Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Alexander's job is to protect his queen, time and time again. Romy's blood is the only thing that keeps her family alive. But others in the royal line, even if its many times removed, want the throne. The book had merit. I liked the idea of the vampire queen being rejuvenated time and time again. BUT! Its doesn't tell you HOW she dies each time, or ANY time. It doesn't tell you what spell was cast to enable her to be reborn, as it were. It doesn't tell you how Alex finds her each time. It doesn't go into great detail about things that needed to be in great detail. It has an enormous amount of dialogue. Far too much for my liking. It needs editing. Badly. or at least a decent beta read. At one point, Alex talks about meeting Romy first in 1800. Then Romy says in the seventeen hundreds. Another point, there is a remote viewer( a person who can see scenes far away) its shortened to RV in one place, then RM in another. And it moves at SPEED, like rocket speed. I did struggle to keep up at points. But I did like it, overall. It just needs tightening up.

Born in London, Uk to Irish parents I lived there until, at the age of ten, we moved to the North of the country. Then, in 1968, we emigrated to Australia where I have spent the last forty-eight years. Living on the east coast including Sydney, Townsville and now Melbourne.
I have two grown children and the two most beautiful grand-daughters ever born on this earth.
I am, for the most part, an average woman now in her sixties but I do have some slight differences to most. For one thing I am an unabashed and unashamed cougar. I love young, handsome and fit men. I am a gym junkie so he must be one too or no dice. Take, for instance, the muse for my erotic tales the breath-takingly handsome Mr. Henry Cavill of Man of Steel fame. He is and will remain my forever muse.
