Book three in the Elemental Sisters series starts off with the guardian angel Clyde taking over guardianship of Ashley. Ashley's former guardian angel, Asher, fell from heaven and is now working with the evil out to cause war. Of course as the story begins Ashley has no clue about any of this.
Ashley is working at a coffee shop in London when she notices a very attractive man as he comes in to the store, how can she not? She goes about her busy life trying to ignore him until he asks her out on a date.
Clyde's job is to find Ashley and take her to her sisters before Asher finds her and takes her away. Too wound up in getting to knows Ashley, Clyde almost loses her to an attack by Asher. Now he knows he must focus and take her to her sisters. The only problem is he hasn't told her anything yet and as she was separated from her sisters twenty years ago the shock is going to be great.
Ashley is thrown into a world she knows nothing about; a world with demons, angels, vampires, shifters and her own unexpected powers. Ashley must learn to use and control her powers and find her mate.
Clyde has feeling he never knew he could have. Angels aren't supposed to feel and they cannot mate. So even as he falls more deeply in love with Ashley he must help her find her true mate before it is too late and she is forced to mate with the evil Malums.
HEAVENLY DESIRE is a wonderful love story about two people finding something they never thought possible. Though this is part of a series it is the first one I read and it can be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading the others though because two more sisters are still missing and when they are all found the battles will begin. Great characters abound and family created both out of love and respect. You have the makings of a great series.
HEAVENLY DESIRES will make you wish for your own guardian angel and look over your shoulder hoping he is there. JL Sheppard has a winner with the Elemental Sisters series and HEAVENLY DESIRE.
Jade Ashley has a past she'd like to forget and a destiny
she isn't aware of. A stranger, Clyde, saves her from an
attack and demonstrates extraordinary abilities she
believed
only she possessed. She soon realizes he's her guardian
angel sent to reunite her with her long lost sisters, who
like her are part of a new breed of immortals, Elementals,
prophesied to determine the outcome of the upcoming war.
Clyde, an angel, battles the one thing he believes will
lead
to his fall from heaven--his new found emotions, forbidden
among his kind. Nonetheless, the Angel Lords promise to
promote him to warrior when he completes his last
assignment--to find Jade. When he does, emotions he never
knew possible arise. For the first time in two thousand
years, he curses his existence, knowing she can never be
his. Will he sacrifice his wings for a woman he loves but
can't keep?
** This is the third installment of the Elemental Sisters
Series, but it can stand alone.
