KAT MARTIN

For New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin, a career in real estate led her down the road to romance. Through real estate, Kat found her own perfect match — her husband, Western author Larry Jay Martin. "We were on opposing sides of a transaction — I represented the seller and he represented the buyer," Kat recalls. A short time after the two became acquainted, Larry asked her to read an unpublished manuscript of an historical western he'd written. Kat fell in love with both the book and the author! "It was quite a romantic story," she admits. "I'd still like to see it get published." Then, after doing some editing for her future husband, she thought she'd try her own hand at writing. Kat moved on to become the bestselling author of over thirty historical and contemporary romance novels. To date, 10 million copies of her books are in print, and she's been published around the globe, including Germany, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea, Bulgaria, Russia, England, South Africa, Italy, Spain, Argentina and Greece. When she's not writing, Kat also enjoys skiing and traveling, particularly to Europe. Currently, she's busy writing her next book. Kat loves to hear from readers via her email: [e-mail]

Angel works in a strip club while trying to find her missing sister. Johnnie is a PI who can't get her out of his mind.

Quick, Fun ReadWhen Amy Brewer's sister goes missing, Amy moves to LA to see if she can follow her trail beginning at the Kitty Kat Club where Rachael used to work. While Amy is pole dancing, she can feel the Johnnie Riggs’ eyes focused on her. Amy discovers that Johnny is a private detective, and conveniences Johnny to agree to help Amy find her sister. Johnnie uses all his Army Ranger knowledge, along his friends Special Forces friends to track Amy’s sister Rachael. Sparks fly throughout the story to make it heavy on the romance with a fairly predictable story. This is an average romantic suspense. The characters are fun and interesting, and the story moves quickly. Though not particularly memorable, Against the Night is easy and diverting. It is the fifth book in Martin’s Against series.Received Galley from NetGalley.com

I've read the other four books in this series and was pretty excited to get my hands on this one--and for the most part, it didn't disappoint. Johnnie is a kick-butt alpha male who knows how to get things done, and Amy/Angel is a fun, finding-herself-while-on-a-quest-to-find-her-sister heroine. The action definitely kept me turning the pages, and the love scenes were steamy. Where it lost a star for me, though, is I just didn't buy the two main characters reasons for why they couldn't be together--their reasoning here seemed overly flimsy and served little more than to draw out the story needlessly. Still, all's well that ends well, and this one did, of course. I'm definitely looking forward to book six in the series.
