introduce us to his typically Italian family, and we spent a fair amout of time seeing what made him tick. Althought the ending was a tad silly, all is forgiven when Robards delivers with a sizzling sex, high tension and endearing characters. This book as Ms Robard's trademark gruesome touches - bit of blood, crazy psycho, oh and hamster lovers may choose to abstain.

Great Romantic suspense, 12 Dec 1998
By A Customer
In the middle of the night, Bexley, Ohio Judge Grace Hart realizes that her fifteen-year old daughter, Jessica, is not home. She calls the police, who promptly respond to her cry for help. However, during the interview with the local police, Detective Tony Marino arrives with Jessica, who is suffering from sugar shock. They rush her to the hospital and Jessica recovers.Strange things begin to happen to Grace. Somehow, a trespasser continually manages to get inside her home. Grace thinks it is the son she once gave up for adoption. Tony keeps an eye out as he feels he must protect "my girls". Tony and Grace soon fall in love. However, before they can pursue any future together, they must stop the intruder, who plans to kill both of the female Harts. Karen Robards is a popular author whose romantic suspense novels are, rightfully so, very popular among readers. Her latest tale, THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, has a very absorbing storyline. The suspense keeps growing until the very end of the book. The characters feel genuine especially Grace's concern with her teenage daughter's aberrant behavior. Fans of romantic suspense will heartily enjoy Ms. Robards newest book. Harriet Klausner

A must read! Fantastic!, 30 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I've been a big fan of Ms. Robards for years. This is her best book yet! I loved every character--Tony, Grace & Jessica were all real, and I wished I really knew them! I didn't want this book to end, but I couldn't put it down--I read it in 4 hours! Don't hesitate-buy this book!
