The Immortals #1-3
The Immortals Collection
The Chains of Love are stronger than the Bonds of Revenge
Long after the gladiators fought in the Coliseum, ancient evils wander the streets of Rome. Only a few heroes have the power to stop them. Among them, a group of friends whose fate and the gods’ whims have united in immortality. Follow Marcus, Alexander, and Samuel as they battle their inner demons and try to save the world and their loved ones at the same time.
The Lost Centurion
The chains of Love are stronger than the bonds of Revenge
The Roman centurion Marcus has sworn to avenge his wife's death—even if it takes an eternity to hunt down the vampire who murdered her.
Turned immortal by a capricious god, for the last two thousand years, Marcus has been living a life devoid of love, consumed by his hatred for the vampire race. Until the night he rescues one of them, a frail newborn vampling, Diana, and she becomes his responsibility.
Tortured by his past and hunted by vampires, Marcus must choose between avenging his dead wife or saving Diana from the same man who ruined his life, only to discover that not everything is what it appears to be.
The Immortal Greek
Alexander Drako: handsome, famous, rich, and on the cover of every tabloid in Europe. He has done it all and seen it all. Born a Greek in the times of the Roman Empire, he was chosen by a capricious goddess as one of her immortal followers. With his surfer good looks and a playboy disposition, Alexander has been living the life every man dreams of, at least for the last two thousand years.
Tall, elegant, and unapproachable, Ravenna Del Sarto is the perfect example of a modern career woman. An enforcer for the Immortal Council, she brings the bad guys of the paranormal world to justice. She doesn’t have time for fun and has zero tolerance for playboys.
During the highly anticipated End of Summer party, a young immortal commits suicide by jumping from Alexander’s balcony and Ravenna is called to investigate the death. Alexander quickly learns that not only Ravenna’s walls are impenetrable to his easy smile, but she is also bringing him up on charges.
Will she detain him?
Or will his legendary charms help him out of this one?
The Broken Angel
Betrayed by the man he loved and stranded on Earth after losing his powers, Samuel is alone and broken. His black angel’s wings maimed and useless, he must go on living despite the searing pain in his heart. Unable to find peace on his own, but trying to restore it among the multitude of races composing the paranormal world, Samuel works at the Immortal Council headquarters in Rome as a liaison between species.
As the only fallen angel on Earth and despised by his former brethren, Samuel doesn’t belong anywhere. The only place where he feels at home is the gym owned by his friend Alexander Drako. Even though among the humans he must hide his true form and appear as a cripple, Samuel cherishes the hours spent in the old gymnasium, sparring away his troubles.
Martina’s life has been transformed from fairy tale to nightmare by her abusive and rich husband. A pro bono lawyer for women in need, she can’t seem to find a way to help herself. Afraid of Martina’s ex-husband’s powerful family, the authorities deny her justice and even her friends and family have deserted her. She is all alone in the world and solely dedicated to her job. Martina’s only break from her dreary reality is when she trains at Drako’s gym. One day, Drako asks her to spar with one of his friends, and she meets Samuel, a defenseless cripple who inspires Martina to protect him from the ugliness of the world.
A friendship blossoms between two broken souls.

A great collection of 3 books that is a bargain if you want to start the series.
The Lost Centurion - 5*
Marcus is made into an immortal by Apollo and after travelling lots is back in Rome to find and kill the vampire who killed his wife. We then read through a series of situations that contain examples of the emotions of revenge, an analysis of what really is the truth as opposed to hearsay and revenge (does it really make you feel good?) I loved the depth of the characters and how they managed all these uncertainties. The romance in the story was well written and enjoyable without being too sweet and cloying. An enjoyable story that was a great introduction to this series.
The Immortal Greek - 4*
Alexander Drako is handsome, famous, rich, Greek-born and one of the Immortals. Ravenna Del Sarto is an enforcer for the Immortal Council, focused on her career and has no time for rich, spoilt playboys. At a party at Alexander's house, a young immortal commits suicide by jumping off a balcony and Ravenna is sent to investigate. Can Alexander get past her walls or will he be charged with the death?
This was a lovely story with a lot of drama, danger and excitement. Well written and very enjoyable it gave a great insight into some of the politics in the world of paranormal residents in Rome.
The Broken Angel - 5*
Samuel was betrayed by a man he loved and was therefore stranged on Earth as a fallen angel with none of his original powers. Instead, he tries to cope with his life and his pain by working for the Immortal Council headquarters in Rome as a liaison between species. Despised for what he is the only place he feels solace is at the gym owned by his friend Alexander Drako sparing away his own pain. Martina is living in a nightmare thanks to her abusive rich ex-husband, but she focuses her mind on her job working as a pro bono lawyer for abused women. The authorities and her ex constantly deny her justice so he gets solace from working our in the same gym as Samuel so when she is asked to spar with one of the owner's friends she is happy to oblige (even though on the face of it he is crippled). A friendship develops between these broken souls and even though they are from two different worlds they will soon have to fight both human and the paranormal worlds for their right to be together.
This was a lovely story which seamlessly merged the problems they were both having in their own worlds together into a story full of drama, danger and passion as they found each other and then fell for each other. It was great to understand how the two worlds couple connect, collide and try to stay unknown even though they were in the same location. It was heartening to read that they had both found happiness after all the pain each of them had experienced. Well written it was very enjoyable and I loved the HEA at the end.
