What a brilliant addition to this series!
While it’s filled with plenty of hot steamy scenes and off the scale chemistry. The story and road to Logan and Emma’s forever will have you hooked to the very end.
Logan and Emma K-I-s-s-I-n-g
Ahh! When I read cherry bomb I knew I needed Emma and Logan’s story. What I didn’t realize was how much I was going to love it! This story surpassed everything I thought I wanted in their story. Drama, lies, the cutest three almost four year old and of course sexy times!
If Logan was taken by Princess Emma and Little Miss Chelsea I would be knocking on his door and say “yes sir!”
Logan’s nanny left for two months in the summer leaving him in a bind with his daughter. Emma is referred to him by his best friend and his gf (Cherry Bomb) because she was a nanny before and is going to school for child development. Logan is hesitant at first because she looks exactly like his wife. Emma is very eager for the job because she needs the money and loves kids. What she wasn’t expecting was the insane amount of extra money he wanted to pay her to be his play thing. And it was both, nanny and play thing, or nothing. She was homeless and needed the money so she couldn’t say no.
This one was hard for me. I felt so awful for Emma because Logan was such a jerk and his animosity was so unfounded – not her fault at all. I struggled so hard with how she could cave to him and his demands. I know it was the money but I also know that she had other issues that this was too close to that I hated it for her. It also gave you the impression that he wanted a D/s relationship but it wasn’t anything like that. More of a you will do what I want when I want and I don’t care about you or your feelings or wants just do it kind of a relationship and I didn’t like that for this story. Logan does eventually pull his head out of his butt but not enough to divulge his secrets causing even more pain for Emma. Thankfully she had Cherry to help her when that all wend down. I enjoyed it enough but I was super bummed for Emma for too much of the book to totally love it.
“I have a weakness for evil men.” DON’T WE ALL?!?

What’s this book about? (I’m trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
Logan Gregory is the devil. And Emma has a lot of secrets. She needed the money. She took a job. Boss and employee; they each had their role. Until the lines blurred. Until the lines blurred and revealed and truths came out to play.
This is my second Carmel Rhodes read. Picking up with characters from Cherry Bomb, I was IMMEDIATELY hooked. Logan is a different beast than Cash, but, nonetheless, hellishly hot. His relationship with Chelsea had my heart melting. Emma has a loaded past. She keeps her heavy baggage a secret and she carries the weight all on her own. She was admirable. Her hook-up-ship with the boss was swoon-worthy (if you roll that way). The story was fast-paced and the drama was striking. Once again, the banter/chatter of the characters was hilarious.
And then, there’s a plot twist. I did NOT even think of that possibility.
I recommend this to saucy age gap lovers, devil leading men worshippers and people who like it when all isn’t as it seems.
Definitely love the ending! If you love Happily Ever After then this book is for you. I love the character of Logan cause even if he was busy at work and he was left alone by his wife, he made sure that he can still do the fatherly things to his daughter, Chelsea and that he loves her so much. I also love Emma even though she was deceived from her past, she was still able to recover from it. Logan and Emma’s love story is so inspiring.
Logan Gregory is the rich, my way or the highway, alpha who is putty in the hands of his sweet little daughter Chelsea. Logan is in need of a nanny. Emma, a student at Brighton U is hiding from her past and is in need of money.
This premise kicks off this ridiculously entertaining read. It’s only a matter of time before both of them are breaking rules and steaming up the pages. Carmel, as usual, delivers some of the hottest, sexiest scenes that will leave your Kindle smoking.
Midnight Kiss is a page-turner. Watching the satisfying evolution of Emma, you will feel every misstep, every heartbreak along her journey. She will worm her way into your heart to the point that you will be standing and rooting her on like a best friend.
This is a great addition to the Brighton World 5 stars.
Midnight Kiss is one steamy ride! This is your next must-read romance!
Midnight Kiss is the second book in this interconnected series but can be read as a standalone. We’ve met Emma and Logan in the first book, Cherry Bomb and some of its characters will be appearing in this book. From what I read, the timeline of this story coincides with the first book too.
First off, whew! Logan and Emma’s chemistry is explosive! I’m not kidding when I say it’s getting hot in here. So be prepared for cold showers ladies. But aside from this, they both have a dark past that continues to haunt them in the present day. Though they are both broken, these imperfections made them a perfect match. Let’s not forget, Chelsea is so adorable! I just wanted to get inside the book so I can hug this smart and sassy little girl. The dynamics of these three from the start is so cute, they were like real family already. Overall, a sexy, age gap, single dad romance with the right amount of angst and drama for a quick read.
I absolutely love these two Emma is emotionally raw and honest about what she is feeling. Logan is a stubborn fool who doesn’t want to own up to how he feels. To experience the growth of both Logan and Emma was a joy and the story made you laugh as well as cry. I love little Chelsea she is a great addition to the love story and she keeps Logan grounded.
Logan and Emma’s connection is explosive hot. Even though the characters faces challenges I felt that they always a connection with each other. This was my first time reading a book for this Arthur and I really enjoyed the book.
Oh my goooossshhh! Midnight Kiss was a book I devoured in one sitting. Single dad—check, adorable child—check, older man—check, nanny—check. Those are some of my favorite elements in a story. Then, you add in Logan and Emma’s personalities. The one thing I absolutely LOVE about this author’s writing is how she creates 3-dimensional characters who are perfectly imperfect. They both go through a journey to grow, and in the end it makes the pay-off much sweeter. Midnight Kiss is one of my favorites of 2019. Trust me you need this beautiful story.
And again Carmel Rhodes has written another fantastic book!! I’ve come to the realization that I’d read anything Carmel writes. Midnight kiss is the perfect of forbidden romance with the older sexy single dad and a girl just trying to move on with her life. Logan and Emma are hot and steamy and throw in little Chelsea and just the right amount of sass and perfection. Definitely worth reading!
Logan Gregory is just as described. Evil, horribly vile, bordering on cruel. But he’s also gorgeous, deliciously dirty and will melt you right into a puddle of googly eyes and sweet fantasies when you see him with his little girl. What a horrible combination for any woman’s poor heart and panties, they don’t stand a chance. I mean who can blame you really , not surprising if the lines start to blur. So, He laid down the rules, he drew the lines and made sure there was no room for errors or misunderstandings. But who’s to say… would he be able to follow his own rules? The green eyed-monster is an ugly thing that gets a hold of us all! What about Emma ?!?! What would you do if you saw glimpses of a good guy beneath the deplorable guy he wanted you to see? When secrets come out, will Logan lose everything he didn’t know he even wanted?
Emma was just looking for a fresh start. She came to Brighton U because no one knew her, or her past. The pretty princess exiled to escape her past. She just wanted to live a drama free existence. She needed money. Logan Gregory offered her a nanny job with additional job responsibilities after hours for more money that she could imagine. But was it worth the money or the risk to her heart? She had no one to help her. His daughter was adorable so that part of the job was a no-brainer. She wanted to care for Chelsea and do all the fun things that that entailed. But what would she do about some of the more unorthodox job responsibilities he was asking of her? It was obvious her and Logan were immensely attracted to each other, so why not enter into an agreement that would benefit them both as long as feelings didn’t get in the way?
Emma had been through a lot in her past and my heart broke for her. It wasn’t fair how she had been treated and left to deal with the fall-out of what had happened in the past. I loved her character though. She was strong and resilient. The way she handled Logan was nothing short of perfection. She was sassy and verbally sparred with him. It was hot and filled with sexual tension. I loved that she stood up to him. She was the perfect balance for this intimidating businessman.
But how will our sweet and sassy Nanny handle it when she feels like the past is repeating itself?
Chelsea was the absolute cutest kid ever. I lived for any scene where she was present. She was a feisty little mini Logan and she was already putting boys in their place. Lol This book has everything you could possibly want.

– Dirty Talk for Days! Logan is Alpha AF!! Hotter than biscuits and gravy y’all!
Cliffhanger Warning- No Cliffy. Perfect HEA
This book features characters from Cherry Bomb, but can be read as a standalone.
Midnight Kiss is a fast- paced page-turner, I absolutely adore the characters – well most of them – and their different attitudes.
SOME SPOILERS
Logan is a single dad, one look at Emma and he’s in lust, she looks like his past, but so different in her demeanour. He’s a busy man and has no intentions of ever falling in love again.
He needs a nanny and a no-strings relationship and Emma fits the bill, job contacts are signed, so what can go wrong?
Emma run from her old life, moved miles from home, goes to uni, found herself a job at the steakhouse, and that’s where she meets him, Logan (AKA the devil) he’s sexy, dirty- mouthed, has big ass attitude, but he’s also an amazing father. For some reason he wants her as a nanny and in his bed. She needs the money, so it’s a no-brainer, plus his daughter is adorable. Easy money, great sex, somewhere to live, great idea, right?
When all is revealed will the end up with an HEA? or has she really made a deal with a devil?
What can I say about Midnight Kiss? Alpha hero? Independent heroine with a timid outer shell? Single-dad? Age-gap? Sexual tension out of the gate? Yes to all of the above! Emma moved to Brighton for a fresh start, but like most college students she starts to struggle for money since school will be letting out for the summer. When the town devil, Logan Gregory offers her the position of nannying his three (almost four) year old daughter, Emma thinks she’s found the perfect gig. When our hero adds a few strings to the contract, she’s unsure of what to do. Logan, however, can be very persuasive. What he doesn’t expect is to find someone who can hold her own against him.
I can’t tell you how much I recommend this book or Cherry Bomb, which is the first in this series (both are standalones)! If you haven’t read Carmel Rhodes, definitely pick these books up!!
After Cherry Bomb I was dying to see what was going on with these two (you can read this as a stand-alone but Cash and Cherry are amazing so totally read that too) and Carmel did not disappoint. Here we have Emma and Logan. Emma has moved to a new place to leave her past behind and has reinvented herself in a way, she just wants to keep her head down. Enter Logan, who for no apparent reason hates Emma on first sight (we get a hint of why in Cherry Bomb which shows them first meeting). Logan is an asshole for sure but we learn there are reasons he is that way. Things become complicated when Logan needs a temporary nanny for his adorable 3 year old daughter Chelsea (I seriously love this kid) and Cherry suggests Emma who desperately needs the money and is an early childhood education major. If that isn’t enough there’s also something else he wants from her and she can’t resist for a few reasons. I floved this book so hard. The combustible chemistry between the two, the hoooot sex is, getting to know about both of their pasts, and watching the lines blur between what their agreement entails and what they start feeling for each other make for an amazing read. I highly suggest you drop everything and one-click this baby. I will anxiously be awaiting the next book about two certain somebodies you get a few hints about!
Midnight Kiss follows Logan and Emma after their one night stand in an alley. When Logan proposition Emma to not only be his live in nanny for daughter Chelsea but also have sex with him when she asleep and they steal midnight kisses. Logan and Emma fall for each other but when Emma finds out Logan wasnt being to honest, Logan puts it his feelings all on the line for her to forgive him and become the family he always wanted.
I knew I’d love Midnight Kiss before I even read it, but I didn’t know how much I’d fall in love with Logan and Emma until I read the first page. I was dying for their story from the moment they appeared in Cherry Bomb and Carmel didn’t disappoint. This book is full of scorching hot chemistry that will steam up your kindle, and have you fanning yourself while drinking a cool drink of water. Not only is there heat, but unexpected tender moments too.
I love everything about this Brighton world full of taboo romances. Don’t even get me started on Logan’s little girl. She’s hands down the most adorable little thing, and is sure to melt your heart.
Received this ARC from Author for Honest Review.
I Give this Book a 4/5 Star Rating.
HEA(?): Yes!
Romance: 3.5-4/5
Heat: 4/5
Drama: 3.5-4ish/5
Suspense: 3.5-4/5
The reason why I give this book a 4/5 rather than a 5/5 is because the suspense section was a bit obvious because some specific questions were avoided, which kinda gave things away so when things were revealed.. I wasn’t as surprised.
Other than that I really enjoyed this book and I’m glad the child was in the spotlight as well and the moments were extremely precious!
I cannot wait for a certain Father’s Book!!
Do you know the books that grab you by the heart and you’re having the little hearts coming out of your eyes gif, that is THIS book!! SWOON-WORTHY. This book gives you all the feels. I fell in love with this story and family. So many sweet scenes and then the steamy scenes are so hot. 1-Click this book because you will love it. Must Read for 2019!!
