Two hundred years ago Anna Randall shared one exquisite encounter with the wicked Conde Cezar before he abandoned and left her changed, an immortal, or so she thinks. And when she learns of his arrival in Chicago she is determined to track him down and finally get some answers.
For two centuries Cezar has been in control of the powerful oracles, all because he gave into the intense desire he felt for the innocent Anna. And when he’s commanded to guard the still very enticing Anna, he finds none of his feelings for her has changed in the centuries apart.
But an enemy is intent on killing Anna to put a stop to a prophecy, and Anna will have to decide if she can trust Cezar to keep her safe, not just her body but also her heart.
“Why do you care if I’m alive or dead?”
He glanced down at her wary hazel eyes, a jolt of pure male possession racing through him. “I told you one hundred and ninety-five years ago that you belong to me, Anna Randal,” he growled. “No one is allowed to harm you.”
This is my kind of second chance romance and I loved everything about this book.
Anna was adorable and has changed quite a lot in the years since she last saw Cezar, she’s grown more comfortable in who she is, and she’s found her calling as a lawyer, getting justice for those who has been wronged. Cezar was so wickedly sexy, and I loved how he teased Anna, how he just wanted to keep her safe.
The romance was amazing and I loved that for two hundred years there had been no one else for either of them, and I adored how possessive both were over the other. My favorite part of this series is how besotted the heroes are over their heroines, and Cezar was no different.
“Levet, please stop sniffing my guest,” Darcy commanded. “It’s not polite.”
The gargoyle made a rude noise. “You said that scratching my privates in public wasn’t polite. Now I cannot even sniff the guests? You are such a buzz-kiss.”
Darcy rolled her eyes. “Buzz-kill, Levet. The word is buzz-kill.”
This series has such wonderful secondary characters, and Levet, who is one of my favorites, was as hilarious and fantastic as always.
Alexandra Ivy has written an excellent PNR series with this series, and I can’t recommend it enough. Read it.
