Once again Kim Loraine proves why she is and always will be one of my absolute favorite authors! This book wrecked me. If you didn’t feel the love, longing and heartbreak as you read, you didn’t read it right.
Kim Loraine made me fall even more in love with Lucas. Just from the glimpses we got of him in Cashel’s story I fell for him, but now I’m never letting him go!! Lucas was a bad boy with a big soft heart, especially when it came to Briar. Lucas, ever the wild untamed Blackthorne. I fell, hook line and sinker for this beautiful man.
And my goodness, Briar. This beautiful, rebellious, wild soul. Briar is one of my favorite heroines I have ever read!! She is strong and resilient, she fights and is loyal to herself and those she cares deeply for. She is without a doubt a “lovely wild wolf”.
“I wasn’t saving it for anyone but me, Mother. My body isn’t a prize for a man. It’s mine to do with as I see fit.”
The chemistry and soul deep love that Briar and Lucas shared was absolutely stunning. I was literally swooning all over the place.
“I will. I swear to you, everything I know you will. Everything we do, we’ll do together. I will not leave you to wade through this alone. You are mine to protect and cherish.” “And you’re mine.”
Throughout this story I was completely and utterly captivated. The push and pull; the honor, duty and loyalty; the desire and love. This story had it all. I felt every emotion as these character wadded through love, loss and life. I was right there with them from page one until the very end. The feeling Kim Loraine invokes from me as I read is nothing short of
astonishing.
*that cliffhanger though!!!*
Kim Loraine is beyond talented. She makes me fall in love with her characters, her storylines and all around feel when I read. I could get lost in her stories for hours, days, weeks on end. A forever reader right here.
Midnight Prince: Blackthorne Bloodlines #1 is a pager turner combining my love of vampires and shifters. Lucas and Briar are fated mates but ones that should never be together, a vampire and a wolf. Briar is strong, beautiful and the daughter of an alpha. Lucas is sexy and branded a bastard but that does’t stop him from wanting his wild wolf.
Watching these two come together is explosive and keeps you wanting more. Of course my Paranormal queen left me on the edge of a cliff with “The end…for now.”
Kim Loraine is forever and always one of my “one-click auto buys”, and Midnight Prince has only reinforced her place on my favorites list. This book sent me through the wringer in the best way… it was a delicious slow burn full of love, loss, and heartbreak that made me feel ALL THE THINGS!
Lucas, ever the wild and untamed Blackthorne, is the ultimate Bad Boy with a past. Heartless and cruel after heartbreak, he doesn’t care about anyone or anything anymore. I fell in love with Lucas and his struggles. He is the bad boy with a soft heart, especially when it comes to the woman who claims his heart.
Briar at first seems like an unlikely match for our tortured hero, but she quickly proved me wrong with her fight, her sass and her willingness to defy those that held her back. This beautiful, rebellious, wild soul. She is strong and resilient; she fights and is loyal to herself and those she cares deeply for. She is without a doubt a “lovely wild wolf”.
Their story asks the ultimate question, can a forbidden love between a vampire and wolf flourish amidst all the darkness and obligations that surround them? Will love conquer all or will pack and family obligations decimate everything else?
I loved exploring Lucas’s history. He intrigued me In the first three books in the series, and I have to admit I was nervous of where his story was headed. At the end, I thought I couldn’t be more heartbroken for him but that is blatantly untrue. Midnight Prince is heartbreaking and compelling in its entirety.
The chemistry and soul deep love that Briar and Lucas shared was absolutely stunning. I was literally swooning all over the place.
“I will. I swear to you, everything I know you will. Everything we do, we’ll do together. I will not leave you to wade through this alone. You are mine to protect and cherish.” “And you’re mine.”
Kim Loraine is beyond talented and I look forward to getting lost in her worlds with every new release, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series!
Side note: Midnight Prince is with the narrator as we speak and this just may be one of my most anticipated audiobooks of the year so far! Stay tuned for an updated review once the audiobook releases!

Fantastic job Kim, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Lucas’ story starts off soon after Blood Heir and Lucas is on a dark road. Dark but so good. This had me on an adrenaline rush with past secrets coming to life as well. I couldn’t stop reading. I felt everything for Lucas and gave me a different perspective to what was going on with him before. It’s heart wrenching at times and so sexy at others. I can’t wait for his conclusion.

Originally Lucas was supposed to seduce Briar and weaken Her pack, but they discovered they were soulmates. Poor Briar, so much deception, betrayal, and heartache. Interesting and engaging story with strong and memorable characters. Good read!

Wow!!! A spell binding book that keeps you on your toes! The drama. The romance. And omg – it ends in a cliffhanger!!!! Can’t wait til the next book!
Midnight Prince is Lucas Blackthorne’s book. I really liked it. It was angsty and sexy. I loved Lucas and Briar. Can’t wait for book two!
Midnight Prince is book one in Kim Loraine/K Loraine’s Blackthorne Bloodlines series. Be warned this does end on a cliffhanger.
Our story begins the same as any ill-fated romance. Two households, two families, two species that should never be together.

Well what can I say, that can honestly do Lucas justice. The Human-Vampire brother has had one very rough life. I loved going back in time to the most darkest time in life for Lucas Blackthorne, oh my heart, Lucas has not had the happiest life. He has been berated by his father for having a human mother, meeting and loosing his mate, been banished, and finally loosing Liv. How much more can this guy take?
I did find some discrepancies in this book that clashed with Blackthorne Vampire Trilogy with Cashel’s character, like being able to read and communicate with his mind, as he wasn’t able to until he bonded with Liv. But it was weird reading about what he was like with Eliana compared to Olivier. Sorcha and Callie are still the same and fabulous. I really did enjoy getting to see these characters as they were before the sickness too Elias, and what had happened to make them as they are in the BVT.
This book is going to take you on an emotional roller coaster. This book is full of heartache, betrayal, love, lust, secrets, and sexy time, you’ll be rooting for the main characters and then there will be screaming at them. But overall you are going to be mentally drained with the emotions that pour off the pages.
I loved having an appearance from Galen, Devin and Gabriel, oh how I’ve missed these guys. Looks like I’m going to be rereading the Fallen Angel Trilogy. It’s the perfect excuse to have my fix with them.
I can’t wait to see what is going to happen in book two Midnight Hunter.
What a thrilling start to a new paranormal romance read. I loved the forbidden aspect of the storyline, it gave it a taboo factor that heightens the characters chemistry. Briar and Lucas love can’t be denied but their race forbids their coming together. What happens next makes for an edge of your seat romance read that doesn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this Romeo and Juliet like story.
