Peter made his choice to leave his human life behind and rule the coven by Lucien’s side. Months later he’s still waiting to be turned, but something is changing within Peter and it’s nearly ripping him apart. Their love is still strong, and nothing has been lost in their physical relationship, but trying to convince Lucien that the time is now before it’s too late is proving to be a difficult task. When Lucien disappears it will take all of Peter’s love, as well as the faith of those they hold dear to find him and bring him home before his death becomes a true death.

Lucien loves Peter to distraction and he wants more than anything to keep him by his side until the end of their days, but he’s holding back. With outside forces working against them, and jealousy from within the coven threatening to tear apart everything they’ve built together, only their love and strength will see them through.

Soul Mates: Deceptions is fast moving and full of adventure. This is the second book in the Soul Mates series and it’s easily as riveting as the first. The relationship between Peter and Lucien is powerful and loving as they deal with forces that could tear them apart, but ultimately bring them closer together. Jourdan Lane has developed a cast of fabulous characters that capture the reader’s attention from page one and leave them thirsting for more of this thoroughly detailed world.

Janet agrees to be a test subject as a Dreamer in virtual reality. The Zodiac has certain fail-safes built in, but Janet has somehow managed to bypass everything that should prevent the system shutdowns while she’s in that dream-state. They’ve gone over the printouts and the embarrassingly detailed accounts Janet relays after each failed attempt, but nothing seems out of place. It appears that Janet’s virtual experience and the climax she reaches as a Dreamer are just too much for the Zodiac to handle.

Dr. Archer Tate has decided that Janet herself has devised a way to sabotage his project’s success, and nothing short of him being a part of her future tests will do. The team’s psychiatrist, Liam, argues that he’d be a better choice because he cares for Janet. When the three of them agree to Dream together Janet’s goal is to prove she’s not doing anything out of the ordinary, but unlike her the men seem to have their own agendas.

Dreams Eclipsed is a deliciously hot read from the dark opening chapter to its climactic end. When Janet reveals her personal dreams and leaves the majority of the Zodiac team panting for more the temperatures rise to sizzling. Ms. Stone once again shares a piece of her fertile imagination in this sexy futuristic tale. A well crafted slice of erotic fantasy.
