3.0 out of 5 stars
hero, heroine & villain make this a compelling read,
By tregatt (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Lord Eternity (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
"My Lord Eternity" is the second installment in Debbie Raleigh's vampire trilogy, and while much of it was 'a-bit-of-the-same' especially if you've only recently read "My Lord Vampire," this second Immortal Rogues book still makes for absorbing reading because of the authour's character portrayals.To recapitulate: all the vampires have been living peacefully behind the Veil (a reality that was created by the most powerful and wisest of vampires, Nefri, with the help of a powerful Medallion), for the past 200 years. Now, certain renegade vampires have left the Veil and have ventured back into the mortal world in order to find the Medallion. These renegades want to force the vampires back into the mortal world, and they also want to wield the enormous power that would come to them if they possessed the Medallion. Obtaining the Medallion however will not be so easy. For Nefri, sensing their evil intent, had divided the Medallion into three and had given the three pieces to three different mortal maidens. She has bound these maidens to the Medallions so that the Medallions can never be forcibly taken from them. Only the women have the power to give their amulets freely to whomsoever they chose. Now that ladies are being threatened by these renegade vampires, it is up to the three champion vampires, chosen by the Great Council, to protect these ladies and the Medallions. "My Lord Eternity" focuses on the vampire Lucien Valin, and his struggle to keep safe the lady he's been assigned to protect, the vulnerable yet fiercely independent Jocelyn Kingly. Miss Jocelyn Kingly spends much of her time and money trying to help those less fortunate than her. A sudden hole in her pocketbook however forces Jocelyn to do the unthinkable: take in a lodger. Her lodger just happens to be Lucien Valin, an incredibly handsome but aggravating and arrogant man who keeps insisting on insinuating himself into her life. But when a mad killer, loose on the London streets starts stalking her, Jocelyn cannot deny just how thankful she is to have Lucien in her corner, even if he has slipped through the careful armour she has protected herself with. And having suffered pain and betrayal once before, Jocelyn cannot help but fear what this fascination and dependence on Lucien will cost her... Even though Lucien knows that other vampires see him s a careless and frippery sort of fellow, he never doubted his ability to protect the lady he had been assigned and the Medallion in her keeping. That is until he met Jocelyn Kingly and fell for her beauty, intelligence and integrity. Now he fears that his feelings for Jocelyn will get in the way of his mission, even as he fears what will happen when Jocelyn learns that he is a vampire. Will Jocelyn and Lucien overcome their fears and confide in each other? Will Jocelyn turn from him in disgust? Or will she understand that in spite of what and who he is, that his love for her is true and eternal? As I noted before what makes "My Lord Vampire" a truly compelling read is the manner in which Debbie Raleigh fleshes out the characters of Jocelyn and Lucien. Both characters have doubts about their capabilities, the authour shows us this as well as how both characters are actually strong and true in their own right. The attraction that both Lucien and Jocelyn feel for each other is fairly palpable and if it wasn't for my own particular inclination to dislike Lucien's arrogant overpowering ways (and his rather idiotic habit of referring to Jocelyn as 'my dove'), I might have found the book to be a more romantic read. However, also brilliantly done was the authour's vivid portrayal of the villainous vampire who's hunting Jocelyn. So that on the whole, I'd have to say that "My Lord Eternity" was a good and compelling read that should not be overlooked, esp if you're a fan of the vampire genre.

This review is from: My Lord Eternity (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
and I come down in the middle. It's a decent read and keeps the reader involved in the story, despite a few annoyances (like "my dove"). Yes, Lucien is arrogant, but that's typical of most romances; he is, nevertheless, humorous and full of joie de vivre, and those qualities made him likeable for me. Jocelyn is a strong heroine, and the villain's use of her good works as a lure and a torment is effective. Lucien is very protective of her with regards to her family as well.An interesting side note on this series is that it's fairly innocent, making it appropriate for more mature teens. I actually read these books to approve them for my daughter. No, they're not Julia Quinn or Teres Medeiros, but I have also read many that are much worse (one of which was written by Lisa Kleypas). So take it as a light read and enjoy a few hours with a nice vampire.

2.0 out of 5 stars
same story , different title,
This review is from: My Lord Eternity (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
I bought this book along with My Lord Vampire and My Lord Immortality because they were cheap and a quick read. Or so I thought. I found it hard to continue because it was much like the first book My Lord Vampire!
Same strong-willed, independent woman with a cruel family , same arrogant , tall , handsome, aquiline nosed hero. Every guy I think is handsome doesn't have an aquiline nose. Even the villians were the same . Same dumb tricks to get the Medallion , turning into mist , cutting Lucien the same as Gideon ! The authors overuse of the word "countenance " is very annoying. She could have simply said face or features a few times but countenance was used everytime. Almost as much as " my dove". I am not going to read My Lord Eternity because I am sure it's the same as the other two.
