When Jareth was killed Fate intervened in the form of Jessica Belstowe who pulled his soul back in time to 1657, to the very day when Jareth’s brother and his lover were killed and he became a vampire.  In order to protect him from Morena, Jessica bound Jareth to her, he is now her shelmir.  She has given him a second chance at life.  The bond is not what Jareth would have chosen and he is far from pleased.  She now wonders if she has made a terrible mistake and risked her own heart to be cruelly broken.  But the bond will not be denied and when Morena seeds to break the bond through burning Jessica alive, will Jareth risk the flame to save her?   

This reviewer is so pleased to see this sequel to Hearts Eternal.  The redemption of Jareth is a beautiful story told with compassion and feeling.  Rebecca Goings gives her readers characters they can care for.  Jessica is a woman in love and only thinks to save the man who she cares deeply for.  At first, this reviewer wanted to slap Jareth, but having read Hearts Eternal and knowing where he comes from, his reaction is natural.  Ms. Goings gives her readers a great plot, with a truly villainous vampire witch for a villain and exciting twists and turns.  The sexual tension is high and the love scenes are sensual and romantic.  This reviewer can highly recommend both books for a complete and satisfying read.
