From the minute fate drew them together, Nic and Jo knew they were meant for one another. Admitting it, however, was an altogether different issue. especially when one of them was a vampire and the other a vampire hunter.

Immortal Nic Lucian couldn't have missed her, sitting there on one of his bar stools, drinking Chardonnay as if she didn't have a care in the world. She was the only human in the place. What did she want?

Jo Black hadn't come to Eternal, a high-end vampire night spot, to enjoy herself. She was on a mission to avenge her sister's murder. A vampire had killed Kristen and now one of them was going to pay with his life. Unfortunately, she'd been misinformed. Immortals weren't exactly vampires. Sunshine, wooden stakes, holy water and crosses didn't even come close to killing one. And come to find out, her sister was now one of them.

Convincing Jo that she was his long-awaited bond-mate and that he, his brothers Christian and Julian, and her now immortal sister meant her no harm was proving to be a monumental task, but one he was enjoying to no end. The sexy immortal might stir Jo's juices, heating them to the boiling point, but he was still an evil soulless monster. No matter how much she yearned for the pleasure of his touch, how could she give her heart and soul to him? When conspiracy, kidnapping and deception endanger the brothers and their bond-mates, they must come together to face a threat they hadn't seen coming. One that will take them all to defeat.

With Eternal, Crissy Smith has launched a new series that I'm already totally hooked on. This short story possesses all the elements of a great paranormal read - sensual sex between two strong, caring and appealing lovers, thoroughly enchanting and entertaining supporting characters, a liberal dose of nail-biting action and suspense, sibling antics that will put a smile on your face and one huge surprise at the end that is a bombshell guaranteed to knock your socks off . Mixed together, these elements keep this hard-to-put-down book moving smoothly and quickly along to a thoroughly satisfying ending.

Guaranteed to whet your appetite for more, pick this book up today! And then be on the lookout for forthcoming sequels for both of Nic's brothers and their bond-mates - Christian & Makayla and Julian & Kristen. I can't wait to see what Ms. Smith has in store for them.
