Great read, action-oriented paranormal romance. The book has page turning action, interesting characters, a complex background and lots of sexual tension.

The heroine is drawn into a world where all the 'mythological' pantheons exist side-by-side. That world exists in a 'Cold War' state where subtle tries for power constantly ripple below the relatively peaceful surface. The heroine is caught in one of those ripples...

The hero is sent to kill her to protect the balance of power. He becomes suspicious that someone has muddied the situation and decides to keep her alive.

My favorite part?
Heroine: Isn't there some kind of guidelines about all this I could read?
Hero: Sure, everything from fairy tales to grimoires.
Heroine: Isn't there like an abridged edition?
Hero: The gods like to keep things sketchy...

There's a directly connected sequel: Immortal Illusions.

Gideon Sinclair is an immortal, shape-shifting soldier who's fought for centuries to preserve the delicate balance between good and evil; however, when he's sworn to kill Dr. Megan Carter, he defies the ancient gods he serves and refuses to carry out the task - increasingly suspicious that foul play has orchestrated the unwitting doctor's untimely demise. The fact that Gideon's turned his back on his benefactors, though, places a target square on it, and he and Megan soon find themselves in a race against time to uncover the truth behind a centuries-old rivalry that could ultimately reveal the long-held secrets of immortality...

Taut, gritty, and action-packed, Immortal Protector is a dynamic read. In her standout Fantasy/Sci-Fi thriller, author Ursula Bauer leads the reader on a mind-bending journey into the depths of pure imagination, touching on a host of spiritual and religious themes in the process. With a rare combination of technical skill and creative flair, Bauer weaves an intriguing tale of mystery and suspense, culminating in a cliffhanger climax sure to leave readers demanding a sequel. Featuring all the elements of a bona fide thriller, Immortal Protector is the perfect fit for true, die-hard fans of the genre. A thoroughly entertaining read.

This book caught my eye on the Kindle Boards threads. Bauer delivers a strong paranormal romance with a solid sense of world-building, romance, sexuality and action. She creates an alternate dimension of Gods based on the Egyptian myths and has them co-mingling in present reality. The bad guys are demons and zombies destroyed by the Immortal Protector, Gideon. Doctor Meg is the key to saving the universe and must be protected. It's a diverting read and a cut above many of the paranormals floating around. First in a series that looks promising.
