Undying Desire, Jessica Lee.Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews.This is the third book in Jessica's Enclave series. I've read and enjoyed all three. Each is a standalone story, but builds upon events from previous books, so though you could read this without earlier ones you'll get best enjoyment from reading the whole series.As with the earlier books the vampires are hot; built, attractive, and sensual. There's sex. Lots of it – very erotic scenes, including BDSM and anal. So take note if that's not your scene, it fits well within the storyline though and for a change there's a couple of Dommes and a male submissive!Marcus, the Enclave warrior who was seduced and won over to the side of the evil Marguerite, was recaptured by the team in the last battle when she was killed at last. He's still mixed up, refusing to eat and kept imprisoned in the basement. He told his former partner Arran that Kenric had a daughter by Marguerite. Something he knew nothing about, and she's now 300 years old. Arran shares this with Second Guerino, and they decide if she's as evil as her mother, and with word out that she wants to kill Kenric and the Enclave that looks likely, she's a threat and that Kenric will feel he has to kill her, something no father should have to do. They decide Guerino will seek her out and see what needs to happen.Its the same blend of story, danger and sensuality that characterises the others in this series. Its a fun read, and realistic within the realms of fantasy – I hate it when authors pull new talents out just at the danger point, I like to know what the characters can do and that the danger is real, not that it will be overcome by some new and unheard of wonder skill. Guerino was a great lead, as with all the enclave warriors he's hot and sexy, but very moral and out to protect those who need it. He sees Eve as needing that protection and though there's a sizzling attraction that they both let happen, she's not so sure of the long term with him. Years, centuries of hatred of Kenric and his Enclave can't be undone just on someone's word. No matter how sexy he is.Stars: Four, an erotic and compelling read.ARX supplied via Netgalley
