Product Description

I enjoy carnal pleasures like any mortal man, but six hundred years of existence have taught me loss. Best to stay away from people and save myself the heartache. Then I arrive at the notorious London brothel Maison Rouge, and my life, such as it is, will never be the same again.

Ivy Dearing, daughter of the infamous Madam, has requested my assistance. Two of her friends have been murdered, and she is determined to find their killer. I know better than to agree to help, yet Ivy is impossible to resist. No stranger to vampires, she has awakened desires within me that are as potent as my thirst for blood—desires that can only be satisfied by Ivy herself. But when there is another murder, it is all I can do to protect the woman I love from an evil more powerful than the undead . . .



About the Author

My husband says I have the best job in the world. The only thing that could top being paid to do what I love is if Avon Books decided that all their authors had to be hand-fed chocolate by Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, or John Cusack. But my husband probably wouldn't think so much of my job then, so instead I'll let him feed me chocolate and go on being forever thankful that I have the best job—and husband—in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy vampire thriller!, October 29, 2007
TAKEN BY THE NIGHT is the third installment in USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Smith's Brotherhood of Blood series. It features sexy vampire Saint (who is anything but saintly) and the beautiful Ivy Dearing.

While stopping for what he plans as a brief respite at the London brothel that is a safe refuge for the brothers, Saint encounters Ivy Dearing, the daughter of the infamous Madame, and no stranger to vampires. She asks him to help her in finding the person responsible for brutally murdering two of her friends. While investigating these and more 'Jack the Ripper' type killings, Saint finds it harder and harder to resist the tempting Ivy. She gets under his skin, but will he lose his heart?

Saint and Ivy's story is an utterly compelling and sexy adventure that takes place right at the turn of the century. It puts together a strong, sensual heroine and a dark, confident and incredibly sexy vampire (that Kathryn Smith is a master at writing!). I loved that Saint is no stranger to love and isn't afraid to embrace it again with the right woman. This book is another keeper and has me thoroughly looking forward to the next book in this exciting series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Taken by the Story!!, January 29, 2008
By Chickie (Canada) - See all my reviews
Kathryn Smith does it again with `Taken by the Night', third in her riveting `Brotherhood of Blood' series. Here we have another entrancing story written in that darkly seductive voice that is Kathryn Smith's alone. The hero,`Saint' (so aptly yet so conversely named) is a hero to die for, a man marked both literally and figuratively by his past, with no real hope of a future worth living. Ivy Dearing is a heroine readers can identify with on so many levels, and because of that, will want root for. The dialogue between them is not to be missed-- sharp and rich and often suprisingly brutal in its honesty.

The scope of the realm created by Ms. Smith for the `Brotherhood of Blood' series-- the world of the Victorian Vampire-- is as alluring as it was with books 1 and 2 of the series (`Be Mine Tonight' and `Night of the Huntress'). Rooted in reality yet skewed by the unreality of the 'rules' governing the members of the 'Brotherhood of Blood', Kathryn Smith deftly makes the unbelievable suddenly much more plausible. With `Taken by the Night', Ms. Smith transports us back to Victorian London-- the mysterious twilight edge of it, where shadows and contradictions abound. Here she creates with gossamer lightness a web of a story that enraptures the reader won't let go until the very end-- and really, not even then...

`Taken by the Night' is book 3 in this mesmeric series, and there is much yet to be resolved for the long-suffering `Brotherhood of Blood'. The stakes are rising for with each book, and I for one can't wait to see where Ms. Smith takes us with book four!

3.0 out of 5 stars Flawed but Sexy Victorian Vampire Romance (C+ Grade), December 1, 2007
By C. Garrabrant "Katiebabs" (Bloomfield, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
  
Kathryn Smith is an excellent historical romance author. In Taken by the Night she has written a sexy and seductive hero in that of Saint, a lonely vampire who roams the world, until he meets Ivy Dearing. He has known Ivy ever since she was a small child. But his feelings for her have changed. Ivy's mother runs a brothel and their employees are being murdered savagely by a Jack the Ripper copy cat. Ivy asks Saint to help her find the murderer, even though at first she acts like she can't stand him. Well, that is until Saint has a habit of kissing her senseless. Ivy quickly changes her opinion of him fast.
The sex scenes between Saint and Ivy are shocking, erotic and oh so good.
But overall this story is a bit grating. We have yet another murder mystery where the spunky heroine must solve the crime and where she may also be a victim of the evil killer. Plus the fact that Ivy snipes at Saint every chance she gets until Saint shows how great he can be with that naughty mouth of his, changes her mind.
Also there is something a bit off putting that Saint has always though of Ivy as a small child, seeing as he watched her grow up and now wants her in the ways a man of his nature can only want a woman like herself.
But if you have enjoyed Smith's other two vampire books in this on-going series, you will probably enjoy Taken by the Night. Overall and okay read and I must say that Saint is one incredible character. Ivy on the other hand is better when she is not harping on Saint, which leads to some nice bedroom love between them both.
