I got these two books because I enjoyed The Ravencliff Bride & The Falcon's Bride. However, Blood Moon and The Brotherhood were big disappointments.
BLOOD MOON - Jon Hyde-White is changed. Soon he will cease to be an earl's second son and become a ravening monster. Already lust grows, begging him to drink blood and the blood of his fiance Cassandra Thorpe will be sweetest of all.
Is that not why the blasphemous creature Sebastian bursts upon them from the London shadows? But Sebastian's evil task remains incomplete, and neither Jon nor Cassandra is beyond hope. One chance remains in faraway Moldavia, in a secret brotherhood, in an ancient ritual and in the power of love.
THE BROTHERHOOD - Joss Hyde-White leaves London for answers about who and what he is. What he finds is a carriage, and a scene of horror interrupted within. A chestnut-haired beauty lies prone, requiring his assistance. But safety is not easily provided.
On this night that brings to mind vampires and the foulest creatures of myth, it is difficult to tell man or woman from beast. From this moment forward, no one and nothing can be trusted not even his own instincts. Joss is on the road to the truth, leading to the secret of his parents, to the Blood Moon Rite of ancient Persia, to an enigmatic Gypsy and The Brotherhood.

Actually, I think all three books in the Blood Moon series by the late Dawn Thompson to be exceptional.
John Charles of Chicago Sunday Tribune called them > "An inventive hybrid of Regency historical and dark, sexy paranormal romance, Dawn Thompson's "Blood Moon" is wildly imaginative and wonderfully entertaining."
The third in the series, The Ravening, was 4 1/2 stars from Romantic Times, and was a TOP PICK.
Thompson had plans for three more in the series at the time of her death. I am sorry those tales are lost.
