Twelve Archangels. Twelve couples. Twelve months. Can they create the Holy Warriors needed to prevent the demon-spawned abominations from destroying the world?
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 Angel's training, and every milestone in the couple's relationship affects the triumvirate's strength. Who knew headaches and PMS could be such a pain in the ass?
Summon Kassern: How can Archangel Kassern get the World's Most Unlikely Couple - a preacher and a stripper - to fall in love and help him form the Holy Warrior? He's too busy dealing with annoying human traits he picks up along the way. Since when do archangels get hungry? Desperate to save her best friend, Karly, and herself from a life of prostitution, Devyn takes a chance when the preacher, Troy, offers escape. But someone offers Karly's boyfriend big money, and he can't let them go without a fight. Called by God to minister to prostitutes, Troy is careful not to get too close to his flock, though some of them would like to get close to him. Sworn to celibacy, he isn't even tempted, until he saves Devyn from an attacker and becomes embroiled in her desperate life. Can Kassern keep them all safe from Karly's psycho ex and whichever demon horde is onto their scent at the moment? Especially with the train wreck that is Karly along for the ride? Or will his new humanity put them all in even more danger?
Summon Dorn Perfectionist Archangel Dorn confidently steps forward to form the second team in the Archangels' Holy Warrior plan. Things go wrong from the beginning, but having Kassern witness his mistakes is worse than being teased for choosing a nun as his human partner. Fortunately, Archangels can learn from their mistakes. Jessie has the unfortunate habit of making a fool of herself whenever a good looking man is nearby. Devastatingly handsome Lucian seems able to look beyond that and puts her at ease right away, but is he as good as he looks? After a lifetime of pain, Lucian's heart is a closed door and he permits no one a peek inside, but Jessie blows the locks away. Will she cause him even more pain? Dutifully heading to the convent, Sally falls into a vipers' pit of evil. With no hope of rescue, she sets out to destroy the horror on her own, even if it means her death. Can Dorn put everything right again and snatch them all from the jaws of the most devastating evil to ever stalk the earth?
Kassern and Dorn have finished forming their triumvirates—oh wait, back up a minute—make that QUADumvirates. Kassern had some difficulty dealing with his new human appetites and ended up taking a wife. Commander Uriel has determined Kassern’s indiscretion upset the entire power balance. The only solution is for all the archangels to find wives.
And now it’s Toren’s turn. The formula: find his couple, unite them, then join with his own selected wife. But true to his mercurial nature, Toren does things his own way. In this instance, reverse. With his sights set on a lady rancher, he has his hands full studying to be a cowboy and hog-tying demons before he finds his human couple. Once he does, he’s saddled with a Rodeo Queen that thinks all men are from the devil and an arrogant foreign soldier that seems determined to prove her right. All that’s left is to get them to fall in love without killing each other before all hell breaks loose. He better pray for a miracle.
I will be honest, I didn't expect much from this box set, as I've had some free box sets before and they were not up to much. I am soooooooooo pleased to say, this was brilliant!

the problem comes when Kassern (the first Archangel to visit Earth) falls in love and mates as well! the Archangels aren't supposed to take a wife, and the following ones must also take a wife, making their units 4 instead of 3! none of the angels are too happy about it, and Kassern takes great pleasure in watching Dorn and Toren fall, and fall hard.
what I particularly like about these 3 books, as they are evolving, changing and growing. Kassern messed, yes, but Dorn and Toren's experience is different enough to make it interesting. Kassern took his wife AFTER his pair mated. Dorn could feel he pair mating. Toren wanted HIS wife BEFORE his pair had even met!
oh and not a single vampire or werewolf is mentioned!
there is violence and sex, lots of sex but its all so well written! the antics of the Archangels getting used to human things and words is amusing, and witty. their reaction to sex is quite sad, but also good. if that makes any sense!
there is a fourth book, and it has been added to my list. there is also another collection of short, add-on type stories, but I don't know if I will read those. I'd like to stick with the main books.
I got it for free in july, but currently £4.77 on amazon. worth it, in my opinion.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed all three books in this series. I’m ready for more. I want to find out what happens next. This is the type of series that sucks you in and keeps you aching for more. However, even though you want to learn more and find out what happens next, each book does tend to become repetitious.
I loved Kassern’s book. I loved the action and the romance in the book. I also loved the paranormal element. I love a good Angel story and am always looking for more. I loved the opposites attract aspect. A preacher and a stripper, a stripper and an archangel. It couldn’t get any better. A great start to a great new series.
Dorn is stubborn. He plans for his story to go a certain way. He’s got it all figured out. Now that they’re forming QUADumvirates instead of triumvirates, he’s got his people all picked out. I loved Dorn. He was so insistent that everything go according to plan. I loved that his feelings actually got involved. It showed that he wasn’t such a robot.
I loved Toren. I loved that he wanted to be a cowboy. He was perfect for Sam. I laughed at all his antics. Ezekiel broke my heart with the way he treated Skylar. I’m glad he finally saw the error of his ways and learned to appreciate Skylar.
Overall, these were wonderful stories. The only drawback I had was that by the third book it felt very repetitious especially in the love scenes.
Story Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Heat Rating: 5 out of 5
The Archangels Creed series is a different take on good versus evil, Angels versus demons. Warrior Archangels are sent to Earth to form triumvirates but end up making quadumvirates. The Angels have to find two compatible people to fall for each other and have sex to form an elite warrior to help them fight against the devils new threat. After thinking this was going to be an easy job the Angels found out, the hard way, that it wasn’t so easy after all. I would tell you more but that would spoil the fun.
To me each story starts off a bit slow but when the couples get together things start to explode. Each Angel is different: Kassern is the Ruby Warrior, Dorn is the Aquamarine Warrior and Toren is the Mercury Warrior. Each human that is picked for the quad is flawed, some more than others.
To me each story starts off a bit slow but build to explosion. Some of the characters are more likable than others, this includes the Angels. There are a LOT of sex scenes, some more intense than others. If you are against Angels having sex, wives or don’t like a ton of sex in your stories this series is not for you. A little more story mixed in with the intense sex and these, to me, would have been a 5 star stories. Over all I believe that the first three books of the Archangels Creed series was well written and engaging.
Wow.... I can not wait till the rest of the Archangels come out ... I was able to get the box set and I was hooked. Great job on the series and I will definitely be ready more from you ladies.
