Paranormal - Supernatural

Connor Buchanan has been on earth for 499 years and if there's two things he knows, it's that one, love doesn't do anything but cause heartache, and two, he's destined for hell. Watching his friends fall into the trap called love one by one isn't giving Connor any hope. He knows heartache is just around the corner. When a fallen angel ends up in his care, Connor re-evaluates his stand on falling in love. But there's no way an angel would fall for a condemned man like him.

Marielle doesn't follow orders very well, thus was stripped of her wings and tossed out of heaven. Now Marielle has one goal in mind; find a way back into heaven. She thinks she may have found a way to win redemption by helping the good vampires in their fight with the Malcontents. With each passing day on earth though, Marielle is more confused about what she wants. The feelings Connor stirs up within her want her to stay on earth and heal him from his pain, but heaven is the only home she knows. Is she going to be Connor's salvation or will he be the cause of her ultimate downfall from heaven?

Fans of Kerrelyn Sparks' Love at Stake series have been waiting for this story for a long, long time. In her tenth book, Sparks finally gives fans the story of the Scottish hottie, Connor Buchanan. I've certainly been waiting for his story since I first discovered this series. For those new to the series, I strongly suggest you read the rest of the series before you pick up this book. There are a lot of key players and it can be hard to keep track of things. For those of you who are already in love with these books, this is another book to add to your keeper pile. After 499 years, Connor deserves a happily ever after, but it does come with some heartache along the way. Be prepared for some surprises and a lot of laughs. And long after you finish this book, I guarantee you you'll be thinking about the three step rule and if it really works. Now, go read the book to find out what the three step rule is. You'll love it!

SUMMARY

Nothing on earth can make this vampire fall in love . . .

After 499 years of existence, Connor Buchanan has arrived at an inescapable conclusion: he is a cold-hearted SOB. He's been watching his friends—those poor romantic fools—plummet off the cliff into love like a dazed herd of sheep. But not Connor. He knows that love leads to nothing but heartache.

Until Marielle . . .

She is an angel cast down from heaven for disobedience. Trapped in mortal form, she finds a protector in Connor, a Scottish vampire haunted by a dark past. Marielle hopes to heal his broken heart and earn her way back home, but suddenly she has these . . . feelings. This strange yet pleasant physical yearning—for a vampire! Is this the work of a demon luring her into hell, or has this angel found heavenly bliss?
