Genre: Paranormal Romance
Age Appropriate: Adult
Madelaine Alexander is on a mission. When her boss sends her to the hottest nightclub in town to meet with the owner, she won't be deterred, even if that means standing in line for fifty-eight minutes in torturous heels while she'd rather be home in her pj's with a bowl of popcorn.A Knight of the Templar, Christien Chevalier was given immortality along with the responsibility of protecting the treasure of the Templars. He's been unwavering in his task for centuries until his one true love—who died seven hundred years ago—shows up in his club, demanding his attention.
Christien couldn't protect Madelaine when they first fell in love. She was married to a lord and he was simply a knight. Now, through some unknown miracle, she stands before him again and they have a second chance. But Christien fears that Madelaine is being used as a pawn in a dangerous game, a game of good versus evil that could affect all of mankind...
My Thoughts.
I have to start by saying I absolutely loved this book, the storyline was exciting and sad and the flashbacks to the past to explain the present was a great idea.
I loved the characters Madelaine "Lainie" and Christien and you could just feel the love and attraction they had for each other it definately drew me in and I didn't want to stop reading.
We have our heroine Laine having to drop some papers off at a nightclub for a client at a firm she works for after finally making it inside after having lined up for 58 min and then being accosted by a drunken nightclubber she is saved by Christien who taken aback by how much Laine looks like his lost love from 700 years ago.
While in his prescence she has flashbacks to a previous life (she thinks she's hallucinating) of him and her.
Christien thinks he's being set up, while Lainie thinks she's going crazy (not knowing she's the reinarnation of Countess Madeline who Christien was in love with so long ago).
Christien was made immortal 700 years ago after Madeleine died and his job all these years was to protect a book which if fallen into the wrong hands could start the apocalypse.
So these two start to fall in love in the present and it seems Christien isn't the only immortal back from Lainie's previous life and they don't have good intentions towards her.
I really didn't want this book to end it was all things paranormal books should be, I'd really like to know what happened after they found it each other again.
I can't say enough good things about it and will have to check out all the author's other books.
I give this 5/5
This sounds seriously fabulous! You know, I probably wouldn't have given it a second look if it weren't for your review: just seen the cover and brushed it off. I seriously want to read it, now!
