Lara Adrian’s Midnight Awakening

My pal Lara Adrian’s 3rd book in her USA Today and New York Times bestselling Midnight Breed series releases this week.

If you havent’ read the first two, you’re really missing out. They’re wonderful, sexy, romantic, thrilling adventure rides, with captivating charcters, strong heroines and heart pounding romance.

I’ve always found Tegan one of the sexiest of the warriors. Maybe because he’s so mean, so moody, so dark. Gotta love those dark heroes. And Elise is so tortured, has already lost so much.

Lara let me have a sneak peek at this book early, and I think it’s my favorite of the three so far. Riveting, passionate, with a hero and heroine evenly matched in strength and courage and love for each other. Both trying to deny their burgeoning feelings, yet neither can resist. I’m telling you, this book will curl your toes and you’ll be unable to put it down.

And don’t just take my word for it. Check out Dear Author’s totally awesome review of Midnight Awakening!

Here’s the blurb:

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 . . . .

Riding Temptation Back Cover Copy

This is the back cover copy for the second book in my new Wild Riders series (the first book, Riding Wild, releases in February). It’ll release from Berkley Heat in October, 2008, but since my editor and I just finished wrangling the copy, thought I’d torture y’all with it now :giggle:

This is the book I’m working so hard to finish right now. :cheer:

RIDING TEMPTATION

He’s a biker working undercover for the Feds. She joined the Wild Riders for reasons of her own. Together, they’re burning up the asphalt and tearing headlong into danger and passion…

Naked under leather

Ever since runaway Jessie Matthews teamed up with the gang of special ops bikers, the Wild Riders have thought of her as their kid sister. Except for Diaz Delgado. Over the past few years he’s been watching the budding of a ripe young woman. Jessie’s glad somebody finally sees her for who she is—and she’s thrilled it’s Diaz. His dark good looks and killer body have tempted her since day one.

Diaz’s unbrotherly urges have been hard to fight but the last thing he’d want to do is hurt Jessie and break up the gang. But when they both go undercover to infiltrate a group of killer survivalists, he knows it’ll be hard to keep his distance—especially when the mission takes a risky turn. Now Diaz has no choice but to open himself up to the one woman who may be strong enough to take him on.

A New Title For The Next Demon Hunters Book

So Bantam has decided to veer off in a bit of a different direction for my Demon Hunter series, title and cover wise.

In that respect, we’re retitling the third book, which was formerly known as THE DEMON’S TOUCH. The new title is THE DARKEST TOUCH.

I’m really excited about the new title, and can’t wait to see what kind of cover art I get to go with it. The title really fits the story, too.

As soon as I get back cover copy and the cover, I’ll share.

What do you think of the new title?
