Product Description:
A woman driven by blood. A man thirsting for vengeance.
A place where darkness and desire meet...
As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from hell itself. Then, from out of the flames and ash, a vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her onetime lover, now a stranger consumed by vengeance. Caught in the cross fire, Claire cannot escape his savage fury—or the hunger that plunges her into his world of eternal darkness and unending pleasure.
Nothing will stop Andreas from destroying the vampire responsible for slaughtering his Breed brethren . . . even if he must use his former lover as a pawn in his deadly mission. Blood-bonded to his treacherous adversary, Claire can lead Andreas to the enemy he seeks, but it is a journey fraught with danger—and deep, unbidden desires. For Claire is the one woman Andreas should not crave, and the only one he’s ever loved. A dangerous seduction begins—one that blurs the lines between predator and prey, and stokes the flames of a white-hot passion that may consume all in its path. . . .

Books were well written, humor, drama and very explict. Almost felt like I was reading porno though. I don't know if that is good or bad. Although it was highly engaging and a fun read. Read all six in the series. Looking forward to the new release next year. Already pre-ordered. Under 18 years of age shouldn't be reading it.

This is another great "Midnight Breed" book. It was hard to get into the book at the beginning but once I did - I really enjoyed it. Claire and Andreas have a pretty good love story. I enjoyed that the book had more of the old couples in this book. I like hearing about the other couples I love so dearly.

I found the first book as a free download and was instantly hooked. After I finished the first book I immediately bought the rest of the series. They are very, very, very good. I've gotten my mother addicted to them as well!

This is book six in Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series and I couldn`t put it down. Following events set up in the last book VEIL OF MIDNIGHT this instalment just takes off, with its exciting and suspense filled storyline. There is plenty of angst filled romance here too and several ongoing subplots and POV's which all manage to come together for one explosive ending. Fans of the series will be thrilled as we get to revisit past members of the `Order' and their `Breedmates' who all have significant roles within this story. There is also a reunited lovers theme between our couple which is my favourite type of romance.
Andreas Reichen's character has been around in a secondary role for several books now. But ever since the massacre took place within his Darkhaven compound killing his entire family, this Vampire has been hell bent on extracting revenge from the man responsible. Andreas agony over this event and his need for retribution has also brought out a deadly power within him, one that he had tried to keep hidden. Andreas can physically manifest into fire, burning with a heat so intense he blazes everything in his path and now he's coming for Wilhelm Roth.
His search for Roth ironically takes him to the home of his enemy's wife and Andre's former love Claire. He has never been able to forget the beautiful Breedmate or their fated love affair. Once reunited this couple is powerless to stop their mutual attraction even if it means breaking the sanctity of her blood bond to Roth. Events soon transpire which see this couple on the run as Claire learns of her absentee husband's true nature and Andreas tries to recover from his ever increasing bouts of pyrokenetics. He's finding it harder and harder to control the fire and Claire fears for his life knowing that he won't give up this quest for revenge even if it means sacrificing himself in the process.
As a last resort they contact the Order and are flown to their compound in Boston. That's when things get really interesting; as all the storylines converge into a combined hunt for Roth and his evil partner Dragos thereby placing the entire group in a lethal trap. Andreas may very well be their only hope of escape but he's become so blind with vengeance that he can no longer control the fire, this time the inferno may consume them all.
This series seems to be either hit or miss for me, ASHES OF MIDNIGHT is a definite hit. The conflict, erotic romance and gunplay carries throughout and builds to a level of nail-biting, page turning suspense as we approach the thrilling finale. I do suggest at least reading book 5 before starting here but alternately I could recommend the entire Midnight Breed series. Cheers.
1-Kiss Of Midnight, 2-Kiss Of Crimson, 3-Midnight Awakening, 4-Midnight Rising, 5-Veil Of Midnight, 6-Ashes Of Midnight.
