Eternal Blades is an interesting story with a lot going on:

The Ancient Guardian Lance has the false reputation as a playboy. Little do his friends and family know that he has been saving himself for his future prophesied life mate, Tshering Snow. After being accused of fathering a child, Lance proclaims it’s impossible because he is a virgin. Problem is his brother Gabriel and Tshering do not believe him.

The women are attached by Set’s Legions and want to learn to defend themselves and help fight with the Guardians. The men not wanting the women to fight, think they are just humoring them by allowing them to train. This sub story is quite entertaining as the men and women try to out-maneuver each other.

V.S. Nelson did an excellent job recapping the preceding novels. That is something I appreciate with as many books that I read because sometimes it takes me a while to remember what happened in the prior novel. Especially when the next book to the series doesn’t come out for six months to a year.

Eternal Blades is an exciting book with many subplots. The character development is well done making the story all the more interesting. This book definitely gets harder to put down the longer you read it.

I'm not in the habit of reading steamy light paranormal. I found Eternal Lovers interesting with lots of adventure and surprises along the way.

Jennifer is born with some unusual talents which she inherited from the father she never knew. She can read the thoughts and communicate with animals as well as see peoples past lives. The story starts off when she’s a child being raised by her grandparents, but the story fast forwards to the present. Jennifer is twenty four and married to her long term friend Bill by the second chapter. While taking a vacation to see her best friend Alice she becomes increasingly attracted to Gabriel, a dark and mysterious man. By this time the reader knows Gabriel is much more than a man. He is an immortal alien who is over five thousand years old. He and his companions came to Earth to save the human race. When her feelings for Gabriel reach a boiling point, she leaves to return to her husband... being unfaithful is not something she would do. But what she finds shatters her world. The love story between her and Gabriel develops and is steamy to the bitter end.
