Publisher's summary

For journalist Dylan Alexander, it began with the discovery of a hidden tomb, thrusting her into the center of a gathering storm of violence and secrets. But nothing is as dangerous as the scarred, lethally seductive man who rises from the shadows to draw her into his world of dark desire and endless night.

Fueled by pain and rage over a shattering betrayal, the warrior Rio has pledged his life to the war against the Rogues. He will let nothing stand in his way - least of all a mortal woman with the power to expose the entire vampire race. For an ancient evil has been awakened, and a stunning darkness is on the rise. Suddenly, Dylan is powerless to resist Rio's touch, even as she uncovers a shocking link to her own past. And now she must choose: Leave Rio's midnight realm, or risk it all for the man who has shown her true passion and the infinite pleasures of the heart.

Critic reviews

"This is a spellbinding series!" ( RomanceJunkies.com)

Intriguing series but a bit redundant and...

The series is definitely a fantasy series with the males as gruff, angry, physically tough and mentally defeated, self-destructive warriors! The males in this series do everything they can to live miserable lives but the females won't allow it. The bad guys are terrible and horrible to women and the heroes treat women with reverence and respect. This is the baseline for all of the stories and, it is entertaining. The stories could easily be 2 hours shorter without the constant repetitive woe with me but that is what the skip forward 20 seconds button is for... ;)

Where the stories go off the rails is when the males can tell what a benign scent the women have! It would be the same as pointing to a wall that is a shade of blue... to a guy, it is blue... period.

Is the series worth reading? Yes... If you like this genre, it is worth your time!

Love the voices of these characters.

Love the sexy accented voice of Rio that the narrator gave this character.
As this series progresses, book by book, we're feed bits of the mystery.
This one brings several pieces together.

Finally :)

I started listing to this series and got so impatient to listen to Rio’s story that I bought the book. I Loved it. So much so that even though I had already read it I just had to have it on audio. It’s a great series I highly recommend.

Love overcomes betrayal

Another great story in the Midnight Breed series. Following on the heels of betrayal by his breedmate, and seeking to end it all, Rio finds his salvation in Dylan . He is helped unknowingly by his dead mate who seeks his forgiveness for her betrayal.

Love this series!

Very entertaining and engrossing series. I'm totally enjoying this world of the Breed. I love how each book details a different character. It's so fun and so sexy. Love it!

Absolutely fabulous "page turning" series.

Where does Midnight Rising  rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's in my top three favorite ausio bookd of all time. I listen to them again and again an I am usually a one time movie viewer, and read a book one time. I'm telling you...it is sooo worth the listen. The intrigue gets deeper and deeper every book farther you get into the series. Love It!!!!

What did you like best about this story?

There are unexpected turns and you can't wait to see what happend next. You are submerged in this new intruguing world. The women are great. The men are...yummy! Makes for a great story.

What does Hillary Huber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator is FANTASTIC! Thank you Lara Adrian for giving us an audio voice worthy of your wonderful world. She has a different voice for all the characters and she does an amazing vampire warrior voice. She brings the whole story to life even more so than when you are reading it (which I have).

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

Gosh there are several. Of Course the action packed Holy cow! ending and you gotta love when Rio finally starts to heal.

Any additional comments?

The whole series is a must read. I tell all my book lovers to get this series. It's a blast, it's romantic, it's raw, it's exciting, and it is a must read!

A Good Rising

This was book 4 in the "Midnight Breed" series. When journalist Dylan Alexander comes across a hidden tomb while on a trip in South America she comes across the breed warrior Rio. Rio has been through a lot in the last year he was betrayed by his mate Ava he was injured in a blast in the last book. Rio doesn't want to live with the bruises on his face and body he wants to die and planned to seal the cave and lock himself in it. When Dylan takes pictures of him in the cave he knows he has to stop her. Dylan has a secret she can see and hear the dead and was lured to the cave to help him she is also a breed mate. This was a really good book Dylan needs a story for her job and when Rio shows up after he feeds and hunts her down in Spain he tells her that he has to take her pictures and the ones that she sent to her family and friends. When she shows him her birth mark he tells her what he is and what she is she doesn't believe him. When they go back to the states they go to the compound where the brothers thought he was dead and they know that he wanted to die. I really liked both of these characters Dylan wasn't a push over but she sees something in Rio and when she decides to leave because her mother is sick she runs away and Rio tracks her to the hospital where he finds out about her mother. When these two have sex it is hot and he feeds from her and bond with her. I really liked this book and the narrator of this audiobook when things get hard Dylan and Rio both prove to each other that they will be there. This was a good read that was well written with no errors in grammar and since I do have the book spelling either. I am looking forward to reading or listening to the next book.
