Kim Carmichael's Eternity is the kind of story that reminds you that true love IS possible and happens when you least expect it.  Lucy has never been comfortable around men but is desperate to find love as she longs for a connection to another.  She thought the love of her life was her coworker Joshua until the night Cupid enters her life to coach her in the ways of love and sets her on a journey of decadent delights. Lucy is a dreamer who feels comfortable in her own world but feels uncomfortable making the first move.  She has a shell around her that feels safe and yet she's lonely.  Her loneliness is palpable and made me sad for her and rooting for her to become more vocal in the fate of the future.Therin hates being called Cupid as he doesn't wear a diaper and he's tall, sexy, and to die for.  He's a Facilitator whose final mission is to help Lucy find love.  He has rules he's supposed to live by but the honesty, sweetness, and joy he sees in her eyes at the smallest things completely wins him over as their lessons take on a more intense turn. With his soul on the line the teacher has now become the student as Lucy shows him the meaning of real love if he's just willing to take a chance.Therin and Lucy are a wonderful couple!  Their sexual encounters are steamy and you can see Lucy coming out of her shell the longer she's with him.  From these steamy encounters to the quiet moments spent talking you see a connection building that transcends their mortal/immortal differences.  His jaded nature needs her dream-like ideals and they both give the other exactly what they need to reach an immensely satisfying HEA.  Though the ending of the story is rushed, their romantic journey was nicely paced to allow the sexual tension to build and knowing they only had a week together leant a frantic feel to every moment they had together.  Ms. Carmichael's ultimately written a truly romantic story that incorporates intriguing paranormal elements and it was the perfect way to spend Valentine's Day.
