review 1: Jack Brandt has managed to escape his captors. Waking up naked and in a stranger woman's house, isn't the most ideal of situations especially when he knows that it's only a matter of time until his captors find him. Not wanting to put the woman in danger he tries to leave her behind only to find himself saving her from the very men he left behind. Morgan Rains has escaped to her cabin in the woods to sort out her late husband's belongings. Although she hasn't moved on from the pain his death brought about, she wants to try to heal and love again. She never anticipated finding herself in the middle of the mess Jack brought to her door, but if she's being honest with herself she has to admit that this is the first time she has felt alive since her husband death. Not only doe... mores Jack lead her to danger, he also manages to bring forth feelings she once thought forgotten. Lust, yearning and fear are only a few of the emotions Jack brings out in her. The question is: Will they survive the danger to be able to explore this new-found connection?This is my first book by Rebecca York and I liked it!Her writing manages to bring together the intrigue of a fantastic suspenseful read with the sexual tension of two individuals who can't deny their attraction for each other. I enjoyed how the way the author went about bringing these two together. Although their connection was immediate, I appreciated the time the author took to develop that connection further. At first glance, you think this will read as any other Romantic Suspense, but as the story progresses you get to recognized other elements that some books in the genre lack. There was the range of emotions--not only from Morgan but from Jack too. There was the action packed scenes and the mystery that kept twisting and turning leaving the reader wondering what was to come next. As for the romance, I just have to say that I would have enjoyed a bit more interaction between Jack and Morgan. I did find that the declarations of love came a bit to fast, but taking into consideration the nature of the situation they found themselves in I could understand and come to overlook it. All in all, a wonderful suspenseful read with complex and interesting characters and a hot little romance to round it all up.
review 2: Bad Nights by Rebecca York is a contemporary suspense romance. Morgan Rains is a psychology professor that is just going through the motions of life since the loss of her husband. While alone in a cabin she is contemplating selling she hears a strange noise outside, only to discover a stranger that happens to be wounded and naked in her backyard. Private operative and former Navy SEAL Jack Brandt has escaped torture after an assignment goes wrong. Morgan drags him into her cabin and does what she can to treat his wounds, only to discover that an act of kindness brings the people Jack has escaped from to her front door. Together they run and fight for survival and discover the danger is even larger than they expected. Jack and Morgan are finding in each other a reason to live, if they can survive.Bad Nights is a suspense romance that offers plenty of action and tight spots to keep readers on the edge of their seats. However, I was sad that I could not connect more with the characters. Morgan is a widow, still going through the grieving process, and just happens to be a psychologist that is too afraid to practice and teaches instead. She is just going through the motions of life, and it seems like even after she 'falls in love' with Jack she is still not really completely invested in life. Jack is a better done, but I still do not fully connect with him, he is suffering for survivors guilt and just seems incomplete. The action was great, but readers that really enjoy character driven stories (like myself) rather than stories where they just seem reactive, might find themselves disappointed. I have liked many of York's past books, and I think that is more where my disappointment lies- because I have seen her do so much better than this.Bad Nights is a book I would recommend to fans of the high action romance, rather than those that prefer to fully connect with the characters. High action, a bad guy with some serious issues, and wounded souls falling for each other might make many readers happy. I was not a bad book, but not up to that standards I have for the author. less
