An amazing story! Definitely a keeper.
A must read. A good page turner.
A enjoyable read. An average book.

Goodreads Blurb:
A woman he cannot have, a man who is only a dream…
When guardian Marcus Dagotto, discovers the gods have gifted him with a mate, he is pissed. He has no room for love and even less for a human who has no idea he exists.
Cassandra Jensen, has a shattered heart and has given up on men. Only one man can set her body on fire, but he is a fantasy that haunts her sleep.Two worlds, one desire. When the two collide, fate will rip them apart and test their resolve. Will darkness and evil prevail? Or, will love conquer all?
In the prologue and first few chapters, the author introduces various
characters in the midst of a battle and I found it a little difficult to absorb
it all. We’re introduced to the Guardians of Humanity: Aidyn – their prince,
Marcus – a healer and Aidyn’s best friend/guardian, Queen Daria – Aidyn’s
mother, Zarek – the supreme god, Drayos – a demon who cursed the Guardians,
Baal, Lucan, Garin, Kothar demons, The Chosen….and you get the idea. It’s a lot to take in but so worth it.
The Guardians were created with both darkness (warrior) and light
(guardian) to protect the human race.
They are cursed by the demon, Drayos, to eventual darkened souls that
will make them evil – killing all in their path. Drayos is also responsible for the loss of many
of their female population as he implants demon spawns in their wombs and
darkens their souls – for which there is no cure. This leaves the Guardians
with the daunting task of cutting off the heads of their spouses, sisters,
friends, and mothers to keep this evil from spreading, as well as a diminishes
their female population.
Cassandra Jensen is a human nurse who has been having some pretty
authentic, sensual dreams of a gorgeous man who likes to do more than nibble
her delectable tidbits… Little does she realize she’s the chosen mate for this
figment of her imagination (Marcus). Marcus
resists this union as he feels he has already failed one potential mate, but Cassandra’s
mortal status is one he has no interest in.
Once they meet, sparks fly and the real adventures begin. Taking an accelerated course in the
supernatural, Cassandra must choose which world is the better fit for her.
Twombly has interwoven fascinating characters and story plots that will
leave you wanting for more. There are a
couple of characters that I hope she is writing stories for now.
Having read paranormal authors like: Kenyon, Ward, Cole, Feehan, McCarty,
Wolff, Armintrout and more, I believe Twombly to be right in their league. She
has interwoven fascinating characters and story plots that will leave you
wanting for more. She has laid the
foundation of a series that I will surely continue to follow as there are a
couple of characters that I hope she is writing stories for now.
If you enjoy paranormal with demons, gods and goddesses, vampires, shape
shifters, dragons, alternate worlds with a balance of adventure, humor,
loyalty, friendship and romance, you should read Eternal Flame.
