Midnight Mist
Three things I know about the planet
1. It’s home to the most famous miners in the four sectors.
2. My best friend is married to one of them.
3. If you take off your gloves and touch an unmated male, you could trigger a mating bond.
So when I attend the Dark Moon Costume Ball, I keep those gloves ON.
I also keep my distance from the brooding male in black who’s been staring at me all night like I’m his next meal. Sure, he’s devastatingly handsome and my body lights up like a supernova every time he’s near. But I’ve watched him make females cry with his harsh words, and I’m done with pretty men who treat people like garbage.
Then midnight strikes. Strange mist floods the cavern. The Xylan crumple around me.
And when I wake up, my glove is gone and my bare hand is clasped in his.
Oh no.
“You’re mine,” he growls.

What a great story!
I loved reading this story of Naomi and Chief. Her coming to visit her best friend Leah, goes from a nice escape from her family's betrayal, to the possibility of a great job, and housing, to finding a great big male. Not only does she discover that after initially a bad impression, he is kind, thoughtful, and loving to his family. Despite his growly demeanor, she feels deeply drawn to him! Something that she's never felt before. He really doesn't want to be at this celebration. He knows that the single females will annoy him by asking him to test for mating possibilities, but he knows immediately if there is a chance. The same way all the males of his line can. Simply by scent. He is compelled to get closer to the unknown human female, but so many things, and pesky females get in his way. He is finally able to talk to her, and really see if there is a chance. The ending is of course wonderful! They get a happy result, but circumstances around the mystery mist/ gas that knocks out every other being there, except the Fever brothers, and their mate still at the event. This brings up questions about the death of their parents, and the setting up of their family member to be banished. I am really looking forward to the next brother's story, and finding out who is really behind all the bad things that happened to their family line. I totally recommend that series, and any book by Michelle Mills. Trish. A.

I was hooked from the first page turn on this book, and now I want to read all of the other brother's books. This was sooo good from the moment that Naomi stepped into the room that had been set up for this big party for all these people that celebrated the special time of year. Naomi had escaped her situation to see her old roommate who was also her best friend. There is nothing more exciting than going to masked ball. Bayzon cannot keep his eyes off this new human that has entered the ballroom there is something about her that captures his attention. He can't help but be drawn to her. This book is sooo well-written and you have to finish it. I could not put this book down the chemistry is off the charts and such a joy to read. I cannot wait to see what happens with the remaining brothers and how this mystery that has been put throughout the books is solved. This is a must read!!!!!

This was a really fun read and I loved the idea of the masked party and having to guess who everyone was, with a prize for the last masked being standing. So fun! Naomi is there visiting her friend and looking for a fresh start. Little did she know that she had captivated Bayzon's attention completely. Of course, there's some drama and it causes some problems, especially her and Bayzon's gloves being off and having their skin touch. Yikes! Thankfully, they were both hot for each other and had time to connect before that drama to start learning each other. I love how willing she was to satisfy his culture's mating demands and that she truly gave it her all ;P These two had hot chemistry and I was thrilled they got their HEA, with family and friends to support them. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book to see if we find out more about who's causing all the dangerous mischief. Good fun!

Midnight Mist is the fifth book in the Fever Brothers series and I was so happy to be back on Timbur with the crew.
This novella follows Naomi who is visiting her best friend Leah on Timbur as well as joining the miners in celebrating their Dark Moon holiday.
Even though she is wearing gloves indicating the unmated, Naomi has no intention of removing them to trigger a mating bond with anyone, though the handsome masked Xylan stranger she keeps noticing in the crowd at the costume ball might change her mind.
The story was fun and nicely written with family dynamics, spice, mystery, and bonding as the stranger turns out to be Bayzon one of the brothers and some of Naomi’s observations about him turn out to be sooo wrong, and then pheromones take over!
Loved the characters, that tunnel mate hunt…yummy, and the wonderful HEA.

Midnight Mist is the fifth book in the Fever Brothers series by Michele Mills and I ADORED being back in this world and with these characters! The chemistry and connection always gets me caught in the FEELS!
Naomi is feisty and caring and has a strong moral compass. She wants to be accepted and loved for who she is, and has so much love to give to her partner.
Bayzon is fierce and growly and intimidating and completely mesmerized by the intriguing new person that's shown up. He's just trying to do the best by his family and his crew and she upends everything in the best possible way!
Some minor drama and inconveniences weave together a journey for our characters to navigate, but the trip is so very enjoyable for the reader! Hope you enjoy the chase as much as I did!

Another fever brother bites the dust!! Naomi is visiting her friend on Timbur and is spirited off to a fun filled Xylan masked ball. She is instinctively attracted to Bayzon, the chief of the fever brother mining crew and at midnight, a mineral mist changes everything. Another chase, another claiming, and another Xylan who always puts his woman first. A wonderful, steamy read with fun characters and no angst getting in the way of fated mates. But could danger be lurking? What a great series 🥰.

I have to say that I thought that I had read every book that Michele had written, obviously I was wrong.
This is the first book I have read in this series and all I can say is that I want more.
🔥
Bayzon and Naomi just blew my mind, This was an incredible read from start to finish. The immediate connection is mind blowing. I love a story that has an amazing HEA 💜🔥
Now I just need to read the previous books in this series.

I absolutely love the Fever Brothers. Chief and Naomi are a perfect example why. How sweet would life be if we could "scent" our mate? I loved this novella so much I can't help wishing it were longer..but that is a mark of a good book, never wanting it to end. The Fever Brothers are some of my favorite aliens. So gruff and growly. Always an HEA that has to be worked for..a bit. I completely recommend Midnight Mist and all of the Fever Brothers books. Enjoy!

Naomi is visiting her friend on Timbur. Where she attends a fancy dress ball. She is in for the night of her life and a life changing one at that.

“Midnight Mist” by Michele Mills
-Returning to the Fever Brothers world was a delight, with Bayzon finally finding his mate. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.
Naomi is strong, warm-hearted, and easy to root for, while Bayzon is growly, devoted, and irresistible. Sweet, steamy, and fun, this novella delivers fated mates, a masked ball, and a satisfying happy ending.

Love the Fever Brothers. This time Chief aka Bayzon finds his bride. This quick read basically takes place at a costume ball - instant attraction, a brooding male lead and a hesitant female lead fill the pages, which ends with an ongoing mystery.

Love the fever brothers!
Naomi comes to visit her friend Leah, one of the fever brothers brides. At a large masked costume party she sees Chief across the room, they both feel a pull to each other. Every time they get close someone stops them to talk.
Read this to find out what happens, great book! Can’t wait for scar and trunks stories.

this intriguing story had me connecting with Bayzon and Naomi. They connect at a party and the chemistry between them is intense and when a mist is released, she wakes up with her hand in Bayzon setting off the mating. It is a well written story that had me connecting with the characters.

The author taken us to another time and place to pull us into the lives of Naomi and Bayzon. The heartwarming story keeps us turning the pages with an unexpected connection, alien traditions and love. The story leaves us with a mini cliffhanger that leads into the next book.

Fever brothers
I forgot how much I loved the fever brother books. I can't wait to see what happens with the last two unmated brothers and what really happened to their parents.

I love the Fever Brothers and have missed getting to be in their world! This story is a very quick read and has all the best tropes like fated mates, protective hunky alien, and found family. I loved how Naomi and Bayzon felt such a pull to each other right from the beginning. I enjoyed it a lot and am really hoping we will get the rest of the brothers' stories!
