Hugh doesn't realise when he meets Lilith that he will continue to be fascinated with her for many lifetimes to come. Both are on opposite sides, as a demon Lilith is sent to tempt and trick men into sin and Hugh as a Guardian is there to protect humankind. Their odd almost friendship spans centuries...until Hugh decides to fall and become human again. Meljean Brook is one of my favourite authors; I love her Iron Seas series, so I decided to try out her Paranormal Romance series, The Guardian.3.5 stars.The first part of the book is much, much stronger than the later part. The first part begins in the middle ages where Hugh is a young squire newly knighted. Lilith is already a century old demon who is sent to the castle where Hugh lives to send corrupt souls to Lucifer. Lilith is a Demon who serves but even though she is sarcastic, manipulative and lies alot, you can't really dislike her. Hugh is good, smart and so pure in spirit it practically shines out of him. And even though
Hugh and Lilith... wow! They really are a great couple! Looking at it objectively, I am almost shocked that I liked them as much as I do, because generally characters like Hugh - overly-earnest, naive, more than a bit self-righteous, very prone to deciding that he knows what is best and then charging forward into that course of action with no discussion, and a freaking martyr - annoy the crap out of me.But for whatever reason, he really didn't. In this book, all those qualities came together to
This was a seriously good romance. I am not sure if I have ever read a romance that was quite so... romantic. The premise is she's a demon, he's a "guardian" (quasi-angel), they are secretly obsessed with each other but fight for close to a millenia because that is their nature. And then, circumstances change and... you get the picture.So many things about this book are classic romance. The tension, the anticipation, the insurmountable obstacles, the tortured lovers. But they are very, very well
Hid this because looking at it now, I get kind of disgusted...Well, my friends probably know what's coming. I loved this book!LOL, JK, JK. I had you for a second there, didn't I? I agree with reviewers that realistic Part I of Demon Angel exceeds Part II by far. In Part I, we enjoy tension between medieval knight Hugh and demon Lilith as enemies and lovers, equals. Lilith tries to lure him, and Hugh parries- yet admirably remains a gentleman, though she throws herself at him repeatedly. They
This review was originally published on Musing of a BookwormThe first in The Guardian series (not including the novella Falling for Anthony), Demon Angel introduces a reader to the War between Heaven and Hell over earth and the souls of the humans living on it.The tale starts in Medieval England with a young knight, Sir Hugh. On his way home from two years protecting his Lords child bride in France, he meets Lilith at some roman ruins close to his destination after investigating a mysterious
3.5 stars.Brilliant beginning, but the story dragged a lot in the middle, until a spectacular ending.
