Rating: Summary: Vampire Romance reader Review: EXCELLENT!!! All great vampire romances are character driven and this one is no exception. I love character driven vampire romances.
I'm deffinitely keeping a copy of this book and will read it again. I can't beleive the other reviews! There is so much trash out there lately when it comes to vampire romance novels and Amanda Ashley is on par with Christine Feehan. I'm just glad I didn't listen to those recent reviews. To each her own.
The characters were well done, you really get a feel for the old house the heroine moves into and the hero is very sexy indeed. I can't wait for the next one.
GREAT BOOK
Rating: Summary: A GREAT READ Review: HE WILL NOT LOSE HER AGAIN WHEN artist TRACY WARNER purchases the rambling seaside house built above DOMINIC ST. JOHN'S hidden lair,he recognizes in her spirit the woman he has loved countless times over the centuries. Drawing her into the fascinating,seductive world of the vampire,he aches to believe that this time she will not refuse his Dark Gift. But when Dominic's ancient rival appears in Sea Cliff,hungry for territory and power,Tracy becomes a pawn in a deadly game. To save her - and the passion that burns between them- Dominic must offer.... A WHISPER OF ETERNITY.Okay, i told you whats on the back of the book, now i'll tell you what i think,i liked the book well enogh but it didn't grip me as her other vampire novels,the hero loved this woman for centuries and everytime they meet again, she dies before he can bring her across. I wanted to shout at this woman to get a clue,i just didn't feel the love and their was just not enough chemistry between them. its a good read but its just not up to par with her other novels, where you can feel the story come alive.
Rating: Summary: Trash Review: I gave this book one star because there is not an option for zero stars. Actually, this one would go into the negatives for me. The only thing that forced me to finish it was the fact that it was SO bad, it was funny. From the synopsis on the back of the book, you'd think there'd be a plot. Sorry. No plot. The characters are characatures at best. No one is interesting or believable. The book seemed an excuse for the author to talk about how much she loves "The Phantom of the Opera" musical and Caesars Palace in Vegas. The epilogue is a one and a half page wrap-up that lets you know everyone lived happily ever after. I wouldn't recommend this one to anybody. I can't believe it was actually published. I feel like writing to the author and the publisher to ask for my $6.50 back.

Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I was disappointed in the book. The plot was predictable and sometimes unbelieveable. Throughtout the book the main characterter resisted being turned into a vampire and yet she wasn't angry when it happened to her or her friend. This book could have been a lot better.
Rating: Summary: Not up to par Review: I've read and enjoyed other works by Amanda Ashley and found this one lacked the intensity of the others. I thought it was rather silly and boring, without any of the darkness or edge that has made some of her other works more interesting. There are too many past lives thrown in and not fully developed. The love between the hero and heroine in the present doesn't seem real, relying too much on snippets of past lives. The storyline with the younger man seemed out of place; it didn't seem to go anywhere and was unsatisfactorily resolved in my opinion.
Rating: Summary: Keep moving don't even bother Review: If I could put less than one star I would have. This was a true waste of time and money. I should have taken the advice and not picked this book up. Believe me you will regret getting this book.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: Landscape and seascape artist Tracy Warner is not sure why she felt obsessed to buy Nightingale House overlooking the Pacific near Sea Cliff, California. However, she does purchase the old home that has been empty for five years. However, she is unaware that another house resides underneath hers. That abode belongs to two millennium year old vampire Dominic St. John who is shocked to realize that the woman above is his soul mate. He prays that this time she accepts his gift of eternity together because for the first time she has come to him. As Dominic and Tracy start seeing each other, she finds herself attracted and repelled by him. However, she also sees another person, full blooded human Bryon Longstreet. Dominic is jealous and Kitana, the woman who converted him all those centuries ago, has come to claim him as she once did. Kitana will do anything to have him including killing the current reincarnation of his soul mate. A WHISPER OF ETERNITY combines a reincarnation tale with a vampire romance that fans will enjoy due to a strong lead couple and a fine supporting duo. Though at times Dominic's dominant alpha personality (what do you expect of a vampire - sensitivity?) becomes overbearing, paranormal readers will appreciate the heroine's ability to keep him in line and his need to risk all to keep her safe.

Rating: Summary: Don't bother Review: This was the first of this author's books I've read. I don't think I'll bother with any others. The characters were not deep enough and the editing was terrible. There were so many inconsistencies and flaws I wonder if an editor ever really read it. If I didn't know better I would have though that this was written by some first-time writer, not an established author. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.
