This is the first book in the Arcane Angels<\/i> series, and it\u2019s a great read! An intriguing and imaginative romantasy with action, drama and a sexy, intense romance, I really enjoyed this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A guardian’s duty is to protect their charge. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is a holy bond, unbreakable outside of death.<\/span><\/p>\n You must never leave their side. You must never show emotion. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You must never cross a line.\u00a0You must never fall in love. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 stars<\/b><\/p>\n As a long-time R.K. Lilley fan, I was beyond excited when I learnt that she was publishing a romantic fantasy story. This is the first book in the Arcane Angels<\/i> series, and it\u2019s a great read! Intriguing and imaginative, with action, drama and a sexy, intense romance, I really enjoyed this one.<\/p>\n Set in a world where magic and angels exist, Venefica is one of the special few who have been honored with a guardian angel. It means she has a divine purpose, though she has no clue what it might be. Battle was born to protect her, and he serves her with unwavering devotion and pride.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re not capable of taking advantage of me. The nature of our bond prevents it. I exist to serve.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This book is written entirely from Venefica\u2019s POV, introducing us to the characters and their world, while setting the scene for the deeper story to come. It\u2019s a quick read that moves at a great pace, and I enjoyed the world building, the fantasy elements, the family drama and social dynamics in play.<\/p>\n The true focus of the book is the relationship between Venefica and her angel. There is attraction there, but there are rules, and neither of them have ever thought to cross the line. Until they do. It\u2019s a bit of a twisty road to get there, but their coming together is hot and super steamy, and emotionally intense for both of them.<\/p>\n \u201cYou are the one. It\u2019s a feeling deep in my gut. An undeniable compulsion. I saw you and I knew it was you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The story builds really well, finishing on a seriously nasty cliffhanger that has me so curious where the series will go from here.<\/p>\n This is a great series starter, I\u2019m completely hooked, and can\u2019t wait to continue on with the story.<\/p>\n \u201cThe world can only hurt us. But when we\u2019re together, all alone like this, life is perfect.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 4 stars.<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wings of Dusk (#1) More books to com…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Connect with R.K.<\/strong><\/p>\n Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Goodreads\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Amazon\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Facebook\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Facebook Group<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Instagram\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Twitter\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Bookbub<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Pinterest\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Newsletter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wings of Dusk by R.K.
