About this listen

Stewart Glen, Scotland - 1514

Masked in a Gypsy guise, Broderick MacDougal hides his vampiric identity while seeking to destroy the man who slaughtered his family. When an old Clan rival ensnares Broderick in a trap using an enticing widow, he is compelled to discover if she is bait or an accomplice, and the cinnamon-haired beauty is his next conquest.

Widow of an abusive husband, Davina Stewart-Russell clings to the only image that gave her strength during those dark times - the Gypsy rogue who stole her heart as a youth. After nine years, she is finally face-to-face with him again, but reality clashes with fantasy as she is confronted with Broderick's passionate pursuit.

When Davina's past returns to haunt her, Broderick is forced to reveal a dark secret worse than anything Davina thought possible. The challenge before them has fatal risks and neither of them is prepared for the sacrifices expected for the sake of eternal love.

Listener Advisory: The abridged version of Midnight Conquest still includes all the original storyline details, action and nail-biting scenes of violence and domestic abuse. (Don't worry...the bad guys get it in the end!). However, the love scenes have been edited and are no longer described in graphic and direct language, in order to appeal to a wider audience. As such, there are no more "glistening folds" details. (Collective groan of disappointment ensues...) Though this story can be enjoyed by listeners slightly younger than 18, parental discretion is still advised.

Very sexy historical paranormal romance!

Midnight Conquest is the first book in the Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles series and introduces sexy Scottish vampire Broderick MacDougal and his beloved mortal soulmate.

Set in sixteenth century Scotland, this is a historical paranormal romance and a genre that I have not read before, but the series as a whole really intrigued me and I could not turn it down when given the opportunity to read it. The book starts with Broderick's turning and the reason behind his need to avenge his family. Under a gypsy guise, Broderick then meets thirteen year old Davina and steals her young heart. Years later, Davina and Broderick meet again, Broderick recognises her as his soulmate but Davina is now trapped in a loveless marriage to an abusive man. When Davina's husband dies in battle, Broderick sets out to seduce her, but with secrets, lies, family feuds, mythical prophecies, and ghosts from the past returning, can Broderick and Davina really find their happy ever after.

Midnight Conquest is a very captivating book but be prepared to invest a bit of time because it is quite a long, it is well worth reading though as there is plenty of romance, angst and action to make this a real page turner. The romance between Broderick and Davina is very well written and comes across very clearly as being a soul deep connection. They have great sexual tension and Arial Burnz definitely knows how to write scorching hot sex scenes!

David Monteath really brings this story alive. Broderick is a very sexy and seductive character and to have his words spoken to you is quite the experience! This is an abridged version of the book, but if it had not been shortened, I thing it would have been too long. This is a great adaptation with an excellent choice of narrator.
