“Evermore by Lynn Viehl is the fifth book in the popular Darkyn series. This is the story of Jayr, seneschal to the Darkyn lord Aedan mac Byrne. Nearly 700 years ago, a young Jayr gave her life to save the Scottish warrior dying on a bloody battlefield. In return, she was made Kyn and has served Aedan since that day. Trapped in the body of a young teen, her androgynous looks often leave her mistaken for a boy. That’s okay with Jayr, she is a strong fighter in her own right and well respected among the Darkyn. The only opinion that matters is Aedan’s, the man she has faithfully served and secretly loved for centuries.

Unknown to Jayr, Aedan has decided to leave his jardin and retreat to a life of isolation. The beast within him has become too strong and he is afraid those he loves most will be harmed. He decides to hold a tournament to find a new master for Jayr and the jardin. As the Kyn compete to be the new lord of the realm, secret passions and old grudges are unearthed. One of the competitors will stop at nothing until revenge is satisfied.
”“This book as well was one of my favorites! You will fall in love with Jayr and Byrne as they go through the motions of master and servant while secretly pining for each other. The character Robin also consequently gets tied in and you start to wonder, will this be another Thierry, Jema and Jaus triangle? Surely Jayr would pick her master over Robin. Or is Robin more important than he appears. As conspiracy's rise and the tensions grows ever more you learn much more than you could have ever imagined!...I love this series!

P.S...I really hope you have been paying attention to Jonathon. You should have started watching him sense book one. He is my favorite character and justly so!
Enjoy! ”
“In general I would recommend reading this series in order but I think you could read this book out of order. Great book full of not your average blood-suckers, longing, knight tournaments, Robin Hood minus his merry men(Thank God!), sex, imposters, and a whole lotta love.”

“So when Sheridan and Lola got a call from Thin Pale Scary Lady who works at the bookshop near the RMB offices, telling us a new shipment of books had arrived, we squealed and quickly made haste, tottering over as fast as our Louboutins could carry us. (Sadly, we didn’t manage to find Kresley Cole’s new book, despite our sending positive vibes of energy out to the universe a la The Secret.) So looking over the selection, we picked up some books that we’d heard about, but never tried before. La Lola chose “Evermore” by Lynn Viehl, since I’d always seen her name mentioned at the back of the BDB books. Of course, her name never forms too much of an impression, seeing as how when I reach the end of another BDB book, I am wailing to the high heavens and anxious for my next fix of Black Dagger love.

“I loved this book. Each book gets better and this better. Jayr and Byrne are get as two people who because of rank deny their feelings for each other. There is a twist to the story that doesnt come into play til towards the end. I love how Jayr is a girl not yet a woman, and through gene therapy finally becomes the teenager she was denied when she was turned to Darkyn. Each book also brings Alexandra and Michael back into the storyline. They are such a good pair together. Although I was a little surprised by the Robin Hook, Will Scarlet and Sheriff if Nottingham angle. I love these stories and am glad I picked them up. This series has everything from romance, adventure, sexual tension and a continuous surprise that always leads to the next book. ”

“During a raining night Jayr is attack by a group of thieves who wants to take him down, only for an expensive Rolex watch. But the thieves are shocked when they discover that this young boy isn’t an easy target, because Jayr is not only a woman but also a Darkyn. She can fight like any male Darkyn and she is not alone, her seneschal Byrne and his best friend Robyn are near. Jayr became Darkyn at an early age, during the last battle by Robert she tried to help a wounded man, not knowing that would change her life forever. Turned by this man Aaden mac Byrne, she joins his realm and served him well after centuries and deep in her heart she loves him dearly.

Aadan mac Byrne is the seneschal of the Darkyn in his area and the Lord of the castle, the Realm where fellow Darkyn can come and celebrate some festivals. But Byrne feels he is losing control little by little over his berserker, his beast. So he is ready to step down and let someone else take over before he hurts someone, especially the woman he loves secretly, Jayr.
When Michael, the lead Darkyn of all America and his wife Alexandra make their way to the Realm to choose a new leader, nothing goes as it should be. Before any decision is made, an old enemy of Robin of Locksley shows up and throw some damper over the whole event.
Evermore by Lynn Viehl is the fifth novel in her Darkyn series and a real treasure. Just like the previous books Miss Lynn Viehl knows how to lure me into a world full of danger, conspiracy and great characters from fairytales. What I love most about the books is the real connection between them.
Main characters Jayr and Byrne are strong, determined and a little bit stubborn. They both have strong feelings for the other, but in secret. Byrne is the seneschal of his area, but lately he feels restless and knows he cannot control the beast inside him. The only thing to do is to step down and let another run his realm. Byrne knows he will have to give up Jayr when he steps down. When Jayr hears about Byrne stepping down, she is furious because she doesn’t want another seneschal to serve and with the help of Alexandra she now knows how to seduce the only man she loves and wants.
I really love the fact that in every novel in this Darkyn series, Michael en Alexandra make an appearance. We learn more about the bond between those two and Alexandra’s journey to find a cure for all Darkyns.
Lynn Viehl writes fabulous and treats the readers on a huge doses paranormal that we can value and I’m curious to see what will happens next.
