From USA Today Bestselling Author Harper A. Brooks & Romance Author Olivia Boothe, comes a new sizzling paranormal romance that will leave you thirsting for more.
She wasn’t looking for love. He gave her forever…
After being attacked by a wolf-like creature and left for dead, Loren Stone wakes up in the house of a mysterious and sexy stranger. Something within her has changed. Her veins crave human blood. But it’s another type of hunger she finds herself fighting to control... her unrelenting need for Nicholas Guerra. She should hate the vampire who took everything she loved from her, yet is thrust into a battle against her own burning desire for him.
After centuries of being groomed to be the next vampire leader, Nicholas turned his back on his family to live among the humans. The last thing he expected was for his immortal life to collide with that of a mortal female. Then he watched Loren get attacked by the beast sent for him. Unwilling to let her die, he's forced to sire her. However Nicholas never expected to fall in love, and now he aches for the one woman he's forbidden to have.
Harper A. Brooks may be a Jersey girl at heart, but now she likes to hideout in the mountains of Virginia with bigfoot and all his little woodland friends. Even though classic authors have always filled her bookshelves, she finds her writing muse drawn to the dark, magical, and romantic. When she isn’t creating entire worlds with sexy shifters or legendary love stories, you can find her either with a good cup of coffee in hand or at home snuggling with her furry, four-legged son, Sammy.

It's been rough. I've been DNFing left and right. The premise of this book is interesting the heroine however is not. The hero was being as understandable and open as he possibly could in the situation they found themselves in. All she could do was blame him and try to play nice to hatch an escape plan even though he's explained the risks of why she shouldn't be in the vicinity of humans for the following months because her instincts will kick in and kill them. She thinks she's speshal though. She can totally overcome vampire nature if she tries hard enough. Right? RIGHT?!
*Sigh* That's as far as I got. I don't plan to read any further if that's what I have to deal with.
“Ancient vampires, killer wolves, a secret human organization, immortality, and a love I never saw coming…”
Eternally Yours is an amazing paranormal romance story. The story doesn’t follow your average vampire novel plot line. Instead it brings something new and refreshing to the readers who adore anything paranormal. Right from the get go it is hot and passionate, lovingly written and keeps you wanting for more.
Loren is your every day nurse, with long working hours, cramped apartment that she shares with a roommate she doesn’t like and a father with diabetes. Her passion is to help her patients and save lives. All of her carefully thought out future plans crash when she gets mauled by a scientifically modified wolf and ‘saved’ by Nicholas Guerra.
Nic is a vampire prince, destined to unite two families of great power. He has wanted nothing to do with his father and the rules of the coven. He has been in many battles over the years and detests human casualties. When the fight between the vampires and the Order threatens to take another human life he does all he could to not have Loren’s death on her hands.
The story takes Loren and Nic through a series of events; fights, longing, frustration and heartbreak follow the two around, giving them no rest. I loved everything about their forming relationships to the difficulties they had to face.
Incredibly captivating, heart stealing 5-star read. If you love your romances steamy and sexy with an amazing backstory that is a must read for you.
I love stand-alones that leave no questions unanswered even with plenty of mystery and twists throughout. Our couple get their happily ever after in the end, but leave their world open for spin-offs of other characters from the story. I absolutely loved how I never knew what was going to happen, this was a new take on vampires unlike any other I have read! I highly recommend if you live a well developed love story with lots of action.
I was given an ARC, so I am writing my honest voluntary review.
An exciting standalone novel with vampires, wolves, and a secret organization. So many different aspects rolled into one, from Twilight to Underworld. This book was filled with passion, action, and drama.
This book is a thrilling ride from the very beginning until the end. The world-building was excellent, the writing between the two authors was seamless, and it all felt like it was happening in real life/time. There are so many strong factors in this book that I can't touch on without ruining it all, but here are the things I can say:
So we have to address the sexual tension and the haters to lovers romance. The tension is there from their very first meeting until long after the last page. That tension only gets more intense as the book goes on due to the character's attempts to stay away from each other and trying not to give in to those primal urges. But it is there and it is so palpable.
Secondly, the plot is really well written. It's not overly complicated, quite simple in the grand scheme of things, and very easy to follow. There is a royal vampire society consisting of different clans (and all sorts of royal drama); then there are the humans trying to rid the world of the "monsters" by any means necessary, and then our heroes getting caught up in the drama from both sides is just too good to pass up. With so many players in action, there is always something going on. There is always a game being played. There are so many factors here, and twists that you never know what's true!
Lastly, we have a cast of amazing characters. Our leading pair of characters work so well together, even when they hate each other they make it work! They balance each other so perfectly that neither one is stronger than the other. There is one character that turned out to be a dark horse in this story and that's Catherine. I love how she was so loyal to Nic and in turn Loren, she also seems to have a very interesting partnership of her own. I think there is a huge chance here for the authors to explore her story and expand on her as well as Janus. I would love it if that came about!
The steam in this book is a fantastic slow burn that has you fanning yourself by the end. When it happens it happens and there is perfect execution in those scenes. I would recommend this book to PNR lovers, and vampire fans. This is a great book to read in a day and I look forward to reading more from these authors.
Wow!!! This book was an amazingly written slow burn paranormal romance novel full of hot as hell steam and agonizing angst. These two authors together have truly written something unique and special. This vampire stand alone is a MUST for any paranormal romance lover!
Loren Stone is a tired, overworked pediatric nurse who really just needs a break. On her way out of her favorite coffee house, she witnesses a strange wild beast attack a hauntingly beautiful young man she can’t help being drawn to. In her efforts to save him, she falls victim to the beast as well. When she wakes up, she feels a change that she doesn’t understand and can only be explained by Nicholas Guerra, the young man she tried to save... and who is mysteriously healed as though he had never been attacked.
Nicholas Guerra is a vampire prince, the heir to the Guerra coven, the most powerful of all the vampire covens in existence. But he left that life long ago, when his father did something unforgivable. Broken by what happened in his past, Nic has sworn never to love again. Yet when he meets Loren, he feels drawn to her in a way he can’t explain. Holding a dying Loren in his arm causes him to make a snap decision - he sires her, causing her to turn into a vampire and causing them to become bloodbonded.
Siring a vampire without the permission of the covens is forbidden - and Nic has just broken all the rules. But the one thing he absolutely must not do is allow them to become bloodmated - although he desperately wants to claim her as his. Once you’ve bloodmated with someone, it can only be broken by death... and neither Nic nor Loren are ready to offer each other forever. Will they give in to their attraction? Find out in “Eternally Yours” by Harper A Brooks and Olivia Boothe!

I definitely enjoyed this standalone vampire romance. The reader is quickly tossed, along with the main character Loren, into the vampire world. This, along with the immortal bonds created, pin Nic and Loren in a “on the run” situation of escalating sexual tension. In some respects the first half of the book is a totally different tone of story than the second. The second half of this book got me. Vampiric court family rituals and expectations, plots for power and of course our lovers caught in the middle of it all just trying to make it out alive.
Magic: 3.5/5
Though a quick read, the world building was strong. I fell right into the vampire royal family politics and couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Though all parts of the world were needed to tell the story (vampires, werewolves, humans) the strength of the story for me was in the vampires. They had a rich history and centuries of backstory drama to make every interaction delightful.
Overall: 3.5/5
Forbidden lovers, royal family drama and a woman who knows what she wants, Eternally Yours made for a fun read.
This is a standalone vampire romance. Loren is a nurse and steps in to help Nic after being attacked, not realising that it was by a wolf, then gets attacked herself. Nic then decides to help Loren by turning her into a vampire, against the strict coven rules. Together they have to navigate The Order (wolves) and avoid The Coven (vampires), which Nic has been doing for decades. However, Nic eventually needs their help, but it comes at a cost. I enjoyed this book although I did struggle to like Loren (FMC) for the first half, she was just too whiny and childish for me at first - but she did grow on me. The second half of the book she really proves herself and her devotion to Nic. Nic was patient with Loren but also wound her up, just a bit. Even the gentleman, he tries to do the right thing. Catherine was the best character for me, the ever available and resourceful best friend. I enjoyed the epilogue, although not everything is resolved, it is a 'happy for now' for Lorna and Nic.
I absolutely love this story! I was definitely on my toes through the whole book to see what transpired between Nic and Loren! There were a few times I yelled at Nic and his crazy father! Oh but Nic’s friend Cat is freaking awesome! She goes out her way so much to help the two! Hope to here of a second book focusing on her! Definitely a must read! Vampires Vs. Werewolf’s.
I'm a sucker for a great paranormal romance and this book is right up my alley. Loren and Nic's meeting is unconventional to say the least, but fated none the less. The action, suspense, betrayal and love in the purest form, makes this book a page turner until the very end.
This isn't your typical vampire romance book, this one has so many twists and turns, obstacles and heartache, it launches itself into a class all on its own. Come to the head of the class with me, and have an experience that you will not forget!
Fingers crossed that this is only the beginning of Enternally Yours, and I'm hoping we get to read Cat and Janus' story soon. What do you guys think? Help me let Harper and Liv know what we want to read next from this unstoppable duo!!
I usually find myself reading more series’ than standalone’s, but I’m telling you, I really enjoyed this book! The storyline with all it’s action, intrigue, twists, turns, and love, kept me entertained to the very end! I really loved Loren and Nic! I hope to read more from this amazing “world” in the future!
A really good vampire romance that goes back to the old fashioned notions of a vampire court which is missing form a lot of vampire books these days. Faced paced love storey with added sizzle and heat Really enjoyable read.
Love a good vampire story and this one is great. Enjoyed the premise and the characters. Read it in one sitting as it was very easy to get into. Am very much looking forward to more in this world.
I love a good paranormal romance and this is a great vampire one! It’s fast paced and has twists and turns to keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat. A fantastic complete stand alone story with great characters!
This was an amazing book from start to finish. Couldn’t put it down. If you liked the blurb then do yourself a favor and read it you won’t be disappointed.
This was a fast paced ride of a book. Im not one to read books with vampires, but this one did catch my eye. The romance between the main characters was intense. I recieved this ARC for an honest review.
This is a great standalone book, well written, if you love stories about Vampires you are going to love this one, action, adventure you got a bit of everything, you will not be disappointed.
There are multiple things I love about this book. The characters have some depth, they're not jaded and cynical. The characters have goals and purpose. The characters are caring, self-sacrificing to protect those they love. But honestly, one of the things I love MOST about this book is that Harper A. Brooks and Olivia Boothe have presented me with a COMPLETE story. I have learned about Nic and Loren, I have watched them overcome adversity, battle against overwhelming odds, escape to freedom and fulfill their dreams. I have experienced the highs and lows and the culmination, and have closed the book after the last page knowing that my questions are answered. I do NOT have to wait weeks or months for the next part of the story to be released, I can enjoy the story for exactly what it is and go on about my day. Well written, creative and complete. 5 stars, and a re-read guaranteed.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
What a different vampire tale! I love it! This is an amazing stand alone story with a different twist that I did not see coming. I am impressed! I highly recommend!
It's been a hot minute since I read a MF PNR romance. This book reminded me what I loved about this genre from a MF perspective. Nic is a immortal vampire who has tired to forget his family and his predicated future. He is hiding away from his world trying to blend into the human world. Until his world comes crashing down when he is forced to do something he never thought he would. Change a human Loren is a woman who life revolve around work and her dad. Until she ripped away and finds herself with Nic and questioning the world hidden away from her. Loren is quick to take to this new world which helps for what happen next is what will want you to read to the last page. Loren is in a lust filled situation and it isn't one sided. She should be finding a way to navigate herself into to supernatural world, Instead she finds herself trying to control her lust and deal with Nic who isn't immune to her. Their story is full of highs and lows as they faced the world who is against them and determined not to let them suceed. It's my first book from these two and I can't wait to see what these two do in the future.
Eternally Yours is a paranormal romance novel by Harper A. Brooks and Olivia Boothe. Eternally Yours is a gripping paranormal romance that is a stand-alone novel with a HEA. These two authors come together to write a slow burn romance novel about a young human woman who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and finds her whole life changed in a matter of moments. Her intentions of being a good Samaritan place her in the cross hairs of a dangerous war that has been going on for centuries between vampires and humans. Humans upping the ante by creating new monsters, but Loren are going to be something new…purely by accident. Eternally Yours is one of those paranormal romance novels that will grab you from the beginning and pull you into the story leaving you page-turning to the very end. Loren is an engaging character overall. She’s living her life, and takes a mundane break to get some coffee and really gets more than she bargained for when injured Nic crosses her path out of a dark alley, followed by a dangerous monster that destroys her life. I like how strong Loren is. She gets put through a lot, but she doesn’t react like a shrinking violet. Now, I will admit that there are some moments in this book of where I felt that she overreacted or was a bit out of line and it doesn’t fully mesh with her character, but it’s not so much that I was put off from continuing the story. There is so much going on in this book. Loren and Nic are the primary characters in this story, but Nic’s story really takes center stage in several moments of this story. His past and the things that he has been through throughout his life really grabbed me and kept me wanting to learn more about him and the things he’s been through. This book is a mix of slow-burn and off the walls steamy. The slow burn drove me crazy as I kept wondering…is he going to cross that “forbidden” line now? I honestly think that the slow-burn created more fire than the actual steamy scenes which was a bit disappointing. Overall this book was well written and kept me engaged from beginning to end. I practically devoured this book as I chased the desire to know how things were going to play out for Nic and Loren. I love that we get a nice epilogue that takes readers a few years into the future, and for those of you looking for that happily ever after…for now…yes. LOL! Never know what the future holds. I’m choosing to rate this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The storyline, for me, was engaging from beginning to end. I literally devoured this book so fast because I was pulled in so quickly by the characters and the writing style of these two authors. I’m taking off half a star, because for me, the steamy scenes ended up falling a bit flat in comparison to the slow-burn moments of where the characters teased each other and created a build-up that created so much heat. I look forward to reading more by these two authors in the future, so if you are a fan of paranormal romance novels with strong characters then I encourage you to pick this book up.
What can I say?? This was so totally unexpected, sure I knew I was reading a vampire novel, but this adventure steps outside the realms of the usual vampire storyline, to excel into the area's of unbelievable. Loren a nurse working on night shift takes a break and goes to buy her regular cup of coffee plus a don't, little did she realise that the moment she stepped out of the hospital her life would never be the same. While trying to save a gorgeous man she found dying on the footpath, Loren is suddenly attacked by a huge werewolf type of creature and all she could do was try to keep it away from the guy who had been it's first victim, even as she knew she was going to die trying. Nicholas couldn't believe his luck, somehow he was still breathing still alive, how?? why, then he remembered the soft voice of the woman who had been trying to save him. All he heard was the growls and crunches of bones as she screamed for oblivion, the creature had got her so he jumped into action before the monster could complete it's job. No way on heavens earth would she make it alive if left to the device's of mortal medicine, Nicholas made the only decision he thought would be the right one, yes she would loose her mortal life but what he was gifting her was a gift more precious than anything else that could be offered, immortality. Boy was he ever wrong, no way could Nicholas ever expect Loren to become the vampire she birthed into, one who was going to change so many things within the world of the vampires. Everything Loren had ever wanted from life was ripped away from her, can she ever forgive the man who took it upon himself to make that decision, especially when things didn't quite go as expected. A brilliantly written novel with so much fast paced action, political intrigue within the vampire nations, and plots within plots that keep you trying to work out which way the story is heading. If you enjoy something completely different then this is definitely one novel you will not be able to put down soon. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys this genre to grab this book immediately.
This book starts off with Loren who is a nurse with a horrible roommate and sick father. She is very friendly and just wants to save as many lives as she can. Because of this she ends up unknowingly saving Nic, a vampire who is being chased by an engineered wolf. She attacked during her attempt to save him. Nic doesn’t want anymore human blood on his hands. He is on the run from his father and relies on the help of his friend Cat to save Loren’s life even if it means changing everything she knows.
I liked that this book started off with the main characters at odds. Even though Loren was feeling a desire for Nic she didn’t give in to it. She was pissed and not afraid to let him know. I did feel the change in feelings was a bit too quick. One minute they are fighting and the next they are confessing their love. The royal society and rules of the vampires was interesting, and helped me understand more about Nic and his childhood. I absolutely loved Cat. I do hope she gets her own book. Overall this book had lots of action, good twists, lots of sexual hunger and good character development.
This is the kind of paranormal romance I can get behind. Loren is an unsuspecting human, who is thrust into the paranormal world against her wishes. Whilst grabbing a coffee on her break from her nursing job she is attacked by a wolf-like creature while trying to save someone she later finds out is a vampire. Her story and life could have ended there, but Nicholas Guerra, the vampire prince she tries to save chooses to make her immortal like him. It's not what she wanted, and she will have to fight for her place in this new world but she's a tough cookie.
There are a lot of twists and turns along the way for Loren and Nic but it was a really enjoyable read and I loved every minute of it. The paranormal side of the world that the author creates is intriguing, and I didn't want to put the book down. In fact, I was a little sad when I finally got to the end. A really great read.
Such an amazing read! I love paranormal stories and this had such a twist to it. I was captivated from page one. Loren, a pediatric nurse, trying to help people is stuck in a mediocre life with a crummy roommate and ailing father. During her hospital shift she happens upon an attack unbeknownst it is a paranormal attack. While trying to save a man's life she is attacked by the being and the man must turn her in order to save her.
She despises the choice taken from her and gives the man grief at every turn. But ends up with a strong connection to him with little knowledge of what's to come.
She is different. Something Nic has never seen before and now everyone wants her for what she is and they must do whatever they can to escape.
Holy Moly... I should start off with, I don't usually read stories like this. The whole blood and guts horror, violent paranormal stuff isn't my thing... BUT, I adore Olivia Boothe's writing, and paired with Harper A. Brooks, you've got quite a team and quite a story. I admit, I was riveted. I couldn't put this book down. I had to know what was going to happen next! The characters were full and complex, the suspense a definite thrill ride - and the intimate scenes...holy vampire! The writing and attention to detail is perfection. I'm not saying I'm going to go out and buy up all the vampire books online now - but if Olivia and Harper pen a Book 2, sign me up! Wow. I'm still trying to calm down after this story!
