About this ebook

The Dragons of Eternity were once creatures of mist and legend. Now they’ve returned to the world, prepared to claim what’s rightfully theirs…  

Tayla is desperate for a place to call home. After years on the run, the young imp impulsively buys a teahouse and is determined to build a new life. Unfortunately, she’s barely opened the doors when she’s tracked down by the dragon who purchased her from troll slave-traders. He demands she pay off her debts…in his harem. 

Baine has devoted a quarter of a century to tracking down his beautiful concubine. And now that he has her in his grasp, he’s not about to let her go. But it’s soon apparent that he isn’t the only demon hunting her. He must uncover her secrets or risk losing her forever. 

“Ivy always packs her books with buckets of action, emotion and sexy sizzle. Another winner!” —Romantic Times on Devoured by Darkness 

“The romantic dynamic is smoldering and the seduction focuses on compelling trust, increasing the appeal.” —Publishers Weekly on My Lord Vampire 

Dear Reader 

From the moment I introduced the mysterious dragon, Baine, in Darkness Avenged I knew that I wanted to know more about him. He was cunning, elusive, with a hint of dark secrets in his past. Even better, he was lethally sexy. The perfect hero. My GUARDIANS OF ETERNITY, however, already had a large cast of vampires and Weres and fey creatures. There wasn’t much room for Baine and his equally fascinating friends. Which was why I came up with a new spin-off, THE DRAGONS OF ETERNITY. For those who haven’t read my previous series, this is a perfect place to start. And for those who have enjoyed the Guardians, I can promise there will be a few scenes with your favorite gargoyle, Levet!  

I hope you enjoy Baine’s story!  

Ratings and reviews

Tayla has barely opened the doors on her new home when the very dragon she’s been running from tracks her down and demands she pays off her debts in this splendid paranormal romance. Baine has spent a quarter of a century tracking down his beautiful imp and he’s not about to let her go and the reader can’t help but be enthralled by this romance as Baine works to uncover her secrets before he loses her forever. The relationship is full of fireworks and emotional turmoil as Tayla refuses to be a concubine in a harem and Baine is determined to keep her while the sizzling chemistry between them burns hot enough to scorch dragon scales. Strong captivating characters demand attention while the fast paced, smooth flowing plot thrills readers with lots of suspense, excitement and romance. Adrenaline pumping excitement builds throughout the story as it quickly becomes obvious that Baine isn’t the only demon hunting Tayla including Baine’s father which adds quite a few heated clashes and - well let’s just they really ought to know better than to tick off a dragon. The intriguing events draw the reader in and the well written scenes and details capture the imagination making it easy for the reader to picture each and every scene as it happens with Levet charming readers and adding his own special touch to the story as he sets out to be Tayla’s KISA – knight in shining armor. Combine the Guardians of Eternity world with Dragons and you have one heart pounding world to enjoy and I for one am so glad that there is more to come and of course having the cute French gargoyle around to add his charm to the story just makes it perfect, so I can’t wait to read the next one.

A strange writing style. It started out as a book for eight to ten years olds. It was only later that the adult book became apparent. I can't say that it was a bad book or a good one. It doesn't deserve five stars but certainly 4.

a sensuous romance with a sweet end.full of characters that you don't want to say goodbye to.everything paranormal but focused on the heart of things lol
