  <default-description>&lt;b&gt;Insatiable desire.  Endless Seduction.  One touch is just the beginning&lt;/b&gt;
He watches her from across the crowded dance club, a sensual black-haired stranger who stirs Gabrielle Maxwell's deepest fantasies. But nothing about this night--or this man--is what it seems. For when Gabrielle witnesses a murder outside the club, reality shifts into something dark and deadly. In that shattering instant she is thrust into a realm she never knew existed--a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and a blood war is set to ignite.

Lucan Thorne despises the violence carried out by his lawless brethren. A vampire himself, Lucan is a Breed warrior, sworn to protect his kind--and the unwitting humans existing alongside them--from the mounting threat of the Rogues. Lucan cannot risk binding himself to a mortal woman, but when Gabrielle is targeted by his enemies, he has no choice but to bring her into the dark underworld he commands.

Here, in the arms of the Breed's formidable leader, Gabrielle will confront an extraordinary destiny of danger, seduction, and the darkest pleasures of all....</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Good book and very imaginative storyline.  Adrian really developed a unique concept of vampirism and vampire society.  Although the warriors remind me of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, they are not carbon copies, and the Midnight Breed series is claiming its own place in the paranormal romance genre....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43028376">more...</a>]]></body>

Ward's Black Dagger series and, I thought, in Christine Feehan's Carpathian series as well (going Rogue).  But, I found enough differences that I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

    <body><![CDATA[The fifth book in Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series has just recently been published, which means there are a number of reviews floating around the blogsphere.  They have all been very positive, both of the book itself and the series as a whole.  It does seem to be a consistent comment that the fi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54414831">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's the sort of book I like, but I had a little trouble getting into it.  None of the characters really pulled me in.  Also, it was too reminiscent of the BDB for me.  It kind of felt like a ripoff, and although it works in the BDB, the slang that the warriors used in this book got on my nerves, li...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4065353">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book with somewhat low expectations despite the fact that I heard it was a great read. Initially it reminded me of the BDB series by JR Ward with a mix of the Carpathians series and a few others. Despite that I think that Lara Adrian was able to establish her own world that I totally bro...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44283407">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is book one of the series.  Reading reviews of this book before reading them myself, people said they felt similar to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series of books by J.R. Ward and there are times I do feel that but because I’m a HUGE lover of the BDB series, this just drew me in even more.

    <body><![CDATA[This should go on the lamereads site.  It had pretty good reviews overall, and I hoped (in vain) that it would improve.  The big ol' warrior vampires go out fighting Rogues and Minions, but in a way that I felt I was stuck in a Doom game - go to the penthouse, the Darkhaven, the asylum, shoot/slice ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58129533">more...</a>]]></body>
