Lazaro Archer has been an intriguing and mysterious presence in the Midnight Breed series so far. In TEMPTED BY MIDNIGHT, Lara Adrian takes this brooding hero and places him in front of his greatest temptation -- and his greatest fear.
Breedmate Melena Walsh has her sights set on the man who has saved her life before. She knows she owes him her life, but Lazaro remains distant and cold, never giving in to her kindness until a surprise attack threatens both their lives.
Action-packed and infused with so much sexual tension you think you'll burst, Adrian takes the best parts of her Midnight Breed series and amplifies it in this novella. Don't be fooled by the short length, Adrian definitely wields her words in a way that is effective and stunning. This is easily one of the better novellas I've read this year.
TEMPTED BY MIDNIGHT is thrilling and seductive, reminding me so much of why I adore this series.
Once, they lived in secret alongside mankind. Now, emerged
from the shadows, the Breed faces enemies on both
sidesβhuman and vampire alike. No one knows that better than
Lazaro Archer, one of the eldest, most powerful of his kind.
His beloved Breedmate and family massacred by a madman
twenty years ago, Lazaro refuses to open his heart again.
Sworn to his duty as the leader of the Orderβs command
center in Italy, the last thing the hardened warrior wants
is to be tasked with the rescue and safekeeping of an
innocent woman in need of his protection. But when a covert
mission takes a deadly wrong turn, Lazaro finds himself in
the unlikely role of hero with a familiar, intriguing beauty
he should not desire, but cannot resist.
Melena Walsh has never forgotten the dashing Breed male who
saved her life as a child. But the chivalrous hero of her
past is in hard contrast to the embittered, dangerous man on
whom her safety now depends. And with an unwantedβyet
undeniableβdesire igniting between them, Melena fears that
Lazaroβs protection may come at the price of her heartβ¦.
