I had been wanting to read Archangel and when I saw the set, I figured get two for the price of one. Was not disappointed.I'll start first with Archangel. Love the story. Emberly is a refined graceful woman who is first in protecting her children and will endure all adversity to keep them safe. Gart is the hero who turns up in her life after many years.  Finds himself needing to protect his best friend sister. The path that should have been so many years ago for her, is finally presented to her when Gart appears and against all odds is willing to take that path with her.  Gart is faced with many obstacles as he confronts them head on in order to protect Emberly and her children. Despite all the struggles he vows to make them part of him.Rise of the Defender...Chris and Dustin's story.Chris is King Richard's champion who returns from the holy land to take claim to his new home and a wife. Dustin is the wife given to Chris. She is young and a beauty in all eyes. They fight their feelings for one another as they are both head strong. Dustin is the first to show her feelings as where Chris is pushed by circumstances to reveal his feelings. One of those circumstances is his good friend Marcus.Chris is everything you want in a man of honor, a true knight. Dustin  is naive and very young that she is oblivious to the predicaments she puts Chris in.  I would of liked her to be more deserving of Chris. I love how the other characters are so evolved in this story.Marcus should of had his own story. His infatuation for Dustin should of been only that and nothing more. He is deserving of his own love and not second to none. This is where thefive star rating fell short.There is so much that happens in this story. The history and the characters bring this to life.  It is long but when you come to the end you wish for more.
