Midnight Breed Series

Oh man, I loved this book!  She painted a spectactular image of Lucan Thorne and his fight with bloodlust.  The way he changed into a vampire left my own senses reeling.  Her way with words is amazing.  Lucan and Gabrielle's passion was compelling.  I couldn't put this book down!

From the back: He comes to her more dead than alive, a towering black-clad stranger riddled with bullets and rapidly losing blood. As she struggles to save him, veterinarian Tess Culver is unaware that the man calling himself Dante is no man at all, but one of the Breed, vampire warriors engaged in a desperate battle.

"Fueled by pain and rage over a shattering betrayal, the warrior Rio has pledged his life to the war against the Rogues. He will let nothing stand in his way-least of all a mortal woman with the power to expose the entire vampire race. For an ancient evil has been awakened, and a stunning darkness is on the rise.

For journalist Dylan Alexander, it began with the discovery of a hidden tomb.  Suddenly she is at the center of a gathering storm of violence and secrets. But nothing is as dangerous as the scarred, lethally seductive man who rises from the shadows to draw her into his world of dark desire and endless night.  Here she is powerless to resist Rio's touch, even as she uncovers a shocking link to her own past. Now Dylan must choose: Leave Rio's midnight realm, or risk it all for the man who has shown her true passion and the infinite pleasures of the heart. . . ."

Fueled by pain and rage over a shattering betrayal, the warrior Rio has pledged his life to the war against the Rogues. He will let nothing stand in his way--least of all a mortal woman with the power to expose the entire vampire race. But now an ancient evil has been awakened, and a stunning darkness is on the rise.

     This is the third book in Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series and I am still so enjoying it.  The Breeds are very much warriors, but when they meet up with their Breedmate, lives change.  
   Tegan has been suffering for centuries; his wife was abducted and returned as a minion and he's never forgiven himself for not protecting her.  For him, it's much easier to live with hating himself than to risk anyone else, or to risk letting anyone close to him ~ he's become the ultimate loner.
     But after meeting Elise Chase, he's not been able to forget her.  Elise herself is suffering:  Five years ago her husband was murdered by Rogues and only months ago, her only son was also lost to them.  Emotionally she is barely surviving, her only solace?  Vengeance against those that have taken everything from her... but at what cost? 
   Adventure, vampire, vengeance, warriors, love, sexy romances... these books have all this and much, much more. If you haven't read one of Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed books, do yourself a favour and check them out.
