I've decided to write a new blurb for this book. I promise it will be a billion times more exciting than the book itself! Spoilers ahead. But honestly, you know how this book ends.
INNOCENCE
She was so young and beautiful, fresh as a flower, bright as a ray of light, with the guileless eyes of a newborn babe...
ANGST
But he was a monster, a dark monster with no soul, and they could never be together...
DEFILEMENT
Her virginity was a temptation and a prize, one that he could never take because she was much too pure for his demon peen... until one night when he fell victim to his overwhelming lust...
JEALOUSY
Despite their undeniable love, he threw her at the mercy of human courtship, and it tortured him to know another man wanted her... But whatever, they still slept together.
BETRAYAL
She killed to save his life, and he knew his darkness had touched her and she was no longer pure...
HAPPINESS
But then he meditated for several months and realized he was a stupid, wishy-washy idiot. At last, they could be together!
THE END

This is the second of my two favorite Amanda Ashley novels. The plot and characters are equally mesmerizing, although this book has a different feel. However, the basic conflict is the same: a lonely, tortured vampire falls in love with a young girl who is all innocence and light. One could say that this is already a hackneyed story, but Ashley somehow turns what could merely be a formulaic plot into something fresh and exciting, thus pulling her readers into the tale, inexorably keeping them there, too, until the very end.
It is precisely Ashley's ability to pull readers into her stories that I believe make her books so utterly addictive. The reader readily identifies with the heroine, and so, this somehow becomes the reader's story, as well. I can definitely affirm that this is what happened to me as I read.
Analisa, an orphaned teenage girl, lies dying in a hospital. Then, one night, a mysterious stranger appears next to her bed, and gently orders her to drink something that restores her health. Dr. Martinson, her attending physician, refuses to believe her when she insists that a strange man has visited her hospital room. The good doctor can only marvel at her complete recovery.
Released from the hospital a few days later, Analisa receives a note from someone named Alesandro de Avalone. This mysterious person invites her to spend an extended holiday at his residence, Blackbriar Hall. Analisa is taken completely by surprise at this, since she has never heard of this man.
She makes her way to Blackbriar Hall, which is the typical dark, Gothic mansion. It's even raining as she arrives, accompanied by flashes of lightning followed by rolling thunder. Granted, this sounds quite stereotypical. Nevertheless, the reader is intrigued by the mystery of Alesandro de Avalone. What could possibly be his interest in this young orphan girl? Naturally, it turns out that he is the stranger who appeared in Analisa's hospital room.
There are similarities with A Darker Dream at this point in the story; Analisa, like Rhianna, is given a tutor so that she might learn to read. In this book, the tutor turns out to be the housekeeper, Mrs. Thornfield, who has been with Lord de Avalone for years. Her name is obviously a nod to Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, for the Gothic house in that novel was named, as any Bronte fan knows (and I count myself among them!), Thornfield Hall.
Alesandro has a mortal enemy-- Rodrigo, another vampire. The struggle between these two vampires -- one saddened by his transformation, and intent on sparing human lives from himself, while the other one vengefully engages in murder -- is one of the things that make this novel so fascinating. Alesandro is as ethical and good as his nature permits him to be. Rodrigo revels in killing, in causing suffering, not only to his hapless victims, but to Alesandro as well. So here we have the eternal battle between good and evil.
The love story between Analisa and Alesandro is sweet, beautiful, and tender. There are, however, some strong resemblances to Jane Eyre; not only in the atmosphere, but in the way the two leads relate to one another, although Analisa is definitely not anywhere as interesting a character as Jane Eyre. The same may be said of Alesandro, who cannot compare to Edward Rochester. Still, I do have a soft spot for him.
I found the pacing perfect, the plotting excellent, and the conflict between the two vampires was very realistically depicted. I do think that Rodrigo was more of a cardboard villain, though.
There is no miraculous ending to this novel, as there is with A Darker Dream. However, the conflicts in the story are resolved in a very satisfactory manner, and I found this to be a very enjoyable read!

Very typical historical vampire romance.
Now, yes, that sounds very weird as a sentence but... it has many typical tropes you'd see. Virgin young girl falling for older, sexy vampire who's smart and rich. Bad guys. Main guy not wanting to ruin her. Temptation. You know the fix.
I liked it! I wanted something to just disappear in and not think, and this book was marvelous. I just let myself enjoy the story. But for readers coming in, it's nothing new in the genre. Not every book has to me, but I want to put that feeler out there.
Regardless, nice read. I want to read more by Amanda Ashley. This was a nice brain break for me.
Three out of five stars.

This is going to sound kinda funny...but my mom found this book today under her bed...and I happened to be there and I was like "Hey, can I read that!?" In a bored voice she says, "It has vampires in it," I say..."so, I don't mind vampires..." where then she responds with..."Jess, its a romance novel!" Apparently my mom still thinks I'm a little kid and cannot handle reading about vampires...but worst of all is the romance part cause everyone knows it gets all heated and such. lol.
Needless to say, I talked her into letting me borrow it. And so far its pretty dang good. Hope it stays that way...
Very good book! I liked it! *smiles*

If you LOVED "A Darker Dream" then you will probably almost love this one better! I can't decide which one of the two I like more. I have re-read this one often too. This one has a stronger heroine, but there is a little something at the end that is upsetting, but then the VERY end is GREAT!

Summarization of the book:
Vampire -hero troubled by the whole "life without sun-murders-sucking blood-dead by day" package.
Heroine "pure, innocent, boring", in needs of help.
The vampire-hero saves her. They fell in love. He tries to say "I am not the one for you, I am a monster, bla bla bla" but their love is so strong they can't be apart. Comes the evil character of the story, another vampire with a vendetta plans and who ,of course, targets the heroine.
Vampire-hero kills vampire-evil.
Vampire-hero agrees to make the pure heroine vampire too.
End of story.
The only reason why I give 2 stars instead of 1 is for the "gothic feeling" this story had that was quite pleasant... the rest sadly wasn't good.
The story wasn't so bad but didn't really had much originality... and I really didn't understand the ending.
If two vampires can't stay in the same place because they are very territorial...how Analisa and Alesandro can be together if he makes her a vampire too? She would need to go away as the ex house keeper did...

OMG this is my first Amanda Ashley book. I've read a handful of paranormal authors and I think Amanda Ashley just might be my favorite. Her novels are good without being overly dramatic. I just wish she would write the coupling of her characters with more "action".

This book was the first book by Amanda Ashley that I have read years ago and the story was mezmerizing! It encoraged me to read other related books.

Personally I felt Midnight Embrace by Amanda Ashley is a fantastic, appealing vampire novel, and I'm looking forward to reading more of the authors novels in the future.

Find a formula and beat it to death.
Poor girl has to live in a castle with a vampire. I already read one book by this author with the same premise, Bound by Night.
I will keep on reading to confirm that Amanda Ashley is indeed a computer program.

He was more than 400 years old. She was 17 years old. He was an old pig attracted by sweetness, innocence and, of course, her virginity. He was a freaking PEDOPHILE!!! Am I the only one that have problems with this? Astonishing, but maybe not so much, because he was handsome and rich, right? If he were ugly and poor, even acting just like Alesandro does in the book, we would have screamed from the top of our lungs! Sick bitches!
Besides all that (it should have been enough, but nope, there is more!!!), the idiocy of the dialogues in the book is so deep, it seems a 12 years old wrote it! Example? Here: “For now, let us be happy together.” Really?? So, holding hands, they skipped along the path to the fairy garden? Because I swear, that’s exactly the image I saw in my mind when I read that!

I had mixed feelings about this book. It dragged in places, the female character a young seventeen year old girl yes was naive and ignorant of the fact that her benefactor was a Vampire, but the author didn't give the storyline enough excitement and suspense or appeal. Alesandro was a fourhundred year old vampire but lacking in his strength and strategy to go after what he wanted namely Annalisa. Wasn't all bad he wanted her to decide and make her own decisions, it's just in my opinion it took to long for it to happen and got boring reading about all of Annalisas day in and day out happenings.

Is there an echo in here?
The same thing was said over and over. I wanted to like it...but struggled to get through it.
It read, for me, like a story written by someone new to writing. Not even close to Kenyon or Feehan. This author seems to play tee ball next to those major leaguers.

Deeply emotional and moving, as you travel to back to a time of being courted, and chaperoned in public as was proper for young ladies. There were moments I cried with the tenders of loves first touch. Although he was a vampire, but his love for her is only what all women dream about. She loves him in return despite his own contempt for what he is.

Its a Good read
I liked the book just hated that it dragged on for so long and at the end she wants to change to a vampire and that's it...It definitely leaves your readers stunned that that is the end disappointed in many ways :(

I liked it
Liked the plot of this one more than the others. There were more antagonists and a lot more drama to be had.

Good read. But.....
This book had a premature ending which I did not care for...at all!! Better editing was much needed. I will not be purchasing more books by this author.

Not bad
It would be a great book but in places it really felt like things were rushed or skipped. Id suggest reading this while waiting for something better.

I loved this book! The wintery weather is THE ideal weather to read this in.
I loved the Gothic horror elements seeping through from the vampire Alesandro's first deposit at Analisa's bedside blood bank (we open the on line "she was dying"... and then Analisa's watching a creature prowl around her hospital bed, and only she can see him. The doctor's just going about his business. That would me question my sanity), to the carriage ride where Analisa glimpses a wolf racing alongside said carriage, fur black as midnight and blue eyes that match the creature's from the hospital, and further still to the couple's first meeting in labyrinthine woods beneath the moonlight, just before Analisa touches the crypt door...
The story on its own is both strong and weak; the love story/growth of Analisa and Alesandro was the strong side. I like that he tested her, made her sleep/wake up next to his lifeless body to see the reality of loving him forever; even if she chose to remain mortal, he'd be essentially dead until dusk. And she sticks it out, but not without hesitation (she contemplates stabbing him through the heart, but decides against it, tossing the knife into the fire instead). I like the angst. Rather than finding his pushing her to pursue other men annoying, it's oddly kind of him; he's not keeping her from a normal life, just keeping in perspective that his life has been a lonely one. And a long one. It would be selfish if he did expect commitment from the jump just because he offered her a place to live/means to do so. Also, he doesn't take advantage of her lack of family or age, instead using that to push her further into human life by telling her "you shouldn't give up your want of children and a husband who can walk in the sun". We always forget that vampires don't have it all. They just have the opposite side of a coin. And that scene when he mentally let Analisa inside his memories, the early days of his vampirism... and she says nothing, just holds him close... 😭.
RIP to Sally and Robert. Hopefully they died doing what/whom they loved?
The homages are there and to me, acted like a "Where's Waldo" of tributes:
-An orphaned young girl arriving via carriage on a cold rainy night to a new home, a large imposing one at that, with a bad town rep to boot=Du Maurier's Jamacia Inn.
-Alesandro's housekeeper is named Mrs. Thornfield=Rochester's house in Jane Eyre is Thornfield Hall.
-Mrs. Thornfield being in love with Alesandro is kind of like a twist on another Du Maurier work, Rebecca.
-The descriptions of the breakfasts eaten, the rooms explored, all done by a young girl who felt rather out of place and overwhelmed despite being asked to come there=the unnamed heroine in Rebecca.
-Alesandro calling Analisa to the trees where his crypt lies/the portraits depicting Alesandro looking into reflective surfaces and seeing a wolf rather than a man=Coppola's Dracula
-When a lesser known Sheridan Le Fanu work is mentioned, I was like "Huh. Bit of a missed opportunity there, bud". And then one page over, Analisa is reading Carmilla aloud to Alesandro is his study 👀❤️🌹?!? AHHH!!!!
Of course the weaker elements were the big bad vamp, Rodrigo (his connection/appearances felt tacked on) and Mrs. Thornfield being in love with Alesandro felt unnecessary to me.
But the writing was just so damn immersive! I could feel the rain drops, taste the hot cocoa, and picture every room and dress donned. And can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that it appears that Ms. Ashley composes the opening poems herself? Well, played A. Ashley 🎩.
Of course I had songs playing to heighten the Gothic groove:
-"Carpe Noctem"-Tanz Der Vampire
-"Suspiria (Celesta and Bells)"-Goblin
-"Tonight, Tonight"-Both P!ATD Live in Denver cover and the Strings Alone Mix by The Smashing Pumpkins versions.
... Honestly, I just put my Varen/Isobel playlist on shuffle and let it play 🎧.

Nope. Just nope.
The story begins with a dying woman. But, seriously, it's hard to recognize. She's lying in a bed in a hospital, but it takes a while to understand, that it's a hospital - it could be a bed in her own house. Shouldn't there be some medical stuff? Like, I don't know, ECG? Drip? Something? Shouldn't there be a nurse?
The woman is dying because of an epidemic (no name. What a surprise. If an author had named a disease, she would have done a research). And, again, there's no sign of this epidemic. The doctor walks around without any preventions. No msk on face, no gloves, no disinfectants.
Next: she recovers, thanks to mysterious stranger (vampire, ofc - but no one knows about him). What does doctor do? He lets her go. Come on, she underwent an epidemic and overcame it! She should be examined thoroughly, maybe she hides something, that could prevent that epidemic in future? She leaves hospital, but it turns out, that she has no place to live - her family died, and her house was burnt. Erm...? Which year do we have? Because, you know, in XXI century the house would rather be fumigated...
As soon as she leaves, the doctor (did he have any name...?) runs after her and gives her a letter. Okay, I dont't know how it looks like in USA, but in Poland it's unthinkable. Seriously, doctors are really busy, they don't run after their patients.
I didn't read whole book, it's too stupid for me.
