Eternal Love and Blood
Jade Christy
Vampire Suspense
Bound by Blood, Destined by Fate
Rachel Tarak sought solitude, not destiny. Hidden away in a remote farmhouse, she craves peace—until a dangerously alluring stranger collapses at her door.
Gabriel, with his piercing eyes and enigmatic warnings, is a man cloaked in shadows and secrets. Against her better judgment, Rachel takes him in, unwittingly opening the door to a world far darker—and far more magical—than she ever imagined. And sensual passions she never dreamed possible.
Gabriel is no ordinary man. Hunted by ancient forces, he’s a creature caught between light and darkness. And Rachel is the key to it all. As her dormant powers awaken, she is thrust into a deadly game of betrayal, sacrifice, and love.
Their connection is undeniable, their passion all-consuming, but destiny is a merciless master. Together, they must confront an ancient evil threatening to tear their worlds apart. With time running out and an impossible choice looming, Rachel and Gabriel’s love will be tested in ways neither could have foreseen.
When the lines between good and evil blur, can love truly conquer all—or will it demand the ultimate sacrifice?
Uncaged Review: Rachel Tarak enjoys painting and the solitary isolation of her Virginia farmhouse. When there is suddenly a knock at her door. Rachel wants to avoid answering it, but when she does, a handsome injured man is there at her doorstep. When Rachel brings him inside, there is something odd and very different about this man who calls himself Gabriel. Rachel also can’t help the attraction she has for him either. As Rachel spends more and more time with Gabriel, the desire they have for each other can’t be contained, and they become intimate. Rachel knows that Gabriel holds a lot of secrets but doesn’t care until Gabriel finally tells her that he’s a vampire. Rachel doesn’t believe it until there are beasts that are attempting to kill them both. Gabriel’s plan is to protect Rachel, but she also holds a secret that can not only save him but her world too as well.
I’ve always said that contemporary authors can’t write a convincing paranormal. Sure, they can write erotica and this book does have some very steamy, spicy stuff, but another vampiric lore that does not follow the other stories is hard to beat. So, my expectations of this book weren’t that high, but Ms. Jade Christy managed to pen a very fast-moving, enchanting tale that doesn’t play into all the myths of vampires but makes it her very own. When I got the book on my kindle I was a little peeved at all the spacing, but that can be fixed easily so that is not a reflection on the story or how it’s told. Rachel is your typical stubborn heroine, but as the story progresses she does get better and learns to listen. While Gabriel had so many secrets, I went from not trusting to tolerating him to liking him. Jumping into bed that quickly with him probably not, but the insta-low between Rachel and Gabriel, for some reason, works well here. I can’t wait to read more of Ms. Christy’s stories, whether they be contemporary or paranormal, I eagerly anticipate her next jaunt into the supernatural! Reviewed by Roslynn Ernst
