Rating: 5 out of 5

Ancient vampires, with sometimes archaic speech, add dragon shifters, an ancient curse, and a god who has decided it’s time to find mates for his guardian warriors and I am hooked on Valerie Twombly’s Eternal Flame the first in her new series Guardians. Marcus has lived alone for centuries, ever since he lost his mate and that is just fine by him, no one to need, be needed by, feel pain for, etc.Apparently, this is not to be as he is told a new mate has been chosen for him, and she is human! Cassie is all about avoiding love; it hurts too much, so her job is her life, but she can’t help dreaming of her perfect man. Of course, when they meet, the sparks fly as the heat factor rises between these two! Is Marcus too good to be true? Is there more to Cassie than meets the eye? Will the danger represented by the dragon shifters tear them apart…or worse?Valerie Twombly has nailed this one! Her style is refreshing, with dialogue that fits the characters! Of course, ancient beings would speak more formally than contemporary humans! She has created two insecure-on-the-inside characters that just scream “right for each other,” and give them enough trouble to prove they make a good pair! With some many supporting characters that beg to be expanded on, I see some great future additions to this series that has a firmly established platform to launch from!
