By: Dianne Duvall

Length: 11 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Dr. Melanie Lipton is no stranger to the supernatural. She knows immortals better than they know themselves, right down to their stubborn little genes. So although a handsome rogue immortal seems suspicious to her colleagues, Sebastien Newcombe intrigues Melanie. His history is checkered, his scars are impressive, and his ideas are daring. But it's not his ideas that have Melanie fighting off surges of desire....

Bastien is used to being the bad guy. In fact, he can't remember the last time he had an ally he could trust. But Melanie is different - and under her calm, professional exterior he senses a passion beyond anything in his centuries of experience. Giving in to temptation is out of the question - he can't put her in danger. But she isn't asking him....

Critic reviews

"Both characters have realistic and very human emotions, lending them significant relatability. Duvall uses recurring characters from previous titles to continue building her intriguing paranormal world with increasing flair and writerly skill." ( Publishers Weekly)

Ignore the low stars

I hate it when people give low stars when a book just simply isn’t bad. This book had just the right balance of sex and emotion and fighting. The ending was a great segway into what’s to come in the next book.

The narrator is a rockstar per usual and the story held my attention. Couldn’t wait to keep listening!

a great series to follow

I am loving this series, each character is uniquely different and I am obsessed with the lives and the love amongst the immortal gaurdians.
a great read for anyone interested in romance, action and some supernatural that feels natural.

Love it!

What's not to love? This story has it all, romance, mystery, battle, suspense and more! Ive read this series a dozen times and it never gets old! Dianne Duvall is amazing and Kirsten potter (narrator) is so talented!

Awesome

omg I'm rereading every book! I am so in love with the characters. Seth is freaking hot lol! I can't wait for David to fall in love.

AN ADDICTIVE PULSE POUNDING PARANORMAL TALE

Loved each and every book so far but I advise listening to them in order to get the most out of the Immortal Guardians and each of their adventures.

Bastien is a hunky, handsome, misunderstood Immortal who's still brooding on delusions from decades past which has led him to be the most disliked Immortal and is alienated by his fellow Guardians, and that of course just makes us like and root for him - the hurting underdog - all the more. This book contains an action packed storyline that's full of suspense, intrigue, passion and humour that has me begging Ms Duvall for more more more please.

Worth a credit? Yes definately and if you liked Lords of The Underworld and/or The Black Dagger Brotherhood then I'm sure you'll think so too (but if you haven't heard of these books before.... firstly, where have you been? and then secondly, check them out ASAP!!).

Melanie and Bastion

I love this series. There is always a compelling romance and lots of action. More than that, there are little hints of the story's trajectory that tease and titillate. The writing and performance are excellent

LOVE THE IMMORTALS

What did you like about this audiobook?

I have already listen to it twice. I like where the storyline is going

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

Just as good as the first two, love all the characters

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

Yes, this is the best

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

Yes, I loved when they tracked down the bad guy and Amy was able to get her revenge.

Do you have any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Organic Vegetarian Propaganda

Don't get me wrong, the story is pretty interesting and, while the 'vampire' meets girl base is trite, it has a unique enough twist to make reading worth while. HOWEVER; if I hear one more time how dangerous non-organic food is I might stab myself in the eyeball. It's odd how big of a plot point the organic vegetarian diet is.
I've also turned the author's penitent to use heart-rate in conjunction with arousal into a drinking game. Just saying.

an all nighter kinda read

loved it is not a phrase that sufficiently describes my love for this series or this story. heart pound, dear gripping, enthralling, perhaps all of those words combined my do the job, yet it still seems unfitting. Diannes work is untouchable, and leaves you with a breathless feeling of awe, and wanting more.My days of reading this series , will be ongoing, reading the series just once would simply be a sin of the most grevious kind.

Great series, totally worth it!

I have to say that as of late I have been dissapointed with what is out there to read...I like a good romance, but am SOOO sick of rich boy meets virginal girl...thank GOD this book isn't like that! I have to say this whole series surprised me in a very good way. You get the heat, the romance, and a very interesting vampire world that has been created for you with great charachters...kind of reminds me of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Overall, I think this is a great series and book.
