Conflicted by Lark Taylor
4.0
PNR + Enemies to Lovers + Forbidden Romance between an angel and a demon? I’m so here for it! Micah and Nox’s story was complicated and angsty and I enjoyed it so much.
Micah and Nox are opposites in almost every way, so when they realize their fated mates, they try to ignore the pull toward each other but end up mixed up with each other time and time again. Their relationship is technically forbidden, but fate clearly had something else to say, so they’re fighting an uphill battle every minute once they stop avoiding each other. I wasn’t sure what to expect for these two and their story, but Lark took us somewhere totally unexpected and so perfect for them.
The angst and twists and turns kept me on my toes and so invested in these two holding on to the little bits of happiness they’d found in each other. Even when things got really dark, I was holding my breath and fighting back tears while waiting for everything to work itself out. Their banter and their unique brand of love made me smile - Micah and Nox are each other’s biggest protectors (unaliving as a love language…so great) while still also leading a heavenly army and causing all kinds of chaos. But they also help each other to see that angels and demons really aren’t all that different even though they’ve been made to think that all along.

If this is the kind of story we can expect from the rest of the Hopeless Blessed stories about the rest of the unattached Seraphim, sign me up! I feel like this book had a lot of overarching storyline setup for the series, so can’t wait for more about this group of angel badasses. And, as always, love the cameos from all of our Lark Taylor faves from the past!
