Product Description
For over two hundred years, the cost of eternity for Lorcan MacKenna has been unending loneliness. Territorial creatures of darkness, vampires can't peacefully exist near each other. Human companions age and die, leaving him to face the long nights alone. After the death of his last lover, Lorcan vows to avoid the pain of loss. Until a down-and-out actor finds himself in danger and Lorcan can't resist saving the young man. Kevin St. James never expected to find himself offering sex for money, especially not to men. A desperate need for quick cash, a dark alley, and things go terribly wrong. His dark rescuer brings out feelings hidden so deep, Kevin never realized they were there. Reveling in newfound sensations, Kevin welcomes his new lover. But just as Lorcan has a secret, so too does Kevin.
Reader Reviews
I love "Thirty Days" and am glad to read more from this writer. The Cost of Eternity is an emotionally charged vampire erotica, with a tightly paced plot. I like both men here. Unlike most vampire tales, the writer does not glorify the vampire character. Rather Lorcan seems quite ordinary in physique which actually makes this character credible and appealing. Kevin is endearing in his innocence and vulnerability and Lorcan's protectiveness over his younger human lover is most touching. I love the chemistry and strong bond between these 2 men. Their sex is hot but it is the emotional pull of the story which I enjoy. This is the first of a series, as there are 2 books so far, but it is equally satisfying as a "stand alone". The second book focuses on a different cast of characters with a more complex plot. As for the relationship it is "more than a menage a trois" which I do not favor as I question the romantic notion of a M/M/M/F (ugh...). Lorcan and Kevin do feature in the second book, 2/3 through the story, and their short appearance certainly enliven the plot. I hope the writer will switch back to Lorcan and Kevin in future volumes.
