Book Reviews of Taken by the Night (The Brotherhood of Blood, Book 3)
Book Review: Can a Thief's Heart Be Stolen?
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot stress how much I'm enjoying Kathryn Smith's series!
Taken By The Night, took me away with Saint. The vampire I had heard about in the first two books, so I was excited to find this book focusing on him.
In Taken By The Night, the backdrop of the story revolves around what appears to be a sinister serial killer. Taking into the consideration of the historical time frame of this book, I was surprised to find how Ms. Smith weaved in the killings and related them to Jack The Ripper. She did a wonderful job pulling off this plot!
Now in this story we meet Saint and Ivy. Ivy is not new to vampires, and is very aware of their existence from a very young age. However, she develops a fascination, or crush at a young age for our dear vampire called Saint.
Saint, now what can I say about a vampire who's peaked my interest from the very first book in this series. A thief, a man who adores women and one who's heart fell prey to a terrible tragedy of unmentionable loss. Saint, a very skilled thief finds his heart is stolen by a woman who is determined to have him one way or the other.
As the story goes, Saint comes into the lives of Ivy and her mother to investigate a hideous murder. There's not much the infamous local police can do, that is until Saint comes closer to finding the murderer. However, he finds his hands full with protecting Ivy, who's also determined to find the killer.
Ivy is not your normal sit at home and wait kind of person. She wants to find the killer, and finds herself more attracted to Saint every day. She hates him, she loves him and practically wants to ravish him...oh but Saint tries to maintain a cool head. He knows if he allows himself to fall prey in the arms of Ivy...he won't be able to focus on anything but her.
Without giving too much of the plot away, I found this book very delightful as Ivy fought hard to gain the attention of said vampire Mr. Saint. She played a very good game. Her very last attempt to bed this vampire was hilarious, a demise worth recording. I loved the scene, laughed aloud several times before the two actually made it through the love scene.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves a strong female character, a stubborn vampire and just a good romance. In my opinion, Kathryn Smith will not disappoint you by bringing you mystery, page turning suspense, sexual tension and the joy of falling in love. Brilliant!

Ivy Dearing, daughter of the infamous Madam, has requested my assistance. Two of her friends have been murdered, and she is determined to find their killer. I know better than to agree to help, yet Ivy is impossible to resist. No stranger to vampires, she has awakened desires within me that are as potent as my thirst for blood?desires that can only be satisfied by Ivy herself. But when there is another murder, it is all I can do to protect the woman I love from an evil more powerful than the undead . . .
