He’s hunting me, and there’s nowhere to run.
East Berlin, 1963. I thought I understood the consequences of trying to flee to the West. Death. Imprisonment without trial. Instead I’m being hunted by the most dangerous man in the city, secret police officer Reinhardt Volker.
Now I’m his prize, no longer a traitorous factory girl but his elegant and pampered secretary. He wants to possess me, body, soul – and heart. I’ll do anything to get away from him, but first that means getting closer.
I want to feel only hatred for my captor but beneath his uniform I discover a man with a past as scarred as Berlin’s.
And if I don’t escape him soon it will be too late.

Review
Fünf deutsche Stars! This book is sinfully sexy and darkly provocative.
“I am der Mitternachtsjäger, and you are my prey. I always catch my prey.”
Heiliger Himmel! Midnight Hunter is one of the best Dark Historical Romance I had the pleasure to read. This book took my breath away. I absolutely love everything about it. This is not the first time I’ve read something from Brianna Hale. Her writing is wickedly brilliant, dark and addictive.
Because of this book I want to learn German. From now on, I won’t see with the same eyes the Germany History, especially the time where this book takes place. I could feel the hardworking and research the author did in every page. I will remember Reinhardt and Ebony’s story every time I read or watch an historical documental about the Berliner Mauer or the Cold War.
Brianna delivers a dark historical romance full of sensual passion, control, lust, submission and political issues. As an internationalist I fell in love with the story. The historical context left me with an open mouth because once again I confirm that politics can affect relationships. The way we think and feel always make us vulnerable to reject loving someone with different likes. In this world politics and religion pull us apart, they divide us and don’t let us live freely.
The period of time in which the story develops is characterized by the division of a country that after the Second World War was devastated. The countries that won the war were the ones that divided the cake. They divided a great nation like Germany. They didn’t only divide a country; they divided a society. The political thoughts of that time were strongly nationalistic, to the extent of dividing families and friends in defence of that twisted nationalism.
I wonder why the author took the Cold War as scenery of her book. It fits perfectly to the plot. The story line is well developed and the characters are complex and strong. The heroine is a traitor and the hero is a military knight. Both are different but at the same time too similar.
“You are not frightened are you, Liebling? There is no need. You are not a lamb who walks into the lion’s lair to face the lion. You walk in at his side.”
This book is a mortal pleasure for any reader who craves a substantial story with dark touches. Midnight Hunter mixes the better of two subgenres: Historical and Dark Romance. Volker remind me of why I should find a German boyfriend. They say that German men are loyal and they love strongly. Who doesn’t want a strong, dominant and handsome military officer? Yes, you read well. This book contains a military knight who will protect you and will kill anyone who tries to hurt you.
“But I’m not powerless now. So you see, Liebling, if anyone hurts you, and I’m able to, I will kill them.”
Dear Lord! Brianna Hale had me at the edge of a heart attack! I had the most pleasurable experience by reading this masterpiece. This book will make a good movie. Midnight Hunter deserves trillion stars. I devoured it. This book will have a special place in my bookshelf. I urge to read this book. Fall in love with Reinhardt and Ebony’s story.
“You are my Valkyrie, and I want you strong. If you are strong then there’s nothing that can touch you.”

Excerpt
‘No. I will not let you go.’ His mouth is close to my ear and he doesn’t need to speak above a harsh, sinister whisper. ‘You don’t need reminders of your old life as you are never going back. Do you understand? This is your life now. You’re mine.’
Hearing him lay it out so coldly and brutally takes my breath away. I wish his housekeeper and secretary could see him now. They haven’t felt him ruthlessly hunt them down, catch them, possess them. Take sadistic pleasure in trapping them, body and soul. ‘You can’t make me forget who I am. I’ll always remember, and I’ll always hate you for what you’ve done.’
‘Oh?’ There’s so much scorn and amusement in that one brief question. His breath is warm against my ear and I feel him looking down at me, enjoying that he has me his mercy. He plants a slow, tender kiss on the side of my neck and I feel my pulse thundering beneath his lips. It’s a kiss that belies the cold cruelty of his words and the steel of his embrace. It’s the kiss of a lover, soft and sensuous, and something clenches low in my belly in response.
I expected cruelty, and armed myself against brutality, but I wasn’t prepared for this. I wasn’t prepared for him to be gentle and I don’t know how to fight it. He shifts his arms, one hand moving to caress my throat and I draw in a soft breath of surprise and need. He feels it, and his lips move up to my jaw, trailing burning kisses.
No, please, I don’t want this. He can’t strip me of my will to resist him along with everything else. I will garb myself in hatred for him. I will steep my body in antipathy and rage. Even so, it takes every ounce of strength I have to speak. ‘I’ll never be yours.’
But it comes out as a breathy whisper, not the defiant shout I wanted it to be.
His lips curve into a smile against my throat. ‘Oh, Liebling. Yes, you will. I have not even begun to try and you are already giving in.’
