Life on the farm was idyllic for Darelle. Her sheep and her family were all that matter to her. Returning to the farm after a long absence, Darelle found her family dead from the plague and her life shattered. The sickness spread and she soon fell prey to the devastating disease. Then she met Seigneur Lascaux. To save her life, he changed her to something less than human. A vampire. Distraught, desperate to get away, Darelle made a daring bid for escape.
A fable was told for centuries about a priestess prophesized to save a dying race. They are the les Coeurs Eternels, vampires who still have a heartbeat. Twins, Kane and Gareth searched the world over until they found her. Darelle. Together, they rescue her but not without a fight. On the run, they tied to teach Darelle about her new life.
Lascaux terrified Darelle, not because he was evil, but because of the control he had over her life and the desire he made her feel. As she came to understand her new world and her guardians, Darelle couldn't help but fall in love with both men. But Lascaux was not the only one hunting them. Soldiers of the Cross have tracked them, indiscriminately killing any vampire or les Coeurs Eternels they found. They carefully lay a trap for Darelle that took centuries to come to fruition. Darelle had a choice, to risk everything she held dear or risk losing herself.
Kane and Gareth are very distinctive men. Talk about gorgeous hunks! Their caring and protective nature can melt anyone’s hearts. I would have liked Darelle to be a little stronger character, but she really grew into herself by the end of the book. Darelle’s Trinity was a good story, but the first sex scene felt orchestrated and a bit contrived. I wanted to see the characters grow by themselves without outside help. The words flowed well, creating a story that easily held my interest and was a joy to read. The romance, as well as the sex, felt natural between the characters.
