PNR Review: Immortal Surrender (The Curse of the Templars) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Immortal Surrender" the 2nd book in her Curse of the Templars series by Claire Ashgrove.

Product Description

Farran de Clare, loyal member of the cursed Knights Templar, wants nothing to do with predestined mates. Even the Almighty won’t turn him into a fool again — he’d rather sacrifice his soul. Yet in the scientist Noelle Keane, a devout atheist, Farran meets the seraph designed for him.

Ordered by the archangel Gabriel to protect Noelle, the possessor of a sacred relic that could give Azazel incredible power, Farran swears to do his duty — but in name only. Fighting an attraction that grows with each day, he’s determined that he’ll never pledge himself to her.

As they war over her future, their mutual passion ignites a conflict far more damning. But before Noelle will agree to eternity with him, she demands the ultimate sacrifice — his heart.

My Review:

Farran de Clare is a loyal member of the Knights Templar who are cursed wants nothing to do with any females or predestined mates.  He rather sacrifice his soul before he acts like a fool again.  But when he meets scientist Noelle Keane, he meets the seraph meant for him.

Farran is ordered by the archangel Gabriel to protect Noelle who is in the possession of a sacred item that could give Azazel incredible power.  Farran swears to do his duty but only in name only and he's determined not to pledge his life to her.

Noelle is a scientist who doesn't believe in higher powers and only believes what her mind and her senses tell her.  She won't go through the vows until Farran promises to give all of himself to her.

I thought it was quite amusing the way Farran would act around Noelle and his un-redefined manners.  I really enjoyed how the relationship developed between Farran and Noelle to a deeply trusting and loving one.

4/5

Thanks Tor Books for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
