Book Description

1 Aug 2010 Midnight Breed (Book 8)
AT THE CROSSROADS OF DEATH AND DESIRE, A WOMAN TASTES A PLEASURE NO MORTAL IS MEANT TO SURVIVE.
 
In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand—and control—a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.

As she recovers under Brock’s care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order’s mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself—until a secret from Brock’s past and Jenna’s own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Midnight Breed Series Book 8 15 Nov 2010
By Sarah Gibson TOP 50 REVIEWER TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Taken by Midnight is the 8th book in the Midnight Breed series so although this review won't contain spoilers for this story it may include information from previous books. You might want to skip reading this review if you're not up to date with the series. If you haven't discovered this series yet then it is one I would highly recommend, it is by far my favorite paranormal romance series & the books have continued to improve with every new release with Taken by Midnight now my new favorite book in the series.

This story continues right after the ending of Shades of Midnight with Jenna having just been rescued from the Ancient who was holding her prisoner in her home in Alaska. She has been taken back to the Order's compound in Boston to recover and is being cared for by her best friend Alex and the warrior Brock. Brock has the ability to take away people's pain by absorbing it into himself which is something that Jenna has been badly in need of during her recovery. Since her escape from the Ancient Jenna has been going through some surprising physical changes, nobody knows quite what is happening to her and it is up to the Order to try and solve the mystery.

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I'm a massive fan of this series, it was my first introduction to the world of paranormal romance but remains a firm favorite. People tend to compare this series to JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series and although there are some similarities I only really found that noticeable in the first couple of books. These are both series that I love but for me the Midnight Breed series comes out on top in any direct comparison. Lara Adrian writes great stories with fabulous romance and and interesting, suspenseful story arc that has had me hooked from the beginning. I love the fact that both the heros and the heroines have important parts to play in the overall story and we get to see all of the previous characters make regular appearances.

Jenna is probably my favorite of Lara's heroines, she is a strong character who has been through a lot but has managed to survive. She's a tough cookie who has always had to work extra hard in her job as a police officer to prove she is as good as any man and she doesn't like to show any weakness or want to have to rely on anyone for help. Although she has a tough outer shell she is much softer underneath and could really use a bit of looking after and Brock is the ideal man for the job. Both of them have suffered from losses in their lives and understand how the other is feeling - they really are the perfect match for each other.

Brock is a newer member of the Order and one that we hadn't been given much information about until the last book in the series. We know him as a tough warrior who loves trading snarky comments with Kade but in Taken by Midnight we get to see a much more sensitive side to him. He is so caring towards Jenna and some of the scenes between them will melt your heart. The passion between them is intense from the start (the shower scene is particularly memorable!) but neither of them are looking for long term commitment. Their relationship develops in a completely believable way and I loved watching Jenna and Brock together.

As for the ongoing war between the Order and Dragos things are really hotting up so expect plenty of action on that front. We get the answers to some of the questions raised in previous books but there are also new questions raised & I'm particularly looking forward to finding out more about what is happening with Jenna and the effect that may have in the future. I enjoyed the build up for Hunters book which is coming next, he is a really interesting character and I'm looking forward to meeting the woman who will get under his skin. There were some great scenes with Hunter and Brock but I especially loved one scene with Hunter & Mira where we get to see a new side to the aloof warrior. It seems like a really long wait until Deeper than Midnight!

Overall I think any fans of the series will love Taken by Midnight, it is the perfect combination of suspense and romance that is both sweet and erotic. I loved getting to see snippets of the Order's daily lives and spending time with the characters from the previous books but that didn't take anything away from the relationship between Brock & Jenna. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book & would recommend this series to all fans of paranormal romance.

I have enjoyed this series although I disagree with another reviewer that its better than JR Ward's BDB.... (it's all subjective though). This series, unlike Ward's, seems a bit more formulaic and the characters don't pull me in like most of the BDB or even the main character's in Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series. I dont think the writing is as good as NS or JRW either but for some light escapism, it's a bit of fun. IMO, it's a lighter series with less complex character development than the other series by NS and JRW.

I would say though that the earlier books in the series - particularly the first one and Dante's story were the strongest in these series. I found this one to be one of the weaker ones. Unlike others, I'm not that anxious for Hunter's book - I dont feel like he's been built up enought for me to be that interested yet - but I'm open to being pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story from the Midnight Breed series 28 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read and enjoyed all of the previous books in the series and I would recommend that they are read from book one on. They are well worth it. I originally reviewed book 4 on Amazon while considering buying it, and took advice from the reviewers to read the series in order and so bought book one first. Having now read book 8, and with 9 and 10 on my kindle at the ready, you could say I'm well and truly hooked.

This one kept me entertained and captivated in the same way all the others have. I won't go into detail on the plot as other reviews have already done so, i just want to say that I loved it and as with all of the other books in the series so far, I was sorry that it ended because I was enjoying it so much. I will be sad when I come to the end of the series.

I haven't read any books by JR Ward as mentioned by other reviewers so I cannot compare.
