There's a gentleness to this story that lingered even during the difficult scenes. It acted almost like an anchor, a reminder that no matter what was coming ahead everything would be okay.I love Zerach. He's a warrior, a guardian, an archangel through and through. But the edge that comes when he goes to battle isn't always there, making his human persona more appealing. His assistant Isadora wouldn't disagree, lol. He's sweet, kind, and caring toward, but jealous, protective, and possessive of her. How Ms. Jane managed to make him all of those things is beyond me but she did a fantastic job of it.For much of this story, there's an air of uncertainty and unease around Isadora. A past accident left some of her body horribly scarred, an issue when it comes to being intimate with a man. Especially one like Zerach. Her trepidation was obvious. Would he reject her because she wasn't perfect like the women she'd seen him with? And if they ever made it to that point, could she trust him with everything she had without running the risk of possibly ending up heartbroken?I liked how, when the time was right, Zerach hid nothing about his true self from Isadora. He revealed what he was with words and actions, displaying his wings in all their glory for her to see, answering any questions she had. The beauty of it all was when she returned the favor by sharing her tragic past and letting him see what she looked like under all her clothes.The most heartwarming moment in this story was when Zerach knew how far he would go to be with Isadora. Sex between angels and humans wasn't unheard of, but bonding with one was rare. But she was worth forsaking immortality for, and he didn't mind one bit.~~~He would be her fallen, and she would be his…everything. (153)~~~This is a great introduction to Ms. Jane's Archangels series. I can't wait to find out if Zerach's brothers--Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Camael, and Selaphiel--fall as well, and if their long-lost brother Gabriel comes back to them.***Received from Entangled Publishing for an honest review***
