A guardian’s duty is to protect their charge.
It is a holy bond, unbreakable outside of death.
You must never leave their side. You must never show emotion.

Review
4 stars
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 series, and it’s a great read! Intriguing and imaginative, with action, drama and a sexy, intense romance, I really enjoyed this one.
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.
“You’re not capable of taking advantage of me. The nature of our bond prevents it. I exist to serve.”
This book is written entirely from Venefica’s POV, introducing us to the characters and their world, while setting the scene for the deeper story to come. It’s 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.
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’s 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.
“You are the one. It’s a feeling deep in my gut. An undeniable compulsion. I saw you and I knew it was you.”
The story builds really well, finishing on a seriously nasty cliffhanger that has me so curious where the series will go from here.
This is a great series starter, I’m completely hooked, and can’t wait to continue on with the story.
“The world can only hurt us. But when we’re together, all alone like this, life is perfect.”
4 stars.
