I really enjoyed this story, but let me say I am not a big reader of paranormal. That said, 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. Gabe and Aurora had 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. Unfortunately, her attempt opens 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 the spark between them is so strong, it is not something she can ignore.

Archangel Gabe has been traveling the universe for many, many years now since he lost his beloved. A lot has happened since. He becomes a mercenary, has an island that is protected and really does not like humans. When he is suddenly thrown on top of Aurora his need to protect her from the Guardians overrides his dislike for humans, and the need to have her in bed is huge. He has never felt this way since he lost his beloved, and Aurora works her way under his skin. They have a real connection.

This story is fast-paced, with a lot going on. It’s such a hot steamy sensual romance and the fight Gabe has to keep Aurora safe as he is drawn closer to her is captivating. I loved Aurora. What a strong, feisty heroine! She never gives up. And Gabe is the 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.
