Product Description
Lady Shay is the last of her kind. Half human, half Shalott, her blood is a precious aphrodisiac to vampires, who consider it more precious than gold. Though Shalotts are renowned assassins, a curse held over Shay lands her on the slave auction block, where her fate is uncertain-
Viper, the beguiling chief of a deadly vampire clan, can't explain his longing to possess the beautiful Shalott who once saved his life, but now he is free to do anything he wants with her. Strangely, while he desires both Shay-s blood and body, he wants her to surrender willingly.
A hidden evil has been stalking Shay since she left the slave market with Viper. It is an evil that endangers the very existence of Viper's kind, and there's no reason he should court such danger just to protect a Shalott. But the love he feels for Shay is enough to make him willing to go to hell and back if it means spending an eternity with her in his arms.-

Where's Viper when you need one?
5 Stars
The second book of the Guardians of Eternity series really stands out for me. Why you ask? Could it be the smooth-tongued vamp warrior who can talk his way through anything, with anyone? Yeah, I'd say that helps. His playboy exterior helps hide his tightly-guarded, wounded soul, so the intrigue is there. Every man should have a bit of his poise & charm, and the good looks don't hurt. Once he obsesses with the world's only Shallot, he comes to realize the reasons behind it are not what he, or she, expected. As an ex-slave, Shay finds it hard to believe anyone, including Viper, has any interest other than their own when it comes to her. The battles they share to discover the truth are pure fun to behold.

Better than the first
5 Stars
While I really liked the first book in this series, this one was absolutely a better read! More chemistry between the main characters, more humor, especially where Levett was involved, and a quicker pace in the story telling all combined to make this a very quick, and very enjoyable read. And then there's Viper...Wow. The next book is going to have to be some read to compare with Embrace the Darkness. I can hardly wait to find out!

WOW
5 Stars
I just started reading this genre (paranormal, sci-fi) from my historical romances...whose plots were starting to run together, so a friend recommended paranormal as a new genre and gave me the Mercy series by Patricia Briggs. Boy, compared to my normal novels, these authors have amazing imaginations!! Alexandra Ivy included.
I picked this up when I was picking up Briggs, even though I hadn't read the first book in the Guardian of Eternity series, cause I thought the plot sounded intriguing. Excellent book!
I was biting my nails as I waited to see what would happen! And coming in on book 2 was not confusing in the least. Ms. Ivy does a wonderful job with the characters and I thoroughly enjoyed every page. I read the third book (LOVED it) and finally managed to pick up book 1 (currently reading).
I would highly recommend this entire series!!
