Seducing Cecilia (Divinity Healers, #2)

I really enjoy these well written stories by Michelle. This series about worlds from the other side of the portal are intriguing, with strong women and hunky men, the need for love and acceptance are the same worlds over. It is easy to be a part of her stories and become a community member. Feel good, happy stories that leave me wanting the next installment. I have both the ebook and the Audible book. Recommended. Sexual content.

Michelle M Pillow’s imagination knows no bounds and me as a listener am very thankful for that. Not to mention that Rebecca Cook is one of my favorite narrators.

This is the 2nd audiobook in the Divinity Healers trilogy Seducing Cecilia. The timeline for this audiobook is 1/2 to 3/4 into the first audiobook Ariella’s Keeper.

Dr. Cecilia from the New Order Society reality & Dr. Gerard from the “sterilized medical” reality (I have no idea how to spell the reality name. Sorry.) are the stars in this story.

First off, the New Order Society sounds horrible. You need written consent between to people for everything….even before you can do something so simple as giving someone a kiss. I don’t even think you can hold hands. Plus, as children they are tattooed with a number on their foot and microchiped. The microchip isn’t just for location tracking, it tracks Every aspect of their lives, even as adults. The only exception is Cecilia’s assistant during the medical research mission. Her body chemistry shorts out the microchips. As such she breaks the rules/laws multiple times. I won’t tell you which ones so you have to listen to find out but it’s a doozie.

Dr. Gerard is to be the guide for Dr. Cecilia and her assistant but he isn’t too thrilled at the prospect but he knows to be professional. That is until he sees Dr. Cecilia for the first time. He was totally and completely awestruck and his professionalism doesn’t last long. In fact, it only lasts until he gets her alone outside the hospital. He’s a fast mover. Cecilia being where she’s from is so rigid and use to consent forms and “anti-chaos” that she eventually slaps him. She is attracted to him she just doesn’t know about his reality rules & hers are so ingrained in her. That all changes for Cecilia about halfway through the transport ride when she wakes too early. She panics a bit and forces Gerard awake. This causes him to grumble about the remaining 2 hour ride. Really?? Yep, 2 hours. What a grump right? Well, Cecilia does a great job of taking his mind off of the remaining ride. (wink wink). She actually said it must have been his pheromones, hurting his feelings a bit, and wants them to be only professional when they arrive at the research center. When Gerard honors her wishes, her feelings get hurt and she kinda acts like a brat. I literally wanted to smack the back of her head.

Once at the research center, Cecilia is very surprised to find that nature is completely blocked out by walls and a dome. The researchers even wear bio hazard suits when outside the wall to collect specimens from the forest. Talk about overkill. This reality is almost as constricting as the New Order Society reality. Cecilia and her assistant are suppose to be there for 2 months to find a new medical advancement for her reality however, it seems they speak the same language but don’t write the same language. This causes the process to go very slowly to only find out she found the cure for……..(it’s too funny to spoil. Listen to the audiobook to find out.) At the end of the first month we find out that Cecilia hasn’t even left the 3 places in the center she was shown on the 1st day. The place is huge but she just didn’t know if she was allowed to explore and experience her environment. That reality of hers really did a number on her. Fun fact: Cecilia did loosen up around Gerard and in private, they didn’t stay professional very long.
But she still can’t wait to get home back to her regular life.

In enters the “Medical Supreme,” and his mystery illness which is unheard of in the medical reality. Due to this he mandates that the portal be closed indefinitely. The New Order Society anti-chaos mindset are not having that and demands the women return in 2 weeks. This unfortunately turns into a political tug of war with the women and ends up having an effect…..(I won’t say but it does end in a happy tearful twist!)

Oh, and I want a transport so bad. I mean type in coordinates get spritzed with sleeping gas and wake up at your destination. Who wouldn’t want one.

This is a wonderful sequel to Ariella’s Keeper with another interesting reality. This is definitely 10 star worthy. I highly recommend this audiobook so…..you are advised to buy with one click right away.

Chaos and disorder, what could be more wrong. Yet their spontaneity produces unexpected love, something neither one planned on. Then trouble comes and their time together may have run out.

The second installment of the Divinity Healers series is a fast-pace and steamy read. Cecilia comes from another place where they are very strict and contracts must be drawn up prior to dating. Not so much in Gerard’s world. While Cecilia is working she must fight the temptation that come with Gerard and must concentrate on something that would help her planet. It was so much fun reading how they avoid each other but also have that wanting for each other. Steamy scenes, and the plot was great. It’s such a fast read. The narrator did a wonderful job keeping me enthralled.
