I recieved a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.
A beautiful and soulful romance between two broken and lonely person. This was a phenomenal read and proved to me that Cecy Robson can write contemporary just as well as she does with paranormal.
To be honest it surprised me how much I enjoyed this story because maybe I loved the Weird girls series my one previous attemot to read a contemporary from the author repertoare failed miserably. Yet this book, despite my reservations, sucked me in completly within the first page.
The writing is exquisite , the plot is interesting but not too drama filled so the focus stayes on the magical romance happening between the two main characters. The paceing of the plot is just right altought at some moments it felt a bit too slow for me in terms of how many days they actually experiencing under a certain percentage of the book. But then the connections, the leaps between scenes balance this out perfectly and create a dynamic and flowing line to follow.
I love when the emotions come through so clearly in a book that I practically can experience them, just like its the case here. However, I’mnot surprised about this because The author already proved herself on this front.
It’s not exactly the most upbeat story, I couldn’t ever call it the happiest one either since it has a heavier undertone abd you can feel that something deeper is shimmering in the background. But I really enjoyed it and it filled me up with a bit of a warm and fuzzy vibes. Eternal is a very entertaining and comforting read.
The tale is told alternating between Luci and Landonand the bond between them that we get an insight to is something I loved to experince once in real life.
In the beginning of the story they are both in a bind, they both been burned by loved ones just on different fronts.
From the outside Luci looks like a shy, conservative and closed offwoman but when you take the time to start an actual conversation with her qou realize how beautiful, helpful and vibrant she is truly. A hardworking woman, who despite her hard childhood, lives a mostly happy life thanks to the ones that took a chance on her. Yet, she has a huge secret that can cause her downfall. It’s a hard issue and while I couldn’t agree how she handles it most of the time, I can understand her somewhat.
Then there is Landon, who grew up with money, he had everything he ever should need expect true love. However, no matter how giving, helpful and down to earth he is, but he is not perfect. He never really expected to be decieved for his money because he grew up among decent people and couldn’t imagine less. Also I think he is a bit condescending without realizing it.
the chemistry between them is amazing and the sex scenes are not just numerous but off the charts hot too. But the physical attraction is not the only thing that works between them, the easy understanding and the quick, comfortable way they act around each other is a delight to encounter. I loved thet their relationship was just generally missing the awkwardness.
As I mentioned earlier I adored this story, however I only realized that this book is a second in a series by the familiar way it ‘talks’ about certain secondary characters, like I should already know their story. But the fact that I didn’t read the first book yet didn’t cause any trouble understanding this one.
The only thing that I can bring up against Eternal is that I think it could have benefitted from a bit more tension in it. Other than that I loved it.
