It is that time of year when we decide to jump headfirst into the realm of monster romances. After reading, Burn for Jack, I caught sight of this one and the premise sounded really interesting. A biblical-correct angel? This is really the first. I have never come across a dark romance that offers something biblically correct, so I had to dive into this book.
Robin has been working for Callum for three years while being the mole for a supernatural hate group that is trying to stop the production of a brand new line called Cupid's Arrow that would allow supernatural creatures and humans to mate. Unfortunately, the product is not quite ready, and is looking for a human test subject to try it on.
When Callum learns that Robin is the mole, he decides that he has found his test subject. Que the delicious monster sex.
I love monster romances. This is the first time I have actually come across one where the angel is biblically correct. You never find anything like this in other angel-related romances and I can see why they don't always want to use the corrected version. Often it may not fit the narrative but here it does. It adds a layer to Callum's character and history. A mix of angel and demon. Robin does not care who Callum is and she is trying to show him that remaining in his father's shadow isn't what he should be doing. He needs to make a name for himself.
Robin is the mole. She has been secretly giving information to the supernatural hate group. But she is also very much in love with her boss. She knows she is not supposed to be in love with him because they are two different species and they would not mix. But when she is forced to consume Cupid's Arrow, all she wants is him. She doesn't want him in his father's shadow and encourages him that he is not like his father. I liked her character because she was in love with him for him. Not for the company. Not for the shadow he lived in.

Final Thought:
I definitely enjoyed this story and I highly recommend this one and Burn for Jack especially if you are looking for something during the Halloween season.
