For three hundred years, Zach has
suffered under the crushing guilt over his part in the death of his one true
love. Since then he’s hidden himself away, dispensing his forgiveness far from
the human realm and the threat of more heartbreak...until the day that he is
conscripted into war against the angels’ most dangerous enemy…the Grigori.
Every night, Shasa Jefferson dreams
the same scene—a far off island, a gorgeous, magical man, and sizzling passion
that curls her toes. But getting lost in dreams is no way to live a life…until
the day Shasa’s mystery man appears on her doorstep spouting terms she doesn’t
understand and forcing her to confront her deepest fears.
Zach is amazed to find the soul of
his true love in Shasa, but how long can their rekindled passion survive with
the shadow of the Grigori and Zach’s own past transgressions threatening to
tear them apart?
This was probably one of the most unique story lines I've read in a while. It mixed a lot of different elements; angels, humans, and an intense forbidden romance. It was definitely something I didn't expect when I started reading.
I think Lisa Hughey did a great job at painting the perfect picture of an emotional read. Zach is the Angel of Forgiveness yet he can't forgive himself for his past actions. It's a struggle that is so relatable, I couldn't help but feel for him. He was also an incredibly sexy character and embodied the perfect hard exterior but heart of gold personality.
I have to hand it to Lisa Hughey, she was able to pull off the third person writing style flawlessly. I typically have a harder time getting into that style but I never had an issue with this one. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the flashing forward and backwards through different time frames and different worlds. Sometimes, I would lose track and get confused but overall it was an enjoyable read.
USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa
Hughey has been writing romance since the fourth grade, which was also about
the time she began her love affair with spies. Harriet and Nancy Drew and the
Hardy Boys later gave way to James Bond and Lara Croft and Jason Bourne.
Exploring the complex nature of a profession that requires subterfuge and lies
fascinates her. She loves combining her two passions into fiction. As evidenced
by her Black Cipher Files series.
Recently she's been immersed in the
Stone Family novellas, stories about a blended family of brothers and a sister
who have a lot more in common than they realize. But of course she couldn't
just write about family and romance. There are complex plots, bad guys, and
suspense too.
Taking a break from romantic
suspense, Lisa entered the paranormal world of the Angelic Realm. The Seven
deals with forbidden relationships between humans and Archangels. At its heart,
Rafe is a novel about the dynamic of family relationships. As this series
evolves, the core story continues to be about love triumphing in the face of
opposition and heartache. (The really hot Archangels don't hurt.)
