Another great addition to the Operation: Middle of the Garden
Series. I normally don’t read paranormal, but Ms. Persell has entranced me with
this series. The soldiers in these books were forced to eat from the Tree of Eternal
Life and as a result are targets for Warrior Angels to punish them for
disobeying God’s orders. However, there’s always a few challenges that get in
the way, including Ms. Persell’s creation of Tempations, Compulsions and the
Fall. I don’t like to give spoilers, but I will let you know that the whole conception
of this story line is superb!
In this installment, the characters are enthralling. I
always love a troubled hero and Max does not disappoint. He’s been in captive
for 9 long years and has such a protective nature about him that through his
tough exterior, there’s a softie at heart. Not only that, but he is a flawed
hero in a physical way. He has a huge scar on his face and is very self-conscious
about it. However, this does not detract from Pursell’s character building or
pull away from his attractiveness. It makes him more intriguing and it’s a clear
way for him to become closer to the heroine.
Anahita is the unique heroine in this book: an angel with
dual responsibilities ̶ to kill and to protect. I love how these two immediately
connect ̶ though Temptations will connect ̶ and how they fight the connection.
They love to hate each other, which builds the conflict.
Lastly, what I love most about Pursell’s writing is her
scorching hot sex scenes. They are like no other. When I think she can’t do it
any better, she molds together something even hotter. It’s not your normal ‘let’s
get in bed and hook up’ type of sensuality. It’s literally something you’ve
never read before ̶ which makes it all the more exciting to read.
Of Alliance and
Rebellion deserves FIVE STARS and I highly recommend it. The hotness factor,
witty banter between the soldiers and unique storyline drew me in to a point
where couldn’t wait to get home to read. I want more! I highly suspect it’s
cutie Oliver’s story. I’ll be first in line to continue with the series.
