Be Mine Tonight (The Brotherhood of Blood, Book 1)

By: Kathryn Smith

Narrated by: Vanessa Hart

I am called Chapel . . .

For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...

Never have I known a maiden the like of Prudence Ryland, whose beauty and spirit awaken a heart I feared long cold and dead. But her young life is slipping away, and she also seeks the deliverance of the Grail -- unaware that the cost of her search could be her soul. I must help Prudence, for in six hundred years, no other woman has stirred my passions so. But dare I tender to my beloved that which she most desires -- the sensuous "gift" of forever that is both rapture and a curse: my immortal kiss?

No

AAHHHHH, WHAT A JOY WHEN A WRITER GETS IT RIGHT !

I just couldn't stop listening to this book, it held my attention throughout. It's basically another 'twist' on the vampire genre (they are the 'originals' ) but with a nice romantic plot .

I hope Kathryn Smith has taken her phone off the hook, cancelled her weekends and doesn't intend to take any holidays because I want MORE MORE MORE of the Knights Templar stories please please please!

exciting, emotional, and sensual...

Who was your favorite character and why?

Prue.. She loved Chapel and when she realized and accepted how HE felt about himself and about being a vampire she continued to love him unconditionally....

Have you listened to any of Vanessa Hart’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Never, but I will be getting the next book in the series....

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't think there was a particular moment but what moved me was how Chapel saw himself and even though her had 2 people who cared for him tell him how they saw him he just could not see it.... "It is easier to believe the ugly things people say about you then the beautiful things that are true"

Any additional comments?

At first I really couldn't get into this book. The first half was just ok and I almost gave up but just couldn't because of the reviews that this book got I knew that I was missing something... Then the 2nd part of the book picked up and carried me away I connected emotionally with Chapel and Prue.... This turned out to be a great book for me because I love historical and paranormal romance and this had them both....

Fun and interesting!

I enjoyed this book very much. Good descriptive work. Good characters. Clever take on the creation of vampires.
