Immortally Yours: A Southern Gothic MM Vampire Romance (Damned To Love Duet Book 1)
by Billie James
About this book
Set against the humid, atmospheric backdrop of 19th-century New Orleans, this Southern Gothic MM vampire romance weaves a haunting tale of forbidden devotion. Warren Hayes is a man burdened by the weight of his own existence, a creature cursed to wander the shadows for eternity. His internal conflict is palpable as he wrestles with the morality of his condition and the fear that loving another soul only seals their shared damnation.
When he crosses paths with Levette Fortier, the trajectory of his lonely immortality shifts forever. Levette is a man who refuses to fear the darkness, viewing his connection to Warren as a prize rather than a tragedy. While Warren fears the divine consequences of their bond, Levette is willing to sacrifice everything, including the promise of salvation, to remain by his side.
This slow-burn romance is perfect for those who crave deep, soulful storytelling that lingers long after the final page. As a unique take on the turned-newborn trope, the narrative masterfully captures the tension of an era where their love was a dangerous defiance of society. If you are searching for a paranormal romance that feels both timeless and visceral, this immersive journey into the night is your next obsession.

Thankfully, we meet the charming, alluring and willfully seductive vampire, Levette or Levy as Warren calls...

Think Interview with the Vampire but way angstier, way sexier, a whole lot more heartbreaking, and hella entertaining in that blood lust kind of way and you get this gem, which has just skyrocketed itself to the top of my favorite vampire reads list! It’s got grit, it’s got bite, it hurts, it’s love and hate and loathing and longing, it’s a whole dang saga of sin and breaking and crashing against each other and it has you completely entranced the entire way through. It’s got the characters,...

The letters added even more emotion to the story, and I liked how much focus there was on love, guilt, faith, obsession, and the struggles between them over the years. The story also...
