Melissa is a vampire; Derek is a vampire hunter.
When beautiful, sad Melissa Jones flees to New Orleans with her telepathic best friend, she is looking for a cure–not an erotic encounter with a sexy former Marine.
Derek Alexander left the military intending to become a private investigator, but with two powerful shifters as partners and an immunity to vampire glamour, he instead rose to the top in paranormal justice.
At a bar on Bourbon Street, Derek and Melissa cross paths, and their sexual chemistry is off the charts. Acting on their feelings, they are pulled deeper into an affair, but Melissa is hiding, hoping to escape her cruel maker.
It doesn’t take long before the shifters uncover her secret. Still, Derek is determined to confront the Old One and reclaim her mortality–even at the risk of losing his.
A STANDALONE PARANORMAL ROMANCE with an HEA based on characters from the One to Hold series. Contains voluptuous vampires, alluring alpha military heroes, scorching-hot shifters, beguiling witches, and panty-melting sexy times. Keep the fans nearby… Readers 18 and older only, please.
My Review
One Immortal is the perfect read for the month of October. Not only is a great paranormal romance, but it totally put me in the Halloween spirit. Now, I don’t know about you, but retellings usually worry. You wonder if it will be as good as the original? Will it be the exact same story? Well, I have to tell you, Tia Louise totally pulled off this re-telling!
If you’ve already read One to Hold by Tia Louise, then you are already familiar with Derek and Melissa’s story. One Immortal is a paranormal retelling of that story. Is it the exact same story you ask? My answer: It is, but it isn’t. This re-telling took all of the elements we loved about Derek and Melissa’s story and gave it a paranormal flare. So, while some parts may feel familiar, thanks to the paranormal changes, it feels like a completely different story.
I have to admit, I was a little worried. When I read the synopsis, I was definitely intrigued by it and thought to myself October, why not check it out. I had so many things going through my mind as I read this, but I have to tell you, all my concerns blew out the window as soon as I started reading. I was hooked. I so easily got lost in Melissa and Derek’s story. I loved all the changes and paranormal aspects. And, if it’s possible, I think I enjoyed Derek and Melissa’s story even more with this time around.
One Immortal was a quick and easy read for me. I absolutely loved this re-telling and was totally impressed by it. I loved that it was told from dual points of view. Derek and Melissa’s story captivated me and kept me spellbound right to the very end. One Immortal gave me everything that I want in a good paranormal read. It was entertaining, sexy, intriguing, and mysterious. It had action and suspense and kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the little twists the author added in. Take all of that and add in vampires, a psychic, a witch, shape-shifters, vampire hunters and one hot alpha male; you have a recipe for a really great read.
If you are a fan of the One to Hold series, than I would definitely say you do not want to miss this little treat that Tia Louise has given us.
