I’ve only read one of Kathryn Smith‘s Brotherhood of the Blood series, but it was very good. And it made me really want to read this book, Let the Night Begin. It’s the story of Reign and his estranged wife and I can tell it promises to be a great read.
Luckily too, Kathryn Smith is a wonderful author for she’s giving away two ARC’s of the book, which is due out June 24, 2008. How do you enter? I’ll tell ya. . .
A Vampire Will Not Rest Until He Satisfies His Hunger . . .
And what I, Reign, hungered for most of all was Olivia Gavin. I have never met a woman more beautiful, more tantalizing, and so I made her my bride. She promised me her heart and soul . . . in return, I plundered her flesh, and bound her to me for all eternity. Then, terrified of what I’d made her, she fled.
Now she has returned, desperate for my help in saving her beloved nephew. But my assistance comes at a price: She must share my bed once more, for the feel of her soft skin, the heat of her kiss, excite me still. And I know she desires me, even as she resists her own heart.
Yet, as we rediscover the passion that brought us together, an enemy waits to destroy us both . . .

Has there ever been a time in your love life that you found out something that could make you run away?
Oh yes, most definitely. I was young and stupid and… afraid. Granted, looking back it was something I could not have helped him with, but to this day the man remains what I consider to be my first real love.(I found out he had an addiction) And I was a HUGE chicken, I left in the middle of the night while he slept.
A long time ago–yikes, I’m old!–I suspected that the man I was seeing was dealing pot. The relationship ended shortly after that–and yes, that was definitely a major reason to end a relationship.
When I was in college I found out that the guy who I was engaged to, cheated on me every time he went home. Needless to say the relationship ended on a bad note.
Has there ever been a time in your love life that you found out something that could make you run away? Or did you stay? Tell us why!
Yes – I found out after a year and half that my fiance was seeing another woman secretly for the first 4 months that we were engaged. I found out after I left him but I wish I knew during those 4 months – because I wouldn’t have wasted a year and 2 months with him.
I ran because my ex was involved in fraud and basically was an idiot! I ran all the way back to another country, and he followed me, so then I put up with him for a while longer for my son’s sake, but in the end he couldn’t help himself. Now he is someone else’s problem…and I am glad of that!

Does finding out I was pregnant count? Lots of running instincts then heh
i have wanted to run away from love a few times – one time i did. my boyfriend was mad at me and we had a huge fight. to retaliate he slept with one of my sorority sisters. boo.

I found out that one guy who had been chasing me, was also wanting this other girl and told others living in the house not to write down on the message book when she called him so that I wouldn’t know that he was talking to her. I wanted to drop him because he was sneaky, but not because he wanted to hang with this other girl.
I told him I knew what he was doing and that if he wanted her to go for it, I didn’t care, which I didn’t, but that if he was ever sneaky with me again, I would leave him in a second and never look back. We did stay together for a couple of years.
Don’t enter me in the contest. I already have this book on pre-order. I just wanted to say that I can’t wait for this one. Reign is the one I’ve been waiting for.
As for the question I ran once. The boyfriend I dated in high school started talking about marriage. I freaked and broke up with him. I kept thinking man I’m too young for marriage. The funny thing is I ended up marrying someone else at a young age..go figure. LOL!
You guys never fail to amaze me with your stories! I thought of running when I met a guy who was everything I wanted and needed in a man. Seriously, I could not believe he hadn’t treated me like crap, or simply left me and all my baggage. But, he was patient and sweet, terribly cute and one heck of a kisser. So, I stopped running and married him instead. I’m glad I did. 😉
I loved all three of Kathryn’s first three Brotherhood of the Blood books, but I think my favorite so far is Taken by the Night. I enjoyed the murder mystery, the setting, and the interesting dynamics between Ivy and Saint. My favorite scene is shamefully one of the sex scenes. I know, how could I? 😛 After a showing of Ivy’s artwork (she’s a photographer), Ivy and Saint can’t keep their hands (and mouths) off each other. Their passion starts in the carriage ride home and moves into her cottage. The whole build up to this scene, as well as the scene itself, was very sexy and sweet. Now I can’t wait to read Let the Night Begin!
I’m not really big on historicals, unless it’s men in kilts or pirates lol but I have really enjoyed this series.
I love the cover, and “reunion” romances are one of my favs. As for a time for running away, there was a period in the relationship with my then-boyfriend when we couldn’t seem to agree on anything and compatibility was a foreign word. We had the break-up conversation but the morning after I was determined to not let it end like that. We’re still together!
I was engaged just out of high school, and after several months of good times, he changed and started becoming overly jealous, imagining me flirting with others and accusing me of flaunting myself (the days of miniskirts and those short tie-up tops. One time we were on the highway going on a vacation and he accused me of ogling someone hitching on the highway out of the car window (never saw the guy), another time flirting with a friend we met at a game for all of 2 minutes. When I found myself being hesitant to talk with others guys around him and friend’s noticed the same, I finally decided to “run” and ended it. Glad I found out before a wedding day ever came.
I ran when I found out the guy was on the rebound and still hung up on his ex. I didn’t want to fight a losing battle.
