“Hunter and the Prey”

Lev is an angel in the Order of Harmony who destroys demons. Lev has been trying to catch the demon Alael for years, but Alael continues to elude him. Lev realizes that his attraction to Alael probably allows the demon to escape him time and time again.

Alael wants Lev and he doesn’t deny his desire, but Lev continues to resist their clearly mutual attraction. Like heaven and hell, the differences between them may too great to overcome.

I love a story about enemies who become lovers. Alael and Lev are sexy, majestic and enchanting. “Hunter and The Prey” is very erotic and romantic.

 

“Angels of Blood”

 

Adon is the Commander of the Chaos Order. He has come to Irael’s home to see if Irael is guilty of the crimes with which he has been charged, but that is not the only reason. Once lovers, Adon wants to know why Irael left him. Irael has a very different point of view on how their relationship ended.

“Angels of Blood” is sexy and romantic. Adon’s unique appearance is fascinating and Irael’s submissiveness is sexy.

 

“Unholy Need”

Nichael is angel of the Lower Order of Creation. His task is to stop a mage who is using too much power.  As Nichael secretly watches the mage trying to determine what he is up to, he spots Nias. Nias is a young, impetuous demon who has also been ordered to destroy the mage. Nichael and Nias become unlikely allies when it seems the mage isn’t the only target.

Nias and Nichael are a match made in heaven, literally. I love them together. “Unholy Need” is a great story.

 

“Order of the Highest”

Talah is a fallen angel. He is sent by the Damnation sect to spy on the Order of the Highest. Once there, his mentor Aridas becomes more than his teacher. Talah was a sexual companion to Sephas entering the Order of the Highest. Sepha is a cruel and aggressive demon who won’t willingly give up the play thing he found in Talah, but Aridas isn’t willing to give Talah up either. If it means a fight to the death, Aridas will fight to claim his fallen angel.

“Order of the Highest” is an edgy and gripping tale. Talah is an intriguing character and Aridas is very commanding. I love the intensity in “Order of the Highest.”

 

“The True Fall of Lucifer”

There was a time when Michael and Lucifer were two half’s of the same whole. But Lucifer’s fall from grace led him astray. Michael insists that they are still bound to each other, but Lucifer believes that he is lost to anything good, especially his beloved Michael.

Lucifer and Michael are an explosive and controversial couple. Mychael Black and Shayne Carmichael tell this story very well. I love  “The True Fall of Lucifer.”

 

Heaven and hell and dark against light are the premises for Realms of Fantasy. These five stories are ethereal, sensual, erotic and romantic. Realms of Fantasy is excellent.
