Archangels Creed #2
Summon Dorn
12 Warrior Archangels are to be sent to Earth to stop their Fallen Brethren from setting off Armageddon prematurely.
Dorn, the Aquamarine Warrior, is the second archangel in line to come to Earth. Thanks to Kassern's lack of self-control, Dorn is forced to marry. Selecting a nun as his wife will guarantee maturity and humility, thereby ensuring quick success.
With his infallible research and persuasive aquamarine qualities, Dorn will find his ideal couple in record time and become the unique warrior needed to fight Satan's abominations.
But pairing a naïve and klutzy nurse with a handsome librarian with a dark past is more complex than Dorn expects. And worse, his nun is hardly the paragon of virtue he expected.
Having Kassern witness his miscalculations is bad enough, but requiring his aid to finish what should be a quick and simple task is a humiliation Dorn will not soon forget.
About Archangels Creed:
Twelve Archangels. Twelve couples. Twelve months.
Can they create the Holy Warriors needed to prevent the demon-spawned abominations from destroying the world?
Let the Summoning Begin.
Satan has found a loophole in the rules that govern his battle against Good. The Archangel Uriel sends twelve elite Warrior Archangels to Earth on a mission to even the odds against the demon-spawned abominations being produced.
Each Archangel has one month to find two people, unite them in love, and use their union's power to create the Holy Warriors needed to defend the world against Satan's unholy creations. And they have to do it while staying out of the demons' clutches.
But the mission isn't so simple when inheriting Humanity comes with challenges beyond the Archangels' training, and every milestone in the relationships affect the team's strength. Who knew headaches and PMS could be such a pain in the ass?

Summon Dorn “Archangel’s Creed” Book #2
There are 12 Archangel’s, 12 Couples and 12 months to create the Holy warriors needed to prevent the demon abominations from destroying the earth.
Summon Dorn is the continuation of this sage as the second Archangel to go to earth and claim his chosen wife and the human couple. Dorn is warrior through and through and a no nonsense type of guy (Archangel). After Kassern’s indiscretion forcing all the Archangels to take wives Dorn was going to make sure his choice was a safe one and there would be no emotional distraction from his duties. In comes Sally a young woman wanting to become a nun if it will take away all her pain and nightmares of a childhood gone very badly. Dorn’s choice for the human couple would be Jessie (Sally’s babysister) and Leo a very very bad boy. This was Dorn’s first mistake. EVER. Leo could not be salvaged and wanted to hurt Jessie (enough said here). Leo suffers a cataclysmic stroke leaving him brain dead and Dorn without his human couple. In comes Lucian (I just loved this guy). As the story unfolds and everything unravels for Dorn and doesn’t go according to his plan of neat and organized, this tough/organized/methodical warrior becomes totally unglued and confused by his feelings for Sally and what she does to him. He’s never experienced these types of emotions and feelings. It doesn't help that a Demon is Hell Bent on taking Sally for his own and he does manage to steal her away a few times before Dorn & Sally get the deed done. This is all you’re getting from me you really need to read this installment of the series you’re going to love. I absolutely love the big meeting at the end of the story’s with the head Archangel Uriel and the rest of the Archangel team and hearing them all say yeah not happening to me. Can’t freakin wait for Toren’s story. We already know he’s decided on his wife. Azure I give this 5* and can’t wait for book #3.

LOVED IT! WONDERFUL!! Summon Dorn is the second story in the unique “Archangels Creed” series with the next Archangel being sent to earth to claim his chosen wife along with the human couple who will become the Holy Warriors needed to fight Satan. Archangel Dorn, is a very organized and disciplined warrior, he is determined never to gain any emotional ties unlike Kassern’s reckless mistake, which forced all the Archangels to now take a wife. Dorn then proceeds to make choices which he feels are very safe , but does he make A VERY BIG MISTAKE with these choices, plus his world is turned upside down when his human traits start to kick in. In the conclusion of the story a meeting is held with Uriel (head Archangel) and the other angels, this is a wonderful part in the story, hearing all the angels various comments is hilarious. I look forward to the next story about Toren and the challenges he will face.

*Warning: May contain spoilers* *Not to be read if under 18*
This is book 2 in the “Archangel’s Creed" series, and Dorn is the 2nd Archangel to be sent to Earth to create a triumvirate: an Archangel with his human couple (one of them needing redemption), or thanks to Kassern's "indiscretion in marrying", i.e. miscalculating that he'd inherit human traits while his couple inherits traits of angels, a quadumverate. Thanks to Kassern now Dorn and all of the other Archangels must also marry as to not upset the balance.
As if Dorn isn't already disgusted by this, the Annoyingly Perfect and Logical Archangel fails to admit he'd made a mistakes in his choosing of his triumvirate. He was, after all, a soldier in the Nine Universes. Hello Mr. Pride, one of the seven deadly sins...He's kind of a blockhead. He can't figure out that things just aren't how they were 100,000 years ago. I'll admit Dorn annoyed me with his pretentiousness until the very end where he started to admit he isn't perfect. Is it a coincidence his name is Dorn, the German word for Thorn?
Mistake #1: choosing the ego-maniacal Leo, a serial rapist (ugh! OK well, that IS someone in need of redemption...) with parent issues. Yeah, I know "paging Dr. Freud", but if you look into the past of someone like Leo what you'll most likely find is someone with mommy and/or daddy issues. He watched his mother do nothing when he suffered various types of abuse at his father's hands. He grew up resenting her, and thinks all women are weak and undeserving of pleasure. Dorn sends Leo warnings to leave Jesse alone, but damn that free will, Leo doesn't listen. So after suffering an intervened massive brain hemorrhage via Dorn, he is in the hospital in a vegetative state. Oh how I wish we could really punish sex offenders like this... The hospital is where Jesse, Dorn's chosen female in the triumvirate and almost victim of Leo, meets Leo's half brother Lucien (Love that name!).
Lucien grew up in Romania, the "love child" of his mother and his and Leo's father. He comes to the US after his mother's death as a teen and is the 180 of Leo. While his mother suffered similar occurrences, Lucien is respectful, shy and deems himself less than deserving of a woman's love, as opposed to the other way around. Jesse deals with her own doubts on what to do and how to feel. This is how we treat victims of (potential)rape in our society: we blame the victim. It's not enough that Jesse also has to endure her sister Sallie's passive aggressiveness regarding their childhood and pseudo perfection of being 90% on her way to being a nun.
Here we have 2 sets of siblings. Within each set each brother/sister experiences something similar and deals with it in different ways. The point being that while you might be a product or victim of your surroundings and of society temporarily, you can choose whether or not to be a victim of it forever.
Upon Dorn's arrival he now tells Jesse and Lucien their union will help him fully enter the mortal plane. Lucien is hesitant at first. Asked if that's moral, since what Dorn wants goes against the church's stance against premarital sex his response is that the wedding is for the man. Ceremonies were to show everyone that a specific woman had been claimed. In modern terms 'off the market'. I did say he's kind of a blockhead, but think about that. Where do you think the giving away of the bride or the woman taking the guy's last name comes from? It's 2014: how many women STILL change their last names? Right. But I digress...
After Dorn's quadumvirate is finally formed the transference of his of angelic powers to the humans and vice verse has Dorn's pride hurt. He, just like Kassern had, experiences things that are foreign albeit unwanted of him.
Sallie who is now at the nunnery soon finds out that the so called nuns and the convent in which she is supposed to live are anything but Holy. The convent is not consecrated ground and is run by a Demon Over Lord and the nuns are-you guessed it-demonic creatures in disguise. Wolf in sheep's clothing anyone? Reminds me of a quote I saw recently: "Be careful who you trust-the Devil was once an angel..."
To complicate matters, Sallie is Dorn's chosen bride. This going to end well for the demon running that show? Probably not ;)
When finally done with the convent battle, Dorn must get Sallie to a consecrated ground to heal her but as part of Dorn's triumvirate Lucien is a key player. For most of the book he wasn't very useful, mainly because he saw himself as useless. He carries years of guilt from his childhood. Dorn tells him as a child he could not help his mother and now it's time to let it go. There's a saying Christians have. That is "lay your burdens down". It basically means put it in God's hands, because it's out of your human control. Lucien asks himself and Dorn why he should help God. "To save the world?" asks Lucien. "Yes, because you mean the world to God" responds Dorn.
Why, Lucien asks, would a good God allow those kinds of horrible things to happen to his mother. Don't we do that? Don't we ask how a benevolent and "just" God can simply allow horrible things to happen? Our human minds can't understand it. Perhaps we're not meant to? Or perhaps it's to bring us closer together rather than apart like what we've been going through century after century...
Lucien's tears bring everyone (Kassern and his triumverate and Dorn with his) together and Dorn tells Lucien that he, in fact, is the chosen one-not Leo. It is not due to Dorn's mistake or in Leo's stead, but because everything happens for a reason.
While Lucien used to have obligatory sex to make his brother happy, he now finds his own wife worthwhile. Let me touch on that for a second. Let me mention how sexist it is toward men that society treats them like they SHOULD behave a certain way (yeah, that behavior thing isn't limited to women). One brother did it out of revenge; one did it for acceptance. Same action-2 different reasons. There's that choice thing again.
Near the end we get introduced to the next angel to fall, Toren. His adopted pet-which they all seem to have yet it was never mentioned in Summon Kassern- seems to want to nurture the demon offspring of several kidnapped women. When asked why not kill the offspring since they're inherently evil Toren reminds his bother Archangels that humans are also inherently evil. And inherently good. It's what you DO that makes you one or the other. Sex, a gun, money, even a car can be used for good or evil. It's the choices you make that makes those things good or evil. Sensing that choice/free will theme yet?
I like that while the Archangels are fighting so are their triumvirates. The women are also fighters and no one is simply there just for the sake of being there...
Men have different ideas of perfect, and Dorn sees Sallie perfectly made for him. We are all made for someone. That's the idea. Says the Archangel Uriel, the head hancho/ dispatching Archangel "The Father has put Sempiternitas power is in all humans perhaps?" Yeah I had to look up the word, too. Translated to English it means going on and on without any interruptions. Example: the perpetual rise and fall of the sea. I.e. John Milton's "no man is an island". In other words, swallow your pride. While you may have choices, watch them because they have consequences and we're all in this together.

Do you enjoy a methodical man? Do you enjoy watching a methodical man’s plans come crumbling down? If you do, then you will fall for an angel-man named Dorn. This is the second book in the series of 12 where archangels are on a mission to thwart the plans of the devil and his evil followers.
I found the story of Dorn to be even more captivating that the first book, Summon Kassern. I found empathy for the Dorn as his OCD tendencies didn’t always work for him. His naivety of humanity and love made me want to hug him and stroke his cheek to sooth his bewilderment of why his plans didn’t always work out.
Dorn brings together two tormented souls who are infallibly perfect in their imperfect ways of being. Jessie is balance of clumsy softness and intelligence and strength she doesn’t know she even has. Jessie lets others take preference, but doesn’t allow herself to be walked over unless you have led her heart astray or are her sister. Lucian is a tormented soul bearing the burden of being fed stories of a loving father which is shattered by reality when he looked for the truth. He trusted blindly and had suffered the consequences silently through self torture.
Both Jessie and Lucian are perfect for each other as they form the lacking parts of one another to be a perfect hole.
Jessie carries with her a sister that blames everyone else for her situation because she doesn’t want to acknowledge it. For Sally it’s easier to lash out the mask the torture of her younger years than the accept what she could not control. Sally is a hard girl and selfish at times, to the point I wanted to double punch her in the throat.
She teaches Dorn the realities of being human, feeling human, wanting more and never having enough.
While I don’t want to play favourites, I have to say at this point Dorn is the best for me.
As with the first book, I was so surprised the level of enjoyment I had given that the subject matter isn’t exactly what I usually read. I can’t wait to read all 12 books.
The series isn’t repetitive have character types, how they act and thing, or how they enact some seriously heated sex scenes. What was good for Kassern isn’t good for Dorn...he has his own way and it’s different.
For those who can empathise with people with OCD you’ll be drawn to Dorn...for those who love to laugh or find humour in the reactions to plans that don’t work for people with OCD or control tendencies...you will love Dorn.

This book is absolutely amazing. The story is great. I love the good vs. evil with angels taking wives, urging humans to form bonds and all with humor and erotic scenes. I had a very hard time putting it down for even a minute. 'Summon Dorn, Archangels Creed' is book 2 in this series. It was as awesome, if not better than the first book. Well written. I can't wait to read Book 3. Definitely a must read. Highly recommended
July 6, 2013
I loved Dorn!!! I really think the blue angel is awesome and cool I love his humans.
July 24, 2013
Okay read. Definitely needed to be proof read a bit more. Confusion between characters occurred often throughout.
August 26, 2013
I liked how Dorn going into finding triumvirate that it would be so easy for him to resist human desires. Then to find out it wasn't so easy and began to understand. Another fabulous read!
November 13, 2013
Would have like a little more background on Lucien and Jess and more of them getting to know each other. Over all another huge hit in my opinion. Moving on to Toren now !!
October 29, 2014
Another great book. I loved the story, very intriguing. I look forward to reading the next one.
