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.

Elise Chase suffered tremendous loss in recent years. The loss of her beloved mate hurt her tremendously- but it was the loss of their son that devastated her. Determined to avenge his death, she transforms herself from a sheltered aristocrat to an emotionless hunter who will stop at nothing to see the Breed responsible for killing her son dead - even if it means destroying her sanity to do so.

Tegan knows deep loss as well and something about Elise pulls at his heart- a heart he thought long dead. When he finds her laid low from her debilitating gift he decides to give her a hand in controlling it. In the meantime, passion stirs between them and though she awakens something in him, he tries to stay away from her. Until they are both drawn into a web of intrigue that leads them to the other side of the world and to the very center of the struggle between the rogue vampires out to destroy humankind and the group of warriors who have given their lives to stop them.

Something dark and sinister is arising and its far worse than the evil Breed they once considered their arch-nemesis.

Tegan is the kind of sexy brooding hero that we've come to love in paranormal romance, and Elise's transformation makes this novel a winner. They're coming together is passionate and steamy but I think I enjoyed the intrigue just as much in this one!

Although still not as favored as some of the other paranormal romance series out there- I enjoyed Midnight Awakening and am now anxious to get to the rest of the series! ( )

This is my favorite of the series so far! ( )

This is third in the Midnight Breed Series by Lara Adrian. Finallly! The first two books didn't impress me. This one did. I loved Tegan. I loved he plot, the characters and just about everything else in this book. It was a great story that kept my interest. Glad I decided to plod along and try a couple more of this authors books. This one is a winner! Good paranormal Read. ( )

Loved, loved, loved Tegan (even tho his name is regrettable, sound more Pretty in Pink than vampire warrior). His character hits all the right notes in the Tortured Alpha Male Undone by Luuurve category. Elise is also a welcome change from the typical one-note, weak heroines usually accompanying Tortured Alpha Males.

Overall, I find this series fairly good-- for me, its not as addictive as JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, I didn't run out and buy every book on the shelf after finishing this one. However, its entertaining, well written and has a decent plot, and kept me occupied during a long flight. ( )

HE HAS RESISTED TEMPTATION FOR CENTURIES, A STONE-COLD WARRIOR WHOSE FROZEN HEART REFUSES TO THAW--UNTIL HER . . . .

With a dagger in her hand and vengeance on her mind, Darkhaven beauty Elise Chase prowls Boston's streets in search of retribution against the Rogue vampires who took from her everything she cherished. Using an extraordinary psychic gift, she tracks her prey, well aware that the power she possesses is destroying her. She must learn to harness this gift, and for that she can turn to only one man--the deadliest of the Breed warriors, Tegan.

No stranger to loss, Tegan knows Elise's pain. He knows fury, but when he slays his enemies it is with ice in his veins. He is perfect in his self-control, until Elise seeks his aid in her personal war. An unholy alliance is forged--a bond that will link them by blood and vow--and plunge them into a tempest of danger, desire, and the darkest passions of the heart . . . .
