M/F - minimal sexual foreplay Rating:

Warriors for the Light 1: Eli is a romantic, paranormal short story that is engrossing from the beginning. The subject matter of Fallen Angels in paranormal romances is hot right now, and Karen Michelle Nutt weaves a wonderful tale of hunky, sexy angels and their quest for true love. By the end of the story, the reader is left wishing for another one hundred pages of Eli and Ryden’s story. You just don’t want it to come to an end. Eli and Ryden fit perfectly together and just seem to be meant for each other. They have an easy-going rapport and are total in sync with one another. There is sexual tension between the two, and you can see how badly they want each other, but they don’t push or rush into anything, their chemistry works and delving into descriptions of sexual intimacy are not needed to make this story sexy. The old adage, “Less is more”, definitely fits this story. Warriors for the Light 1: Eli is a great book to curl up with if love stories about Fallen Angels and Nephilim are of interest to you. There is something very appealing and sexy about having such powerful paranormal creatures as romantic leads in love stories, and this is no exception. Ms. Nutt has done very well in delivering a top-notch romance which should please paranormal fans.

Coming Soon!

Lucca Marlowe is half human, half angel, a Nephilim who abhors humans. Banished for crimes against one of his fellow brethren, the elders bind his glamour and wings, casting him to the human’s realm. He’ll either learn to respect his human side of existence or live out eternity trying.

Lucca does not live a mundane life. Angels and demons demand he do their bidding. His estrange father resurfaces after centuries of being absent and he’s brought a friend from Hell.

To make his life more complicated, he fears he found his soul mate in a human female. Only Juliet Romeo has a secret that will bring the wrath of Heaven down upon their heads.

It’s a race against time to find out who will end up with his soul.

Awesome Read!

I love the mythical world of the Nephilim (half angel/half human), or better known in the bible as “The Watchers”. Each time I read a book about The Watchers I learn something new about them and this author has definitely done her homework with the history behind these Nephilim by adding the rules and consequences of engagement between Angels and humans.

I truly loved and enjoyed reading this book. The author’s writing was easy to follow and not once did I get bored. I actually couldn’t put the book down because of all the action and excitement of what was going to happen next definitely captured and intrigued me right away. This first book was full of a lot of information about the Nephilim and because of that I believe the next books in this series will be remarkable good.

The romance was flirty and sweet in the fact that the book was more about Eli proving that Ryden was his soul mate and in order to do that he is cast back into time before Eli and Ryden were intimate but when he kisses her, flashes of him making love to her along with vision of him with his wings spread and wrapped around her as he bites her with his fangs below her breast as if marking and bonding are brought forward into her memory as if in a da’ja’vu. The memory startles her but does it save Eli in the end from the punishment of the Elders or will the demon assassins kill them before the end of Ol’Hallows Eve?

A must read to find out and I promise you will not be disappointed. I promise you will want to know more about each character as they find their true soul mate in order to save their souls from damnation and like I do will look forward to read the next book coming out called “Lucca: Warriors for the Light Bound by Hatred ~ Freed by Love”.

Breaking the Rules of Conduct for the Fallen Angels when he reveals his true nature to a human woman, Ryden O’Sullivan, Eli is to be sentenced for his crime, but he argues against the Elders of the Grigori and so they decide to give him Halloween night to prove that what they share for each other is true love. But there are some of the Fallen Angels that fear Eli will succeed in his test of true love, and will stop at nothing to see that he fails.

Nutt blends danger and desire into a brilliant romance. It kept me glued to the book until the very end.

Warning: Do not start this unless you have time to finish. I started it in my lunch hour at work and had to keep sneaking a read until I finished

“There are four rules that the Fallen Angels must keep::
1- Do not befriend a human
2- Do not interfere in their lives
3- Do not have relations with a human
4- Under no circumstances will you ever reveal your true self.”

Having lived for more than a few centuries, Eli has succumbed to the charms of Ryden and broken every single rule. Brought in for his judgment, Eli is defiant and insistent that Ryden is his true soulmate. In the face of this persistent, the judgment against Eli gives him 24 hours to have Ryden declare her love for him, but he must go back in time to do so before he and Ryden became a couple. Will Ryden still love him without his glamour and can she overcome her inherent wariness to declare her love in such a short time?

As a Fallen Angel, Eli has an inherent glamour that draws the so-called “lesser species” to him. The elders refuse to believe that Ryden could love Eli for himself without his glamour. If they were to accept this, it would change the whole structure of their society. Eli, though, knows she does and is prepared to face death for this belief. If you are looking for a strong-willed protective male lead then go no further, Eli will defend Ryden with his life even when his powers are bound and he has to rely on only his long years of experience as a warrior.

I almost gave this a five as is very well written and draws you in. As stated above, I started this very compelling story in my lunch hour and had to keep stealing reads until I finished. The only reasons it didn’t get a five where a couple of little niggles; there is one question that, while briefly asked, is never answered and it bugged me. When a Fallen Angel finds a soulmate in a human, what happens when the human dies, or does being mated somehow give the human longevity? The only other slight niggle was the glossary at the start. Since this was there, I didn’t expect explanations for all the terms throughout the story but they were there and it was just a little frustrating.

I really enjoyed this as an obvious start to a series and am very eager to find out how the other Fallen Angels find their soulmates. The next story will be challenging as Lucca seems a real piece of work.

So in closing, this is an enthralling story that leaves you wanting more and wondering just how the other Fallen Angels stories will come about.

Snippet of the review:

Eli: Warriors for the Light is the first in the Fallen Angels series. The series starts off with Eli, a fallen angel who breaks the rules and tells a human about what he is. Faced with death, or proving that even without his powers Ryden would still love him; he sets out to win her heart, again!! Asking the question, "if you truly are soul mates, wouldn't you fall in love all over again?" Ms. Nutt has a gift for quality storytelling that moves the reader and leaves them very satisfied. This is a story with great characters, and the introduction of all the fallen angels and their stories to come. I loved the characters and felt I was able to get to them individually, without taking away from the story. I really liked the villain, Lucca, and I cannot wait for his story coming soon! I have reviewed several of Ms. Nutt's works and I am always left satisfied.

Eli: Warriors for the Light

Words: 37691 (approximate)

E-book Available at: Smashwords

At a very young age the Rules of Conduct for the Fallen Angels were drummed into Eli Grigori’s head. Rule number one: Do not befriend a human. Rule number two: Do not interfere in their lives. Rule number three: Do not have relations with a human. Rule number four: Under no circumstances will you ever reveal your true self. He managed to break all of the above.

Ol’ Hallow’s Eve is the day the veil between worlds are thin. It’s the only day out of the year the preternatural beings are allowed to walk among the humans as their true selves. With Eli’s wings bound and his glamour stripped, the Elders send him back in time before Ryden O’Sullivan knew the truth about him. If she is truly his soul mate, then her heart should recognize him.

There are those among the Watchers who are afraid Eli might succeed in his quest for love. If he does, everything will change within the brethren. Hashasheen demons, assassins for hire are sent to take out Eli and Ryden. Eli is a warrior and will fight to keep Ryden safe, but time may be his biggest enemy. The Elders gave him until the end of Ol’ Hallow’s Eve. Ryden must fall in love with him by then or his life will be forfeited.

Excerpt:

“I want to kiss you, Ryden O’Sullivan. What do you say about that?”

Man, the way Eli said her name, curling it off his tongue like he was describing a tantalizing sweet. She wanted him to kiss her, too. “I…”

He didn’t wait for her to finish and she really didn’t know what she was going to tell him anyway. It didn’t seem to matter now. He took the steps that separated them. His one hand encircled her waist, bringing her closer. His other hand tipped her head up, cradling it in his palm. Slowly, lazily, never breaking eye contact, he lowered his mouth to hers, claiming her lips. The sweet urgency of his kiss was like a drug, making her shake, breathless and yearning for more. The kiss spilled through to her soul with recognition. She kissed him before…made love to him. Startled at where her thoughts had drifted, she shook her head and pulled away. That wasn’t right. They hadn’t even dated and she sure would remember taking this man to her bed. Man, her brain was severely scrambled.
