We first met Danika MacConn in "A Kiss Of Midnight", the first book in the Midnight Breed series.  She was the mate of Conlan MacConn, a warrior of the Order that was killed in battle.  When her mate was killed, Danika was also pregnant with their first son.  She had decided to the Order and went back to her homeland, Denmark.Danika was invited by Conlan's family to attend a ball in Scottland where she overhears an alarming conversation between a bunch of males.  Caught as they walk in from the conversation, Danika has an altercation with one of the males, Reiver, who is a well-known crime boss in Edinburgh and Danika is now the center of his wrath.  She is then confronted by Brannoc, a male very familiar to her but she can't remember where she knows him from.  He tells her to stay away from Reiver and out of his business.  Danika is used to being the mate of a Breed warrior, so when she hears that something terrible is about to happen, she will do all in her power to try and stop it.  She gets herself in further trouble and now she has to worry about protecting herself and her baby, Conner from a madman.Brannoc is a tortured hero who has endured many horrors to get to where he is now.  He is Reiver's bodyguard and a man on a mission.  The last person he ever expected to see again or for Reiver to set his sights on is Danika, a female he knew in his past.  Now he has to try and save Danika from becoming Reiver's next victim.  Will he jeopardize his mission to save her?For all you Gideon fans, he also makes a short appearance in this story while trying to help Danika.I really enjoyed this story.  I was so happy to see Danika finally get a happy ending.  I remember crying my eyes out when she found out that her mate, Conlan was killed.  We didn't get to learn much about her in the previous books, but this certainly makes up for it.  It was also nice to know that a part of Conlan lives on through baby Conner.  For a short story, it had everything - action, suspense and love and it was not rushed or thrown together.I give A TASTE OF MIDNIGHT 4 1/2 STARS.
