This was a quick sweet and spicy read. I wanted a bit more from it, but it is a novella so for its length I feel it was pretty solid. I liked the time jump type of storyline and watching that unfold, and the idea of falling in love with your guardian angel/best friend is so fun.

Ebook

Summary: Guardian angel, Michael, and his charge, Jack, become close and fall in love, despite all the rules prohibiting it.

Stats: Fantasy CR, M/M (bi MC/unlabeled MC), open door, stand alone novella.

Notes: This should not have been a novella. I enjoyed it well enough, but the style choice at the beginning to jump hither and yon in the narrative just didn’t work for me in such a short format. I needed more - more building, more character, more time spent in the plot. I really enjoy Oniomoh’s writing, I like the characters, I just want more space for the stories to play out and develop.

OTT and Spoilery Content Notes:

Nigerian mmc, set in Nigeria, black MCs, bisexual MMC/unlabeled MC (genderless, male identifying), orphan MMc, adoption, religion, 23MMCs, mmc dates other people, gamer mmc, alcohol, lube use, anal play, anal sex, mmc can change his penis (creative anatomy), magical bondage

A guardian angel (Michael) grapples with the choice of falling–literally and figuratively–for his charge and actual soulmate (Jack). It was beautifully written and reminded me a lot of Sweet Surrender, but the bouncing around between the timelines of “Now” and “Then” confused me.

When I tell you I love everything she pens, I mean it!! She writes the sweetest boys ever and I love that for me! She could have done so much with this, pulled the conflict out but I think like me, Oniomoh’s characters subscribed to the belief that just because I have powers doesn’t mean I need to be a hero. So while there could have been more it was perfect just as it was. The beginning was so heartbreaking I almost couldn’t stand it once I realized what was going on. This is an easy, quick, and sweet read. I love her angels as much as I love her demons.
