One Immortal by Tia Louise
Review done by Cassandra for Cassandra’s Reviews
I received an ARC for an honest review.
The description of the book caught my attention and that is
why I read this. I give this book 5 stars.
The book pulls you in from the streets of bourbon in good
old Lousianna. I would love to be there now and just walk on Bourbon St,
meet a handsome man and try to charm
him, that wouldn’t work for me but I can dream.
We meet Derek and Melissa in a bar on Bourbon street. Melissa
is a vampire and Derek is a hunter. Bad combo meeting but Derek is inpervious
to the vampire charms. He knows what is going on and he never falls for it.
Derek is an ex-marine and now works in for Alexander-Knight,
LLC and he is great at what he does plus handsome looks too.
Melissa is trying to find a cure and stay away from her
cruel maker. When she meets Derek, there chemistry is off the charts and they
get in a sexual relationship. One where Melissa hides her secret.
I don’t like when secrets are kept from me but I can see why
Melissa didn’t tell Derek and I can feel her emotions from reading this book.
She is scared and Derek is a distraction for her which is good but then her
master may find out and put Derek in harms way.
After the shifters that Derek works with in the paranormal
justice system, Derek is willing to give his life for her mortality. That is
some deep love and I wonder if the maker of Melissa will take his or make him
into a vampire instead.
I recommend you get this book and read it, you will not be
ablt to stop reading and will fall in love with Derek and Melissa.

ONE IMMORTAL
(A paranormal retelling of the Derek & Melissa story)

Melissa
Derek clears his throat, and glances
down. “You told them?”
“Told us what?” Patrick looks up
from where he and Elaine are sharing a private tête-à-tête consisting of smiles and soft laughter.
“My friend got a little hungry last
night.” Elaine gives him a wink, but his expression turns fierce. If my friend
weren’t blocking him, he’d be on his feet grabbing me.
“What the fuck?”
Derek extends a strong arm. “Take it
easy. It doesn’t concern you.”
“Fucking concerns me if you end up
dead and drained.”
“Oh god,” I whisper. “I’m sorry.”
Turning in my seat, I have a straight shot for the door, and I take it.
I’m down the short flight of stairs,
out on the flagstone sidewalk, when Derek catches me, cornering me between a
white stucco column and a curtained window. His large body shields me from the
street traffic.
“Where are you going?” A smile is in
his voice, but I’m on the verge of tears.
“He’s right. I can’t risk your life
like this.”
“It’s my decision, and I want to
help you.”
Holding his arms, I can’t stop a
shiver. “If anything happened to you. If I couldn’t stop—”
“You will. You controlled it last
night. You’ll control it again.”
Shaking my head, my fingers tighten
on his biceps. “You have no idea how hard it is to control.” His nearness, his
breath against my skin sends desire racing to my core. “I can barely control it
now.”
His head lowers, his breath a warm
whisper at my cheek. “What are you feeling right now?”
Lifting my chin, I take a deep
inhale of his masculine scent. My nose just touches his collarbone, following
the line of his neck higher. My insides clench, and I feel his muscles respond
to my nearness, beckoning me on. His pulse is just beneath his skin. A
whispered moan exhales through my lips as they part, allowing me to touch him
with my tongue.
With a hiss, I realize my fangs are
out. I’m on the street, in the middle of a mercifully overcast day, on the edge
of biting him again. My hand flies to cover my mouth, and I see desire burning
in his navy eyes.
“Oh, god, Derek.” I can barely speak
between my changed features and my hand.
He shocks me when he only grins.
“Glad I’m not the only one who can’t hide how attracted I am to you.” A shift
of his hips, and I feel the erection nudging my thigh.
It’s exactly what I needed, because
a little laugh chokes out with my frightened tears. He pulls my face to his
chest while we both attempt to regain control.
“Deep breaths, my love. I’m not
going anywhere, and you’re not going to hurt me.”
