About this listen

He comes to her more dead than alive, a towering black-clad stranger riddled with bullets and rapidly losing blood. As she struggles to save him, veterinarian 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.

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 swath 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 - but now, with his brethren under attack, he must shield Tess from a growing threat that includes Dante himself. For with one reckless, irresistible kiss, she has become an inextricable part of his underworld realm...and his touch awakens her to hidden gifts, desires, and hungers she never knew she possessed. Bonded by blood, Dante and Tess must work together to thwart deadly enemies, even as they discover a passion that transcends the boundaries of life itself.

The Midnight Breed series is GREAT!!

I happened on Lara Adrian's books by accident and I am so happy I did. I find this series to be extremely entertaining, well thought out, and written very well. This is the second book in the series and I can hardly wait for each of the installments to hit the book stores. Now that they are on Audible, I am a very happy camper. I love to listen to the books as I read along because I want to know how some of the words and names of the characters are pronounced. I can also get into a very Zen kin of place and really get into the Breed world. After the first intense listening, I can listen while I do housework, laundry etc. It seems to makes the work go faster too!! BONUS!!!

I hope Audible continues to carry Ms. Adrian's books. She has 7 books in print and the 8TH is due in print on Aug.31,2010. Who knows, maybe Audible will catch up by then and ALL HER BOOKS WILL BE ON AVAILABLE ON AUDIBLE!!!

Love the Midnight Breed!

I realize I am a total sucker for this romantic, sweep-you-off-your-feet, erotic vampire series, but at least I can say that it is really well-written! This second book is very involving and I really enjoy learning about the different characters and their backgrounds throughout the series.

And, again, Hillary Huber has the perfect smokey and throaty voice to pull off the male voices.

I'm also glad like another reviewer stated, that I stumbled onto this series. It's terrific. Onto the next one!

Loved this story

This is the book #2 for the Midnight Breed series.

What I liked about this story is we could jump right into the ongoing battle between the Breed Warriors and the Rogues, except now the focus is on Dante and Tess. And what a story they have to share. Dante is the fierce Italian warrior that fights his future. Tess is a breed mate veterinarian, running from her past. She is forced into this dark world without choice. Their story is raw and emotional, laced with intimate moments that suck you in. They both try to fight their destiny but the pull they have to each other in undeniably strong.

We are also introduced to another vampire, Sterling Chase. He is from the Dark havens, a place where the breed and their mates call home, hidden from the human word. We find out the Dark haven vampires believe the warriors are vigilantes and yet, he reached out and asks the warriors to help him. Sterling struggles with his own demons, he has desires that he cannot act upon. In the end, this vampire is still searching to find his purpose. I suspect this is not the last we see or hear of Sterling Chase.

Again, the audio version was well narrated. Dante’s voice rolls off her tongue and I can just picture this Italian warrior standing before me. Her female voices improved with this story, finding definite variations for the various breed mates that fit them perfectly.

I am hooked on this series. This world is addictive and I find myself sucked in to warriors fight. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Like the stories but extraordinary verbose

I definitely like the storyline but I can sometimes skip 2 or 3 minutes at a time and only miss how much the male can discuss his love, affection, adoration and deep respect for his woman! I easily skipped 2 hours overall so I could see what was happening.
