Police Sergeant Carolyn Hamilton has been a solid cop for
many years but has just been put on indefinite medical
leave. All because she saw a man get lifted into the air to
become impaled on the horns of a stuffed elk head and there
was no one else in the room. Fantastic yes, but she saw it
with her own eyes. Of course no one else did thus she is
put on leave. She has no way of knowing that when she seeks
help she will be CLAIMED BY THE IMMORTAL.
Her detective friend Pat Matthews sends her to Messenger
Investigations. Jude Messenger handles the stuff that
police can't. She goes to him and finds herself put into a
world that she didn't see coming. Damien Keller is
certainly unexpected and unsettling especially when she
finds the two are vampires. Right, vampires. After what she
saw she could believe there are really such things as
vampires, demons, bokors, elementals ... any other
surprises...
oh yes ... she is a mage who quickly must learn to use
powers
she had hidden.
Damien was only there to help Jude with something and
really should have gone back to Germany, but after meeting
Caro a part of him was glad he stayed. The other part
wanted to run very fast. He was always a sucker for a
strong woman and this one was also beautiful and sexy and
in trouble. Just what he needs and just what he wants.
CLAIMED BY THE IMMORTAL is a steamy, action packed look at
vampire private investigators and the hidden world they
thrive in. I enjoyed this book with the sometimes humorous
dialogue among all the characters, main and secondary; the
heat between Damien and Caro and the intriguing touches of
black magic. I also found it fascinating the way our couple
tried very hard to get "it" out of their systems only to
fail miserably. It was also interesting the way author
Rachel Lee added the touch of a modern human crisis as the
cause for the crimes. Remarkable read for anyone who loves
vampires, strong women and passion to the max.
A vampire mage and a modern cop team up to battle evil
magic...
When police sergeant Caro Hamilton witnesses a man being
killed by an invisible assailant, she suspects a detective
agency with a reputation for solving "weird cases" might be
her only hope. Especially now that she senses someone has
been watching her ever since she saw the murder. But when
Caro walks in the door, her own uncanny skills tell her
these aren't ordinary men...especially Damien Keller, who,
surprisingly enough, is the first person to believe her.
Once a Persian mage, Damien is drawn to Caro in a way that
no woman has ever attracted him. The magic glimmering within
this mortal witch calls to his own, and the need to possess
Caro drives him, until it's all-consuming. The vampire can
fight it...or he can save her, teach her and damn himself.
