There wasn't enough 'Emotional Connection' written into Lazaro and Melena's relationship. It felt stilted, stiff and uncomfortable. Like a shoe that 'almost' fits but ends up leaving blisters on your feet. Also, the 'Suspense' was pretty much just a gloss over. No real action there either. I lot of words that didn't really amount up to much. If the pace of the first 2 and last 2 chapters had been throughout the story, it would have been much better. I was looking forward to getting Lazaro's hea. Unfortunately, this one was disappointing. (  ) bodebeabay | Sep 25, 2022 | I've wanted Lazaro's story ever since he lost all but his grandson early in this series. He's joined the Order to fight but he has also withdrawn from getting close to anyone, unwilling to suffer the pain of loss again. Melena is a breedmate he saved as a child, all grown up but still fascinated with Lazaro when they meet again. Their story starts out with distrust and explosions, then settles in to a push me, pull you situation which I get on one hand, but hate on the other. Lazaro switches from cruel and jerky to longing and lust filled, making me think more than once that he didn't deserve Melena. There's a lot of heat in this story but it takes an extreme event for Lazaro to get his head out of his ass, which downgrades the story for me.

HTML: From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lara Adrian comes a new story in her Midnight Breed series... Once, they lived in secret alongside mankind. Now, emerged from the shadows, the Breed faces enemies on both sides—human and vampire alike. No one knows that better than Lazaro Archer, one of the eldest, most powerful of his kind. His beloved Breedmate and family massacred by a madman twenty years ago, Lazaro refuses to open his heart again. Sworn to his duty as the leader of the Order's command center in Italy, the last thing the hardened warrior wants is to be tasked with the rescue and safekeeping of an innocent woman in need of his protection. But when a covert mission takes a deadly wrong turn, Lazaro finds himself in the unlikely role of hero with a familiar, intriguing beauty he should not desire, but cannot resist. Melena Walsh has never forgotten the dashing Breed male who saved her life as a child. But the chivalrous hero of her past is in hard contrast to the embittered, dangerous man on whom her safety now depends. And with an unwanted—yet undeniable—desire igniting between them, Melena fears that Lazaro's protection may come at the price of her heart.... **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Series note: Although this is a short novella, the events depicted provide important information in the overall story arc. As such, it should not be skipped over.
Twenty years ago, Lazaro Archer's lost virtually his entire family in a despicable act of terrorism. Now, having dedicated his life to the Order and to the protection of the Breed, Lazaro refuses to risk love again even for Melena Walsh, the one woman who has finally cracked the ice around his heart.
Adrian packs a great deal into this short story - action, suspense, romance as well as plot and character development for the series as a whole.
While Lazaro and Melena's push/pull attraction is appealing, there are one or two problematic elements. To begin with, the age difference is significant. Yes, the vampires in this series are often hundreds of years old and often much older than their Breedmates. Nevertheless, the gap in Lazaro and Melena's ages is highlighted due to the fact that he knew her as a child. This lends a somewhat icky undertone to their relationship. Second, Lazaro's "woe-is-me" attitude puts a damper on his alphaness, and his change of heart from rejecting to accepting his love for Melena is rather sudden and unrealistic.
Despite these issues, the events in the story are compelling and contribute to the development of the second arc in the series. Moreover, the introduction of new Breed warriors opens up fresh avenues and directions for exploration. (
