ETERN1TY

EXP1RE Duet #2

by Erin Noelle

Numbers.
They complete me.
Nothing makes sense without them, the building blocks of logic.
A math teacher by day, a statistics doctorate student at night, my obsession to solve problems is constantly fed.
I'm exactly where I want to be in life, no unknown variables or unsolved formulas.
Until I meet her.
Lyra.
The woman beyond the numbers.
How can I stay away, when everything about her draws me in?
But how can I fall in love, when she won't promise me eternity?

"Your love is my anchor. Your trust is my strength. And I will give you all of me from now until the end of eternity.”



Erin Noelle delivered an exciting and interesting read in book one of this duet. I was so anxious to jump into this conclusion to see how things work out for our couple who met by chance or fate. You see they both see dates when they look into another’s eyes. Tavian and Lyra made for two truly likable characters who have a great connection and chemistry. How things play out once their vacations had ended kept me glued to my reader.

The story does hold some drama but unfortunately one of the main reasons I was so anxious to find out the whys or more about the numbers which wasn’t explored as I would have liked. This is a solid conclusion just for lacking the how comes and whys that I crave as a reader.

"To Jupiter and back.”

"I've got a story to live. A man to love."

Etern1ty is the second book in the Exp1re Duet. This duet must be read in order. As soon as I turned the last page of Exp1re, I couldn't wait to start Etern1ty in order to find out what could possibly happen next. With a perfect blend of romance, passion, and mystery, Tavian and Lyra's story continues.

"Call it fate, call it destiny, call it whatever you want. You're mine and I'm yours for as long as we have left."

Tavian West and Lyra Jennings met in the most unusual circumstances. After surviving catastrophe only to experience joy together, Tavian and Lyra return home to their former lives. Unable to quench the desire they have to be together, both decide to move forward together. Although it may seem they are on the cusp of their happy ever after, Tavian and Lyra have many obstacles to overcome before they can be together. The mystery that was revealed at the end of Exp1re continues to haunt them both. As Tavian comforts and heals Lyra, they both find joy, passion, and unbelievable love in the arms of each other.

"I want to celebrate my last day of work by wearing your ass as a party hat and drinking your Kool-Aid straight from that sweet pussy."

Told in dual POV, Etern1ty is a perfect conclusion to this duet. With the many struggles both of these individuals have been forced to endure, the happiness they find in each other will leave you utterly breathless. The plot is laced with mystery as the truth is slowly revealed. This duet ushers in an onslaught of thoughts about life and love and the moments we are meant to cherish. I couldn't help but think about how we should live every moment as it might be our last. I found the connection between Lyra and Tavian to be one of beauty. The way in which they cared for one another was undeniably epic. The tempo of the read flows naturally as the text is colored with beautiful dialogue and moment after moment of perfection. The passion is off the charts as Lyra and Tavian commit to one another and commit to living every second like it is their first.



Overall, I highly recommend this read to any contemporary romance fans. Although there is a slight Sci-Fi overtone, it only enhances the love story between the two main characters. The plot is unique, the characters are complex, and their love story is one that I will never forget. Erin Noelle has created a truly remarkable masterpiece and I am now officially hooked. I look forward to reading more from this author very soon!

With the opening of Eternity, the timeline continues without interruption as Lyra Jennings and Tavian West return to their respective homes after their European journey. With each needing to reconcile their past, just in different ways, they are both ready to move forward in their relationship. For Lyra, she has a renewed outlook and Tavian makes the most of every moment. For both, numbers define their lives.

“All I know is she’s it – my One.”

Knowing time is limited, Lyra and Tavian are committed to the journey and start to live as they choose together. Each day brings them closer and to places where Lyra never dreamed about before meeting Tavian. As the numbers blur, the hope for a different meaning remains.

“Those aren’t … That can’t be…. No one else’s did that.”

Told in dual POV, the character development for Lyra and Tavian is rich as they grow as a couple and certain realizations come to light. Despite Lyra’s fears, she progresses tremendously and in a realistic way where Tavian may be the impetus but Lyra is ultimately making her own choices. As for Tavian, he is a character of honor and completely irresistible. The chemistry between these characters is palpable and they really balance each other.

In starting this book, I wasn’t sure what direction the plot was going to take but the mystery of the numbers retains its allure until the end. The overall concept remains an intriguing one and it underscores the question of how. Heavy on romance but also with looming tension of the unknown and some conflict, this storyline is engaging and intriguing.

Etern1ty offers a unique storyline with memorable characters that focuses on living life to the fullest despite experiencing setbacks. I recommend!

POV: First Person – Dual
Rating:




After an impromptu whirlwind European tour Tavian West and Lyra Jennings came back to their respective lives. Trying to keep the burden of their secrets behind, they tried to make it work and savor every precious moment they had together regardless of what fate might have in store for them.

I don’t want to die alone, and I don’t want to live lonely.

After the ending of book 1, I was dying to find out how it all going to end. I can say I was happy with how it all turned out.

No matter what, just when everything was beginning to feel nearly perfect, it’s all about to change. With her. With me. With us… if there still is an us after tonight.

For half of the book I was anxious waiting for a certain thing to happen. And when it did I was anxious to see how another part unfolds. Basically the whole book mildly stressed me out - in a good way lol!


I really like both Tavian and Lyra, and was rooting for them from the beginning. I enjoyed seeing how they handled the situations thrown at them.

When everything else becomes a blurry mess, he stays in focus. And as long as I have that— as long as I have him— I don’t need anything else.

Etern1ty is the conclusion to this intriguing duet. The series would appeal to readers looking for sexy romance with a hint of fantasy/sci-fi.

“How can I stay away, when everything about her draws me in? But how can I fall in love, when she won’t promise me eternity?”

WOW! What a book! What a series! What an epic conclusion! For this being only my second read from Erin Noelle, she has definitely left her mark on me with her EXP1RE Duet! I don’t remember the last time when I was so damn enamored with a book! Ms. Noelle just shifted to drive and floored it with this INCREDIBLE READ! I was on pins and needles when I started this and then it was like NOTHING else mattered except for these two beautiful characters and the uphill journey that they had in front of them. ETERN1TY was an absolute PAGE-TURNER of a romance read! It was exhilarating, emotional, and EPIC! I never wanted it to end, and at the same time I couldn’t get to their happily ever after fast enough. I wanted to DEVOUR it, yet SAVOR it.

This duet was so incredibly unique and addicting! It was put together seamlessly and executed perfectly. It was all about love, acceptance, and making the most of the time that you have. It’s about the games fate can play and the joys and rough patches it can bring. Lyra and Tavian’s special love story was unforgettable! I will cherish their unique, sweet, and sexy story for years to come. These stories brought this author on my radar and I will forever be grateful for that because all I want…IS MORE! If you are looking for a breathtaking and unique romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat in more ways than one, look no further than this exquisite and fascinating duet. It will definitely be one of the most entertaining duets of the year!

[Dilek VT · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read some books from this writer and loved them so much that I gave them 4 or 5 stars so I really cannot believe I am writing such a negative review for one of her books. Such a pity, indeed but I need to be honest as always, so here it is.

*********************************************

This duet had an interesting blurb, a fresh idea so I wanted to read them, even though paranormal books usually disappoint me with their lack of explanations.

*********************************************

The rest of the review may contain spoilers, so proceed with caution.

Lyra sees 6-digit numbers in people’s eyes. That has been the case since her childhood. At first, she didn’t know what they were until one day she understood that she was seeing the dates people would die.

*********************************************

One day, Lyra meets Tavian on a trip they take to Spain. There is a big explosion at the airport and he saves her from the chaos and they get out of the war zone together in the car he rented. Then, he suggests that they continue to his trip around Europe together and she agrees. I got bored most of the time while they were going around the cities and doing stuff such as paragliding etc.

Although the book starts on a good note and attracts the attention of the reader, it loses its focus too fast.

Tavian and Lyra fall in love so very quickly and although I normally don’t have anything against insta-love, theirs felt weird and I didn’t like it.

*********************************************

Tavian also had a girlfriend back at home (an on and off one). Annie and Tavian were together for many years but just before he proposed to her, she said she needed to travel the world with her girl friends and see what’s out there and took a year off. Since she came back, things have been neither good nor bad; just hazy and complicated. They couldn’t go back to being the way they were once.

When Tavian feels a strong pull towards Lyra, he wants to break up with Annie completely and calls her a few times but he cannot reach her on the phone and later he decides to do it face-to-face. He leaves a message on Annie’s phone saying that he needed to talk to her about something serious.

Some people may consider it cheating that he starts to sleep with Lyra before he ended things “officially” with Annie but I didn’t mind it because he finished it completely in his own mind and there was only “the talk” he had to do with her.

When they go back to America and when he breaks up with Annie completely, she goes mad and does some really stupid and ugly stuff. Especially, in Book 2, the writer changes the ex-girlfriend to a complete psycho villain. I thought it was unnecessary.

*********************************************

I told above that Lyra saw numbers in people’s eyes. Much later, we learn that Tavian also sees those numbers. Neither of them can see their own numbers, though.

And when Tavian and Lyra tell each other the numbers they see in each other’s eyes, they are shocked that they are the same but unfortunately, they have only 9 months to live. They still want to make the most of it.

Tavian and Lyra get married soon and he takes a year off his job to spend the last year of their lives together, doing the things they wanted to do most. From then on, the book turns into a bucket-list romance, in which they make their dreams come true one by one..

*********************************************

Well, in a book with a paranormal touch like this, one expects a sort of explanation. I did. As to why and how they saw these numbers.

No explanation was given. Ever!

Also, about these numbers, they said that they wanted to change people’s dates and help them so that they lived longer but they never could. The dates never changed.

So, I read the book, thinking they would die together after a happy short marriage. I hoped for a different and better end, though, but I didn’t have much hope as they said these numbers never changed.

Then, one day they stopped seeing numbers.
No explanation given. It just stopped.

Then, one day, they started seeing the numbers again.
No explanation given. It just started.

And their own numbers changed!
No explanation given. It just changed.

Actually, her date changed after she had an accident and woke up from a coma. Surprisingly, his date also changed together with hers although he was not in the accident in any way. Now, they got 60 years of an extra time to live.

So what happened? Did the coma change anything and if yes, how? Why? No one else’s changed, as they times and times again point out. So why did theirs change? And if her change was coma-related, why did his change? Was his number related to hers? Although this time, their time of death is not exactly the same as it was before; the year is the same now but the day and month is not.

Now, I really don’t know if I should suck it up and be happy that they have a HEA with a long life together ahead or if I should be pissed at the “no-explanation whatsoever”.



Come on, any explanation, even if it sounds not convincing enough, is better than no explanation. Give me something, OK? Hint it, at least.

If you only say that they had no idea why or how their numbers changed, that’s an INSULT to your readers. I feel cheated and I am really upset and pissed!

*********************************************

And all of these things show that the writer used the “paranormal” aspect to lure the readers, making her book sound interesting but she couldn’t put that paranormal aspect into good use as she didn’t know how.



And naturally, this book turns out to be a sappy romance with a weird paranormal thing happening to the characters.

*********************************************

Maybe I should have stopped at the first 10% when the writer made a stupid mistake. The hero and heroine came to Spain by plane from America and when they got into the car he rented, the driving wheel was on the right side and they say it is different in Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???

Come on, Ms. Noelle, make a research if you have never come to Europe.

In Spain, or in any other country in Europe, cars are no different from the ones in America. They have their driving wheel on the left. Only in Great Britain (England & Ireland) and Cyprus, it is different; cars have their driving wheel on the right.

Please correct me my dear Spanish friends if I am wrong but I have been to Spain more than 10 times and rented a car. All cars had their driving wheel on the left.

Even teenagers in high school know this simple fact and a writer making a colossal mistake like this should have warned me and made me stop, thinking that the writer didn’t respect her readers to do the proper research. Stupid me! I had to read it all and get more furious in the end… Such a waste of my precious time :(

“Your love is my anchor. Your trust is my strength. And I will give you all of me from now until the end of eternity,”

Continuation of book 1. Told from dual POV.

Book 1 ends with a big cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to jump into this book. Tavian was ambushed at the end of book 1 and in Chapter 2 he gave the answer I expected. At least I didn't have to wait long to find out.

Thankfully the 💩 hit the fan in Chapter 3 and by the end of that chapter Tavian had cleared most of his obstacles and made some clear decisions.

Lyra and Tavian learn early on that they have something very unique in common. This only solidifies their feeling that they belong together.
“There are 7.2 billion people in this world. Over 1 million of them attend the San Fermin Festival each year. And I found the only one I didn’t know I was looking for. You and me… we were written in those stars of yours.”

As they plan out their future (or what they believe they have left of it) they grab every moment they can to continue to live life to the fullest.

I didn't like this book as much as the first one.
1. I thought Annie going off the rails was completely out of left field. Tavian knew her for 7 years, was going to marry her at some point (so obviously knew her well) and it turns out she is a psycho? Nope! Just couldn't buy into that .
2. Why did the numbers fade and go away?
3. Why did the numbers come back?
4. Why did both Lyra and Tavian's numbers change? She was the only one who almost died.

This book also dragged just a little bit for me. I still absolutely loved Tavian and Lyra together, but their love story was overshadowed by my confusion about the numbers and the disbelief that a certain someone could so drastically change.

Unfortunately the conclusion felt a little rushed and left me wanting. 🙁.

Quotes

“Don’t lose focus on the present by dwelling on the past.”

“Surrender to what is, let go of what was, and trust in what will be.”

“But that’s what life’s about—finding the relationships that are worth the pain, the summits peaking higher than the valleys dip low.”

“Clarity is often easiest found in the chaos.”

“But I don’t have time to waste worrying about things I can’t control.
I’ve got a story to live.
A man to love.
And bacon to eat.”

“It’s here again. Finally. I’ve been waiting a long three hundred and sixty-four days for it to arrive. And I plan to spend the entire day celebrating like the devoted fan I am. Yep, that’s right. It’s International Bacon Day, or as I like to call it, Baconpalooza.”

“When I die, I’ll go knowing you love me to Jupiter and back, just like I love you, and that gives me more width and depth than anyone can measure.”

Great ending to an amazing duet. Why not 5 stars - because again, like the first book, I was hoping to have some sort of scientific element explored in this book, but alas, there was none. BUT, that is ok as the overall storyline was amazing.

Etern1ty is the conclusion to Exp1re and brings you write back into the thrill of things. We were left going "HOLY SHIT" and started off at "OH SHIT" as Lyra and Tavian are back home in their respective hometowns and needing to move forward in their lives.

There is a lot that these two go through. I was on the edge of my seat a lot during this book. I enjoyed how Erin allowed things to play out and how natural everything felt. Lyra and Tavian were truly meant for one another.

Again, my only gripe is the lack of sci-fi in this book. It's hard ignore that part when it's a big part of who they are. And yet neither felt compelled enough to find out the why or how behind. And that just baffles me.

But again, I loved the overall story. Just know that going into this duet, that there is no sci-fi part in this book except for the numbers. None, nada, nilch. It is straight romance with added suspense. But a great read none-the-less.

[Shannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I know I’ve said this about other books before, and I know I’ll say it again, but this book was EVERYTHING I wanted and needed for the conclusion of Tavian and Lyra’s story. Honestly, it was even more than I expected.

This duet was so incredible and unique, and just plain wonderful. If you thought Tavian was awesome in EXP1RE, be prepared to be overwhelmed by his awesomeness in ETERN1TY. If ever there was a perfect bbf, Tavian West from Philadelphia would be it. And Lyra- what a remarkable character she is as well. I loved her journey throughout these 2 books. The way she really came into her own over the course of this story was inspiring. And the love she and Tavian shared??? Oh if only I could find someone to share that kind of love with! So real and true, it wraps itself around you.

I am so utterly charmed by these characters and this storyline. It’s emotional and engaging and completely unexpected. It’s sweet and sexy and surprising. I could just go on and on about it. I honestly cannot recommend this duet enough. I've read a lot of great books this year and EXP1RE and ETERN1TY are now added to my favorites!

[Angie · Rating 2 out of 5]

**My review contains SPOILERS!**

I'm so confused. I did not like this final book at all. It was rushed. It was OTT sappy. Anna's character was completely ridiculous. It was never explained why the numbers disappeared or why they changed when they reappeared. And if the accident was the catalyst then why did they think they were home free? Does that mean other accidents could change the numbers again? It felt like a lazy solution. I wasn't a fan.

[Timitra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Etern1ty is the conclusion to the Expire duet. It's a sweet, fun, dirty read that packs an emotional punch. I quite enjoyed it and highly recommend this duet. Lyra and Tavian's story is not to be missed especially if you love romance.

What a ride !!!! I’ve been anxiously awaiting this book since finishing the first book. Especially after that ending.

And this book picks us right where it left off and my initial reaction to what takes place is oh hell no !!! But talk about getting me engrossed immediately again.

This book fascinated me for so many reasons. It was story telling in a way that had my attention from beginning to end. And I won’t get into the details but if you’ve read book 1 then I imagine you know what I’m talking about.

The circumstances which seem to fate these two together so interesting and compelling that you instantly feel the connection that Lyra and Tavian have.

How everything unfolds is sweet and seems destined to be. I loved their interactions with one another throughout this book. I found myself smiling so many times. Lyra finally embracing life and Tavian who melted my heart and had me seriously swooning.

However there are a few obstacles namely one that shall not be named that get in the way. And dammit if it didn’t have me cursing up a storm and wanting to possibly throttle someone.

At one point my heart dropped while at the same time feeling a murderous rage build. I wasn’t sure how this would end at certain points in the book as we are hit with some twists and turns and for me that made me love this even more cause I was on edge wanting to see how it all played out.

This was without a doubt a great conclusion to this duet. Gripping, endearing, suspenseful and completely engaging.

If you are looking for a unique read that will have you hooked from the first page of book 1 to the last page of this book then I definitely recommend this. I would even suggest to go in blind to both, don’t read the blurbs just enjoy the ride.

The Expire Duet is so unique and well-written. I absolutely loved it. It’s thought-provoking, and full of adventure and feels. Lots of feels. It’s truly unlike anything I’ve ever read.

SPOILER-ISH AFTER THIS POINT.
So, the ending. Without giving it all away, I’ll just say that I didn’t LOVE the end. Honestly, I like an epically done non-traditional ending every now and then. Erin set that up beautifully and could’ve pulled it off. I felt the end was a little inconsistent with the rest of the Duet.

HOWEVER, that being said, this is still a fantastic read and I highly recommend the Expire Duet!

What a wonderful and eventful ride we experience through this duet! I couldn’t be happier with the ending. What a whirlwind! I couldn’t put book one or two down, much to the dismay of my family, as this tale had me on the edge of my seat!

What a beautiful love this couple has for each other. Tavian and Lyra love so unabashedly and openly that you can feel their connection so strongly. my hopes for them had me holding my breath throughout!
I highly recommend this duet!

I was really disappointed with how this book left too many questions unanswered.

[Heidi · Rating 1 out of 5]

I assumed this duet was a cool sci-fi book thriller/romance, based on the "numbers" concept, but nope. It was just some eye-rolling smut and cheesy romance (that I honestly skimmed through after awhile) and the author barely made use of the "numbers" theme. That part really irked me because there was never an explanation for why they saw the numbers! I was thinking it was related to Layra's father in NASA, etc. Nothing. It's nearly 3am and I can't write a proper explanation at the moment, but I really didn't like this!

You may not have noticed but I am the type of reader that holds a grudge. I am judgey, whiny, and needy. I have hopes and dreams. I form attachments. I fall in love, hate, and hopeless despair often. I make new friends, revisit old ones, and mourn loss. I re-read. I audio book. I do anything I can to keep "friends" I've made from leaving me.

With that said, I was afraid to start Etern1ty. Terrified of losing hope, losing Tavian and Lyra, and afraid that Erin Noelle was going to make me hate her. I was over the moon in love with these two in Exp1re. I couldn't read it fast enough. I devoured it and begged for Etern1ty. But when this book popped up on my kindle...I choked. I froze and I honestly avoided it. You see, I knew when they die. I knew what was bound to happen and that needy, whiny part of me plugged it's fingers in its ears, sat on the floor, and began to sing obnoxious songs at the top of its toddler tantrum lungs. So yeah, I hid from it staring at me on my kindle.

But this morning, I could no longer fight the rest of me that was begging and hoping. I put my big girl underpants on, grabbed water and the tissues, and started my journey.

I will never tell you what happened in these pages. I don't believe in spoilers. I WILL tell you that I wavered back and forth between my emotions. I loved, laughed, and I hurt. I plotted murder, long-term goals, and hoped against all odds. I smiled, smirked, squirmed, and wished Tavian was mine in real life. (No need to tell my hubs.)

I wished for unparalleled joy. I wished for the means to do Tavian's trips. But most of all I wished for peace...peace of mind. You see, I understand the crazy stress of knowing a loved one only has days. Knowing the actual date would drive me insane. But knowing they were happy, together, or doing something they loved would give me peace of mind...

So if you are a weirdo like me, read it for that peace. If you are a non-weirdo, read it because it's the perfect way to finish this duet. Read it because you can't help but know what happens to Tavian and Lyra. Read it because this duet has a special place in your heart and on my 5 star list for 2017. Read it and know that Erin Noelle will always retain her spot on my authors to have grudges with spot...just not with this duet!

I was so pleased that when I started Eternity, it carried on flawlessly from the end of the first book. Tavian and Lyra both returned back to their homes with some much needed reflection to be done. Decisions to be made and futures to be forged.

There is no doubt there is a connection between these two as you can feel it right from the first chapter in how my Lyra misses Tavian.

Tavian though has some serious decisions to make when he arrives home, one being his long-time girlfriend. The other his life, his path.

“All I know is she’s it – my One.”

Lyra and Tavian both know what the others numbers mean, they know it is borrowed time but they also realise that life is for living and they need to grasp it with both hands and jump right in.

I did appreciate the fact that the book was writing in both characters POV, that is refreshing and gives you a better prospective on what is going on in their minds and feelings.
The journey these two take together though is not without drama, they love each other which are evident but can they deal with everything else and the day to day reality of life, with being with each other.
This is a lovely romance, however, I was hoping the numbers would have been answered and felt it was a bit anticlimactic with not knowing what these numbers actually meant.
This is a different kind of story I have ever read, great romance, drama but a little bit of intrigue.

ETERN1TY- Erin Noelle

Lyra and Tavian’s story continues in ETERN1TY.

They’ve overcome a terrorist bombing and learned to love unreservedly with the numbers in their eyes always taking centre stage but their story takes on new depths in this book.

They’ve returned from their overseas sojourn, determined to move on with their lives, Lyra having learned to love and trust again and Tavian having found his ‘one’.

But when Tavian is faced with his greatest fear of losing Lyra before her time, my heart just about broke.

No spoiler here though but a definite recommendation that you MUST READ these books. Like IMMEDIATELY.

Fabulous story, great writing, complex but very real characters. Erin Noelle has made a follower out of me.

[Hagar Gamal · Rating 2 out of 5]

Both books Expire and Eternity were a disappointment for me. Both were very rushed and short I felt like they could have been longer and written in more details. Also, with how expire’s book description was written I was expecting the book to focus more on the supernatural/paranormal aspect of the book, however it just turned to some sappy romance/erotic book. I only read both books cause I thought in the the second book, Eternity, I’ll be able to know why they saw the numbers or why were they the only ones seeing them and why did they change in the end?? But there is no answers to any of these questions. The ending was just a ridiculous happy ending.

[Doris · Rating 3 out of 5]

After reading the first book in this series 'Expire', I was anxious to get a hold of the next one. Well, yes I liked Eternity but honestly not as much as the first. This one at times seemed to drag and was a bit challenging to get through. It wasn't until close to the end that things start to happen.

This series is the very reason I know I need to expand my reading palette. I only went into this one because of the synopsis and the knowledge that it was Erin Noelle. But since I had previously enjoyed her writing in the other two books I read, I knew I could trust her with my hesitant mind. Erin's smooth with her words, and her storylines flow. She's an easy read, guaranteed. However, this time with the subject matter being 'other worldly', I knew that it was going to stretch my imagination beyond it's comfort levels. I am so thankful to her for that, and I am glad I read this one. Tavian and Lyra's love is not one soon to be forgotten.

These characters had their own quirks, their own lives, their own problems they lived with. When they were thrown together by fate, the world started to make more sense and you could feel that instant calming of their world around them. The total arresting charisma that Tavian had, he was just magical to me. He embodied the perfect man: gentleman, alpha, dirty talker, protector. He was strength personified, and that made me fall even harder for him. He had a certain confidence in his love for her that was so sexy to read, you can't help but swoon while taking this journey with them. And the way he protected her and loved her? He loved her with every part of him. E V E R Y part of him. And Lyra, for all that she went through as a young girl, to everything she tried to deal with as an adult, she was a tough one living the only life she knew how....and that wasn't living.

"The instinct I feel to protect her is rivaled only by my overwhelming desire to corrupt her."

There was a lighter feel to this book. The tone was definitely lighter, but the need and desire between Lyra and Tavian did not go unnoticed. Between her innocence and his dirty mouth, I was smitten with these two. With all the drama of book one, book two was a nice smooth transition into life with a newfound knowledge of what it meant to love with your whole heart, and to live life with that love by your side, guiding you every step of the way. I loved how she wrote this one, and the progression of their story was easily followed given the way she wrote and titled each chapter. This story had a sigh-worthy love that literally made me swoon.

I just.....gosh, I don't know what to say. She arrested my mind and hijacked my heart. I was bound to these two and their story and I didn't want it to end. It read so quickly and so smoothly; I looked up and I was already halfway done. I was shocked, but the story just sucked me in as I devoured it. This story was so unique, and with these two facing such turmoil and uncertainty, the calm and the chaos in their life was calmed by each other's love. You could feel that in Erin's words. This was the perfect ending to their story and I really loved it.

"Your love is my anchor. Your trust is my strength. And I will give you all of me from now until the end of eternity."

[Marieke ~ Marieke's Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

After that ending of Exp1re, I needed Etern1ty as soon as possible. I needed to know what was going to happen next, what Tavian would do. Not that I didn’t trust him, but sometimes people make unsuspected decisions while under pressure. Luckily, Erin Noelle didn’t make us readers wait very long. I love the ending Lyra and Tavian get, it’s everything they deserve.

“We aren’t an accidental meeting of souls, Lyra. Trust the timing of your life.”

Lyra and Tavian are still very much in love, but they need some time apart to work through some issues. Especially Tavian has his work cut out for him; he came home to a situation he didn’t expect at all, and dealing with the aftermath is hard. But the lovebirds can’t stay away from each other; Tavian and Lyra just belong together, and both know it and are willing to make the necessary ‘sacrifices’.

"I’m not sure how I’ll be able to live once he’s gone, but until that day comes, I plan on living a lifetime with him."

Exp1re was mostly written from Lyra’s POV, but in Etern1ty we get to know Tavian much better. I love to see both their POV’s, to read how they feel about each other and what they want from their future. I love Etern1ty, don’t get me wrong, but I think I expected a bit more. Apart from the drama with a certain person, this part of the duet was about Tavian and Lyra getting to know each other better and falling deeper in love. Given Lyra’s abilities and the revelations in Enern1ty I just wanted more, it just felt a bit too sweet.

“Your love is my anchor. Your trust is my strength. And I will give you all of me from now until the end of eternity,”

I love the ending Lyra and Tavian get, I give Etern1ty 4 stars.
