Book Description

BOOK 2: Prepare for seduction as Lara Adrian unleashes a dark new breed of vampire.

Product Description

With one reckless, irresistible kiss, Dante binds Tess to himself for eternity.

He comes to her more dead than alive, a huge black-clad stranger mortally wounded and rapidly losing blood. As she struggles to save him, vet 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. But in a single erotically-charged moment Tess is plunged into his world - a shifting, shadowed place where bands of Rogue vampires stalk the night, cutting a swathe of terror.Haunted by visions of a dark future, Dante lives and fights like there is no tomorrow. Tess is a complication he does not need - and yet his touch has awakened in her hidden gifts and desires and a hunger she never knew she possessed - and bonded by blood, Dante and Tess must work together to overcome the deadliest of enemies.

.... in which case Lara Adrian is being very flattering to the likes of Lyn Viehl, Sherrilyn Kenyon and other who write about the good vampires vs the bad vampires.

I think I have read the story out of sync - I should have read 'Kiss of Midnight' first - but that didn't detract from the story in any way.

Dante is a warrior - determined to protect humans and the rest of his Brethren from the Rogues. A new drug has been manufactured turning the good guys into potential Rogues. With the aid of Chase, a member of the Darklord's, Dante's job is to find the dealer of 'Crimson', put him out of business and stop the tide turning in the Rogue's favour.

Tess is a dedicated veterinarian with a secret - an ability to heal that she feels is a curse following an incident when she is younger. Her attraction to Dante is unexpected, powerful, and pre-destined. But can she accept all that he is? And will they have the opportunity to see if their destiny can move forward together...

I enjoyed reading it, but don't expect anything fantastically original. Lynn Viehl has it covered with her Brotherhood, and in a sexier fashion too. Nice to read, and happy to get the rest, but not necessarily keepers for me.

Kiss of Midnight didn't wow me, but it did hook my interest through some unique plot elements. I liked the pacing of Ms. Adrian's writing and the world she'd created was just different enough for me to want to explore it more as well. By the end of this series' first book, I could smell a truly great story right around the corner.

Dante, a Breed vampire warrior, is gravely injured one night after discovering a disturbing new addition to the war against the Rogues, vampires that have given over to bloodlust and kill without restraint. He finds his way to the office of veterinary doctor Tess Culver, where he thinks he's found the perfect solution to his blood loss in the beautiful woman. Intending to only take what he needs and see her mind wiped of the incident, Dante's plans go horribly wrong afterwards, when he learns a horrifying fact about the good doctor. He wishes after that he'd never taken her blood, but once he has, he can't wipe her sweet taste from his mind. Driven by more than just Tess, Dante's visions of the future soon lead him to believe she is part of his destiny, whether he wants her to be or not. In turn, Dante's embrace awakens in Tess desires she never knew she possessed and special, secret talents of her own begin to make sense after the strange warrior's appearance in her life. As she becomes further involved with the mysterious man, she soon find herself in the middle of a war, and a passion she cannot resist.

Kiss of Crimson was the "start" to this series that I was waiting for. Characters--true, heartfelt characters--shine through in this one and that was the glue I was looking for. I clearly read a good, unique plot in Kiss of Midnight and saw that carried through very well in this one. But Dante and Tess, they are where the magic lies in this installment. Dante's inner torment, his visions of the future, was a good solid conflict between him and Tess, but his passion for her kept the romantic angle flaring bright over and over throughout. Their first real romantic encounter, the sculpture show, was such an enigmatic insight to the sexy Dante and solidly hooked me into believing their romance would be rewarding to read. Tess was a heroine everyone wants--admirable, heroic in her own right and no dishrag. Like I suspect all of Adrian's heroines will have, she possesses her own talents that set her just apart enough from Dante that she ahs something to stand on her own with. And that's where Adrian deserves some definite applause, giving her heroines their own special voice amongst a rugged alpha group of vampires. Then, when hero and heroine begin to come together (and I speak of more than just the body, folks) what makes them both unique in turn makes them as a couple all that more special. Once again, a solid pacing of plot and revealing of more elements in the war, with plenty of great tidbits of secondary characters to keep me hooked for book three, Midnight Awakening, about Breed Warrior Tegan, which releases December '07. Great stuff, Ms. Adrian and looking forward to more.

Gripping easy read 12 April 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having read the first in the series, Kiss of Midnight, I really wanted to follow what happened to the characters that I had been introduced to. In Kiss of Crimson, I was not disappointed.

Dante's character is explored, along with his fears, hopes and desires. He meets a breedmate, Tess, and the story hurtles along from there. Its a fast moving, well written, easy read. Its not deep and meaningful, it won't change your life, but Ms Adrian has created a world that is highly believable and engrossing. These are basically romance novels set against the backdrop of vampirism (tackled very differently to some authors). If you like romance, fantasy, vampire stories and nothing too taxing on the old brain cells, this is the book for you.

I have enjoyed both of Ms Adrian's books as light, entertaining reads and would recommend them to anyone in need of a bit of escapism for a few hours.
