Ann Jacobs (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 7, 2009

Book 2 in the d'Argent Honor series. d'Argent Honor...fine-tuned over a millennium to fight evil, its hunters are focused now on stopping an evil vampire in his mad quest for revenge on the d'Argent queen who refused his suit. In self-imposed seclusion for centuries, Stefan d'Argent emerges to join the hunt. His assignment: to seduce the Fox's next intended victim in order to protect her. When Stefan sees Julie Quill, touches her, makes love to her, he realizes he puts his own heart at risk. Vampire compulsion or lust at first sight Julie doesn't understand the immediate, irresistible desire Stefan generates in her, but that doesn't matter. She loves him, believes his incredible story...and wants to join him in his shadow world. One erotic bite...one slip into vampiric ecstasy could make it happen. But Stefan fears repeating the experience that sent him into seclusion centuries earlier, of killing the woman he loved while trying to convert her. A near-death experience tips the balance, giving him the courage to make her...eternally his.

More About the Author

Ann Jacobs is a sucker for lusty Alpha heroes and happy endings. Erotic romance, to her, is the perfect combination of sex, sensuality, deep emotional involvement and lifelong commitment--the elusive fantasy women often dream about but seldom achieve.

First published in 1996, Jacobs has sold nearly a hundred books and novellas. She is currently nominated for Romantic Times' 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in erotic romance, as well as having had books nominated by RT reviewers for best erotic romance.

Four of her books have been translated and sold in several European countries.

A CPA and former hospital financial manager, Jacobs now writes full-time, with the help of Mr. Blue, the family cat who sometimes likes to perch on the back of her desk chair and lend his sage advice. He sometimes even contributes a few random letters when he decides he wants to try out the keyboard. (Most of the time Blue just curls up, hides his eyes with his paws...and sleeps!)

She loves to hear from readers, and to put faces with names at signings and conventions.

1.0 out of 5 stars I did not like it. I wanted it to be over., August 26, 2008

This review is from: Eternally His: D'argent Honor II (Paperback)

I found myself skimming parts. There is far too much pondering in the minds of the characters. Some of the ponderings are about the past which tell the history rather than show it. There were a number of past history flashbacks done through telling and not showing. I would have preferred experiencing them. Other ponderings and conversations are repetitive, for example, Stefan repeatedly thinks about not letting himself turn Julie and that he plans to leave her. On a few occasions, some of the characters are thinking about what sex would be like, and the resulting sex scene is played out in their imagination. Not much seemed to be happening with the overall plot. This was no fun to read. It was not satisfying.

Story brief: This is the 2nd story in a series. Stories 1, 3 and 4 are in the anthology "Full Circle." Alina is queen of the d'Argent vampire clan. Louis is from the Reynard clan and proposes to Alina. She refuses him. He is humiliated. As his revenge, he kills one human woman who looks like Alina every full moon. So far, he has killed 20 women. Stefan and two others from the D'Argent clan learn that Julie is Louis' next target. They stay near Julie to protect her. In the process of protecting her, Stefan falls in love with her. She wants to become a vampire, but he is reluctant. The story includes body piercings, rear door activity, ménage a trios, and one scene with two guys.

Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: ten. Setting: current day Chicago and other places in the U.S. Copyright: 2006. Genre: erotic paranormal romance.

This review is from: Eternally His: D'argent Honor II (Paperback)

Stefan is on the trail of a killer vampire, Louis Reynard, nicknamed
"The Fox." Arriving too late to save the latest victim, Stefan and the
rogue vampire begin a vicious battle with Stefan being bitten and
losing the vampire to the night. Stefan searches and finds Louis on a
plane heading to Chicago. He follows Reynard's car to a hotel;
however, Reynard doesn't get out and Stefan has to admit defeat.
Placing a call to his cousin, the queen of vampires, Stefan relays the
latest information to Alina. Alina has news of her own. It seems that
she has discovered whom the next female victim of The Fox is going to
be. The vampire queen wants to send Stefan back to Chicago to protect
the woman. Stefan agrees to Alina's request, unknowing that the minute
he sees Reynard's next victim, his protective instincts will go into
overload and his heart will be lost.

Julia Quinn steps outside of her home to walk her dog and spies the
most handsome man she has ever seen. Immediately attracted to him she
forgets where she is and her dog is almost run over. Julia is
surprised to find her dog in the man's arms and when he introduces
himself, Julia can't deny her arousal. She immediately agrees to
Stefan's request to sleep in her home not knowing that Stefan aided her
agreement with a bit of vampire magic. Stefan and Julia spend the next
day together and their attraction culminates in a passionate night. The
next morning, a guilty Stefan comes clean about being a vampire, Louis
Reynard, and the danger that Julia is in. Julia takes everything in
stride and has complete confidence in Stefan. Her only request is for
Stefan to change her into a vampire and her feelings are hurt when he
denies her. Not knowing what to think, Julia inadvertently puts
herself in danger.

d'Argent Honor: Eternally His by Ann Jacobs threw me for a loop. Not
expecting the kick butt action, I was pleasantly surprised and full of
glee while reading. I fell immediately in love with Stefan and that
helped my feelings about Eternally His as well. I was happy to see more
action and loose ends being tied up concerning the bad guy, Louis
Reynard. Eternally His kept me on the edge of my seat and enthralled
from page one to the end. Ann Jacobs has a winner in d'Argent Honor:
Eternally His and I am so proud to be a fan of this series!
