Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-26 00:00:00 Wayne Curtice Waiting for his lost love to be reincarnation has been torture for the hero. Hw surrendered to immortality just to be with her again and now, finally, he receives words she is returning to him. Bitter over what he feels was trickery by the high priestess to get him under her control, the hero just wants his love back so he can return to the life he once envisioned for himself before this nightmare began. The heroine has always felt different from those around her. As a child she could read the thoughts of others but she grew out of it, welcoming a calm and normal life instead. While on vacation in the woods of Rhode island, the heroine becomes lost. Frightened, wounded and cold she is recused by the sexy biker man from the tea shop. He takes her home cares for her tenderly and inspires within her the desire to act daringly and seductive. Totally out of nature for her, she falls into his bed and experiences a powerful sense of coming home. She feels like she's known him forever and though it frightens her, it also comforts her. They spend a magical weekend together, the hero even talks about marriage. But once Monday comes along, the heroine gets cold feet. Imagining what she felt for him to be nothing but fantasy and imagination, she tries to distance herself from him and her feelings. But he pleads with her to give him a chance. The idea of living without her is unbearable. He's just found her, there's no way he can ever let her go again. The first time nearly killed him. But her association with him puts her in danger. The enemy is old and ruthless and there's a chance she will be caught in the crossfire of his battle. It's this subsequent interference that reveals the hero's magical abilities. At first she is devastated he lied to her but soon, she comes to her senses. If being with him and helping to protect the people she loves means welcoming magic back in her life than the price to pay is cheap. But the hero's torn between the woman he loved and lost and the woman he loves now but can't abide sharing his affections. The hero must chose. Surrender the memory of his love to the past or lose the woman he loves now. How can he let go of this obsession after all these years and what will become of him if he can't? This book was good. I enjoyed the reality of it and the characterizations were both dramatic and contemporary. The hero was a tortured soul but on one hand, he perhaps brought that torture onto himself. He lost his love and surrendered to immortality to have the chance of seeing her again. In this he became bitter towards the high priestess who he felt tricked him and who enslaved him by playing on his emotions, That's not the case. He just wanted the heroine back instantly but he had to wait 200 years to find her again. He realized his mistake as the book progressed but he was so not the poor tortured hero one would think he was. He did also have the ability to joke and laugh. More so when the heroine came into the picture but he could play with his fellow immortals. He was caught in the dilemma of loving 2 woman whom he imagines to be one in the same when in truth are two separate. It's takes him some time to realize he fiancé is dead and the heroine is the love of his life regardless of her past. The heroine was very easy going in regards to the hero. She put up walls at first but when it came to having him call her his love after one weekend and even propose to her with his dead fiances ring, she was pretty lax. Only when he called her the other woman's name in bed did she make a stand. Which, hell, who wouldn't? I liked the book. It was a healthy mix of contemporary and paranormal and the fantasy element was unique I thought. Mythology, witches, gods and goddesses were present and it came together with a marvelous romance. I wished this series continued. I felt like the plan was to have other immortals have their story and find their true love but that never played out I guess. Still, good book as a stand alone.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-06-09 00:00:00 Josh Martin NOTE: This book does contain EXPLICIT CONTENT! When I started this book I was a little bit confused as to why the prolouge started in 1755 and then the first chapter was "present day." But as I read further it all started to make perfect sense. Once all the pieces fell into place, I had a VERY hard time putting this book down! It's got a little bit of everything in there too, romance, action, uber sexy male lead, and uber sexy supporting male characters just to name a few things! Personally, I think it's a steamy little love story of uber sexy sorcerers who have sold their soul to eventually be reunited with a long lost loved one. A few love spells are cast which leads to UBER HOT SEX (in my opinion anyway). After the first couple of pages (the confused pages) I pretty much fell in lust with the story....so much so that I did not want it to end! So much so that I went and purchased it in e-book format on my Barnes and Noble Nook so I can read it again and again and again. I LOVED all the characters in this book. They are all very interesting and all have shall we say "complicated" pasts. Which is really going to make the rest of this series (yup there will be MORE uber sexy sorcerers and UBER HOT SEX) VERY, VERY interesting. The main character Gabe, well how can you NOT love a guy who's been in love with and devoted to the same woman for centuries, only knowing that EVENTUALLY you will get to see her again?! Call me weird, but I think that's not only romantic but a little bit hot too!
