Good Book

I personal like all Diana Palmers books. Even though some of them are almost alike, I still read them.I have most of her books published under the Palmer name. I trade books with three friends and we all enjoy Palmer. After Midnight is very very good.

Another good DP novel!

I think this book was originally written under DP's other pen name, Susan Kyle. (SPOILER ALERT!!) Typical to DP's books, the heroine is a virgin (even though she has been married in the past) and the hero is older and more experienced. It is a great story about love overcoming some pretty big obstacles. I highly recommend this one as well.

Just Love it

Pakmer's books usaly don't have to much depth so I usaly don;t consider them among my favoirt books. But I do enjoy her plots and they are easy reads so I won't deny reading them. After Midnight though is just my kind of book, so despite there nt being that pull on my emotions I still can honestly say it is among my favoits. I am reffering though to the original, not the new reprint. And there is a huge difference. Clayton Seymor's sister meets and falls for a man she met on her island get away and she is not all to excited about this because he happens to be her brothers biggest enemy. Nicki Seymor knows that Kane Lambord is Clay's foe, the man who is funding his opponents bid for congress and whos father owners a tabloid that could expose the scandelous marriage between his sister and his political ally. But Kane does not know Niki is Clay's sister. Its the whole forbiden love thing, meets her brother is destroying him, and yet he still loves her and everyone thinks they should hate each othet but they don't. But beware, the second version of the story is absolutly horrible. Clay and Niki and Cortez are pretty much the same charectors in both, but in the newer one Palmer turned Kane into a total jerk and so there realy is more reason to dislike him than anything. The relationship between he and Niki consistes of three enconters on the island before he decideds to try and seduce her and a realy creepy situation in his bed while she's sick. I read this first and because of the teaser in the begining of the book, which gives a scene that is not in the book, I decided that I had to read the origianl because as bad as the second book was I felt like there was obviously a lot a stuff changed, and in fact there was. If you've already read the second one and thought Kane was a jerk you'll think he's much better origialy, he does not push her to be his mistress and he legitamatly shows normal feelings for her, plus he doesn't go so far when she's sick, and she's also not as sick and weak. Of you can't find the now out pf print version try the newer one and pretend he's not so bad.

After Midnight

Back cover reads: A POWERFUL MAN CAN MAKE A WOMAN STRONGER... OR BREAK HER HEART. Nicole Seymour had lost at love before--a first marriage that was such a fiasco she never even had a proper wedding night. The Kane Lombard strolled down a South Carolina beach and into her heart. Here their pasts seemed very far away, and all that mattered was discovering was how much they cared for each other. But both were keeping secrets. "Beach bum" Kane was actually a wealthy Houston oil man, whose family owned the tabloid newspaper that was digging up dirt of Nikki's U.S. Congressman brother. Nikki, the laughing, innocent woman of Kane's dreams, was really the elegant, glittering Charleston socialite sister of his bitterest enemy. All too soon lies and political intrigue made them angry opponents. Their passion would become a two edged sword-a hunger that brought them together and a searing pain that drove them apart. And Nikki Seymour would become a woman in love with the one man she should never trust.
