Photographer Gabrielle Maxwell feels eyes watching her in the crowded dance club. Searching for the source of the visual touch, she meets the gaze of a dark haired, extremely virile looking man who ignites her senses. After one brief glimpse, he is gone. Feeling tired and almost letdown, Gabrielle calls it a night and heads for home. Instead of reaching the anticipated solitude of her residence, Gabrielle is witness to a brutal murder. Being a good citizen, she frantically reports it to the local police only to have them suspect her of making a false report because of lack of evidence. With patronizing words and tone, they promise to send an officer to her home to speak with her. Unfortunately, Gabrielle has no idea the can of worms she has just opened.

Lucan Thorne senses he is just a step away from the rogue vampires he has spent most of his immortal life fighting. A Breed warrior, he and a few trusted comrades spend their nights searching out and eliminating vampires who have succumbed to blood lust. It is on one such night that Lucan's eyes meet those of Gabrielle's in a crowded club. Instantly aroused and inhaling her rich scent, Lucan begins a hunt of his own - a hunt that leads him straight to a glossy-haired temptress. There is a part of Lucan yearning to claim her while another part wants to keep her as far away as possible. When danger begins to follow Gabrielle, Lucan's skills as a warrior are put to the test. But failure is not an option and Lucan will strive to keep her safe at all costs.

KISS OF MIDNIGHT caught my eye months ago when a fellow reviewer showed me the amazon.com link. Eagerly waiting for what I envisioned to be a fantastic read, I resigned myself to reading the excerpt over and over.

It pleases me to report that KISS OF MIDNIGHT is everything I wanted it to be, and then some! I was introduced to a conclave of Breed warriors whose loyalty to each other is only surpassed by their loyalty to their breedmates. Lucan, the hero of KISS OF MIDNIGHT, is the indisputable leader and I could sense his allegiance to his men as well as his achingly tender feelings for Gabrielle.

KISS OF MIDNIGHT grabbed me by the heart and hung on tight. Lara Adrian weaves an enchanting tale with KISS OF MIDNIGHT; a tale that I hope she continues. I can envision stories about each of the Breed warriors introduced in this novel. I am happy to report that KISS OF MIDNIGHT'S sequel, KISS OF CRIMSON, is to be released less than one month after KISS OF MIDNIGHT. Look out readers, because I plan to be the first in line to purchase this next installment!
