"A fine addtion to The "Forever" vampire series"

Antonia Stonewright moves from York to Bringham after purchasing "Orchard House" from Dixie Marlowe (KISS ME FOREVER) with the intention to open a gallery and craft center. Centuries old, and jaded when it came to men, Antonia thinks she's seen everything. What she hadn't known when she paid a call to interview the talented but reclusive town potter, Michael Langton, was that she'd be meeting the local legend, or that she'd be losing her heart to a shapeshifter. What on earth would Gwyltha think of the infamous Surrey Puma as an addition to her colony? Not that Antonia cared.......much.

Elizabeth (a.k.a. the ghoul Angela -- BE MINE FOREVER) has accompanied Antonia to Bringham in order to assist her with the renovations. With her memory now intact, Elizabeth is no vamp's slave, something she's determined to prove to her erstwhile lover, Tom Kyd, who had forbidden her to go. Tom is out of sight for the moment, however he is not remotely out of mind....or heart. Elizabeth is also a practicing witch, and although the aura of the place holds lingering evil from the previous inhabitants, she is drawn to the "magic" garden and determines to make its restoration her special project. She also stirs up the townsfolk when she contacts members of the local coven to feel them out.

All seems well until Stella Corvus (LOVE ME FOREVER) brings her son Sam up to visit his old babysister (Elizabeth). While paying for gas, Stella's rental is car-jacked with her beloved son inside. With her newly acquired vampire speed and strength, the thief is no match for the irate mother. Stella and Sam arrive at Orchard House with a mashed car and a bag of jewelry which was no doubt also stolen. Justin and Tom come down to handle the both the problem with the car and the stolen gems, leaving the latter to be found by the vicar's wife. With nothing to tie Stella and Sam to the crime all should be well once more. But nothing in Bringham is ever without complications, and when a woman's body is found during the demolition of Orchard House's old air raid shelter, Antonia and gang begin to wonder if it had been wise to set foot in a town that had held nothing but evil for their friends Dixie and Kit.

Where you find Gwyltha's colony, murder, mystery, and mayhem are sure to follow and this time is no exception. KEEP ME FOREVER is a fine addition to Ms. Laurey's vampire series. It is always a pleasure to visit with "old friends", but now that Antonia has found the love of her lengthy life in the legendary and heroic Michael, have all the ends been tied up at long last? Who knows? Perhaps the adventures will go on FOREVER, this reviewer certainly hopes so!

Rosemary Laurey is back with another wickedly delicious tale of love, lust, and the otherworldly with a new, and decidedly sexy, twist...

Summary

Antonia Stonewright isn't about to change her views on love. A sexy mortal companion is fine every now and then, but a soul mate? A partner for life? Please. She was burned once, and hundreds of years haven't healed the wounds. But reclusive potter Michael Langton is...different. His gorgeous wares are perfect for her new art gallery—and his gorgeous body is perfect for her. She can't get enough of his toned muscles or his amazing, dark eyes. Their nights together make them both purr with pleasure—except in Michael's case, purring comes naturally. So much for finding a regular boyfriend. Antonia has a truly sexy beast on her hands...
