Conflicted might turn out to be one of my favorites in this multi-series universe about demons, angels and various supernatural beings getting their soulmates and HEA.  It’s a heavily interconnected, richly layered universe where the storylines and well written characters keep weaving together throughout each other’s lives and series arcs. 

Those are precisely the superbly crafted elements Lark gives us where Conflicted excels here. Several of the important characters, Micah and Dimitri, archangels who were a part of a longstanding ancient angel brotherhood, have had a ongoing storyline that stretches from Luck of the Devil (The Reckless Damned Book 4, through the Damned Connections series up to Conflicted.

It’s been a tortured dynamic as Dimitri found his soulmates (Lucky, a human and Dagon, one of the sons of Lucifer) while Micah mourned the loss of Dimitri, the love that was never his.  Each angel has, through the course of the many series, done or asked of the other, some truly questionable acts.  Micah to get Dimitri, Dimitri to save his soulmates. 

Now Lark, in some gorgeous plotting and character development, gives each of them the redemption arc that they deserve (Micah) and,frankly, have been needing (Dimitri). 

That it arrives via the figure of a demon that had helped to save the other soulmates is perfect. That’s Nox, one of a group that is brought topside after that last battle.

Nox is both unexpected and an amazingly powerful character.  Again, Lark had some great surprises and twists in store for the universe, characters and plot lines when she brought in this character. 

The battle scenes are vibrant with action and emotional moments.  The characters have the depth to go with the dramatic climaxes and plot lines that Lark has created for them. And the potential for the series and characters that’s been laid out is intriguing and anticipatory.

I’m waiting happily for the next one to be released.

        Conflicted: MM PNR Enemies to Lovers (Hopeless Blessed Book 1)

    

Blurb:

Heaven has many rules for angels to follow, but one comes above all others.

Angels and demons cannot fall in love.

Micah

I’ve been alive for millennia and have yet to meet my fated mate. It’s not something I’ve ever cared about; my heart already belongs to another. Someone I can’t have. Someone who doesn’t want me.

Now I know we’ll never be together. Unlike me, he’s found his fated mates. Two of them.

That’s fine. As leader of the Seraphim, Heaven’s most elite unit of angels, I don’t have time for love.

Apparently fate has other ideas.

Meeting my mate on a battlefield outside Hell is surprising, to say the least. When you add in his uncanny resemblance to the man who broke my heart, it’s safe to say I’m far from pleased.

The fact that he’s a demon, my natural born enemy, is just icing on the cake of this is never going to happen. It’s a good thing I haven’t been banking on meeting my mate and living happily ever after, because there’s no way it’s happening with Nox.

It’s not like Nox wants me either. He hates me with a ferocity I’ve come to expect from his kind. The two of us never being together is the only thing we can agree on.

Still, there’s a pull between us that neither of us can ignore, no matter how much I wish we could. What starts out as hate sex, a way to try and burn off the intensity between us, quickly blossoms into something more. Something dangerous.

Something forbidden.

Conflicted is an exciting enemies to lovers, angel x demon, MM PNR romance. The first in the Hopeless Blessed series, each book will follow a different couple. All can be read as standalone titles.
