Heart of an Angel Book #5 of Rosalie Lario’s Fallen Warriors SeriesIf you’ve been keeping up with Rosalie’s Fallen Warriors you’ll come to realize her twist to Angel’s.  Your normal beautiful white winged Angel’s aren’t what they appear to be.  They are evil and want to destroy mankind. But growing up you’ve always been told the black winged Angels are the fallen and they’re the evil ones.  A young Abby Rowe finds out otherwise.One evening while Abby was home alone the apartment building her and her mother lived in caught fire.  When Abby heard the commotion outside her door she went to open and realized the handle was too hot to touch and she’d have to find another way out.  She remembered the old rickety fire escape and went for the bedroom window.  Abby managed to climb onto the escape only to have the old iron structure start to pull away from the building.  The next thing Abby knew she was falling she had tumbled over the railing when the fire escape shifted again.  All she could do was scream, knowing she was going to die.  She felt a tight grip around her waist and the feeling of shooting upwards. She held on for dear life keeping her eyes tightly shut and realized she was freaking flying.  Abby then realized she’d been saved by “a freaking Angel”.  When she was safely on solid ground and ventured to open her eyes to the most magnificent male Angel she could have ever imagine, he was the stuff of every teenage girl’s and quite a few teenage boys fantasies.  Instead of long flowing robes he was covered by a pair of faded jeans and his upper body was bare. Then she realized this gorgeous man had black wings and fear went through her.  The Angel could feel her emotions and told her he wouldn’t harm her.  All she could get out of her mouth was f-a- l-l-e-n.  Her Angel’s response was “I see you, like the humans, are too quick to believe what our former brethren have said about us.  When her Angel enlightened her that it’s he or his fallen brethren wanting to destroy mankind, but the Angels and their newly formed Consortium.  Abby wanted to know how he even spotted her and his short answer was he sensed her.  She was a nephilim.  When she asked what that meant her Angel seemed to be distracted and told her he had to go. When he closed the distance between the two of them and reached out a hand and touched her jaw lifting her face to ask one last time if she was okay. As he started to leave Abby yelled wait at least let me know your name, and he told her Nate.The story picks up to present day (12 years later) with Nate and Jason keeping watch over the Tribunal Headquarters.  They had an entire underground secret location in the city so they could keep tabs as to what was going on.  Jason phoned Nate to check in and update and he wanted Nate to meet him at the waterfront part.  Nate arrived before Jason and could do nothing but wait.  Then he spotted his friend carrying someone, causing a shiver of excitement, a tremor of discovery and longing.  Nate could not comprehend these feelings.  As soon as Jason put her down Nate noticed she seemed happy to see him but couldn’t remember meeting her.  With shock of recognition Nate remembered this was the child he saved from the fire.  The sensation of recognition flowed between them and Nate asked her “Why are you here.” “What do you want from me?’  Summoning all her courage, Abby waited 12 long years for his return and now she had found him and her response was “I’m here because you are my mate.”The read takes you through the emotion turmoil Nate puts himself through over his dead mate.  Abby knew 12 years ago that Nate was her heart, her Angel, her Mate. She was bound and determined she would break through Nate’s barriers until he saw they were meant for each other. When the tension between them became too much he gave into his feelings and Abby gave him the most precious gift of all.  “Her innocence.” But Nate would not tell her his true feelings he was still warring with himself over the death of his mate.  When a trap was set for the Fallen, and Michael, Nate, Seth and Ethan were captured what happens next will almost put you in tears.  What happens after they are rescued and Nate is frantic to find Abby will devastate you.  Rosalie you did it again.  I love this series and absolutely cannot wait for Angel’s Redemption coming fall 2014.
