    About this audiobook

    Dr. Veronica Reid is a world-renowned archeologist whose Druid abilities help her to unearth ancient magical items. The arrival of the all-too-attractive and charismatic Arran MacCarrick puts her on the defensive when he begins to question how she really finds her artifacts . . . until an unknown foe attacks and Ronnie discovers that Arran has a secret as great as her own. Together they unleash an all-consuming passion that won't be denied.

    Immortal warrior Arran is on a mission to find the spell to bind the god within him. But one look at the impossibly beautiful Ronnie and he knows there is more to her than meets the eye. With danger lurking around every corner and an undeniable hunger that grows with every kiss, Arran must reveal who he is to keep Ronnie from his nemesis. Now he is left with no choice but to fight-or fall-for the woman he loves.

      Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Vivacious Valkyrie - Marta:*Copy gifted in exchange for an honest reviewI adore this author's work and in particular her shifter stories that feature Dragos and his family. This follows on from Night's Honor and the attention has firmly shifted to the Vampyres or Nightkind as they are known. Julian is King of the Nightkind Demesne but there's trouble brewing. Now, I'm not going to lie and say that's a total surprise because this court or council that Julian presides over is always full of intrigue and political machinations, but the rot that's set in is much closer than he had anticipated. Julian is fully prepared to hunt down the traitor and he plans on enjoying every minute of it, but as he prepares he receives a call that will see him sacrificing himself for the traitorous woman who has always held his heart. Melisande, heir to the Light Fae Queen truly loved Julian but failed to convince him of her faithfulness. Now, twenty years later, she is used to his scathing manner and hurtful words, but still bitterly regrets the loss she feels . When tricked and kidnapped by Justine Julian's enemy, she is astonished when Julian actually comes to her rescue and cannot believe that he would fall for Justines lies. Julian is taken hostage and now there's no one to rescue them so it's clear they will have to try to save themselves. With their history of mistrust can they truly work together and even if they can find a way to ignore their painful past is escape even possible? I love returning to the world of the Elder Races and it's true that the Vampyres are not usually my favourite characters but each book is special and unique. In this book we have a hero who cannot bear to be in the same room as the heroine without seeing red and wanting to lash out and yet Julian has no hesitation in trying to save Melly (swoon!). Melly is much more resourceful than I expected and makes for a fabulous heroine. No, she is not exactly kickass, but she's determined and very likeable. Julian constantly underestimates her, but then they do say love is blind! There's the rub, Julian is deeply in love with Mell,y but has strong reasons not to trust her and yet together they are so much stronger than apart. As for the romance well the chemistry they share is smoking! It's not something that either one can really deny, but the trials and tribulations they share make it hard for either of them to be honest. I loved that Julian would almost tear himself apart if need be to save Melly, but she is no slouch and repeatedly had me cheering for her. Did I miss the usual Wyr Sentinel characters? A little if honest as there's only brief appearances here, but this was far more action-packed than previous Vampyre Demesne books which made for a very interesting read. This is such a fabulous series and a must for paranormal romance fans. A sensual delight from an author with an amazing imagination. I just can't wait for the next book and suspect a certain Sentinel is about to fall!

      Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy.allthingsuf.comMIDNIGHT'S KISS promises to show the sexier side of the vampire from SERPENT'S KISS, as Julian was first heir to Carling's throne and then a threat to her life. And while this transition from villain to hero was successful, neither Julian nor Melly were able to steal my heart. If you love old lovers thrown together and working through past misunderstandings, MIDNIGHT'S KISS offers just that trope with a side of political intrigue, immortality, and vampirism.While Harrison's vampiric society is intellectually interesting, political struggles alone weren't enough to keep me invested in our hero's well being. Even Julian's romance felt flat, as his reactions and reflections on Carling had more emotional impact for me than the rather telenovela explanation for his past break up with Melly (which managed to feel both predictable and a little ridiculous). Despite this, an Elder Races novel with a few weaknesses is still a sexy, well written Paranormal Romance that has me anxious for the installment in the series. Ignoring what kept Julian and Melly apart, their chemistry together is undeniable.While Julian and Melly aren't going to unseat Dragos and Pia, or Grace and Khalil, or even Carling and Rune as my favorite Elder Races couple, they're still in good company. Getting a glimpse of Julian's motivations and relationships, both with Melly and his fellow vampires, was a nice compliment to his earlier presence in the Elder Races world. It was just that switch from villain to hero that was my favorite part of MIDNIGHT'S KISS, so new readers will be missing out if they start the series here.Sexual Content: Sex scenes.

      Midnight's Kiss
      3.5 Stars

      Julian, the Nightkind King, and Melisande, the Light Fae heir, were once involved in a torrid affair until trust issues tore them apart and led to hurt feelings and a war of words. Thus, when Melly is taken hostage to use as leverage against Julian, no one is more surprised than he at his willingness to sacrifice himself for a woman he believes betrayed him … can Melly and Julian put aside their differences to escape their captors and protect the Nightkind demense from internal and external threats?

      Series Note: It is highly recommended that the books be read in order for the backstory to Julian’s character. It is, however, essential to read book #7 prior to this as as book #8 is a direct continuation of that storyline.

      A decent addition to the series but not one of the best.

      Melly and Julian’s second chances romance has its moments with their bickering and “sex on the run” scenes ratcheting up the chemistry. That said, the whole 20 years of holding a grudge because they couldn’t or wouldn’t have an honest conversation with one another until they were locked up in a cell is definitely irritating. Furthermore, the reason for their silly misunderstanding is overly simplistic and it is difficult to believe how easily they were both deceived.

      The secondary plot involving Justine’s attempts to take over the Nightkind council is underdeveloped and the identity of her accomplice is glaringly obvious. The confrontation scenes at the end are, nonetheless, action packed and satisfying and it was good to see Xavier and Tess as well as Carling and Rune.

      All in all, Midnight’s Kiss is surprisingly entertaining despite its problems and I look forward to reading Graydon’s book, which is next.

      Another great adventure following the Highlanders and their women. A different and dangerous foe has been found and another love story discovered. I can’t wait to see how they beat this next villain.
