In this mesmerizing tale
from the author of the Guardians of Eternity series, a traitorous vampire is
determined to destroy the Veil that has long separated vampires from human
blood—and the passions it ignites. Only the Immortal Rogues, three vampires
charged to protect their kind, can hope to stop his deadly rampage...
Amelia Hadwell has no time
for London's nightlife. Not when her beloved brother’s odd ways have their
family threatening to institutionalize him. And not when she is questioning her
own sanity after being confronted by a murderous shadow creature—then being
saved by a captivating stranger, a man who belongs to a world she cannot
imagine.
Reserved and scholarly,
Sebastian St. Ives has been content without human desires—until they are
reawakened by the delicate, brave Amelia, whom he is meant to protect. For the
young woman has no idea she possesses the key to a ravenous vampire’s dark
victory. Now Sebastian must shield her from both a killer and his own growing
attraction—or bond with her completely, and forever...
*****************************
My Lord Immortality wraps
up the Immortal Rogues trilogy very well.
In the final chapter of
this trilogy we meet Amelia and Sebastian.
Amelia is an amazing woman that has decided to take a different road
than the expected. Rather than marry
well and live the society life, she decides to take care of her mentally
challenged brother. She leaves the life
she knows and builds a stable home for him in the more affordable, seeder part
of London. William keeps Amelia
constantly busy, but she enjoys and loves him dearly. Her main concern is keeping him safe, but one
night when she is trying to locate him after one of his late night jaunts her
life changes forever.
Sebastian is not really
sure if he is up for the job of guardian.
He is a scholar first and is unsure how he can protect his charge. His feelings change the moment he first
protects her. There is a pull within
him. She draws him out of his norm and
brings him back to life. He hasn’t felt
this way in centuries and he’s not too sure if he likes it. He must do his duty to his people, but his
heart is telling him Amelia means much more to him.
Sebastian must protect
Amelia against the traitor Drake. Unknown
to Sebastian there are other forces working against him. This is evil’s last chance at the amulets and
they are starting to get desperate. The
time has come for the final showdown.
I would like to say that
the story is different from the others but it really isn’t. While every story was slightly different, they
were just too similar to me; same template, different names. But considering that the trilogy evolved
around three maidens, three guardians and their chore of protecting the
amulets; potential plots are very limited.
Ms. Ivy did pick some wonderfully strong women though. Each and every one of them have qualities
that are not normal for their times and for me, they made the stories.
The vampire universe that
Immortal Rogues entails is very sedate.
These are not sexually charged men.
Their lusts have been dormant for too long. In My
Lord Immortality there is no sex and very little sexual tension with only a
few kissing scenes. I would not feel bad
letting a teenager or my grandma read this book. With that being the case, the cover is very
misleading. It screams – sexy road ahead
and it did not deliver. My Lord Immortality is one of the least
sexual stories that I have read in a long time. I have read YA’s with more
romance. Doesn’t mean that it is a bad
thing either, but I think it would have enhanced the story. The plot was very one dimensional and it
needed some special nuances to make it shine.
My Lord Immortality is an average
read for me. I would only recommend it
to people who like their romance light and the plot even lighter. I will say though that it is nice to have the
whole storyline complete. Ms. Ivy
wrapped it up quickly but nicely. There
are no loose ends and I can’t see this world being revisited. It is a complete package.
NOTE: These novels are being rereleased under their
original titles. They were originally published
in early 2000’s.
