Eternal Kiss (Mark of the Vampire Series #2)

a super urban romantic fantasy

Although he detests what he has volunteered to do, Nicholas Roman remains resolute that his brother Lucien will not become a breeding male like their unknown dad was. Thus he agrees to work with the vampire Eternal Order instead though he loathes doing anything for this tyrannical group as he prefers living as a normal.

Female vampire Kate Everborne is near release having served her sentence for breaking the law in a vampire prison. However, she observes impure vampire Ethan Dare murder a female vampire. The dying female persuades Kate to escort her son Ladd to his pure-blood vampire father, Nicholas. Kate accompanies Ladd to his sire, but is caught in the crosshairs of a vampiric war between Dare and the Roman siblings.

The second Mark of the Vampire (see Eternal Hunger for Alexander Roman's tale) is a super urban romantic fantasy due to the powerful Wright mythos that makes the realm of the Eternal Order seem genuine and ergo readers will believe vampires exist. Nicholas and Kate are a fabulous pairing as she trusts no one except his siblings and she trusts no one as betrayal is the norm in her experience. Yet trust and reliance are needed if this pair is to not just survive, but to mate in love. This author clearly has the Wright stuff with the complicated world of the Roman vampire brothers.

Eternal Kiss is dark and sexy; every page will leave you craving for more!

I fell in love with the Roman brothers in the first novel of the Mark of the Vampire series, Eternal Hunger but this novel, Eternal Kiss, just blew me away! Nicholas Roman's story is dark, deep, dangerous and enthralling - I could not put it down! He has a lurid past and a shocking secret that could destroy the life he's built with his brothers and his developing relationship with Kate if it's ever revealed.

I have to admit that I was drawn to Nicky from the start, in the first novel he was the gentlemen of the brothers but you could tell that there was a tortured soul underneath his calm veneer and in Eternal Kiss author Laura Wright masterfully peels away the multiple layers in his character, drawing you deeper and deeper into him until there is no turning back. Honestly, he is one of my favorite heroes out there. Everything I look for in one, he has! Loyal, sexy, self-sacrificing, fierce, strong, smart, brave, loving.I can keep going and going.
He is paired with the perfect heroine for him, Kate Everborne. I rarely find a series where I love all the heroines but so far we're two for two here. Kate is smart, courageous, strong and witty; the ultimate heroine. The relationship between these two could not of been better written. Both Nicky and Kate have major baggage and trust issues but the intense sexual tension is the biggest shining point, and it leads to a scorching climax for these two. Scorching people.
But they weren't the only characters in this book; there were subplots involving others that just enhance the story and invest you further into this world. The dialogue between the brothers themselves is humorous, sarcastic and entertaining; some of my favorite scenes are with all three of them.

Every scene is well thought out, detailed and descriptive; immersing the reader fully into the story line.
I loved the fact that Wright provided a glossary for this novel, the word that she has created is interesting and unique but it always helps to have a page you could turn to if you forget what a new word or term used in the story means.

Nail biting twists and turns, fantastical suspense, relentless action and fiery romance this is a paranormal romance that you cannot pass up! There was also a fabulous set up for the next book in the series, Eternal Captive, which I am just dying for!

Great Finds

I loved Nicky's book. His pain was so sad and real. When you finish you feel you truly know him. The only problem for me is I don't want to wait for the next in the series to be released. I need my Roman fix on a regular basis.

This is the second book in the mark of the vampires series. Ni

This is the second book in the mark of the vampires series.

Nicholas... Dark Past and his story really tugged at my heart. I loved Kate. It's nice to see a strong heroine instead of some of the whiney ones I've seen lately in books. I thought the first book was awesome but Eternal Kiss kicked it up a notch!!!

This is the second book in the series! Its about Nicholas Roman

This is the second book in the series!
Its about Nicholas Roman , who is my favorite brother!!

These books keep getting better and better!!

Eternal Order at it again

His father unknown, his mother dead, Nicholas Roman was raised by the vampire Breed with one wish: to live as a normal vampire. But once he's transformed against his will into a gifted immortal, Nicholas now has one goal: to stop the Eternal Order of vampires from controlling his life and from transforming more males from his bloodline for their vicious reign. Then comes a beautiful stranger with a startling secret . . .

Vampire Kate Everborne claims she's sheltering Nicholas's long-lost son. If this is true, then who is the mother? And how endangered are they if, indeed, Nicholas does possess the bloodline so coveted by the Order? These are questions that with every seductive whisper, every silken touch, draw Nicholas and Kate intimately closer and nearer still to the truth. But aroused too are Nicholas's fears that this tantalizing woman has even more secrets -- both dangerous and provocative -- she has yet to share.

Raised by the Breed, Nicholas Roman wants to stop the Eternal Order of Vampires from controlling his life, and using other males from his bloodline -including possibly his son- for their vicious reign. Only a beautiful vampire stranger can help him, but what are her true motives?

If you enjoyed the early years of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, then you'll easily get sucked into this story. It's almost shocking how similar the tales are, but regardless, this book was entertaining and intense. I enjoyed the heat between Kate & Nicholas the most, but also liked their competitive & silly banter throughout the book as well. Ladd was a delightful addition to the overall characters and really added a lot of sentimental value to many of Nicholas's actions. If you're looking for a hot story with lots of dark adventures, Eternal Kiss won't let you down. Now I'm on to reading Book #1 and Book #3, coming out early next year.

Likes: Kate's joyful experiences of pop-corn and movies were cute since they were so new & exciting for her.

Dislikes: Just like the BDB series, there were parts I just skipped over because they bored me -- thus I skipped lots of Ethan Dare's story.

Good Book!!

I really liked this series and can't wait for the next one to come out. If you like vampire books, this is a good series to read.

Eternal Kiss- My first eternal love

I came upon this book in a public library a while back. What caught my eye first, of course, was the picture of Nicholas Roman. GORGEOUS!!!!! After reading two chapters, I couldn't put the book down. Just the language in which it was written made me smile along with the description of the other to Roman Brothers, Alexander and Lucian, and the sexual experiences shared between Nicky and Kate. Vampire romance has always found its way into my library.

The women in this book are exactly the way I want to be in my own self. Kate, the strong, fighting, courageous, smart veanna, is something every woman needs in them. Sarah has the traits of a motherly figure, but is still strong headed and confident in herself about being a mate to a Roman Brother.

The ending has such a twist that you are almost unprepared for it. I know I was. I encourage anyone who loves vampires to read this book and all the others surrounding it. I fell in love with Nicholas from the very beginning. It is without saying that I believe you will to.

wow!

I loved this and cant wait for the next! HOT hot hot scenes! romance, suspense....luv'd it!

Great Story!!

I love the second book in the Mark of the Vampire Series. It does a great job on moving along the main story line that runs through each book, which is a plus. I also enjoyed how both Nicholas and Kate moved on from their pass life, and learned what it meant to be able to love and count on someone. I believe you should read these books in order to fully enjoy them. The first book is Eternal Hunger. Happy reading!

WOW!! GREAT ADDITION!

After falling in love with the first book in this series, Laura writes about another brother that I couldn't help falling for again. I enjoyed that the difference between brothers in each book was able to set the mood. Yet the strong loyalties for family held strong. This book is my personal favorite between the two so far, but am itching to read more.

Outrageously fantastic!

I enjoy the vampire lore and this series has been fabulous. The author has written a completely different spin on the vamp world. I do hope this series continues on for awhile.
