Summary: Good story, bad editing
Comment: The story line is pretty good, if confusing at times, but the poor editing job done on this book really irks me. I know Thea Devine's writing style is very unique and probably hard to edit, but come on! If I was her I would be absolutely livid at how many mistakes the editors did not pick up on. It takes away from the story and is quite a distraction. Otherwise, this review isn't very helpful for deciding whether or not you'll like the book, it's just a warning to be on guard for numerous typos and a heads up to the editors at Kensington - spend a little more time on the copyediting in the future!

Summary: [$$$] book with 2 cent story - Thea Devine's worst!
Comment: I have previously ready Ms. Devine's books and found them okay. At least they had a coherent story line to go along with the hot sex scenes that are her trademark. This book was a huge disappointment. The story was stupid, the ending was so abrupt and seemingly disconnected from the story all I could think was 'HUH??' Even the 'hero' in this book didn't have clue what was going on and what he was supposed to be looking for while impersonating someone else. The 'heroine' was always in heat for no apparent reason - just the thought of the 'hero' sent her into a frenzy without any explanation why she was so 'in love' with him. ... Look and see how many used copies are for sale of this book. If it was any good, people would be adding it to their keeper shelves and not trying to unload it. I had preordered this book based on my previous experiences with Ms. Devine's books. Next time, I'll wait until after it's published and read reviews and see how many used copies are trying to be unloaded before I drop [$$$] on one of her books again.

Summary: Suspenseful? Yes! Hot? Yes! Cheesy Words? Yes!!!
Comment: If I had one day to spare which I had absolutely NOTHING to do, I'd probably take my copy of The Forever Kiss and count how many times the word 'penis' is used. Or....how many times Dar (Ducas) refers to his mistress' sex as a 'honeypot' or his incessant nipple fetish. I don't even think hardcore porn has the female character saying to the male character "I want your penis....I'll never refuse your penis....I need your penis.....I'm here for your penis......I live for your penis...", well you get it.
However, if you can get past that cheesiness, the story is quite good. Unless you read very carefully, you may get confused at times, since the hero (Dar) is impersonating a supposed dead traitor (Ducas) for whom he looks exactly alike, in order to uncover evidence of Ducas' treachery and treason at his manor.
But.....Ducas really isn't dead - well, he is on the inside, not on the outside. Turns out...he's a vampire and he returns from his 'dead' state to go back to his manor to kill the man (Dar) who's there impersonating him and trying to move in on his woman (Angene - the penis lover).
With Ducas and Dar now in the same house, (although cleverly avoiding each other) Ms. Devine see-saws back and forth between Dar and Ducas' point of view and, because Ducas is a vampire, we have scenes were Dar is pummeling the life out of Angene's 'honeypot' only to be invaded with Ducas' thoughts.
If you can follow along, you'll find this plot very taut and nailbiting and I would have given it higher marks if not for the cheese factor. Ms. Devine should make her heros tone down their nipple obsessions and find other words synonymous with the male appendage just so the reader doesn't develop 'penis' envy!
