5.0 out of 5 stars combines a reincarnation tale with a vampire romance, February 1, 2004

This review is from: A Whisper Of Eternity (Mass Market Paperback)

Landscape and seascape artist Tracy Warner is not sure why she felt obsessed to buy Nightingale House overlooking the Pacific near Sea Cliff, California. However, she does purchase the old home that has been empty for five years. However, she is unaware that another house resides underneath hers. That abode belongs to two millennium year old vampire Dominic St. John who is shocked to realize that the woman above is his soul mate. He prays that this time she accepts his gift of eternity together because for the first time she has come to him.

As Dominic and Tracy start seeing each other, she finds herself attracted and repelled by him. However, she also sees another person, full blooded human Bryon Longstreet. Dominic is jealous and Kitana, the woman who converted him all those centuries ago, has come to claim him as she once did. Kitana will do anything to have him including killing the current reincarnation of his soul mate.

A WHISPER OF ETERNITY combines a reincarnation tale with a vampire romance that fans will enjoy due to a strong lead couple and a fine supporting duo. Though at times Dominic's dominant alpha personality (what do you expect of a vampire - sensitivity?) becomes overbearing, paranormal readers will appreciate the heroine's ability to keep him in line and his need to risk all to keep her safe.

HE WILL NOT LOSE HER AGAIN
WHEN artist TRACY WARNER purchases the rambling seaside house built above DOMINIC ST. JOHN'S hidden lair,he recognizes in her spirit the woman he has loved countless times over the centuries.
Drawing her into the fascinating,seductive world of the vampire,he aches to believe that this time she will not refuse his Dark Gift.
But when Dominic's ancient rival appears in Sea Cliff,hungry for territory and power,Tracy becomes a pawn in a deadly game.
To save her - and the passion that burns between them-
Dominic must offer....
A WHISPER OF ETERNITY.

Okay, i told you whats on the back of the book, now i'll tell you what i think,i liked the book well enogh but it didn't grip
me as her other vampire novels,the hero loved this woman for centuries and everytime they meet again, she dies before he can bring her across.
I wanted to shout at this woman to get a clue,i just didn't feel the love and their was just not enough chemistry between them.
its a good read but its just not up to par with her other novels, where you can feel the story come alive.

This review is from: A Whisper Of Eternity (Mass Market Paperback)

So this was my first ever vampire romance novel and let's just say it left a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth (no pun intended).
At the beginning I was excited as the plot started to unfold but then it became a bit tiring.
Don't get me wrong, I loved Dominic, he was strong, sensual and intelligent, everything I would expect a vampire to be. I just couldn't understand his love for Tracy.
She knew her feelings for him but still kept on denying him the one thing he wanted and had waited for for centuries and then at the end when he changed her, without her permission, she accepted it with no major blow up. When that happened I was like huh? I mean she had freaked out more when Bryan was changed than when she was.
And could there not have been a more romantic place to have a honeymoon than Caesar's Palace? He's a vampire that has travelled the world over hundreds of times. I mean come on...Morocco, Switzerland, Greece?
And the fact that Kitana decided to marry Bryan made me think that Ashley just wanted to wrap up everything too tidily.
I'm not a person to drop an author after one book so I will give her a try once more.
