Now, I’ve read A LOT of shifter romance books and honestly, many of them fall short. They concentrate predominantly on the romance and the mate bond and there’s rarely any real substance to the story.
Midnight Touch is the exception!
While Shaun and Cassie’s romance is electrifying and you can’t help but become invested in their relationship, the underlying story connecting everything together is what pulls you into their world and keeps you there.
With her previous co-authored books we’ve come to expect action, drama and fantastically written characters from L.Ann and she doesn’t disappoint. Her debut venture into solo authordom (yes, that’s a word, maybe) is a roaring success!
This is my first read by L. Ann and I did enjoy it. It was a little on the slow side but I didn’t lose interest because of it. There was much to learn about what was happening in the small town and it became more sinister as the story progressed. I really liked Shaun and felt for him and all that he had truly endured. The book didn’t completely wrap up, though Shaun and Cassie did find their “happy for the moment”. I have a few questions that will hopefully be answered in the other books. I will read the remaining books because I want the culprits caught and judgment dished out!
An extraordinary read! The cover is what first caught my attention but the story itself captivated me until the very end. The story line was thoroughly written with just the right amount of passion, action and drama to keep readers engaged while leaving things open at the end to continue the story in the next book of the series. The characters are all complex and each were well written that no matter how little of a role they played you still got a great sense of who they are and wanted to know more about them. As for the main couple, Shaun puts off some laid back rock star vibes… of course with the addition of the ability to shift into a wolf! Cassie is a sweet and submissive girl who’s trying to mend a broken heart when their worlds collide and they quickly fall for one another. The chemistry between Cassie and Shaun is raw and powerful. Every aspect of this book was beyond exceptional that I wish I could rate it above 5 stars and I can’t wait to dig my paws into book 2 of the series!
I may need to eat my own words “I don’t like books with shifters.” Not sure if L. Ann has magical powers or if she is such a good writer that she made me stop thinking about the wolves as something surreal. I found myself pleading with Cassie to forgive Shaun and give him a chance. The storyline was captivating and the characters were very entertaining. This book was like nothing I’ve ever read before and I’m so happy I took a chance to read something out of my comfort zone.
The pack is relocating to a small country community and Shaun has been put in charge of readying the new sanctuary. Imagine his surprise when he finds a girl in his bedroom and her scent is intoxicating. He wants her, but what about his wolf? Her ex has done a number on her, all of her self confidence is gone, she apologises when she has done nothing wrong. Shaun soon has her in his palm, but she has him making rash decisions.
Cassie just found her boyfriend in a compromising position with her flatmate. She flees and runs into the arms of the new owner of her family home. Did I mention he was naked and wet? There is something about him that she can’t deny, he has a spectacular body and she is captivated by his tattoos. Her ex is not taking the breakup lightly, he publicly blames Shaun for coming between them. Things become serious when she’s involved in an accident and agrees to Shaun’s terms, but he hasn’t been totally upfront with her.
Wow this story surprised me. I’m not sure what I was expecting but I devoured this story. I love the pack dynamics these three Alpha’s have. Shaun and Cassie have such chemistry you just can’t put the book down. Now to read Deacon’s story.
I didn’t think this would really be my thing, but gave it a go for Book Club….. I could not put it down !!!!!!
I absolutely loved this book, I was sucked in big time- hook line and sinker as L Ann had me captivated with Shaun and Cassie’s story. Its got it all, mystery, murder and lots of hot and sexy times as Shaun claims his mate. I was blown away as the story evolved revealing who The Hunter was… OMG!!! I’ve down loaded the next two books and are dying to read more.
Great Story & Audible Listen 4.5 Captivating Stars
Midnight Touch
Midnight Pack, Book 1
By: L. Ann
Narrated by: Mike Peterman
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held it captive to the very end. This is my first book by L. Ann, she is a gifted author with a great writing style and creative mind. The world dynamics and characters she created are imaginative, complex and well developed. Her storylines are original and interesting, I liked her spin on shifters and how she made it all seem realistic and relatable. Cassie walks in on her boyfriend and roommate in a compromising position, she flees and runs to her former home, before it was sold it was her place to go think. She finds a hidden key and enters. Shaun is showering in his pack’s new residence when Cassie walks in. Unsure who she is he goes on the defense, but he soon finds out why she is there, he also finds out there is a spark between them. I really liked Shaun, he has a good heart and is great with and for Cassie. While they both had their own issues, Shaun knew what he wanted, it took Cassie a little longer to come on board. This is one action packed story, I loved how everything played out, in addition to the start of a great romance there is plenty of drama, angst, thrilling suspense and twists, not only with the hunter and who it turns out to be but also with Cassie and her family. I adore the alpha male shifters, the camaraderie between them and how they look out for each other. This is the start of a great series, I am looking forward to what comes next in the series. Thank you L. Ann for this great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Mike Peterman is a terrific narrator and voice performer. He brings these characters to life, gives them their voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. He did a great job projecting the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen
I love it! The betrayal, lust, love, feat, pain and suspense in here is amazing! Can’t wait to see what the rest of this pack will have for us in the future!
The Midnight Pack have left their pack mark on my heart. Shaun, Deacon, Cormac, Asher, Jaden….all of them

Shaun has been to hell and back, but he survived what would have killed most. Now he is headed to a rural town to start setting up the new Sanctuary for the Pack. He needs this, he needs the fresh air, he needs to clear his thoughts. He needs a fresh start…it just so happens he is about to get his fresh start…in Cassie’s childhood home.
Cassie’s father died recently, her mother has sold their childhood home, and now…Cassie has just walked in on her boyfriend of two years screwing her roommate on the kitchen table… Cassie runs out of the apartment and goes to the only place she can think of…her old childhood home.
Cassie just needs to escape, thinking the house is empty, she finds the hidden key… what she doesn’t expect to find is a hot man in the shower….
From here things only get better! I was surprised that I instantly fell for Shaun, hated Sam, and liked Cassi. These characters are not one dimensional either, you truly get a feel for them, their pain, trauma, hurt etc. This is not your typical shifter romance, this book puts hunters versus shifters, and someone very evil trying to get to the Midnight Pack. This hunter, is not playing by the regular playbook. Blood will be spilled, wills will be tested, and people will get hurt.
This book will keep you guessing, who is the bad guy, why are they targeting the Midnight Pack, what will happen to the pack? Will everyone survive? Who will go through hell? This book will keep you reading well into the night.
The chemistry between Cassie and Shaun is HOTT! But their road to an HEA is going to be riddled with trouble. Your heart will break, you will cheer, and tears will probably be shed. No one is safe…Warning: There are dark themes in this book.
This was a unique story, without the usual tropes. I love unique and fresh, but of course that comes with a price sometimes….and that price may be a theme that forces you to step outside your comfort zone! There are some tough topics, and L. Ann, will take your comfort zone and obliterate. I personally think she feeds off crushing our comfort zones.
You will fall in love with the secondary characters were just great too. I am going to be honest, I have already read the entire series because I fell for the secondary characters as much as the Main Characters. Deacon is a comedian and had me cracking up…but there is also much more to him.
And Mac, is just wow! So what are you going to do? Keep reading reviews? No, pick up this book and start the series before the Midnight Run comes out!!! If you love shifters with hearts and are devoted to their mates….this is so your book!!! Fully recommend!
I really enjoyed Shaun and Cassie’s tale. It’s fast paced, suspenseful, sweet with a good amount of steam.
Betrayal and mourning bring Cassie to Shaun’s door. From the moment they meet there’s an instant connection between the two. There’s a lot of serious issues that come up as their relationship develops and they get to know each other better but they always seem to maintain a playfulness between them that’s really sweet.
I look forward to finding out what happens in the next book. (4.5)
Midnight Touch is the first book that I’ve read by L Ann but it won’t be the last. Great story line and characters. I enjoyed Shaun and Cassie’s story and thankfully book 2 is already released so I’m moving right along.
I loved this whole series. This is the first in the series. Shaun’s story. You will fall in love with him and Cassie. This book is action packed and will draw on your emotions. You won’t be able to put it down. This series is a must read!
First book by this author and it will NOT be my last! Loved the characters and storyline!
Cassie’s heart is shattered when she walks in on her boyfriend cheating on her with her trusted roommate. She takes off from her apartment and starts running to the one place she has always felt secure, her family’s lodge in the country. It isn’t until she reaches the driveway that she recalls that her mother no longer resides there and has sold the property. Believing the place to be empty she decides to check the house out believing it may bring a sense of normalcy. Unfortunately, the place is not empty which she quickly learns when she walks in on the devastatingly handsome, and quite naked, Shaun.
These two characters along with many of the secondary ones are well developed and easy to connect with. The story is filled with intrigue and action. A true page-turner with a fantastic world that I can’t wait to revisit. Highly Recommended!
First time reading this author and if she keeps writing like this I am a fan for life. Hooks you from first to last page.This is a great paranormal book. Chemistry between Shaun and Cassie is fantastic,secondary characters are great also.Well written,twist and turns I did not see coming,smoking hot sexy scenes,humor where needed,emotional as well. I bought second book before I had gotten halfway done and was looking to buy more.
This is the first in a new series and the first I have read by this author. I was not disappointed. This is a great paranormal shifter story. Shaun is an Alpha wolf shifter and has had a hard past. Cassie stumbles upon him in her old family home. I love that Shaun is so protective and tender with Cassie. They make a perfect couple but have their share of trouble to work through. I highly recommend this.
I received a copy of this from the author Thoughts and opinions expressed are mine alone.
My first time reading a book from this author and I’m glad I did.
This was a wonderful and entertaining introduction to this series. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters. I will definitely be continuing this series.
This book is an entertainingly great PNR romance story. There is nothing I didn’t love about the story, characters or the romance. There was violence, danger and twists you won’t see coming. The author will keep you biting your nails in anticipation for more. If you love supernatural romance you will LOVE this book.
I made the mistake of reading this on a night that I was really tired and had to work the next day. I thought, I’ll just get started, read a few pages, then go to sleep. Not! Within two pages, I was hooked and WIDE AWAKE lol. I’ve read a lot of paranormal romance shifter books, but this one was different, in a very good way. Every time I thought I had the storyline figured out-nope. Total twist that I didn’t see coming! I’m telling you, I could not put this book down. And when I was forced to put it down, I couldn’t stop thinking of the characters and what was happening when I left the book. I’m so glad I found this author and will definitely be reading more of her work.
I loved and enjoyed this book from the very first word until the very last word.
Can’t wait to read book 2 about Gemma and Deacon. I really hope there will be books about the whole pack especially Cormac and Isabelle.
