First book in a new series, and a new author for me to read.
Claire isn’t your usual angel, as a guardian, she’s suppose to be serious and focused. I’d say Claire was more feisty, opinionated and fun loving than that. Her role is to guide and keep “humans” on the correct path. She’s never failed…..
But if the higher powers have their way, it’s going to be Claire’s last job, she’s being reassigned to teaching other angels to be guardians, and she’s not happy about that, not in the least!!
Daniel is an artist, a beautiful soul, destined to do great things.
He’s had enough of life, he tries to commit suicide after losing the love of his life. He never expected to become a pawn in the never ending battle between good and evil.
She’s suppose to remain unseen. But all that changes when she sees Daniel trying time end his life. She’s only suppose to guide him in his dreams, but there is something not quite right about this job!!
Josh dark angel (bad guy) his role is to turn his charges to the dark side, he’s never lost one to the light. Losing Daniel is not an option, but watching the angel with Daniel gives josh an idea…..
Josh now has a new goal, to turn Claire. He uses the new love that is growing between Daniel and Claire. He whispers, he plots.
Fighting their feelings for one another proves challenging for both Claire and Daniel. It doesn’t help when Josh offers Claire a way for them to be together. To good to be true? With a fallen angel, I’d say it’s more than likely!
Loved the premise of this one, and as it’s a series, I’m hoping we get more of Josh.
Beautifully written, characters are well thought out.
The twist and turns in this book had me gripped right up until the end.
Scenes set in both heaven/underworld and earth put you there.
The angst, the anger and passion are expressed with great care.
The fight between light and dark is ongoing, the battle for Daniels soul is the prize.
Claire as an angel is suppose to be focused, we see that side of her, we also get to witness her transformation, the love she fights for Daniel.
Daniel is complex, he’s an artist, so you expect them to be a tormented soul, you don’t expect them to try to commit suicide. His love for painting was overtaken by his love for Audray, all consuming, his passion for her was vibrant and exciting. He never thought he’d find her in the arms of another! He’s never going to paint again!
I felt his pain, his anger and then his sorrow at losing her. Life wasn’t worth living. Then his love for Claire slowly growing, it’s not the same as his love for Claire, but to me the loves between Audray and Claire is totally opposite, the slow burn will last longer than the flash fire Audray and Daniel had.
I couldn’t put this book down, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Highly recommend this one.
I love me some complicated angels. This book (the whole series, really) does not disappoint! The romance and the unpredictable plot twists make this a page turner from the start.
More involved than the normal romance with a unique perspective
Well developed characters and the story was unpredictable. I loved this book!
Easy to read with lots of steamy sex scenes. I didn’t completely understand the instant emotional connection between them considering they didn’t really get to know each other. It feels mostly like a lust connection.
