Romance Paranormal | Romance Contemporary

Ever since their affair ended years ago, Julian, the Nightkind King, and Melisande, the daughter of the Light Fae Queen, have tried to put their past behind them simply by keeping distance between them. She had not forgotten what it felt to be the recipient of MIDNIGHT'S KISS but was going on with her life. Until she is kidnapped by Justine, a powerful Vampyre of the Nightkind council, and someone who is at war with Julian.

Positive that Julian is not about to come to her rescue Melly is determined to rescue herself. To her shock Julian does come to give himself up to save her but they both end up as captives. Armed with only their wits and anger Melly and Julian must work together to escape. Is it possible to work through their complicated history ... and what about the fiery passion, that neither had managed to completely extinguish, that is ready to blaze out of control? As they race to stop Justine and save the demesne will the past be forgiven and forgotten or will it destroy them again?

You will find yourself completely mesmerized by MIDNIGHT'S KISS. Author Thea Harrison transports readers back to her Elder Races world and tosses us into the action from the very first word and it is non-stop to the last. This is definitely Julian and Melly's story but where Night's Honor ends this one begins and we get to see the interaction these two have with each other and those from the past book. Xavier and Tess are back along with a number of others that avid readers of Ms. Harrison will recognize.

Even Carling and Rune have their moment in this storyline. I couldn't wait to find out what had broken this couple up all those years ago and when I did I knew immediately what had happened and silently patted myself on the back when they realized the truth, because I was right. I am afraid I would not have been quite as forgiving as she was toward the perpetrator of the lie but ... it was understandable and fitting for Melly's sweet nature. Don't get me wrong Melly is sweet and forgiving but she is also a fighter and given the second chance with Julian she will fight for him as well as fight by his side. Julian has his bad side, which after losing Melly had gotten worse, but some of it comes from the fact that it was time to take a stand and it was remarkable when he does just that with his maker and stands up to the council of his kind. I hated to see MIDNIGHT'S KISS end. This one is on my TRA shelf and I can't wait for more.

SUMMARY

In the latest Novel of the Elder Races, two souls who have long buried their passions are about to be consumed…

Ever since their scorching affair ended years ago, Julian, the Nightkind King, and Melisande, daughter of the Light Fae Queen, have tried to put the past behind them—and distance between them. But when a war breaks out between Julian and Justine, a powerful Vampyre of the Nightkind council, they find themselves thrown together under treacherous circumstances…

Kidnapped as leverage against Julian, Melly is convinced that her former lover won’t be rushing to her rescue. But when Julian gives himself up to save her, they both end up Justine’s captives. Armed only with their wits and their anger, Melly and Julian must work together to escape. But will they be able to ignore their complicated history, or will the fiery passion that once burned them blaze again?
