Archangel's Fire: Paranormal Angel Romance

I can't wait to get to book 3 to find out what is going to happen, a real cliffhanger, I'm realing enjoying this Series and all the characters, it's really great to learn about each one and to follow each ones story, it really changes your mind from book 1, love it. It's so exciting!!!❤️

Aria was still tired as her new mate Cedric, an angel Prince, tried to wake her up. He told her she needed to practice flying now that her wings had come in – but she was afraid of heights! It was a matter of trusting both her own angel and him; she could do this, he assured her! She was concerned, though, that she was nothing like her angel who was impatient and believed that it was okay to kill, and it was okay to be an arrogant angel with a god complex. Philippe’s Master, Josephine, came to talk to him about his gloomy demeanor since Aria left. He tried to blame it on other issues he was dealing with, such as the drug Clarity, business, competition, evil gargoyle scientists and such. But Josephine knew he loved Aria and she may have even been happier with Philippe than with Cedric. But she told him he had found someone who woke him up to life and made his heart feel – but he can’t have her and he needs to go do something useful and stop moping around! Jo suggested he ask Aria if she was now happy and, if so, move on. She didn’t see how life with an angel would be the “normal” life Philippe was trying to give her by staying away. As inevitable tensions rise between the vampires and angels, it looks as if Philippe and Cedric need to work together to stop the distribution of the dangerous drug, Clarity. Can they put aside their antagonism for the good of the populace being affected? And is there any hope that Aria may reconsider her choice of mate? This was an excellent piece of the overall story. The banter between Philippe and his maker, Jo, about his sulking was both full of love and hilariously funny! The author is wonderful with bringing her characters to life (no pun intended) and making them so real to the reader. The emotions are all out there, touching the reader and reminding us of the feelings the characters are experiencing. Very powerful stuff! I definitely recommend this series!

I found this a hard read honestly. The supposed andel Cedric seems to be a masochist. Controlling, narcissistic, and mentally abusive. Not in a way that makes for a good read ether, as the main character Aria seems sheltered and clueless, and falls easily into his manipulation, again, not in a good read kind of way. I doubt I will finish this book, and DO NOT recommend for young/teen readers as it promotes a VERY unhealthy relationship dynamic, that is demeaning to women. I am not a feminist or anything, but this book series has me shook, in a BAD way!
