Blurb: Nathaniel doesn’t want to go Castle Archangel: he’s half-human and can’t fly like the rest of his clan. Even worse, he likes guys and he’s not exactly white. That makes him an interspecies outcast, but he wants to please his dad. Once there, he meets Zeke, the angels’ sexy weapons master. Sadly, Zeke is straight and Nathaniel doesn’t hit on men he can’t have.

When Zeke meets Nathaniel, his gut tells him he’s met his mate, but he’s never been attracted to a guy before. Despite Nathaniel’s wariness and his own fear, Zeke can’t help claiming him when instinct takes over.

Unfortunately, Nathaniel isn’t ready to bond, not even when their connection sparks dormant angelic powers. However, when Zeke flies into danger, Nathaniel follows. Demons stalk their people and it will take every angel who can wield a blade to fight the evil that lurks in unexpected places.

Review: Short, Sexy and {wait for it….} Steamy!

Nathaniel is half human and half angel shifter. He has no wings, no marks and he is openly gay. He has lived his life as an outcast among his people, but his father loves and believes in him completely, and Nathaniel would do anything for him. He longs to feel the marks of the divine on his skin, the air surrounding him as he flies and the love of a man. He has come to accept these are things he will never have in his life.

Zeke is an angel shifter and weapons master called to Castle Archangel for his skill in weaponry. From the start, he feels a strange connection to the young man with skin the color of tea. Zeke has always been straight, and though he’s confused by the attraction to Nathaniel at first, he recognizes the mate bond and claims the hybrid. Their bond brings out that which has been trapped inside Nathaniel for the whole of his life, and he finally shows his marks and grows his wings.

Nathanial fights the bond itself for weeks as his relationship with Zeke continues to grow and the two go at it like rabbits instead of angels! When a trusted friend turns out to be a demon in disguise and not only is Zeke, but all the angels’ lives put in danger, Nathaniel finds the strength within to soar. But will he finally bond with Zeke? Or will these two angels go crazy from a mate bond not fulfilled due to fear?

Leaf has created such a unique series with the Angel shifters of Castle Archangel. Each angel has a story, a gift and a purpose. And even though they are angels, the supposed perfect beings, they have a flawed reality to their souls that make them almost human. I’m anxious to see where Leaf goes with the next book in this series.

I definitely recommend this series, and though this book could be read alone, it might be better to read the books in order. A must read for fans of shifter romance, paranormal romance and soul mate stories.
