Product Description:
Maeve Tremayne must risk everything, including her love for compassionate army doctor Calder Holbrook, to save her fellow vampires and humanity from a tyrannical vampire queen. By the best-selling author of Forever and the Night. Reprint.
Amazon.com Review:
Written more in the vein of Anne Rice's well-known vampire series than the traditional vampire romance (if such a thing exists), this second book in Linda Lael Miller's vampire quartet takes place in a setting inhabited by angels, warlocks, vampires, and mortals, all very literally at each others' throats.
Powerful vampire Maeve Tremayne revels in her immortality. Free to travel at will through time and place, she is restricted only by the rising of the sun. Just and honest, she takes nourishment only from the cruelest members of mortal society, those who are 'truly evil, not just misguided,' except when she eases the journey of the dying by offering them a final moment of ecstasy and release from pain. During one of these missions of mercy to the dying soldiers in a Civil War field hospital, she meets Dr. Calder Holbrook. Calder has heard the tales of a beautiful angel who roams the battlefield and takes the dying to their rest, but he believed she was only a morphine-fueled dream of men in pain until he sees her for himself. Maeve tries to put the mortal doctor out of her mind. Her brother loved a mortal and gave up his immortality for her, condemning himself to an eventual human death; she refuses to follow his example. Her attraction to Calder is too strong, however, and she finds herself drawn back to his time--and eventually into his arms. Unfortunately, complications arise that threaten the growing relationship between Maeve and Calder. Maeve finds herself the reluctant champion of her kind when she is called upon to track down and destroy the mad vampire queen, Lisette, whose depravity threatens to bring down the wrath of the warrior angels on all immortals--vampires and warlocks alike. Maeve must strike an alliance with the enemy warlocks for their mutual protection and garner their help for her battle with Lisette. Her love for Calder makes her vulnerable, however, and in her fear that Lisette might strike at her through him, she makes him a virtual prisoner. Calder, who has demons of his own past to battle, chafes at Maeve's protectiveness, which threatens to drive a wedge between them.
Linda Lael Miller's For All Eternity succeeds as an intriguing story on two levels, both as a sensual, otherworldly romance and as an intense and dramatic battle of wits between two powerful and vastly different creatures of the night.

I can't believe the amazing reviews this book is getting here. I just looked it up on Amazon because a friend of mine wanted to know what the worst romance I ever read was. I read this when I was fifteen, and I didn't exactly have high standards.
This book was AWFUL. The vampire is silly and angsty (to be fair, I'm not fond of the Anne Rice vampire angst, either), and the romance is lame. The whole plot is improbable, and I like weird fantasy/magic/etc. books.

I really enjoyed the mythos created in FOR ALL ETERNITY. Thank goodness Valerian is back! Cheers. Maeve is an awesome character, the romance with Calder and his history was interesting, especially set in the Civil War, but the battle with Lisette and the consequences of the outcome.... WOW. Cool vampire romance. I still favor the Christine Feehan "Dark" series, but I will definitely be reading the subsequent two L.L.Miller vamp novels! I also enjoyed the combined PB issue, SPRINGWATER SEASONS by L.L.Miller.

I'm sorry. After reading Forever and the Night I was looking forward to reading For All Eternity. I really did try, but I couldn't get into it. There was nothing there to keep me interested. I thought the vampire story had some promise, but Calder and Maeve's relationship with him irritated me to the point I put the book down halfway through. No, this one is definitely going in the book exchange pile.

This is the best vampire book ever! The love story that develops between Maeve and Calder pales in contrast to the gripping scope of the deadly struggle between the forces of good and evil. I especially liked the scenes between Nemesis & Maeve--two very strong-willed characters. Ms. Miller has a beautiful way with words and a great imagination!

Friends of Ms. Miller must be writing these reviews because I found nothing to enjoy about this book. I was looking in particular for a good vampire book and could not believe that this level of writing was considered excellent by all of you. I'm beginning to think we need some other way to catagorize this type of writing. I for one did not find the plot enthralling or even interesting because the writing level was too elementary. She gets 2 stars for getting published. That was truly an accomplishment. Sorry, just being honest to those who really want to know.
