A World of Dark Secrets ... Simon Clairmont is Vampyre. Reclusive, elegant and wealthy beyond imagining, he has lived centuries in the sultry shadows of Savannah, Georgia. Now, caught in the midst of a bloody quest for power among his own kind, he must choose between the one lovely mortal who has ever captured his heart and the tenuous peace maintained within the Vampyre realm. The Love of an Eternity ... Suspicious doesn't begin to describe journalist Fallyn Mitchell's frame of mind when she's called to an exclusive on-site interview in the mansion of one of the world's most mysterious men. But as the truth behind Simon's dark secret unfolds, she's drawn into a nightmare of death and war-and the dream of an obsession everlasting.

I am mixed on this one. There were parts of the book that I really enjoyed because they were unpredictable but other parts followed the vamp script to the letter, rich vamp and poor family-less girl. I am going with three stars because I did read it nonstop to see how it would end. I wasn't even sure the story would wrap. I was reading on the Kindle and the percentage of the story left by the time it should have been all over was not much. I expected a rushed finish and it was but it was plausable. The only thing I did not like was the lack of explanation as to why a character made certain decisions. The story was jerky because of that. There were several primary characters that were not as developed as I would have liked but they were enjoyable all the same. If it is a series, I will skip it and leave it as a stand alone on my shelves. I did not like the writing enough to read another one.

Finished last night, enjoyed the story. But the writing style got to me. Transitions were not handled well and some of the dialog was rushed, and example:
"When was the last time any of you made another? That what I thought" She chugged the rest of the cognac, wincing as she handed the snifter back to Tristan.
To me the chugging the cognac sentence should have been directly after the question. To give a sort of pregnant pause. I am not normally so picky with such things, but I found it slowed down my reading. I would have to back track to figure out what I was reading and where the story was at, and who was in the room such things.
I did like it but am hesitant to buy the next one, especially for $8.00 for the kindle version on less then 300 pages, is making me take a couple steps back.

I picked out this book Obsession Everlasting written by Lisa Phillips thru a Paranormal Book Forum on Amazon. Loving all things paranormal I ordered it as I have been very happy with the books and new authors that have been mentioned on this site..Again this did not dissappoint.
I will try and talk about the story without giving up spoilers!!!
Simon an aged Vampyre becomes enchanted by a "mortal" Fallyn Mitchell. His desire to win her is the crux of this story along with their fiery personalities, the great sense of humor of our writer that challanges our hero and heroine . The characters that surround are wonderful as well. Simon's brother Reece the ever single gad about, the dry humor of Tristian and sweet Katie.The backdrop for our story is Savannah,Ga. You can almost "hear"the crickets over the "pond" where Simon and Fallyn share their first embrace.
As all relationships this has a miriad of obstacles. and danger and mystery, Our writer keeps the pace nicely. After just setting this book down and noticing I will be the first to post a review, I am so surprised...So, I hope all that come to find out about this book read this review and BUY it now.
My last comment that I would like to add....Will Ms Phillips write a sequel????. I sure would like to know what happens to The Order and will Tristian speak up for Kate!!!Hmmmm all the possibilities

I got it from goodreads for free :) The story was pretty good but choppy in some areas. I did have to go back and reread parts of it. All in all I think the story was cute, witty, charming, and had a cheesy ending. I would reread it again and I think this author will eventually be compared to authors like Sherrilyn Kenyon and Rachelle mead.
