So, this book as well as the others in the series come in pairs. So I’m giving the stars based on the best of the two. The first story is Raphael and Ashe by Alexandra Ivy. All I have to say about this story is that I expected more from Ivy. The story was pretty empty. The entire story consisted ...
First off, let me say, I liked these stories. They were well written, the characters were great, and even though they are short stories, you get a feel for the world these Pumas live in.You get two short stories in one book.The Pantera, puma shifters living in a Louisiana Bayou, are slowly dyeing...
This book contains two short stories or novellas by two different authors. Alexandra Ivy and Laura Wright. Raphael by Alexandra Ivy is the first story/novella in the book. Raphael is Pantera. He meets Ashe one night when she goes to a bar where her mother frequents. Poor Ashe is having a bad day....
OH GOSH OH GOSH OH GOSH!!!! Why do we have this epic ending that leaves us wanting more?! This book was great. Jean-Baptise would have to be my favorite due to that ending and what we found out. Bayon and Keira were cute but there is something about a tattooed up pierced alpha male that...ummm do...
Santiago and Nefri were just okay. i didnt think their romance was that good. Roke and Sally was much better and they were the secondary characters. that was my only reason for finishing the book becauase i was totally bored with santiago and gais. if you have read the series you probaly need to ...
This is the first book in this series that I've read and also the first one by this author. I loved it! It was one of the most enjoyable PR's that I have read in awhile. I am going to read more in this series.Layla was chosen to protect a baby from evil, since she is half human and half Jinn, the...
Le premier tome de la série Les Gardiens de l'éternité ne m'avait pas convaincue, mais la rencontre avec l'auteur m'a donné envie de laisser une autre chance à sa plume. Si Forgés dans le sang n'est pas un vrai coup de cœur, il reste quand même une très bonne lecture de romance paranormale.Lorsqu...
Nouvelle série d’un auteur que j’adore. On y retrouve son style fluide et entrainant, qui fait que dès qu’on a commencé l’histoire, on a envie de le lire en continu. Le second tome est prévu seulement l’année prochaine en anglais… Heureusement que l’auteur ne termine ni sur un cliffhanger, ni sur...
3.75*Talon 3.5Alexandra IvyAnother good addition to this series. Talon a Pantera protector set to protect the enemy of the Pantera Isi Rousseau while she is in the Wildlands. Looks can be deceiving and all is not as it may seem. Xavier 3.75Laura WrightAmalie has been in love with Xavier for years...
I somehow missed that this is part of a series...Most if the time I had absolutely no clue what was going on. Suits, Diplomats, Wildlands, Pantera...even after reading it I STILL have no clue what the hell these are. However...the story was short, predictable and frankly a bit boring. It certainl...
My Lord Vampire is a good book. It does not have any graphic violence or sex but does have adult relationships. This book is about a vampire who has spent centuries living away from humans but must once again walk among them. He has came out to protect a women in society who possesses an am...
it is enjoyable read but i feel like i read four of them and every story is exactly the same. woman searching for their true identity (Chalice, werewolf, King Arthur's heiress) and on her journey handsome vampire at her service. it's nice and all but not really that very creative. i like them bec...
Ms. Ivy is never a disappointment. I loved this book. Needless to say I loved Roke and Sally's story more and can't wait to read their book. Santiago and Nefri were great, but they kind of got boring along the way. I really didn't like Nefri....AT ALL, but she balanced out Santiago's playfulness ...
uda lupa chara2nya...Ada roh jahat yang terlepas dari Tabir, dan Nefri diutus oleh Komisi untuk menangkapnya, sayangnya roh itu merasuki Gaius, sire Santiago. Sementara itu, Santiago diutus oleh Styx untuk menangkap Gaius juga. Akhirnya, Santiago dan Nefri bersama-sama memburu Gaius dengan ditema...
Los Vegas vampire clan leader Roke is on the hunt for his 'mate's witch Sally and even though the mating was the result of a spell gone awry, the pull that Roke feels for Sally and his bed to protect her feels oh so real.The set up for this pair in the previous book really had me looking forward ...
Hunt the Darkness, Alexandra Ivy.Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviewsSo, this is book eleven in the Guardians series...and as I’d read book one ages ago, and somehow never got to the rest I wondered how I’d get on with it. No problem is the answer :-) Though there are references to other events...
This book in the Guardians of Eternity series is a thrilling and action packed read that keeps readers on their toes. Sally accidentally mated Roke and now they will be bound for eternity unless Sally breaks the spell… only problem she has no idea how. As they search for the key to unlocking th...
This was my favorite Darkness book yet...there is one left to read before the wait begins for the next one. I will be in eReader transition so it may be a while before I order up. As for Devoured by Darkness, I liked the characters of Tane and Laylah a lot. Both wounded by their past and both ten...
I thought this book was awesome but at the same time it was a little disconcerting with the baby factor. Yeah, I'm going throw in a spoiler here.Laylah is mongrel. A mix between a Jinn and something else and Tane is not only a vampire but a Charon, a vampire assassin. He's known for being ruth...
Out of Control (Ivy) 4/5 -I most certainly want more of the sentinels. I am looking for this series.Ties That Bind (Bangs) 4/5 - 1st read, HOT damn! with a new vamp twist I won't as for more.In Still Darkness (Duvall) 5/5 -Action, drama, suspense, and oh yeah, romance. Another high score for Du...
Review of the novella "Where Darkness Lives" By Alexandra IvySophia, the Were mother of the four pure blood daughters and most revered female among her kind, was known as the Queen of Bitches. Not revealing that she may want to be near her daughters, she moves into a gated community in Chicago. ...
Sebastian/Aristide are books seven and eight in the Bayou Heat series. I like this series. It is well written, the characters are well developed, I like the world that has been created for these puma shifters, it's sexy and filled with very alpha males. The Pantera live in the Bayous of Louisiana...
Na knížku jsem četla hodně pozitivních reakcí. Proto jsem si jí koupila a dala se do čtení. Děj byl zajímavý Anna a Caesar měli vskutku poutavý příběh, ale do takovéhoto žánru - fantasy. Tam na mě bylo až moc sexu. Chvílemi už mi to i vadilo. Jinak tenhle díl jsem četla jako první, protože to vůb...
Nach den ersten drei Bänden der Guardians of Eternity Reihe, bin ich mit deutlich weniger Erwartungen an Band vier herangegangen. "Im Bann der Nacht" wiederholt das Schema des düsteren Vampirs und der hallsstarrigen Frau, die in Band eins eine Sterbliche war, die zum Kelch des Phönix wurde. (Eine...
Darkness Revealed ของอเล็กซานดร้า ไอวี่หนังสือเล่มนี้เป็นเล่มที่สี่ในชุด Guardians of Eternity แต่เนื่องจากหนังสือชุดนี้ไม่ได้มีพล็อตเรื่องต่อเนื่องกันระหว่างเล่มเลย จึงไม่จำเป็นหรอกนะคะที่จะต้องอ่านสามเล่มแรกก่อน โดยเฉพาะตัวละครหลักในเล่มนี้ก็เป็นตัวละครใหม่ที่ไม่เคยปรากฎตัวมาในสามเล่มแรกเลยด้วย...
What can I say, I love Levet. He is absolutely my most favorite character in Ivy's writing. Now, he gets most of the spotlight. While the story focuses on Levet's journey to confront his family in Paris, Ivy also delivers a smoldering new couple...nymph Valla and vampire clan chief Elijah. Of c...
Bayou Heat #9 & 10 Lian/RochLian, by Alexandra Ivy & Roch by Laura WrightOctober 10, 2014 - I enjoyed these two stories more than I did the last book, but I still felt that they were rushed and that large chunks of information were skipped over and not really dealt with. The overall story arc was...
Love this series. I just can't seem to get enough of the Pantera. They are such a loving and caring people yet are so fierce when they need to be. I love how they embrace their mates even if their mate turns out to be human and are willing to protect them even to the death. The Pantera men are s...
A second chance is what he wants. Revenge is what she wants. It's not possible for both to get what they want. How each goes about getting what they desire most makes for an interesting, hot and steamy story! Madison and Luc have a history. Brief, but an important history nonetheless. Their past ...
This book is a great continuation of the series. I loved how she tried to make Hakan suffer but couldn't resist him. I also love how some of the mysteries are becoming clearer and I really liked the surprise at the end of the first one.The second one had a bit of a darker side to it that the char...
After thwarting Armageddon and essentially saving the world one would thing getting into a Christmas party would be easy… not so for this Gargoyle. Levet had high hopes and plans for spending the holidays with Harley the Queen of the Weres. Only problem with that happening would be Harley’s mate...

A lowly gentleman farmer, Edward Sinclair has inherited the role of the Earl of Harrington. A more unlikely nobleman there has never been. For Edward's stark masculinity and brute strength set him apart--and earn him the demeaning title of the Peasant Earl...A spoiled heiress, Lady Bianca is know...
Slowly enough that she realized he was giving her ample opportunity to say no. For a heartbeat she stiffened and he hovered over her lips, not touching as he waited for her to push him away.But while her mind was desperately attempting to remind her that this was a vampire touching her with such ...
. . magnificent,” Kate murmured in wonder, leaning over the metal railing in the Whispering Gallery of St. Paul’s Cathedral toward the patterned marble floor below. “What does the book say?” Luce appeared remarkably content for a gentleman who had devoted the past two hours to trailing behind her...
He’d been sifting through the avalanche of texts and emails that were flying between the members of the SAU when his jaguar decided that it’d had enough. It wanted to be surrounded by nature. Leaving his cabin, he shifted into his animal form and headed across the boundari...
Not that it didn’t feel real. Terrifyingly real. She shivered at the sensation of the white silk robe that covered her from neck to toe brushing against her skin. At the familiar hum of the florescent lights. At the cool air that stirred her hair, which spilled down her back. She was back in the ...
She was supposed to be in her beautiful home, doing whatever it was she did on her fancy computer system. She wasn’t supposed to be directly confronting their enemy and putting herself in danger. Unfortunately, he couldn’t deny her logic.They knew nothing about the person responsible for setting ...
He was furious. More than furious. He was no dupe, he told himself savagely. Nor was he a fool. When he had left the Veil it was clearly understood that it would be his task to retrieve the Medallion. As well as to put a stop to Sebastian, or any of the other vampires, if they should stand in his...
She wasn’t a wuss. She could run for hours without breaking a sweat. Hell, she could do it carrying a few hundred pounds on her back.But at the moment her cheap canvas shoes were covered in slimy mud and her wet underwear was crawling into places it shouldn’t be. The last thing she wanted was to ...
Shaking off the odd fog that clouded her mind, Jocelyn hastily lowered herself beside his weak form. She had not gone through all of this only to have Lucien die on her now, she silently swore, her hands reaching out to stroke the satin of his hair. “Lucien, you are wounded.” “Give me a moment,” ...
Sitting in the large wooden seat she pulled out a piece of paper and pen. She didn’t have any battle skills, or special magic that could help reveal the identity of the magic-user. But she’d trained her entire life to bring order out of chaos. Okay, her chaos usually included fairy balls and comp...
She didn’t know why she’d so easily agreed to his insistence that he take her home. Of course, she didn’t know why she’d spent the entire night having the hottest, most intense sex of her life with a man she claimed to hate. Not that she regretted a second of their time together, she ruefully adm...
There was the sensation of being whisked through dimensions. Not a portal. Just pure magic.Heat prickled over his skin. It didn’t feel like a threat. It was more a brush of curiosity. Then slowly the darkness receded and a soft glow of light revealed a large room that looked like it’d been carved...
They’d shut the doors, and quiet reigned for the briefest of moments inside the West Wing. “What happens now?” George Ellis rubbed a bruised hand over his bald head. “Nothing for now. We’re covering for the president, and as soon as his fever breaks, everything will be fin...
Never again. Portia’s tortured words haunted Fredrick as he forced himself to bathe and dress for the upcoming meeting with his father. Dash it all. He hadn’t meant to startle her. In truth, he hadn’t expected her to give into his coaxing for a kiss. But once she had . . . His body shuddered at t...
“Hold tight, kitten, I’m going to get you out of here,” he said, eyeing the stairs. He wasn’t sure how long he’d been there. Longer than he’d intended, that was for sure. Not like him. Not like him at all. As if to prove the point he heard the sounds of muffled voices and doors opening and closin...
Actually, trapped in the illusion it was almost as if time had stopped completely. The sun remained firmly fixed in its current position in the sky. There were no drifting clouds, no changing shadow. And even the wildlife scampered from one tree to the other in a pattern that was growingly predic...
In Striker’s arms. He’s lying on his back in the middle of the king, sunlight streaming in from the windows to the right, making his skin glow. And just as I’d imagined it last night, I’m practically scaling him like a tree. I’m flush against his hard, hot side, one leg draped across his groin, o...
His powers were terrifying, his intelligence formidable, and the sheer force of his will could overcome the most fearsome adversaries. But there was no getting away from the fact that he had been well and truly brought to his knees by a bad-tempered, unpredictable, aggravatingly beautiful werewol...
. . hell, into his other body in the center of the clearing. There was a brief sense of disorientation before he was able to get a bearing on his surroundings. His senses easily picked up the various curs and Weres who were standing in the darkness of the trees, no doubt acting as guards to make ...
It was not a difficult task to catch sight of the crumbling ruin of a castle on the hill south of him. Although it had once been a royal residence for Henry III, it was now little more than a shell that spoke of grander days. Angling toward the river, he ignored the assessing stares from the loca...
