In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand—and control—a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal...and arouse.
As she recovers under Brock's care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order's mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself—until a secret from Brock's past and Jenna's own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.

"*no spoilers* Not much to add from what I've said of the books in this series. I'd go 3 1/2 or 4 stars. Great storytelling as always...this author never disappoints for a steady and interesting story that keeps me eagerly turning the pages. The chemistry for the characters is very good, and there's an interesting conflict for the main characters. On the downside, I would have enjoyed more development with the villain and much more on the physical issues with the main character as there was much that could have been worked with there. I'd love this author to go a bit longer on these books because she always seems to leave great potential she's created left on the table. Good read!"

" Wonderful addition to the series. I loved Brock, he was so caring and loving. I also liked how Jenna emotionally changed throughout the book. I can't wait for the next book - Hunter - he sounds so interesting. "
— Karen, 2/3/2014" This series just seems to get better with every book. There were quite a few things left unanswered so I am really anxious for Hunters book and maybe the answers to some of my questions. "
— Debbie, 1/19/2014" Fun and pure entertainment . Easy read and didn't dissapoint. "
— Rhonda, 1/18/2014" The series has been getting better and better! Jenna added a very interesting twist to the series, not just in this particular book but hopefully in future books. I hope that we get to see more of her, not just in little bits in another character's story. The story line of the Breed is getting very exciting. Taken by Midnight left me engrossed and wanting for more! We need to hear more about Jenna. I am patiently awaiting Hunter's book :) "
— Erica, 1/17/2014" So thios one moves back up the list the last 2 books i read in this series were def. not my favorites but this one from about page 15 I was hooked. I'm very curious to see if we get any more info on Jenna and what exactly is going on. I will def. be reading the next book when its released "
— Jenn, 12/27/2013" I loved it! The Breed is awesome...tied with the Lords of the underworld. The whole thing that happens with Jenna kept me stuck w/my nose in the book. I sure hope Lara takes her character further into the rest of her series. "
— Tanya, 11/27/2013" Love it!!! Counting down the days until the release of the next book "
— Tonya, 11/21/2013" OMG another great book in the midnight breed series. I can not wait to find out what will become of Jenna now that dermagliffs are appearing on her neck. They are leading us to believe that she may become the first female breed hybrid. I hope this story continues into the next book "
— Tykesha, 10/1/2013" I have loved reading this whole series so far and look forward to reading about "Hunter". "
— Elayne, 5/22/2013" Addicted from the start. I honestly couldn't put this book down I had it read in an hour. My only problem was finding out that it was part of a series so now I have to start at the beginning and I can't wait. "
— Crystal, 5/10/2013" A lot went on in this book. I wish there was more scenes of just Brock and Jenna. Fast-paced. Jenna throws an interesting wrench in the story and her story isn't complete yet, either. "
— Chris, 8/12/2012" This book was just ok. Not something I would pick up and read again. I never felt a real connection between the characters. I really wish what was happening to Jenna had more of an explanation. I think that if they had digged in deeper with that it would have helped the story. "
— Dani, 4/17/2012" I read this book two days before actual release and feel in love all over again with this series. I am so close to completely my collection of paperback books. Everyone needs to read this series, if they want to know how a really talented author writes. "
— Alina, 4/3/2012" I do love this series and can't wait for Hunter's book.. "
— Lizzielvr, 5/4/2011" Pretty good. Started reading because I was tired of reading the teenage books. Very different although it still reminds me of the Blackdagger Brotherhood series. "
