Ildaria Garcia has always seemed to attract trouble. She’s been on the run for nearly 200 years after a traumatizing event in her youth and in that time has developed a habit of helping those in dire situations and taking out would-be criminals. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been camouflaging her superhuman abilities as well as she should during her vigilante activities and has drawn too much attention to the Immortals. Now she’s caught the notice of the Council and must relocate once again and try to stay out of trouble in a different city, where she finds herself in a totally different sort of entanglement with the owner of the local Immortal night club.
Joshua James Simpson Guiscard, better known as G.G. because of his 6’5” frame and signature green Mohawk, knows plenty about Immortals since his mother and stepfather are Immortals themselves. G.G. is slightly wary of Immortals, but instantly and fiercely attracted to Ildaria. He’s a bit alarmed to learn they could be possible life mates, as he’s always wanted to remain mortal. When the past she ran from finds her in Toronto, G.G. must decide what he’s willing to do to stay by Ildaria’s side, forever.
The books in this series seem to be either his or miss for me, but this one was a hit. I loved G.G. as the gentle giant hero with a fluffy white dog. It was just adorable to me. He and Ildaria were such an odd pairing but they were adorable together. I appreciated that this was relatively low on angst and G.G. and Ildaria were quick to communicate with each other openly rather than try to play games. There was a great twist here that didn’t go the way I expected it to, and I found G.G.’s mother and her sly manipulations of the men in her life to be hilarious. Ildaria’s gaining of a family after so long on her own was also very sweet, almost as much so as her growing to trust G.G. I think this story flowed well and it was a nice feel good read for me.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
