Talk about a wild ride!
I came across Redemption on Kindle Unlimited but enjoyed it so much I ended up buying the series.
Redemption is book one in A Realm of Flame and Shadow series.
Gabriel is an Archangel who is haunted by his past and the tragic loss of his Beloved Helena years ago.
After sharing a rare demon drink with a fellow Archangel, Gabe finds himself waking up on Earth tangled up, literally, with a human Aurora.
Aurora is telepathically connected to her mother and can visit the Astral Planes which access parallel worlds. She is searching for a way to help her mother who crossed the planes years ago and is slowly slipping away from her family.
She becomes targeted by the Guardians who patrol the planes, relentlessly pursing anyone who tries enter to them.
I absolutely loved this book. This take on Archangels is intriguing and Gabe is hands down my favorite of the series. I enjoyed the plot twists; Gabe’s struggle to come to terms with the loss of his family and realizing it may be possible to find happiness and his true love again.
I love Aurora’s spunk and how she pushes Gabe to overcome his past.
The book is written so you get to read each of the main characters points of view and I loved the insight into each of them.
Plenty of adventure and steamy romance that will keep you turning the pages as the story unfolds.
A great start to a series series and I highly recommend all three books :0)
I loved Gabe and Aurora, so evenly matched. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
How would you like to be in love with an Archangel. Learn the story of the archangel Gabriel and Aurora as they find out that their love never was lost to begin with. This is a very well written poignant story about love and recognition. The characters are extremely well written. The story is extremely believeable and makes you happy when it’s over but makes you wish for more. A great read!

A page turning action packed adventure. Gabe and Aurora are a steamy couple. A fast moving story with twists and turns. A fall in love with romance. You really adore the characters. I received ARC of this book.
Another wonderful book from Christina Phillips. The lush world building and the feisty characters are to die for.
Amazing world-building and characters who haunt you long after you’ve finished the book. Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed this story, but let me say I am not a big reader of paranormal, but this one hit the spot with a beautiful romance, a fallen archangel who had no time for humans, but found himself saving a beautiful, strong and inquisitive human, Aurora, and did they have a very sensual and dangerous journey to a HEA for eternity.
Aurora has always known that her mother was from a different dimension and that they could communicate with telepathy, her mother is not well and Aurora is doing her best to get back to her mother’s world and try and find some answers but what she does is open up a world of demons and archangels and the very dangerous guardians who are determined to get to Aurora. When she is saved by Gabe an archangel the spark between them is so strong, it is not something she can ignore.
Archangel Gabe has been travelling the universe for many, many years now since he lost his beloved a lot has happened and he becomes a mercenary, has an island that is protected and really does not like humans but when he is suddenly thrown on top of Aurora his need to protect her from the guardians is a must but the need to have her in bed is huge, he has never felt this way since he lost his beloved, she will work her way under his skin there is such a connection.
This story is fast paced, with a lot going on, a search for the truth, such a hot steamy sensual romance and the fight Gabe has to keep Aurora safe as he is drawn closer to her, I loved Aurora what a strong feisty heroine she never gives up and Gabe alpha hero who does a lot to keep his caring and merciful side closed to everyone. There are a lot of revelations that help to bring Gabe and Aurora together in a way that will keep you turning the pages. There is a fabulous cast of characters that add so much to the story and I look forward to reading their stories, thank you MS Phillips.
