“…Gracie McKeever’s full length novel, Eternal Designs, falls into a myriad of romance categories: paranormal, reincarnation, interracial as well as suspense. The plot takes many twists and turns when nearly everyone in this
character-packed story is considered, at one time or another, a potential murder suspect. Throughout the who-done-it plot line runs a parallel one of whether Gale (in Laurent’s body) can make the mistrustful Zoelle fall in love again. I especially loved the fumbling, yet tender way these two try to find their way back to each other. Although this story doesn’t contain much sex given its 312 page length, the 4 or 5 intimate scenes between Zoelle and Gale/Laurent are plenty hot, yet somehow sweet. Gale (as Laurent) is a great character, thrust unexpectedly into someone else’s body and given the chance
of a lifetime to love Zoelle if only she would take him back, since she thinks he’s really her domineering husband Laurent. Zoelle is hard as nails but really as soft as a marshmallow inside. Her teenage son, Wynton, is a pivotal character and gives Gale/Laurent a hard time throughout the entire story, playing true to type as the suspicious and surly stepson. Eternal Designs works well as a suspense story and kept me hanging until the very end as to the identity of the real murder suspect.” 4 Stars/Sizzling, Anna Mae Garland
