Taken By The Night

When Saint arrives at a notorious London brothel to rest, his life, such as it is, will never be the same. Ivy Dearing, the daughter of the infamous Madam requests his assistance in finding the murderer of two of the girls who worked there. Ivy is no stranger to vampires and has always been attracted to Saint. Now Saint sees her as a woman and no longer the child he knew before. Ivy is determined to find the killers and Saint has no choice but to help her. He doesn’t want to lose his heart as he has suffered loss before, but Ivy proves too much of a temptation. Then there is another murder and Ivy and Saint find out that there is something more evil than the undead.

Kathryn Smith has written a wonderful, sensual romance that will thrill any lover of vampire romance. Set in historical London, first the murders evoke memories of Jack the Ripper who had never been caught, so London is in an uproar wondering if he has returned. Ms. Smith draws her readers back in time to a place where vampires are known and by some accepted. Ms. Smith also gives her readers a sensual journey as the attraction between Saint and Ivy grows. Poor Saint tries to deny this attraction but Ivy is determined to seduce him. Adventure and action meet them at every turn and as the bed sheets get hot, murder is ravaging the city. This is a great read and the third in The Brotherhood of the Night series.
