QUICKIE What I Learned: Nightfire by Lisa Marie Rice

Nightfire 
by Lisa Marie Rice

Chloe Mason's childhood memories consist of seemingly endless hospital stays. Now all grown up and healthy, her determination to fill the gaping holes in her past leads her to her long-lost brother, Harry . . . which brings Harry's friend and business partner, Mike Keillor, crashing into her life and her heart.
Former Marine Force Recon sniper and SWAT officer--a martial arts expert and owner of a successful security company--Mike can deal coolly and efficiently with any threat . . . until he's blindsided by something he never expected: fierce, fiery passion . . . and love.
But when Chloe inadvertently crosses the Russian mob, Mike realizes that evil is darkening his world once again. He has already lost his family; he will not lose the woman who enflames him, who makes him whole. Failure is not an option.

What I Learned:

• is that I can't have the author assume that we know that questions are being asked behind the scenes. Mike is a slut. He sleeps around. Chloe has unprotected sex with him. Where was the talk about STI's?
• is that I only like epilogues when they are well do a great job of giving me closure to the couple. When it's used as a way to quickly get information to me to wrap up the story..... I'm not always a fan.
• is that as much as there were parts of this story (mainly Mike) that I disliked, ultimately at the end I was smiling.
