She has traveled around the world while battling ghosts, ghouls, witches, demons, and vampires all the while looking for the shadowy romantic figure that visits her in her dreams.

She is told of Quillon by her grandmother who seemed to posses the same gift as she. Her grandmother told that one day she would get to know the romantic stranger as well. Liz Beth longs to feel hre dreamer lover in real life.

But while in New Orleans, she meets Christien, a real life man who seduces her. He invites her to the Vampire Ball and Dark Masquerade where her two world's collide. Adventure awaits both Liz Beth and the reader in this wonderful novella- Eternal Desires.


Review:

Well, let me say first that I have never been a fan of erotic romance...i don't know if some is too graphic or it's just the conservative southern girl in me but I gave this book a chance and I have to say it is PERFECTLY mixed of plot and eroticism.

I only blushed at a few spots but I will say Ms. Rhoads is an artist with words.She very tastefully wove the romance with the love scenes making the reader feel as if true romance and chivalry were still here.. ( and no I am not saying it's dead..it's just sometimes hard to find.)

Her description of New Orleans- the places, the smells, the atmosphere were right on. I recently returned from a trip there with my college fantasy book club and I could close my eyes and picture where scenes took place in the book. Her descriptions were very detailed, colored and accurate.


The story was also very good. The ending..I did not see coming..so that says a lot. I only wish I knew either more about the character or had a prequel leading up to this story and even a sequel telling more of Liz Beth's romantic paranormal adventures. I would love to read more of this heroine and her adventure.

I will say that this was an excellent vampire romance story that had me holding for the next page. Honestly, my new Nook got stuck on a few pages because I kept going back reading scenes over and over.

Check this novella out. I know that my Lexington Vampire Group plans on purchasing several copies to discuss at our next on line discussion.

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I hope your group enjoys it too.

    I do plan to write more about LizBeth's adventures. I never thought about a prequel but I think that's a great idea. Something I will definitely consider.

    Thanks.
