ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 11, 2016
The mission was supposed to be simple. Infiltrate an enemy’s stronghold outside Rome and eliminate its leader. For a Breed warrior as lethal as Ettore Selvaggio, AKA “Savage”, stealth assassinations are only one of his many cold-hearted specialties. But the last thing Savage expects to find behind enemy lines—in his target’s bed—is a woman he once adored.
It’s been years since Savage last saw beautiful Arabella Genova. Years he’s strived to banish to his past, along with the fierce desire he once felt toward Bella . . . and the irresistible calling of her blood that stirs in him even now, despite the fact that she belongs to another male.
But when fate throws Savage and Bella together again in a race for their lives, will his long-lost love prove to be the one woman he can’t live without, or the perfect weapon to destroy him?
•••••••••••••
REVIEW: Midnight Untamed begins with Savage having one objective: destroy a major distributor of an illegal substance that turns normal Breed males into bloodthirsty rogues that kill everything in their path. As Savage goes to detonate the explosives he’s planted at the compound, he sees the one person who has owned his heart for ten long years. The fact that Arabella “Bella” Genova is entrenched with the enemy should have meant that she would be collateral damage. With Savage having only moments to make his move, he puts disarms the detonator and head to the compound.
Bella hates that she is paraded around like a trophy in front of Massioni’s cronies and has to use her special powers to aid him any time he wishes. Once he tells her to retrieve her “tools”, she goes to her room to get what she needs, only to be ambushed by someone hiding there. It doesn’t take long for her to realize who that someone is: Ettore Selvaggio. As her heart soars at seeing him again, it also sinks because she knows what she has to do. She apologizes to him……….and then screams at the top of her lungs. Shocked to his very soul, Savage grabs Bella and runs. What follows is a pulse pounding race against time to not only bring down Massioni but to save themselves as well.
Midnight Untamed is a great addition to the Midnight Breed series. Even though this is a novella, it progresses the storyline that should have a big impact in the next book. Savage and Bella are awesome characters and their chemistry is off the charts. While they get reacquainted and Savage learns the unforgivable wrongs that were committed against Bella by her own family, he falls even harder for her. We also meet a mysterious Hunter named Scythe who, in my humble opinion, is screaming for his story to be told. His appearance is brief, but he has a huge presence. I’ve been a fan of this series since day one and have never once been disappointed, and that’s saying something. Lara Adrian seems to effortlessly create her world and leaves me wanting more……every time. If you’re a fan of this series, you will not be disappointed. If you’ve never read it, get to reading! Well done, Lara Adrian! Very well done!

Nor did his violence.
That her gift had helped him amass his growing fortune, and the power that came with it, made Arabella want to retch.
How often had she thought about giving him a false reading from her scrying bowl?
How many times had she dreaded that her visions would one day prove incorrect?
But she hadn’t deceived him, not once.
And, thankfully, her visions had never been wrong.
Either of those failings would come at the cost of innocent lives. Not her own, but the people she cared about most in the world. The only family she had left now.
It was those precious lives she held close in her heart as she walked over to the cabinet across the room and retrieved the hammered gold bowl she would need for her reading downstairs. In reality, her gift would awaken when she peered into any standing pool of liquid, but Massioni insisted she use the ridiculous carnival fortune-teller’s style bowl for dramatic effect whenever she performed a public reading.
Cradling the shallow bowl in her palms, she drew the empty vessel out of the cabinet. Her own face stared back at her in the reflection on the polished gold basin—but that wasn’t all.
Behind her stood the ominous shape of someone else.
A man.
Tall, immense.
An intruder dressed entirely in black tactical gear.
Bella sucked in a startled breath.
Fear streaked through her, but before her shriek could rip up the back of her throat, a broad palm came up to cover her mouth.
Oh, God.
