Immortal FlameThe end is here and the only one who can stop it is lost.I never wanted to share Gwen, not with anyone, and definitely not with Lancelot. But now that he’s gone and the truth about my past has been revealed, everything is different. I used to be a king. I lived my life shrouded by a lie. Afraid to take the love I desperately wanted—love from my queen as well as my knight. That fear … as well as my knight. That fear is the reason I lost both of them. This is my second chance to be the man Gwen needs, to take up Excalibur and stop the apocalypse, and to finally accept who I truly am.
I am Arthur Pendragon, at least, I was. In our past I broke both Gwen and Lancelot. But this time, I’ll be the hero they each deserve.

I really enjoyed this story. The author’s twist on the story made it so much more interesting. I highly recommend this one!
Immortal Flame is book two of The Excalibur Duet and was so worth the wait. I love Gwen, Lance and Brooks and how their love for each other transcends centuries. This trio’s journey is full of magic, witches, angels and demons. This action packed adventure story is a great read and I look forward to reading the next fantastic book by this amazing author.
This was an awesome sequel. There were some surprising twists and lots action. My heart broke toward the end for Guinevere, Lancelot and Arthur. The love the trio have for each other could easily be felt. As they were faced with one of the most difficult decisions to make. Would they willing sacrifice one to save those they love and the world.
I look forward to reading more by this author.
Kim Loraine is a new paranormal author for me and I have fallen in love. She has a way to bring the paranormal world and some of my favorite myths/legends. Siren Coven is love, lust, good, and evil all wrapped into one. This is the conclusion to Gwen’s story and it does a great job with that. Gwen loves both Lance and Brookes and in her debate she almost loses both. Does their love survive? Can they work together? Can they work through what is normal and what is not? Love this journey.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. The second book in the Excalibur Duet series is a book that kept me turning pages I had to know what was going to happen. I am glad they got their happy ending.
This was a great finish to book 1. It was full of action, adventure, magic, angels, demons and witches. Can Lancelot, Gwen and Arthur oops Brooks get their HEA finally??? Read and find out!
There’s a reason Kim Loraine is my paranormal romance queen. The myths, and fables and fairy tales and history she intertwines to create these indescribable worlds – worlds where you never know what’s happening because it’s just so unpredictable … I’m in awe every damn time. And with The Excalibur duet she combines two of my biggest weaknesses in romance: her brand of paranormal combined with a delicious and smexy and explosive ménage with characters from my absolute favorite myth … really, this bookworm couldn’t be happier.
Writing ménage a trois is a tricky thing – because for it to be something more than a dirty, filthy room between the sheets, the story and the growth of the characters has to be executed and written a certain way, otherwise it might not be believable. Because usually, three people is one too many for a functioning, healthy relationship where no one feels left out – intended or not. If the emotional bond between the characters isn’t strong enough, the romance part of the story will be lost – well, in my opinion. And knowing this was the first ménage by Ms. Loraine, she did a masterful job with this one! But not only this part was everything I hoped for and more …
…so was the magical, mystical part of the storyline. To be thrown again into the world of the Siren Coven – a world where (fallen) angels, witches and shifters exist. Where a love story not only between a witch and her king and her respective men unfolds, but between her two men – her knight and her king – as well. All this in the midst of a magical world full of good and pure evil … it’s combustible on so many levels!
I loved how Gwen did some serious soul-searching with the feeling she had that she had to choose. That what her heart and instinct wanted just wasn’t possible. She almost loses everything in the process before she realizes she hasn’t conform to what society deems normal and acceptable… It’s a long road to travel, the journey not an easy one, but the result just might be worth it…
I cannot wait for whatever paranormal she brings us next!
Such an amazing follow up story! I love that Kim is able to take something in a direction like this. Absolutely beyond anything what I had expected for the sequel but I still loved it so much. All three characters showed development and I fell in love with all three of them. There were a lot of crazy scenes that had my adrenaline pumping and I am now suffering a book hangover.
I’m not even sure I have the words to say how absolutely awesome the Excalibur Duet is.
Gwen, Lance and Brooks’ story follows along with The Fallen Angel Trilogy and then The Siren Coven series. Stop what you’re doing and go get those books. Start reading immediately!
Now, the Excalibur Duet is obviously involves the love between two men and a woman. That’s not necessarily a genre I actively seek out but I have to tell you that Kim Loraine knows how to keep it amazing. She’ll have you rooting for this trio.
Go. Read. Fall in love.
5 stars!
This is a review of The Excalibur Duet in its entirety.
Kim Loraine is a new to me author and when I first read her short story, On a Cold Winter’s Night in the Such Violent Delights Anthology, I knew I had to read more of her… so I started looking at her other books and the blurb for the Excalibur Duet caught my eye immediately because I LOVE re-tellings of Camelot and the love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guinevere and Lancelot.
The author put her own little paranormal twist on this timeless classic and packed it full of angst, action, passion and forbidden love. She took a tragic tale and turned it into one with a happy ending while adding witches, angels, demons and shifters to the mix.
Gwen, Brooks and Lance (who were also Queen Guinevere, King Arthur and Lancelot in their previous lives) are reborn and thrown back into each other’s lives to stop the apocalypse. The last time they were all together, it ended in tragedy and betrayal. They were caught in a love affair and couldn’t act on their feelings for one another out of fear because of a disapproving society… but this time, they have so much more to overcome and the fate of humanity lying in their hands. When the trio is reunited again and they move past their feelings of jealousy, hurt and betrayal and they finally cave and fall into bed together…it’s fucking explosive, passionate and set fire to my kindle screen.
“I want more than both of us loving her. I want the three of us to love each other.”
I highly enjoyed this entire duet, even though in the beginning of Wicked Temptation I felt a bit lost and confused on what was going on because I didn’t realize that this duet is actually part of the Siren Coven series… but the Excalibur Duet CAN be read as a standalone. Once I got further into the first book, it became clearer what was going on and I was able to understand everything that had happened previously that led up to the point where Wicked Temptation starts. I will, however, definitely be going back to read the first two books in the Siren Coven series because I really liked all the characters that showed up in this duet and need to know their stories as well.
I loved Kim Loraine’s writing style. She flawlessly weaved her own spin on this classic tale and layered the plot with the perfect amount of angst, thrills and heat that had me thoroughly invested in these characters and consumed from beginning to end. And I’m excited that Gabriel and Ruby will be getting their own book next! Those are the characters from the short story in the anthology I read where I first found this author and I absolutely fell in love with those two. I’m anxious to see how their book will play out because the way their short story ended was tragic and things didn’t look too good for them at the end of this duet.
Overall, I definitely recommend this duet for any Camelot fans out there or just any PNR fans in general because this duet has a bit of all the paranormal elements thrown into it, and this author has some awesome storytelling skills.
Wicked Temptation Rating: 4 Stars
Immortal Flame Rating: 4.5 Stars
This is the second book in The Excalibur Duet. Wow! This is one of the best MMF Romance I have read. This is a fantastic story, really beautifully written. The storyline is suspenseful, captivating, intriguing and SO sexy! The chemistry between Gwen, Lance and Brooks is like fire. I really loved their story and their happy ending. I miss them already. If you like paranormal romance, and MMF stories, you will love this duet. Bravo! Now, I can’t wait for Gabriel and Ruby’s story! Kylie Stewart and Shane East did an amazing job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Ruby and Gabriel’s story! I highly recommend The Siren Coven Series. I love Kim Loraine’s writing. (review updated with the audiobook version)
This book was everything and so much more. It was a whirlwind of emotion. It has the angst, the heat, and drama. This is a love story interwoven between three people. I was expecting such a great ending and I was not disappointed. There were twist and turns along the way that kept me guessing, kept my emotions jumping. It was the perfect story.
Destiny, soul mates, witches, and angels, oh my! This book packs a punch with the conclusion of the Excalibur Duet. I am loving Kim Loraine’s take on the story of Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot with Brooks, Gwen, and Lance along with all of their special powers, and their very sexy and steamy bedroom scenes! This series is a must read!
This book was everything I was expecting and more. I loved how everything develop, all the twists and turns of events, and how everything turns out, they were things that I wasn’t expecting at all and left me with a serious crisis of anxiety, and dread, some others warm my heart and left me with a huge smile on my face. I was torn between finishing it fast or making pauses to make it last longer because I didn’t wanted it to end.
There was so much heated passion, love, and it was so AMAZING.
” There’s heat and desperate longing behind his kiss, and this time I don’t back away”
Gwen, Lance, and Brooks love story was PERFECT, they were meant to be together from the start and I am more than happy with the HEA they got.
Kim Loraine manages to make every of her books more and more perfect and this and this wasn’t the exception, it was extraordinary from beginning to end.
Now, I’ll wait “patiently” (not really) for Ruby’s and Gabriel’s book, I need to know what’s going to happen with them.
Hot! Hot! Hot! I loved the first book and this was one even better! A little slow just in the beginning and then BAM!!! The hot love story between Gwen, Lance and “Brooks”. I seriously love this book and would highly recommend it!!!
I don’t think there is anything Kim could write that I wouldn’t like. She definitely has a gift with words. I will be honest I didn’t know how I was going to feel about the M/M/F thing. However, I am completely invested in these characters and I had to know how their love story was going to go.
I am happy that I went out of my comfort zone and read this trope. Was it uncomfortable… a little but Kim’s writing surpasses my expectations every time I read her books. She was able to deliver this story flawlessly and I liked it.
These characters… I love them ALL!! I can’t wait to see where the story goes with Gabriel!!
Ending to story begun in. Book one. The story of two men, and woman who loves them both. Mmf is a little awkward for me, not a genre i usually choose, but the writing is wonderful and Interestjng twist to the legend. Adult situations, steamy storyline. Recommended adult.

Immortal Flame is the conclusion to the Excalibur Duet. I really liked it. I loved Gwen, Lance and Brooks. They were perfect for each other! It was a good ending to their story! I can’t wait to read more!
Witches, Shifters, Angels and all sorts of magic was weaved in this story. Gwen, Lance, and Brooks heat up the pages! There’s lots of action and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. My only critique would be that the scene of stopping the apocalypse was so short and quick. Filled with excitement and passion, Immortal Flame will entice you from start to finish. I’m so anxious for Gabriel’s story!
