Spring break in Europe was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience with my four best friends. It turns out fate had other ideas. When a fun night out turns dangerous, it lands me in the one place I never expected to be...In bed with a stranger who swears he's my husband. That's not even the most problematic part. I'm not sure he's even human.
Eternal Love comes at a steep price. I'm just not sure if I'm willing to pay for it.
I'm a retired 45-year-old Puerto Rican wife and mother of 3 plus 1 bonus daughter. Originally from NYC, now living a quiet life in the south suburbs of Chicago. I enjoy reading and writing romance and erotic fiction. I'm addicted to coffee, sci-fi, and all things Marvel and Harry Potter.
I was a teen mom with a whole world of statistics against me. Every time I was told I couldn't do something, I did it, took pictures, and smiled with my son on my hip for everyone who ever doubted me.
Now, after finding the love of my life in my thirties, we married in the great 2020 pandemic, which shall not be named. We have a house full of teenagers who don't need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.
After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I'll get it right.
Firstly, the execution of this books needs about a 100% rework. Frankly I don't even know who and how anyone allowed it to even be published prior to editing and correcting it because ain't no way in hell has this even once been read by the author themself.
Secondly, it's a less than 200 page novella so why in the actual hell are there POVs from side characters?!? Like make up your mind @ Author, is this Madeline and Erik's story or not? Because three separate couple POVs just does not make sense, not even in a full 400+ page novel.
Thirdly, God damn that writing style like???? Who is talking to who? Who's POV is it now? Why is everything so rushed and unfinished? Whiplash on whiplash on whiplash, I think I have a concussion.
Fourthly, don't even get me started on the grammer and vocab cause that's a whole 'nother ballpark.
Lastly, 1.5 stars for the storyline concept only. God I wish the execution was different.
Reads like the most awkward fanfic written by a 16-year-old. The thousand-year-old vampire blowing up his own wedding ceremony with an (all caps) “MINE!” The typos. The angel roommate dude who “fills a glass with bourbon, chugs it, throws the crystal into the fireplace, and then chugs straight from the bottle.” The random “bitch” character who only shows up in one scene to challenge the FMC for her man only to get her ass handed to her because the FMC is secretly a badass all of a sudden. But the worst part of this novel isn’t any one of these awkward moments, it’s the things that aren’t on the page. Character development, scene-setting, emotional and personal friction, angst. It all just falls completely flat.
I love the storyline of this book. The idea of finding/following your soul mate time and time again is so romantic. But… this book needs more structure. Most of the time I couldn’t tell who was talking. Characters would enter a scene but the reader wasn’t told until someone would mention about them and then you start questioning what even happened. The Mmc’s name was spelled about 10 different way in the book and more and more story lines kept getting added in instead of focusing on Madeline and Erik.
The concept was great. I wish it was executed a little better. There were some basic formatting issues that made it difficult to suss out who was speaking. It was also a little rushed. The FMC and her friends easily accepted this strange reality and went dress shopping. The conflict was minimal, and not well resolved. I'd love this book to get in the hands of a great editor.
I have been a fan of this author for years. I was offered the opportunity to read this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am not a huge fan of PNR books and this one drew me in and had me reading it in one sitting.

Wow what a story. It had me enthralled from beginning to end. Not my everyday read but every now and then I love a great paranormal story. The ending what me like WHAT!!! Now I need the next to see what happens. Definitely worth reading. I loved it. It was Eternally Bound to be out of this world good.
This was a great novella about fated mates. I was drawn in from the beginning and couldn’t put it down until I finished. I am glad that I started reading more paranormal romances because I was lucky enough to get to read this! Can’t wait for the next.

I really enjoyed this book! I wish it would have been longer but that's the only complaint I have. I enjoyed all the characters and can't wait to see what's coming next for them all. I also enjoyed that we get some back story and flashbacks so we understand the characters better! Great start to a Paranormal romance series.
Erik and Madeline have shared several lives but in this incarnation things are a little different. Erik soon finds out Madeline's abilities. Will this couple finally have their chance to be together?
I enjoyed this read 📚!

I’m giving a solid 3 stars - I wanted to give it more, because I REALLY loved how it started, I truly did, and the whole thing with the ring and the rose petals was ✨swoonworthy✨ but I lost interest when they made Madeline 16 in the first memory, I know times were different, but that’s just something I can’t get behind.
This book was absolutely amazing to read from beginning to end. The characters in this book really makes the book come to life and also make the book extremely hard to put down. This was the first book I have read this book by D. Williams and if this is anything to go by I will definitely be reading book of their books in the future.
This book was really good. I enjoyed the character development and the story line. There were a few shocking moments and happy ones. There's definitely some fighting scenes.
I love this author’s MC series, and I just had to pick up the start to her paranormal series. This book had me glued to my kindle from the very beginning. I can’t wait for the next book!!
Ever wonder what happens when you throw every type of supernatural you can think of into a pot with random lore and sex? Well now I know, you get this book. Vampires and fated mates that die every time they find each other ( where have I heard that before ?) , angels, hellhounds, and a group of orphans that just somehow happen to turn up in London and are supernatural themselves with no idea. Confusing? Yep, but not as confusing as the writing style. I tried very hard to keep going as I hate to DNF a book, but at the point where the werewolf turn vampire that was dying bites a century old vampires dick to take the blood from it I kinda wanted to fling it out the window of the car. It’s a quick read for a car ride if you don’t take it too seriously but honestly it doesn’t win in spice or story line. Can’t say I recommend
This one was different from her Mc’s. What comes next vampires and shifters. Mrs Williams did it again with novella. Can’t wait to see what she brings us next.
