Alric is in hell - not literally but for over three centuries he’s been kept away from his soulmate as he and his Guardian brothers try to fulfill an oath. His beloved has grown bitter, weary and lost her powers and is enticed by Blaine to Fall.
In a race against time Alric tries to woo Willow back. It’s heart wrenching watching these two soulmates suffer because of circumstances out of their control and misunderstandings and miscommunication.
Their pain leaps of the page. As does the shining light of their love. Each loves the other but must make tough choices as sacrifices are needed.
Blaine continues to be a bastard with charm and a rage for Fate. We don’t know why he Fell but it’s important enough for Fate to send the Guardians to bring him back. But saving him has not been and will not be easy.
Thoroughly enjoyed delving further into this world with soulmates who have been apart for too long. Their love does indeed goes to their souls and there’s an all encompassing sweetness to their love - as well as great sex.

This was an addictive read, I loved Willow and Alaric, you really go on Willows journey with her , feeling her anger and despair at being abandoned and the writing is so good. You can’t help but need to know they’ll be ok, as i did because I read this in one sitting. Great chemistry, lovely connection and story. I hadn’t read the first book in this series but I felt you didn’t need to stood well as a lone book, no cliffhangers, just a lovely Heartwarming end.

What a great paranormal romance this is.
Sexy alpha male Raven is an earth bound angel tasked with being a guardian to Tayla. She is destined for a specific path and he must protect her on her journey. What he doesn’t plan on is to be so utterly drawn to her. He is attracted to her but knows he can’t have her.
When Tayla catches the attention of Blaine, the Fallen whom Raven is supposed to bring back into the light, he forces Raven to intervene, resulting in him ultimately revealing his true identity to her. While the two are falling in love with each other, Raven is still working hard to protect her. The romance between Raven and Tayla is so great! You can feel the spark between them through the page. You want to root for them.
Along with Tayla and Raven, there is a great cast of characters here in this book. All of Raven’s fellow angels are such a tight knit group. I loved the dynamic between them all and how accepting and protective they are of Tayla.
I truly cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Firstly, be prepared to drool slightly over the cover of this book. Definitely be prepared to swoon a little once you meet the characters. One piece of advice – don’t start this one until you have time to read uninterrupted for a while. I could not put it down and, after starting it near midnight thinking I’d just read one chapter before sleep, I ended up reading fifteen chapters in one go. Book hangover guaranteed!
I have always enjoyed paranormal romance, and I am quite fond of the winged ones. Boys with wings #heavenly. This book did not disappoint.
Tayla has escaped to the mountains after a traumatic event. What she doesn’t know is that she is one of Fate’s Chosen, and there is a whole world in the shadows she knows nothing of. Tucked away in the mountains is the private domain of a brotherhood of immortal guardians exiled from the heavens. Raven, leader of these Guardians, has been assigned to protect Tayla. Can he battle his own demons and prevent a fall to Hell? Can he resist temptation? Can he protect her from the Fallen lurking in the shadows?
Raven is all kinds of awesome. He is quite an intense character, but he also has a hidden vulnerability that makes you want to get to know him better (and maybe give him a cuddle if he’ll let you).
There is plenty of action and the adrenaline fueled moments are very visual and leap off the page.
Being set in the same State that I live in gives the setting a feeling of familiarity for me. But I feel like it is written in such a way it would be easy to imagine it being a woodland mountain region anywhere in the world.
The push / pull between Raven and Tayla is maddening, but in the best possible way. The slow burn between them definitely ratchets up the intensity. I would have liked a little more of the steamy scenes *wink wink*. And I have one unanswered question about Tayla at the end, but that will no doubt be clarified in the next book.
There is also a great cast of supporting characters. It was mild love at first sight for me when Gabe appears on the lawn. I love a good Gabriel, especially one in a tailored 3 piece suit!
I’m interested to discover the other Guardians back stories in the future, especially when it comes to Aric.
Raine is awesome. Nothing beats a bad-ass stiletto-wearing assassin style angel.
Blaine is interesting and I look forward to seeing his character develop as the series progresses. He has this dark-side bad-boy swagger while simultaneously oozing gentlemanly charm.
Fate is intriguing. It is a tangled web she weaves. What does Fate have in store for them next?
A solid debut novel and a great addition to the collection of any Paranormal Romance fan.

The Fallen Guardians series continues with Unforgotten, an action packed and compelling sequel. The Mystery surrounding Aric and his history that was hinted at in book 1 is unveiled.
When Aric was exiled from the heavens with his brothers he was separated from his soulmate. Without knowing the details of why he disappeared, Willow has spent centuries believing that he abandoned her. The toxic pool of bitterness, heartache, and pain has been affecting her angelic powers. When offered an opportunity to escape her internal hell by falling to the actual Hell the temptation to sever her connection to the heavens and Aric proves tempting.
Can Aric and the Guardians save her soul and restore her to the heavens? Can the soulmates find a way back to each-other and reinforce their bond?
Bad boy Blaine is back in this instalment. And his swagger is bigger and badder than ever. We’re not supposed to love the evil characters, but Cassie makes that impossible with the way Blaine is written. I kind of picture him like a blending of some posh British aristocrat and a bad boy biker, with a side of meddling bitter sibling. There is definitely a lot more to his story to discover. I feel like he has a hidden fiery pit of pain hiding behind that handsome smile. I am looking forward to seeing how his character progresses in future books and I hold on the hope that he can be redeemed and reunited with his brothers without all the hellfire and darkness.
I love the complexity of the backstory between Aric and Willow and the events leading up to his exile. The vivid nature of Arics “dreams” in the beginning give a sense of foreboding.. The Hell scenes are appropriately dramatic and hellish.
The sense of longing and anguish coming from Aric are heart-bruising and emotive. Poor guy.
The miscommunication between the two was an obstacle that created the perfect amount of tension in the story. I just wanted to sit them both down for a chat and get all the assumptions and false information cleared up.
The steamy scenes will definitely fog up your glasses! Aric comes across as a bit of a hot-head, quick to anger and fight but, when it comes to Willow, he is a big romantic squishy heart of a man that you can’t help but love a little. EJ and Raine are fantastic side characters. I don’t have much of an impression of River yet, but I'm sure he will become a more fleshed out character as the series continues. I still swoon a little when Gabe mists in. Can he get a book too please!

This story was so awesome. It took me a but at first to get into it, (sometimes I hate too much info or background, I'm impatient), but when the story picked up, I couldn't put it down. At one point I actually hated Fate and the Angels. I cried so hard my heart hurt. Whenever I read a story that gives me such strong emotions, I know it's a gr8 story. I recommend this
Thank you to NetGalley for giving me this book in exchange for an honest review!
Unforgotten is book 2 in the Fallen Guardians series by Cassie Laelyn. The story in general is pretty typical: fallen angels, lost loved, and a fight to save a pure soul.
Willow felt abandoned when her soulmate Aric left Heaven on a mission. She tried to have faith but the centuries passed and feelings of pain and resentment festered. Enter fallen angel, Blaine. Blaine offers her a way out of Heaven, where she feels trapped without Aric, and she accepts.
Arics mission is, in part, to slay fallen angels. He didn’t expect to be away from Willow for so long and feels a constant ache in his chest because of their separation. He is a man who does his duty unfailingly. At least he is until Willow becomes a fallen. Now he has to make hard choices in an attempt to save her soul, and his own.
I struggled to become invested in this story. The writing style, detail, and world building are all fine, but they story felt a little done to me. However, if you are a fan of Fallen, or Hush, Hush, this is probably a great choice for you!
