Guardians of Eternity

review 1: Darkness Avenged is book #10 in the long-standing Guardians of Eternity series by Alexandra Ivy, and for many it reads like a bonus book because readers actually get 2 couples: Nefri and Santiago serve as the main romantic duo, while Roke and Sally are just beginning their story together. The trend of introducing a second couple works so well because it gives readers a chance to learn more about the characters without being rushed, creates a fair amount of pent-up sexual tension, plus it adds layers to the main plotline.Nefri and Santiago are both proud and powerful vampires that have been forced together once again to help stop the vampire Gaius from releasing an evil that will bring death and destruction in its wake. They share an attraction that neither can, or want, to... more explain, with Nefri believing that any sort of relationship would be impossible because she is leader to a clan that lives behind the Veil, and Santiago refusing to accept her excuses any longer. He is persistent and determined to change her mind. Let's just say that a determined Santiago equals a very satisfied Nefri...the lust between these two is white hot! It also helps that lust isn't the only thing the share. They respect each other as equals even when Santiago's instincts scream to go alpha.Roke and Sally play into the story because Santiago and Nefri need Sally's power as a witch to help them defeat Gaius and his evil plan. Roke is meant to guard Sally and prevent her from escaping until the vampires know whether or not she can be trusted. Something unexpected happens and suddenly the vampire and his witch are dealing with much more than anyone bargained for. I'm looking forward to reading what Ivy has planned for Roke and Sally in the next book!Overall, a very action-packed paranormal romance that showcases strong couples skirting the line between danger and desire. I remain a dedicated fan of the Guardians of Eternity.
review 2: Nefri is a clan chief and always wants what’s best for her people. She has a past that she regrets, just like a lot of other vampires. She just never thought that she could let her guard down around men. Until one person came along and saw through her walls. Santiago is not the type of person who likes to take orders. But the leader of the quadrant that he is a part of; ordered him to stay in one place. He never wanted a mate. But when he met one person he realized that having a mate might not be a bad idea in the first place.Santiago is definitely an Alpha male and doesn’t want his woman to be in harm’s way. But Nefri is anything but the type to stand down and be away form danger. She will do whatever it takes to keep her past hidden and her clan safe. But she knew she could not do her k=mission without his help. So she agreed to let him come along with her. Throughout the book, the two characters were at each other’s throats and in each other’s bed. At first they just thought that they were scratching an itch but in the end they realized that they have fallen in love with each other. And after their mission was done they would decide what to do afterwards. In the end though Santiago wants to be with Nefri so he told her he would follow her wherever she went.I have always been a fan of this author. She always has a way to suck you into her books. She also has a way of writing that makes you not want to put her books down. This book in particular was action packed with violence and romance. The perfect romantic suspense book. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. less
