4 1/2 STARS!
This is my first time reading a Missy Jane story and I was not disappointed! I've been suffering from book hangover and needed this quick, sweet and sexy read to pull me out of my doldrums.
Zerachial is an archangel who has been living on Earth for thousands of years with his brothers to protect humans from demons that escape Hell. Zerach is a wealthy business man and has a reputation for being a playboy. Isadora is his secretary and secretly lusts after him, or so she thinks (he can tell) LOL! Her pure spirit and gentle nature call to Zerach but he refuses to give in to his desires, believing that he is keeping her safe. But after she comes into contact with her old childhood friend Jake, who has been demon tainted, Zerach realizes that he must stay close to Dora to protect her. Especially after she is blackmailed into marriage by Jake to save her godparents business. After saving Dora from an attack by Jake and spending the night to comfort and protect her, Zerach can't help falling in love with Isadora. He knows that he will have to tell her what he is really soon.
Zerach was an absolute sweetheart, so caring and gentle with Dora's fears and insecurities. I loved how he called her "precious" and "baby" all the time. But don't worry, he was still alpha enough when needed. Dora was a smart and spunky heroine. Even though she had horrible scars from a childhood accident which caused her to be insecure about her body she didn't let it consume her and make her wishy washy (which I abhor in heroines).
I really enjoyed the world that this book is set in. Even though Zerachial and his brothers are Archangels they are still allowed to become involved with humans. Yes, they are filled with goodness and will do no harm to humans but they aren't perfect. They cuss, they drink (even though they can't get drunk) and they sleep with human women. I really hope the author continues on with the series because she has definitely set up a story for Rafe and Asta. And Gabriel! OMG I absolutely want to hear more about him!
All in all I thought this was a great read, very heartwarming and yet still had enough sexy times to curl your toes. :)
