Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

3. 5 stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

This novella is set within the Elemental Legacy<\/i> world, and is the second book for Gavin and Chloe, continuing their story as a committed couple.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t recommend reading this book as a standalone, and please note that is does contain some spoilers for storylines in earlier books in this spin-off series.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been five years since Gavin and Chloe fell in love in The Devil and the Dancer<\/a>. They are together, they are happy, and they are navigating their human\/vampire relationship well. But Gavin hasn\u2019t fully let Chloe into his world, and he\u2019s also fearful of what their future holds.<\/p>\n

He loved her. He hadn\u2019t loved a being more than her in over 150 years. To him, she was<\/i> eternity.
\nAnd Gavin had no idea what he\u2019d do if she didn\u2019t choose him. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A death in the family sends Chloe travelling across the country (with Ben, Tenzin and friends to accompany her), and forces her to confront her future. And with dedicated, protective and swoony Gavin by her side, it\u2019s time for him to open up to her more, and for them to discuss what comes next for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent nearly two hundred years alone, and then I found you.\u201d He shook his head. \u201cYou charming, funny, magnetic, brilliant woman, of course I want you forever.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a really sweet read. It\u2019s romantic and sexy, and there\u2019s a little bit of excitement when bad guys from Gavin\u2019s business life threaten the only thing he truly cares about. I loved seeing Gio and Beatrice, Ben and Tenzin again and just loved being back in this world.<\/p>\n

Gavin and Chloe\u2019s story feels finished-but-not-finished, but they will appear in future books in this world, and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get to see what the future has in store for them.<\/p>\n

3.5 stars.<\/p>\n
