About STROKE OF MIDNIGHT: A Midnight Breed Series Novella

Born to a noble Breed lineage steeped in exotic ritual and familial duty, vampire warrior Jehan walked away from the luxurious trappings of his upbringing in Morocco to join the Order’s command center in Rome.

But when a generations-old obligation calls Jehan home, the reluctant desert prince finds himself thrust into an unwanted handfasting with Seraphina, an unwilling beauty who’s as determined as he is to resist the antiquated pact between their families.

Yet as intent as they are to prove their incompatibility, neither can deny the attraction that ignites between them. And as Jehan and Seraphina fight to resist the calling of their blood, a deadly enemy seeks to end their uneasy truce before it even begins….

Excerpt:
Damn.
Seraphina Sanhaja was, in a word, extraordinary.
Framed by a mane of cascading brown curls, a pair of long-lashed eyes the color of rich sandalwood flecked with gold lifted to meet Jehan’s arrested gaze. Her face was heart-shaped and delicate, an exotic artistry of fine bones and smooth, sun-kissed olive skin that glowed with rising pink color as she stared at him.
How this stunning woman had managed to get past the age of twenty without some other Breed male locking her into a blood bond, Jehan couldn’t even imagine.
His pulse stirred at the sight of her, sending heat into his veins. Even though he wasn’t in the market for a mate, as a hot-blooded Breed male, it was impossible to deny his body’s intense reaction to the female. He drew in a slow breath, his acute senses taking in the cinnamon-sweet scent of her and the subtle uptick of her heartbeat as he held her in his unblinking gaze.
For a moment, he was sorry he didn’t have any use for tribal laws or ancient pacts that would put Seraphina Sanhaja in his company—better yet, in his bed—for the next eight nights.
Her sister tugged her forward on a light giggle. “Isn’t this exciting?”
Where Leila crackled with unbridled enthusiasm, Seraphina was nearly impossible to read. Her lush lips pursed a bit as she made a silent study of him, her expression carefully schooled, inscrutable.
Standing before him, she was reticent and aloof.
Assessing and...unimpressed?
Jehan’s brows lifted. He didn’t want to admit the jab his ego took at her apparent lack of interest in him. With his thick, shoulder-length dark hair, tawny skin and light blue eyes, he’d never been at a loss for female attention.
Oh, hell. What did he care if she didn’t like what she saw? The week ahead was going to pass a hell of a lot faster if he didn’t have to spend it with a blushing, eyelash-batting Breedmate who couldn’t wait to surrender her carotid to him.

Sonja's Review

Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series is one of my absolute favorites and after such a long break from reading the series, I can't tell you how awesome it was to read Stroke of Midnight! It might only be a novella but I definitely got enough of my Breed fix to last me until the next book. It was an excellent read and I very much enjoyed it! 

The last thing that Jehan and Seraphina want to do is to leave their lives to fulfill some seemingly ridiculous duty that was set in place by their families ages ago. Left without much of a choice for their own reasons however, they reluctantly agree to the handfasting with no intention of anything actually coming of it and get more than either of them bargained for when the attraction they feel for each other is impossible to deny. What started out as a necessary evil just might turn out to be a blessing in disguise if this couple can escape the danger they face and the uncertainty of the future once their obligation is over. 

There was so much to like and love about Stroke of Midnight - I loved Jehan and Seraphina's character and the build up of anticipation for everything. This book was steamy, entertaining, and amusing. It was full of just the right amount of tension, heat, humor, danger, and angst. It was a truly fantastic read and there really wasn't anything that I didn't love about it!!

Stroke of Midnight is a standalone, it's told from Jehan and Seraphina's POV, and a good sigh-worthy HEA ending!
