Review:

"Blazing Midsummer Nights" by Leslie Kelly was a wonderful read. I have read Ms. Kelly's books so I can only say she did not disappoint me in any way. The title tell you what this novel is all about...once I started reading from it I couldn't put it down. Definitely this was a sizzler!

The two main characters Mimi and Xander were really something that you will simply love from the beginning till the end. This novel was really one that was full of humor and still sexy. Will there be obstacles presenting certain problems? ...Yes.. And what was up with the tea ...that made Mimi have such dreams? Well, to answer each show more of these questions you will have to pick up "Blazing Midsummer Nights" to find out.

If you are looking for a good sexy adult read...you have come to the right place and I would recommend this novel to you. show less

Seeing how I love Shakespeare and the thought of reading a modern romantic retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream really interested me. I just wished it had kept me interested. I found myself taking forever to get through Blazing Midsummer Nights. It really shouldn’t have seeing that it is a relatively short book. I just found myself putting it down a lot and then not want to go back and finish reading it.

I wish the plot had been better and I could have really done without those crazy dreams Mimi had. They didn’t add anything to the story and almost made me quick reading it altogether due to the fact one of them was borderline ménage.

I wish there was a better plot and more of a connection between Xander and Mimi. If there had show more been I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more. show less

3 Stars I have to admit that I skipped over a lot of the book because of all the love scenes in it. It really fits the Blaze line of books. To me I really did not connect to the characters very much. The story line that Mimi Burdette works in the advertising for a chain grocery stores for her father. She is dating Dimitri a guy from work to make her father happy. She is thinking that tonight is the night they would sleep together and than thought oh I need to wear sexy underwear so she goes into her room to change. Xander was just moving into the old house and his apartment and locked himself out and he had taken off his shirt. So he goes to the party outside for the landlady gives him a key to a secret door of the patio through the show more closet to his room. In the closet he hears voice talking about would he like her sexy underware? and then saw her naked from the waist he trips and ends up looking at her from the floor. They end up sharing a passionful kiss. Mimi goes back to the party and forgets her plans for Dimitri. Xander has just moved to Atlanta from Chicago to be a fireman. He has lost both of his parents within six months. He keeps rescueing Mimi. Mimi's father wanted a boy but all he got was Mimi. He is oldfashioned and doesn't think a women can run a business and does not respect Mimi. Warning again lots of sex scenes not much plot around them making love. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. 06/05/2012 PUB Harlequin Harlequin Blaze show less
