Redemption: Absolution
The Dowrra are human females descended from Inanna, a goddess of love, whose dormant desires erupt when they meet their destiny and mate with powerful, supernatural creatures.
Eternal love is always worth centuries of waiting.
Redemption: Absolution
“I loved him in a way I’d only ever imagined. Not because he was the carnal incarnation of beauty, desire, and sex. I loved him for the dark, broken pieces he’d shared of himself, and because he healed me.”
–Josephina Iscariot
Charismatic. Seductive. Erotic. Gorgeous. Liam Demetrius, the notorious lover of Aphrodite, is a five-thousand-year-old vampire renowned for his hedonism and insatiable appetite for the scandalous.
Josephina Iscariot is a Dowrra vampiress, a precious singularity that comes at the cost of her freedom when suitors resort to violence in order to acquire her as their mate. Hudson’s professed plan was for her to flirt with Liam, and dissuade the others, but his intention was actually to trick her into Choosing Liam for her mate.
Broken. Jaded. Self-loathing. Addicted. The last thing Liam wants is to be ensnared by a Dowrra, and not even the nubile, raven-haired vampiress, captivating the room with her ethereal beauty can sway him. Everyone else is enthralled by his spirited facades, but Jo knows his truth. After millennia suffering a curse forcing him to cater to the desires of those around him, Liam has lost his faith and dignity. He thinks virginal Josephina is unprepared for the depths of his depravity, but she’s not as angelic as she looks. He’s happy to give her the thorough carnal education she craves, but how will he conceal his shame when she demands surrender? Will Hudson help him find a way to protect her from Tyler’s wrath? Can they find a way to heal themselves together?
Discover love worth waiting centuries for in Absolution, the epic fourth novel of The Dowrra Series.

Discouraging..... You read looking for the happily ever after that real life snatches away. This book was a real tear jerker and I felt like my very own heart was crushed at the end. Even so I still hope that there will be an HEA some where because again that is why we ready fantasy and fiction to find the joy lacking in our own daily lives in someone else's because someone has to get their happy ending right? I feel totally crushed for Jo and Ivana as well as Tyler and Liam but hope that Hudson is not as hateful as he presents....

This is one heck of a sexy book. Let me start with that! The two main characters definitely take the reader on a fun journey. But sexiness aside, this book deepens the epic story development that Gordon has been building since book 1. I’m not into a book just for the romance. I need some meat to the story, and she delivers that in each book. This book was fun, but also tackled some serious issues at the same time. Loved it!
