Lash (Broken Angel #1)Synopsis
Decades after being banished from Heaven for saving a life he shouldn’t have, Lash is given a chance to redeem himself. His mission: protect Naomi Duran, a young woman who has lost faith in herself. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when his superiors, the Archangels, withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash’s powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.
Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning to Heaven, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all—his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe.
Soon, Lash will have to choose where to place his faith—in the home he has fought so hard to regain or in the forbidden love he can’t bear to lose.
Our 4 Star Review
Messing up one too many times Lash is sent to live on Earth, 35 years later he is given a chance at redemption. But what happens when his charge is connected to his past?
Fallen Angels are so much fun to read about this one kept you guessing right till the end. Loved Naomi and her feisty attitude and how she could put Lash in his place even while she was secretly enchanted by him. Lash had his ups and downs but he's the kind of guy you root for through and through.

After the Fall (Broken Angel #2)
Synopsis
There’s a Spanish proverb that says, “From the thorn and the pain, a flower is born.” Naomi Duran never really understood what that meant until she became an archangel.
Finally reunited with the love of her life, Naomi thought she had everlasting love and happiness in Heaven. Even with the rebellious Lash by her side, she learns that life as an archangel isn’t easy.
When secrets of the past are finally revealed, tempers flare, brother is pitted against brother, and Naomi and Lash face the greatest threat to their relationship: choosing among love, family, or duty.
In the end, can this family of broken angels forgive past mistakes, or will they carry the thorn in their hearts forever, ripping their family apart?
Naomi is in Heaven learning to be an Arch Angel and enjoying her life and love with Lash. As she is preparing for her first assignment she learns the secret Lash has been keeping about her fathers death. Unable to face him she leaves without saying goodbye, but as her assignment evolves and she is forced to test her faith she must decide if she truly believes in destiny and all things happening for a reason.
Though told primarily from the POV of Naomi you also get to see things from Lash's perspective as well as others helping to give the story depth. I enjoyed seeing things from several POV understanding how each person felt about certain events. As the second in the series you already have an understanding for the characters but I loved how you got to know more of their backgrounds and why they are the way they are. Because the last in the trilogy is a prequel, in this one you get to see how things turn out and soon well see how it all started when the final book releases Spring 2014.
Loved the first two in this trilogy and am excited to see the last when it comes out. If you enjoy books like Amy A. Bartol's Premonition Series you're sure to love these too!!!
