Audiobook.
2.5 stars.
Apart from the beginning and the very end, this book bored me and left me frustrated. The author’s style does not suit me. She is quite wordy and uses a lot of narrative. I wanted more dialogue and more action. The author also spent too much time on past protagonist pair-ups. I did not need the level of detail she gave on how they got together.

After my disappointment with the last book I read in Adrain's Breedmate series, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go on. However, Tegan's character intrigued me from the get go so I couldn't let his book go unread.

Out of the three novels, I can't decide which I liked more. If forced to choose, however, I'd have to say this one is my favourite... so far.
More excellent actions scenes that have you holding your breath. More erotic sex scenes that leave you just as breathless as the characters...
I'm so unbelievably happy for Tegan and Elise, happy that they found each other, happy that they found the love that was lacking. After all they'd been through, they so deserve each other.

(Midnight Breed,#3) The relationship between hardcore Breed warrior Tegan and beautiful Darkhaven widow Elise Chase was steamy and compelling, stemming from admiration and common purpose. I loved Elise’s transformation from composed and gentle to tough and vengeful. The story is nicely done, very suspenseful, and seems to lead the series in a new direction. Great ending!

Tegan'ın hikayesi en merak ettiklerimden biriydi. Ayrıca Elise'in bu kitaptaki değişimi de beni şaşırttı, tam bir intikam meleği ile tanıştık. Ama bir şekilde Tegan'ın kalbine girdi ve Tegan'ı yerle bir etti desek yeridir. Olay hep böyledir, hani erkek yalnızdır kimseyle yakınlaşmaz, sonra kadın onun bütün dünyasını değiştirir, işte böyle oldu.

This is the best of the series so far (and I must say that I'm not over-enthusiastic about this series).
I really like the ending and I think what happened is an interesting development, plus we meet Reichen, who is a very fascinating character. As always the focus of the book is on the romance, so there's never a real focus on the Order and I feel the secondary characters are left in the far background.

This is the 3rd book in the Midnight Breed series and I have liked this one the best so far. Tegan is an old vampire, a generation one. Elise is the formaer Breedmate to a Darkhaven breed who was killed. He son was killed in the last book, "Kiss of Crimson". Just the interaction as Tegan and Elise fight their feelings for one another is great. Now off to reaad Number4

It's official. I love the Breed! After finding the previous two books a little lacking it was so satisfying to see Adrian finally hit it out of the park with Tegan and Elise. The couple is matched perfectly. Both of them have lost mates due to the war with the Rogues. Most recently, Elise also lost her son to the drug Crimson. They know pain loss and Tegan especially understands Elise's need to kill as many Minions as she can. He's been filled with the same need for the past five hundred years.

After seeing her son killed in front of her eyes, Elise Chase wants revenge on those responsible for her son turning Rogue.

Slowly, it will destroy her if she cannot find a way to control it, so Elise turns to Tegan for help. Tegan is a frightening Breed warrior who is cold and lethal, but underneath his emotionless façade, he understands the pain Elise feels over the loss of her son. Despite

Better than the first 2, but still not in love with the series. I do like the books though, even if they wouldn't come close to being a favorite. They're easy reads and likable enough for a late night lounge on the couch.

This is definitely my favorite installment of the Midnight Breed series thus far. Tegan and Elise had great chemistry and interesting back story which really made the story interesting and set it apart from the previous books. I wasn’t sure I would like Elise after Kiss of Crimson as she just seemed entirely too reserved. She breaks out of her shell in this book and makes a great match for Tegan, whose evolution as a character was interesting, emotional and credible.

Assolutamente promosso questo libro di Lara Adrian con la sua nuova storia d'amore fra Tegan e Elise. Quella che nei primi capitoli sembrava una saga veramente troppo "vicina" ai libri di J.R.Ward si sta evolvendo e sta acquisendo decisamente più "carattere".
Non si parla più di una semplice "storia d'amore" ma Lara Adrian sta dando sempre maggior importanza al background su cui si muovono i personaggi e alla trama di sfondo della lotta con i Ribelli. la Genesi dei v More...

This book, like the two previous, follows a member of the Order and the human female who is destined to be his Mate. What sets the heroine apart in this book is that she is already part of Tegan's world, a widowed Breedmate, Elise Chase. Elise has lost both her husband and son to Rouges, and has vowed to do all she can to ensure their lives were not ended in vain. Emotionally closed off to the world, she moves out of the Darkhaven and ventures into humanity to do her part in avenging their death

Elise Chase is no longer the quiet, reserved widow she used to be. Since losing her only child five years after losing her mate, Elise has a new purpose in life – to destroy the Rogues and minions who were responsible for her son’s death. She has moved out of the protective custody of the vampire community, choosing instead to live amongst humans so she can hunt her prey. Her unique ability to read minds allows her to latch onto evil thoughts and follow those who own them.

Awww hell! what is it about the brooding, tortured alpha males that get under our skin? I had been looking forward to Tegan's story since he was first mentioned.

Their collaboration leads to more than retaliation on the one responsible for their losses and in the process they gain something they never imagined wanting ever again...

Now, I'm going to tell you, I'm a sucker for the whole wounded warrior theme... In BDB, it's all about Z and V for me... the more messed up the more I love their story so Tegan was just like dessert for me. Yummy and sinful and everything you don't want to want. I LOVED his story line.

Tegan's story was always going to be worthwhile. The iciest, hardest, and loneliest of the Order, the brief views into his character we had received in previous books was intriguing and his story told in book 3 of the Midnight Breed series, is not disappointing.
I also liked the slight curve ball, in his love interest, Elise Chase. We'd been geared up for a different warrior for Elise, and it is always nice to be surprised.
