The Immortal's Hunger
ByPublisher Description
It was only a matter of time before Gareth Brennan had to die. Before he made that ultimate sacrifice, the assassin wanted to know warmth once again. His recent experiences had destroyed his ability to create fire, yet sexy bartender Ashley Clement was now igniting one within him.
As a Phoenix, Ashley had limited time herself; soon a male Phoenix would claim her. Unless she could find a lover. Gareth was the perfect man for the job. Except he was no human, and their union might draw even more danger. But to deny their fiery attraction…that was a truly impossible task.

“I have kind of a mixed review for this book:
First, it's presented as a standalone, but I don't feel that it is and I wish I'd know that when I first started to read the book. I had a hard time understanding what the heck was the deal with Gareth. This big event from book 1 was hinted at but never fully explained. The Celtic mythology and world creation was also expected to be known and understood prior to reading the book. After I put this on down and bought book 1, everything made more sense and I was able to enjoy Gareth's morose character.
While I adored Ashley's spirit, again almost nothing was explained about her phoenix background (and this time there were no answers in book one). All you get is that she has to basically have someone be her boy toy for the entire week of her triennial paranormal ovulation cycle or else a male phoenix can appear from god knows where, rape her repeatedly, and if she gets pregnant she gets thrown into his harem. And this is half of the book's premise. (For the record I'd also like to read about a female phoenix that is NOT named Ashley or Ashleigh. This is a species not often written about but every time they are, the characters have the exact same name.)
If you remove all of the paranormal elements and worldbuilding, I did like the dialogue between characters a lot. The book was more exciting towards the end than in the beginning.
My Recommendation: Give it a try if you enjoy Celtic mythology and complex worldbuilding, but you really need to read The Immortal's Redemption first.”
