Family Men (Midnight Sons, Volume 2)

I enjoy most of Debbie Macomber's books. This is a very enjoyable series. You really care about the characters and like finding out what happens to them. The locale is intriguing.

I love a book that finishes but also continues into another book. This is a great story line and I've enjoyed every book in it.

Every now and then I feel the need to read a romance that is easy and fun to read. Macomber has written two books in one that is a double treat. They both are centered in Alaska so that one gets the additional gift of learning a little about that state. The first is about Bethany Ross who is the new teacher and Mitch Harris who is the law among other things in the town of Hard Luck, Alaska. Mitch is drawn to Bethany but fights his attraction because of the death of his first wife and he figures it won't be long before her bags are packed and she is heading for greener pastures. Bethany has come to teach, but her main objective is to find and learn what she can about a man called Ben. She isn't planning on leaving for a while, and of course she is drawn to Mitch but can't figure him out. She feels he is as attracted to her as she is to him but he acts the opposite-and then there is his daughter who tries to be matchmaker. The second story is about Matt and Karen who are now divorced. Karen grew up with a father who couldn't keep a job and the financial insecurity that resulted. Matt had begun to do the same thing and she decided she couldn't deal with it so she left him and divorced him. Matt buys and old lodge that needed fixing up and put everything into it, but he still loves Karen and she still loves him. His sister, who Karen has remained friends with, is getting married and wants Karen to be in her wedding. After getting Matt's okay that it won't bother him if Karen is in the wedding, her plans evolve. You guessed it, Matt and Karen have a one nighter and then Karen leaves. Karen finds out she is pregnant and because the pregnancy is making her ill she agrees to stay at Matt's lodge until after the baby is born, in seperate bedrooms, of course. The rest you will have to find out for yourself. If you want a nice relaxing evening reading a fun but not to strenuous book, this is right up your alley. I enjoyed the book.

This second book in Macomber's "Midnight Sons" series is a brilliant follow up to her first. I'm a die-hard Nora Roberts fan, but find Macomber's books are just as dear to me, but for different reasons. Instead of the rich and famous, Macomber focuses on people you feel you might actually know. This draws you further into the story. I can't recommend it highly enough.

kept me up at night...could not put it down...and my only question is where and how do i get the next book in this great series?
