Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian
DELIVERED FROM THE DARKNESS, A WOMAN FINDS HERSELF PLUNGED INTO A PASSION THAT IS DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT.
 
At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of a wealthy family. Her world changed in an instant when she was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire Dragos. After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as well—the one thing that gave her hope during her imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now that she is free.

Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once Dragos’s most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the Order, and he’s hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire, Hunter will have to decide how far he’ll go to end Dragos’s reign of evil—even if carrying out his mission means shattering Corinne’s tender heart.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT gives many fans the long awaited story of Hunter, one of Dragos vampire bred assassins with Gen One skills and strengths.  Hunter has been working with the Order to defeat Dragos and protect all innocent Breedmates.  There is one Breedmate in particular that Hunter slowly begins to have feelings for.

Corinne was rescued from a breeding camp, and now that she feels strong enough and recovered from her ordeal, she wants nothing more than to return to her family, with Hunter chosen to be her escort.

Adrian did a great job with these two in showing their feelings slowly develop.  Especially for Hunter, who has never been in a position to think he would find a mate and experience the love he has witnessed from his fellow warriors.   There are also some really great twists and surprises that made this all the more enjoyable to read.  Readers will continue to witness Sterling (Harvard) Chase spiral out of control. 

However, with all of the information and revelations in this book, I wouldn’t advise a newcomer to the series to start with DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT.
