Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.

Quick & Dirty: The quest for the Medallion places Amelia and William Hadwell in harms way with only Sebastian St. Ives set to guard them with his life.

Opening Sentence: The cottage set in the thick copse of trees was a dark, cramped affair.

The Review:

Like many of you I often judge a book by its cover and often find that my fears or joys have been misplaced. To be completely honest, I didn’t hold out much hope for this book based on the cover. Admittedly this cover dates back from 2003 but contained all of the tropes that go along with the inclusion of vampires. You know the ones I mean like full moon, red cape, and heroine offering her neck up. However, the book is a pleasant novel to read while away on a lazy afternoon.

One of the most notable additions to this book is our heroine’s younger brother who is mentally challenged. Amelia’s care for William is a beautiful picture of her character and gives the reader significant insight into her character. She has given up Society and all of the parties in order to care for her brother and ensure that he stays with the family.

Sebastian St. Ives entrance into Amelia’s life occurs after she witnesses a murder and while the murderer is trying to convince her that he is harmless. Sebastian has spent his long life wanting to become a scholar but was chosen for this special assignment of guarding not only Amelia but the Medallion that has been bonded to her.

This is a charming book that I was loathe to see the last page turned. For all of you wondering whether you can jump into the 3rd book in the series and enjoy it, I did and I’m sure you shall as well. Also, Amelia and Sebastian’s story is told in a manner that I would not be afraid to recommend to a reader who enjoyed paranormal romances with hardly any cursing and no sex. So if you are looking for a clean paranormal romance then this book comes with high recommendations from me.

Notable Scene:

“Halt.” The new form held up an arm and Amelia could see the glint of a sharp blade in the silver moonlight. “I will not allow this.”

A dark, grating laugh echoed through the silence. “You? You will not allow?”

Amelia’s rescuer never wavered. “No.”

“Do not be more of a fool than you need to be. Return to your books and pathetic studies. You do not possess the courage nor the will to confront me.”

“Shall we see? Shall we test the strength of my dagger? I do not fear you.”

Lost in a thick fog of terror, Amelia nevertheless managed to notice that the gentleman now standing between her and the shadow was surprisingly large. Not only tall, but broad through the shoulders and possessing the type of chiseled muscles not often seen in society.

FTC Advisory: Zebra/Kensington provided me with a copy of My Lord Immortality. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review. ( )

My Lord Immortality is the third in the Immortal Rogues series and is a reprint with the author’s real name on the new cover. This is a Paranormal/Historical Romance that is actually pretty clean and only slightly violent. This series seems to be a prequel to Ms. Ivy’s Guardians of Eternity series.

Now anyone who knows me knows that I am not a huge fan of Historical Romance but as soon as I saw this book was being re-released I just had to snatch it up! I had already purchased the first two and this gave me the perfect opportunity to read them all together.

Amelia is a strong female and her love and compassion for her brother is a wonderful aspect of her complete character. Sebastian is intriguing and I don’t feel that we had enough of a chance to really get to know him. I also wish we could have seen the couples from the previous books a little bit more in this one.

I did enjoy the plot and how the ending came about. The books are not very long but are very enjoyable to read! They are an interesting addition to one of my favorite series. ( )
