Olivia thinks it’s her lucky night when a dangerously handsome unconscious fae ends up on her inspection table. He’s her chance to redeem herself with her employer, the demon-hunting organisation, Archangel. But when the tall, dark and deadly immortal warrior awakes, she gets much more than she bargained for…

Attacked by his enemy in the elf kingdom, the last thing Prince Loren expects when he comes around is a beautiful angel watching over him and medical technology of the mortal realm. Hazy from his injuries, all he can focus on is the pulse ticking in her throat and the sweet allure of her blood.

One single bite reveals she is his eternal mate, triggering a bond between them that will leave him weakened until it is complete… or broken, and pulling Olivia into the crossfire of his ancient feud.

To protect his people and his mate from the machinations of a madman, Loren must risk everything by working with Olivia at Archangel to find a way to break the bond blossoming between them.

But will Loren be strong enough to place duty before desire and give up the one thing he has waited millennia for and craves above all others—his eternal mate? And will Olivia be able to resist the incredible heat that burns between them and the temptation of her dark prince’s kiss?


I haven’t read a good Paranormal Romance story in a long time and this book was a great reintroduction to this genre for me. I’m extremely hooked on this series! You have soul mates, demons, elves, hot men, sexy women, teleporting, action, erotica, and much more. Sounds like your kind of read, huh? Well, I was very much engulfed into this story taking on the feelings of each character and their struggles. I loved the passion between Loren and Olivia and their friends loyalty in Sable and Bleu. This was definitely a book I made a lot of commentary on...NO…What’s wrong with you...Oh no she didn’t...Awww! Good thing I was alone most of the time, lol.

The chemistry between Loren and Olivia is explosive. Their animalistic need to claim each other from any potential mates, because of this bond, is a bit nerve wrecking. You can imagine the anger and violence this sort of need would cause and believe me, Loren definitely did some damage to anyone who even glanced at his beautiful ki’ara (fated mate). Loren is a tall, dark, handsome, muscular Elf Prince with the most luring purple eyes *fans self* and he doesn’t wear anything under his armor. *wink* Olivia is a sassy, smart, sexy, scientist having rich brown eyes and wavy chestnut hair who seems to catch the attention of the demon kind of men. Olivia’s latest demon relationship caused an unknown breach to her science facility (Archangel) where many were killed leaving her badly injured, heart broken, and a feeling of shame and guilt. How could she trust or love another? *sigh*

So what is my over all decision about this book? I absolutely loved it! It fed my need for Paranormal Romance and really made me excited to read the second book in this series. I was hooked from the beginning starting off with a little action and mystery which only sucked me in further. Now hungry to know more, I devoured page after page lingering a bit longer on the erotic scenes. Don’t judge me! Haha. By the end, I was shaking my leg nervous to see what will happen to the characters I’ve become so attached to. Wouldn’t you like to know? *evil cackle* Heck, I’m interested in reading more of Miss Felicity’s other series as well if this is what I am to expect. This Paranormal Romance has great characters, smokin’ hot erotica, great imagery, and a story that will linger making you want more. Felicity Heaton has the next book in this Eternal Mates series “Claimed by a Demon King” coming out sometime in 2014. *Squeeee* I can not wait! 
What’s next in the Eternal Mates paranormal romance series?

It’s great to be here at Book Soul Mates today as part of the Kissed by a Dark Prince Book Tour celebrating the release of the first book in my new Eternal Mates series of paranormal romance novels.

Today, I’m going to talk about what’s next in the series.

But before we get to the main event, I want to introduce myself. I’m a British paranormal romance author and a USA Today best-seller. I have been writing since 2005, and went indie in 2006. I love to write big worlds, populated by vampires, shifters, demons, fae and angels, and I have several series. This tour is about the Eternal Mates series, which is actually a spin-off from my Vampire Erotic Theatre series. That series focused on a family of vampires at one theatre in London but it had glimpses into the wider world outside the theatre. It’s that world of fae, dark elves, demons, witches, shifters, and other incredible species that the Eternal Mates focuses on.

So what’s next in the series? What do you all have to look forward to as we venture deeper into this world?

The next book is Claimed by a Demon King and takes us down into the depths of Hell to the Third Realm and King Thorne’s war against the Fifth Realm. Things are heating up down there, with the Fifth King constantly pushing Thorne’s forces to their limit and weakening his numbers. Of course, things will be heating up for another reason when Prince Loren leads his legion of elves to Thorne’s aid and Sable leads her band of mortal hunters from Archangel with him.

Elves and humans aren’t the only ones assisting King Thorne with his war though. The vampires are sending their First Legion of the Preux Chevaliers, led by their fearless commander, Lord Van der Garde, and the werewolves are up for a scrap too, but it remains to be seen whether that’s with Thorne’s enemy or with the vampires in his own castle.

Expect plenty of passion in this one as Thorne fights for his kingdom and his mate, determined to claim the fiery huntress Sable and have her as his forever. He’s not alone in his quest for Sable’s attention though. Thorne has competition in the form of the elf commander, Bleu, and the male isn’t about to just roll over and let the king have his way.

You’ll also get to meet more future heroes and heroines, and new species, such as dragon shifters and bear shifters!

After Claimed by a Demon King, we’re taking a walk on the wild side with one very broken elf prince and a sorceress with a serious problem on her hands. It’s a book that I cannot wait to write and one I know a few readers are already excited about and eagerly anticipating.

Claimed by a Demon King is due for release on February 22nd 2014, and if things go according to schedule, you can expect the third book in the series to follow it on November 29th.
