Product Description

Centuries ago, this magnificent chalice sealed my fate as a vampire, and now I am its protector. Many have hunted me for it, but only Vivian has accomplished the task. Strong, lovely, haunted . . . I am more attracted to her than I should be, yet her loyalty lies with a man determined to bring about my destruction. But I am not so easily locked in a cage, and now the captive has become the captor.

Though her stormy eyes tempt me, there is too much at stake—not merely my life, but the lives of my vampire Brotherhood. And I am not above using Vivian to achieve my goals, even if it means denying my own heart. The battle to end all battles is just beginning, and I must fight . . . if I could only let my desire be damned.”

About the Author

My husband says I have the best job in the world. The only thing that could top being paid to do what I love is if Avon Books decided that all their authors had to be hand-fed chocolate by Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, or John Cusack. But my husband probably wouldn't think so much of my job then, so instead I'll let him feed me chocolate and go on being forever thankful that I have the best job—and husband—in the world.

Thrilling conclusion to this exciting series!
Night After Night marks the thrilling conclusion to Kathryn Smith's Brotherhood of the Blood series. The books of the series take place simultaneously in 1899 and centers around five Templar Knights who mistakenly drank from the unholy Blood Grail six hundred years before and became vampires. They were eventually given new names - each a religious moniker: Chapel, Bishop, Saint, Reign and Temple.

In the first book of the series, Be Mine Tonight, we learned that Temple was the protector of the Blood Grail. As its guardian, his task was to allow no one to accidentally drink from it again and have to experience the torment and burden of living the cursed life of a vampire. Toward the end of the book, he is captured by an evil society, the Order of the Silver Palm. Since there are five books in the series, it has been a long time coming finding out exactly what happened to Temple.

When Night After Night begins, Temple is being held prisoner. His captors keep him drugged, chained and are attempting to use him as bait to draw his friends out of hiding. Little do they know that the drugs they continue to administer to him are beginning to wear off and now having minimal effect. In his now lucid state, he is able to "meet" one of the people holding him captive - a tall, beautiful, redhead whom he instantly feels a strange connection with.

Vivian has spent her entire life thinking herself a freak. At six feet, she is taller than most women, plus she is also exceptionally stronger than most men. And it was that unusual stature and strength that prompted her father to sell her to a traveling oddity show when she was fourteen. While caged up, she was noticed and rescued by a man named Rupert Villiers. In Vivian's mind, Rupert saved her life and she owes him everything. No longer was she kept in cages, looked at weirdly and laughed at. With him, she had a home and was treated like a real daughter. She trusts him explicitly, but when Temple escapes and Rupert sends Vivian after him without divulging any pertinent information, she begins to doubt Rupert's loyalty. And after spending time with Temple, she is soon torn between her allegiance to Rupert and her increasing affection for Temple.

Both Temple and Vivian are compelling characters with haunted pasts. They've both been hurt by people who were supposed to love them and each has a valid reason for being alone. However, their immediate attraction and the acts that follow cause them both to reconsider their solitude. With Temple, Vivian feels desirable and like a woman for the first time in her life. With Vivian, Temple finds the love and passion he has constantly craved yet always denied himself.

Ms. Smith had her work cut out for her with this book. Not only did she need to provide a romance for Temple and Vivian, she also had to tie up the loose ends left at the end of each of the previous four books. She did a great job of balancing both. Temple and Vivian's relationship was firmly established and growing (with lots of hot love scenes!) before the previous couples made their appearances and the final culmination began. At no time did I feel like there was too much going on and I believe that anyone who hasn't read the prior books could pick this one up and fit right in. As someone who has read the other books in the series, it was wonderful to see and catch up with old friends again. I absolutely adored the epilogue and thought it was so fitting and perfect! I'm really sad to see this series end, but am grateful to Ms. Smith for introducing me to a whole new world of romance and for convincing me that vampires really are sexy!

4.5 Stars - Great Conclusion To A Wonderful Series
This is another great book in the Brotherhood of the Blood series. I really enjoyed reading about Temple and Vivian. Although, they could not fully trust each other at first, the chemistry between these two characters sizzled all the way through. Their relationship was definitely passionate. Also, it was nice to see all the other members of the Brotherhood again. Smith tied up any loose ends from the series making Night After Night a satisfying conclusion to this outstanding series.

Wanted to last..
Well--what a way to conclude this wonderful fantasy. I loved the books,the characters, and their stories. I'm going to miss it. Great job Kathryn!
