Divinity Temptations
1. Ariella's Keeper
When his father threatens to take away his research facility's funding if he doesn't come home, Dr. Sebastjan Walter has no choice but to do so. This isn't just a family reunion. It seems his father has arranged a marriage--Sebastjan's. Seeing his chance to make one last final deal to get his father out of his life, he agrees to marry the off-plane woman. After seeing her, he can't help but think he's made the better bargain.
Ariella has been held prisoner by the Medical Supreme since he cured her of a childhood illness. Forced to stay in his home as his ward, she has no choice but to do whatever he wants. When he demands she marry his son, Ariella finds this is one order she might not mind obeying.
2. Seducing Cecilia
In a world obsessed with medical advancement, Dr. Gerard Fauchet longs for something more. When he's assigned as the liaison to an off-plane dignitary, he never imagined she'd be so stunningly beautiful, or so damned frustrating. One second she's kissing him, the next she's pretending nothing is between them. The passion is scorching, everything he ever dreamed of having with a woman. He'll make her admit she wants him--or die trying.
Dr. Cecilia Markos is keenly aware that she's been shoved through a portal to an alternate reality for one reason--to bring home medical advancements for the betterment of her people. Unfortunately, she only has two months to learn a world's complete medical knowledgebase. It's an impossible task made even more so by the distractingly handsome Gerard who she can't seem to keep her hands or her mind off of.
As things heat up between Gerard and Cecilia, the clock is ticking, and the time for seduction is running out.
3. Linnea's Arrangement
Beautiful, highly intelligent Linnea Nel wants what most women want--a career, love, respect. But coming from a plane where order and all things anti-chaos reign, the untrackable, untraceable and highly rebellious Linnea is considered a threat--to her family, society and her world. When her numerous arrests for reading library books become a public embarrassment to her politically minded sister, Linnea is forced on a dignitary mission to an alternate reality.
There are only two classifications of people on plane 187: Doctors and Not Doctors (Sans). Dr. Sam Swift is one of the highest ranking officials on the medical plane, answering only to the Medical Supreme. When the Medical Supreme becomes ill, it's up to him to find a cure. Nowhere in this equation is there room--or time--to fall in love. And then he meets the exquisitely frustrating Sans Linnea Nel.
In the midst of the worst outbreak 187's society has faced in decades, two people who never should have met fall in love. How can Linnea stay where she may be in danger? But how can Sam let the love of his life go?

BOOK 1 = Ariella's Keeper:
This book is smokin. It also has tragedy & a truly devious act. It really was a sad BUT great story with a wonderful HEA.
This is Ariella & Sebastian's story with his despicable dad, Walter, being a key component.
***SPOILERS***
I'm gonna keep this short because you need to listen for yourself.
Ariella is a young woman who looses not only her family but ultimately her home planet and then her freedom.
Walter, the most despicable villain, kept Ariella prisoner but in a more devious way. An illness that he created. He happily gets what's coming to him in the end.
Sebastian, Walter's son, dislikes his dad as much as Ariella but unbeknownst to him, when he is ordered home, it's for his own arranged marriage to Ariella. They actually started to care for one another & when Sebastian learned of what his father had done......let's just say he was mad.
Michelle M Pillow does it again with another great story!
BOOK 2 = Seducing Cecilia:
Michelle M Pillow's imagination knows no bounds and me as a reader am very thankful for that.
Dr. Cecilia from the New Order Society reality & Dr. Gerard from the "sterilized medical" reality (I have no idea how to spell the reality name. Sorry.) are the stars in this story.
First off, the New Order Society sounds horrible. You need written consent between to people for everything....even before you can do something so simple as giving someone a kiss. I don't even think you can hold hands. Plus, as children they are tattooed with a number on their foot and microchiped. The microchip isn't just for location tracking, it tracks Every aspect of their lives, even as adults. The only exception is Cecilia's assistant during the medical research mission. Her body chemistry shorts out the microchips. As such she breaks the rules/laws multiple times. I won't tell you which ones so you have to listen to find out but it's a doozie.
Dr. Gerard is to be the guide for Dr. Cecilia and her assistant but he isn't too thrilled at the prospect but he knows to be professional. That is until he sees Dr. Cecilia for the first time. He was totally and completely awestruck and his professionalism doesn't last long. In fact, it only lasts until he gets her alone outside the hospital. He's a fast mover. Cecilia being where she's from is so rigid and use to consent forms and "anti-chaos" that she eventually slaps him. She is attracted to him she just doesn't know about his reality rules & hers are so ingrained in her. That all changes for Cecilia about halfway through the transport ride when she wakes too early. She panics a bit and forces Gerard awake. This causes him to grumble about the remaining 2 hour ride. Really?? Yep, 2 hours. What a grump right? Well, Cecilia does a great job of taking his mind off of the remaining ride. (wink wink). She actually said it must have been his pheromones, hurting his feelings a bit, and wants them to be only professional when they arrive at the research center. When Gerard honors her wishes, her feelings get hurt and she kinda acts like a brat. I literally wanted to smack the back of her head.
Once at the research center, Cecilia is very surprised to find that nature is completely blocked out by walls and a dome. The researchers even wear bio hazard suits when outside the wall to collect specimens from the forest. Talk about overkill. This reality is almost as constricting as the New Order Society reality. Cecilia and her assistant are suppose to be there for 2 months to find a new medical advancement for her reality however, it seems they speak the same language but don't write the same language. This causes the process to go very slowly to only find out she found the cure for........(it's too funny to spoil. Listen to the audiobook to find out.) At the end of the first month we find out that Cecilia hasn't even left the 3 places in the center she was shown on the 1st day. The place is huge but she just didn't know if she was allowed to explore and experience her environment. That reality of hers really did a number on her. Fun fact: Cecilia did loosen up around Gerard and in private, they didn't stay professional very long. 😉
But she still can't wait to get home back to her regular life.
In enters the "Medical Supreme," and his mystery illness which is unheard of in the medical reality. Due to this he mandates that the portal be closed indefinitely. The New Order Society anti-chaos mindset are not having that and demands the women return in 2 weeks. This unfortunately turns into a political tug of war with the women and ends up having an effect.....(I won't say but it does end in a happy tearful twist!)
Oh, and I want a transport so bad. I mean type in coordinates get spritzed with sleeping gas and wake up at your destination. Who wouldn't want one.
This is a wonderful sequel to Ariella's Keeper with another interesting reality. This is definitely 10 star worthy!
BOOK 3 = Linnea's Arrangement:
This is the last of The Divinity Healers trilogy & as per usual with Michelle M Pillow's books, this does not disappoint.
This is Linnea & Sam's story. If you read Seducing Cecilia, we were introduced to Linnea & her backstory in that book. The poor woman was a pariah & criminal on her world simply because her body chemistry won't allow her to be tracked & she read books in the library. Just barbaric & sad.
An assistant assignment is forced on her & unbeknownst to her, it leads to the best place for her. Planet 187. And to the love if her life, Sam. Oh and let's not forget about (as I call him) "Supreme A$$" and the mysterious illness. Does it become contagious? Was it made in a lad and purposely given? Do Sam and the team fing a cure? Well, you'll just have to listen to the audiobook to find out.
It's super hot & sexy, full of mystery & intrigue, a HEA plus easily listen in one sitting
With a Michelle M Pillow's storytelling abilities you shouldn't hesitate to buy the boxset with one click. Hurry up. Go on, you know you want to.

"This man was chaos. She was about control."
Ariella's Keeper (Divinity Healers, #1)
Ariella was brought to this plane to cure an ailment she’s lived with her entire life… a life with her family, fun, and happy memories. Now she’s alone on another plane — and a twist of fate has left her healthy, and unable to safely return home.
Sebastjan thinks he knows his father and the depths he’ll sink to, but it turns out there’s more to his father, and his machinations than even Sebastjan realized. Now he’s left trying to figure out how to put his foot down, what Ariella’s role in things is, and if Sebastjan is the principled healer he believes himself to be — or just his father’s son.
This done in one book has some interesting world building, and a compelling medical mystery, making for a page turner of a read.
Seducing Cecilia (Divinty Healers #2)
"The only way to cure logic is by doing something illogical.”
Cecilia comes from a plane where logic, control and order rule. Chaos is effectively illegal.
Gerard is a doctor with a wicked smile, a charming demeanor, and just a bit of a devil in him... and he wants to see Cecilia embrace whatever it is that's between them, even if it is just a fling.
This done in one story stands well on its own, while being tied tied to the previous book in a few ways. I love the exploration of how fear can lead to excessive precautions, and the blurring if the line between health/medicine and treating everything outside set parts as a symptom in need of treatment or medication.
Linnea's Arrangement (Divinity Healers, #3)
"They couldn’t risk educating her. So she’d educated herself."
Linnea is from a plane that cherishes control and organization. Where Chaos is effectively illegal someone who can't be monitored can only be feared.
Sam is a Doctor, his first instinct is to heal, his second instinct to care, but does he know how to be in a relationship, much less with an intelligent woman?
This done in one book closes out this trilogy which has a low key overarching arc which comes to a satisfying conclusion here.
Linnea is a great example of someone determined to believe in herself, even when society stands in her way, and everyone around her is saying variations of no and can't or shouldn't be done.
Sam, for his part, is discovering that just as it seems everyone on his plane has an agenda, there are surprises in dealing with people from other cultures/planes, and smart as he is, he still has a few lessons to learn.
I was gifted with a copy of the Complete Divinity Healers Series and chose to share my thoughts.

No need for a prescription!
Michelle is the cure! This box set covers the three books in the Divinity Healers series. What a series it is! I completely loved each book and how they intersect, relate & combine into one FANTASTIC series! (please see my facebook page for full review)
Ariella’s Keeper (Divinity Healers book 1) - Captive. Prisoner. No escape. 5 stars
The universe lined up and she understood. AWWWWW! I LOVED this story!! There are so many extremes like cold, sterile, nasty, offset by warmth, sweet & truth. I thoroughly adored Ariella and my heart broke for her...until Sebastjan comes along and then I was totally envious of her!! Thankfully Sebastjan is NOT like his father! Supreme Walter is one horrible person and rather without morals for someone who is Medical Supreme! But of course, different planes have different ideals, among other things. I loved the pace of this story, how it played out, as well as all of the creative thought that went into making this such an addictive read! Michelle certainly has a way with words! The tech, the medical aspects, the whole idea of different planes, worlds, etc. is interwoven so perfectly making this a unique & HOT story that you do not want to miss out on! Once again Michelle has shown yet another side to her phenomenal talent, adding further proof – as if you need any! - that every single one of her stories is a perfectly flawless, sparkly gem worth keeping & reading over & over for many years to come! Who knew that Michelle M. Pillow meant “Midas Touch” in reader-ese! Michelle M. Pillow, Author of All Things Romance™ - that says it all!
Seducing Cecilia (Divinity Healers Book 2) - This man was chaos. She was about control. 5 stars
She was locked in a box with his pheromones. She wanted nothing more than to tear off his clothes and go for a round two…and three…and four…and… (and the problem is...? Oh right! You are there to 'work')! Another fantastic story by Michelle!! This one has so many great features like characters that are easy to love, mysteries to ponder, hotness to melt the frostiness, anxiety, nerves and most anything caught in their path. I love all of the creativity from the humor to the seriousness, the different ways of the people like the histories, the laws, rules & customs, the contrast of the two different planes like their different views on relationships, - one is all rigid and controlled while the other is almost the complete opposite. All of that and more are the very reasons that this story as well as the other 2 books in this series, are so unique and captivating! Of course, this all works together so perfectly because of Michelle & her phenomenal wealth of talent! No matter how many of her books I have read, I am still in awe of Michelle's ability to write so many fantabulous stories across a variety of subjects, story lengths, heat levels, etc. With each one I am enchanted, enthralled & thoroughly captivated from the front cover to the back. I am held in the story's grasp until the very end, connected with the characters, experiencing right along with them, happily, contentedly & excitedly living the story as if it was MY story, enthusiastically devouring it word by word, line by line, chapter by chapter. As per usual, my only complaint is when I reach those two little words most hated by readers everywhere - THE END. Thankfully you not only get a ton of story powered by a terrific storyline or two, but you will always have another book to lose yourself in. After all she is Michelle M. Pillow, Author of All Things Romance™
Linnea’s Arrangement (Divinity Healers book 3) - He imagined this was what destiny felt like. 5 stars
AWESOME! Man-oh-man did I ever love this one! I love the humor, the hotness and of course...the romance! Linnea is one great character who I just couldn't help feeling for her! I wanted to give her big hugs and become her friend because she so desperately needs one. Sam is a character that I was intrigued with from the other books, but of course we don't know much about him until now. I have to say that Linnea is lucky to have met him first, otherwise I would have snagged him myself! LOL This is definitely my favorite one of the three, but that's not to say I didn't like the others! I think it was mostly because of the ending in this one. It’s actually quite beautiful and with oh so very much irony and a huge spoonful of justice brought the three books together for this terrific ending that sweetened the series to a level of perfection that so very few authors can achieve, and yet Michelle is able to do just that so flawlessly & effortlessly, time and again! I love how Linnea's and Cecilia's stories start together, cover the same time period, intersect periodically but yet are actually two different stories. It's cool to get each characters perspective on the shared scenes or situations. Michelle is aces at being able to tell the same scene(s) and/or story from multiple viewpoints & perceptions while at the same time keeping it so enjoyable & interesting!! Okay, let’s be honest, Michelle can write about almost anything and make it interesting & enjoyable! Although that's a more than just a bit misleading! Michelle's books are oh so very much more than "just" interesting & enjoyable - they are fantabulous, sweet, romantic, addicting, engrossing, hot, funny, touching, intense, passionate, just to give you a rough idea! After all, Michelle is THE Author of All Things Romance™!!
Michelle is the cure! This box set covers the three books in the Divinity Healers series. What a series it is! I completely loved each book and how they intersect, relate & combine into one FANTASTIC series! (please see my facebook page for full review)

You are there to 'work')! Another fantastic story by Michelle!! This one has so many great features like characters that are easy to love, mysteries to ponder, hotness to melt the frostiness, anxiety, nerves and most anything caught in their path. I love all of the creativity from the humor to the seriousness, the different ways of the people like the histories, the laws, rules & customs, the contrast of the two different planes like their different views on relationships, - one is all rigid and controlled while the other is almost the complete opposite. All of that and more are the very reasons that this story as well as the other 2 books in this series, are so unique and captivating! Of course, this all works together so perfectly because of Michelle & her phenomenal wealth of talent! No matter how many of her books I have read, I am still in awe of Michelle's ability to write so many fantabulous stories across a variety of subjects, story lengths, heat levels, etc. With each one I am enchanted, enthralled & thoroughly captivated from the front cover to the back. I am held in the story's grasp until the very end, connected with the characters, experiencing right along with them, happily, contentedly & excitedly living the story as if it was MY story, enthusiastically devouring it word by word, line by line, chapter by chapter. As per usual, my only complaint is when I reach those two little words most hated by readers everywhere - THE END. Thankfully you not only get a ton of story powered by a terrific storyline or two, but you will always have another book to lose yourself in. After all she is Michelle M. Pillow, Author of All Things Romance™
Linnea’s Arrangement (Divinity Healers book 3) - He imagined this was what destiny felt like. 5 stars
AWESOME! Man-oh-man did I ever love this one! I love the humor, the hotness and of course...the romance! Linnea is one great character who I just couldn't help feeling for her! I wanted to give her big hugs and become her friend because she so desperately needs one. Sam is a character that I was intrigued with from the other books, but of course we don't know much about him until now. I have to say that Linnea is lucky to have met him first, otherwise I would have snagged him myself! LOL This is definitely my favorite one of the three, but that's not to say I didn't like the others! I think it was mostly because of the ending in this one. It’s actually quite beautiful and with oh so very much irony and a huge spoonful of justice brought the three books together for this terrific ending that sweetened the series to a level of perfection that so very few authors can achieve, and yet Michelle is able to do just that so flawlessly & effortlessly, time and again! I love how Linnea's and Cecilia's stories start together, cover the same time period, intersect periodically but yet are actually two different stories. It's cool to get each characters perspective on the shared scenes or situations. Michelle is aces at being able to tell the same scene(s) and/or story from multiple viewpoints & perceptions while at the same time keeping it so enjoyable & interesting!! Okay, let’s be honest, Michelle can write about almost anything and make it interesting & enjoyable! Although that's a more than just a bit misleading! Michelle's books are oh so very much more than "just" interesting & enjoyable - they are fantabulous, sweet, romantic, addicting, engrossing, hot, funny, touching, intense, passionate, just to give you a rough idea! After all, Michelle is THE Author of All Things Romance™!!

I was given an ebook for an honest review Divinity Healers is another boxed set about the Alternate realities and the people that come from Plane 187 The Medical Supreme Walters is the most important person on this plane except for The Divinity Corporation he manipulates his son and his ward into marriage in Ariella's story but they manage to survive his evil plans. In Cecila's story she is a doctor that has been sent from Plane 303 to Plane 187 with the intention of gathering medical information that will help her planet in the future of curing diseases she from a place where chaos is against the law her assistant was sent there as a punishment for her part in breaking the law Dr Cecila's DeMarkos's attitude is very uptight she doesn't want this opportunity to jeopardize her future so she is trying to hard when she meets and falls in love Dr Girarde Fauchet by the time they get to the biolab they know that they are attracted to each other even if it takes him a while to get her to admit it because they both know that nothing can ever become of it because neither doctor wants to leave their plane permanently. In Linnea's story she has a problem on her Plane 303 and she comes as assistant to Dr DeMarkos to Plane 187 all she wants to do is to read all the medical information that she can get her hands on then she can go home and become a doctor because she will know more than most of the other doctors but the problem is within her body and when she meets Dr Sam Swift Director of the Hospital Center he ignores her and seems to be disgusted when he sees her hair is purple wandering if her other hair is purple too so when he has to show her where to change her papers for dr DeMarko to a clip board she tells him about her problem and he takes her to an exam room and unprofessionally has her remove her clothes so that he can exam her and she of course knows what he is up to because she only has to step into a machine and she lets it pass because she has more than a mild attraction for the doctor and he for her but he will not show her any respect but she is smart and beautiful and by the time they get to the biolab where they will be working she makes him realize that she should be treated as any other doctor he will come to terms with her intelligence and the fact that she is everything he wants in a woman Linnea finds out that something is going on and that she is not going to let anything come stop her or Dr DeMarko from going home so Sam has to tell her about the virus and that it could keep them from going home but her government is not happy and is threatening Dr Lu who tells Dr Sam that both women are to go back even though Medical Supreme is suppose to get Linnea as his new ward. Sam loves her and cannot see letting her be with Medical Supreme Walter but decides to send them both back in the next two weeks or maybe he will think of something else. I think this was a pretty good boxed set. Characters were well written .

I loved this series and getting to read everyones story and watching them fall for each other. These stories are packed with humor, steamy sex scenes, romance, smart-mouthed characters, and it was just a fun quick read. All of the characters were likable, but of course some more than others. Overall I was really grateful that I was able to read about these awesome characters. I love how Michelle Pillow ties so many of her books together :) Oh and did I mention that the men in these stories are just as yummy as her other characters (yummy and in lab coats :D:D ) Who says science can't be sexy?
Ariella's Keeper- A fun, erotic, and quick read. I enjoyed reading Sebastjan and Ariellea's story. I loved their chemistry and how they seemed to fit together from the get go. They had a passion, not only physical, and it was nice to read about characters who had more going for their relationship other than lustful desires but also humor, disdain, and other great qualities. The Divinity series are all connected in some way and for that I was glad to see Lillith and Sorin from Staria (Lillith Enraptured: Divinity Warriors book) in this book.
steamy, romantic, humorous, and quite erotic with fun characters
Seducing Cecilia- The only way to cure logic is by doing something illogical right? This book was a fun and short read full of logical and illogical actions by the characters, which made for a nice story. We were introduced to Cecilia and Gerard in the first book and I have to say, the short meeting had me anxious to read Gerard's story. I liked him and Cecilia together and enjoyed reading how that took place. With that being said, I have to say, I can't put my finger on it but Cecilia was not a favorite character for me. I liked that she was not perfect, that she had flaws as well as the other heroines. I liked her well enough but that's pretty much as far as it went for me. My favor for Gerard did not waver. Overall I thought their story was cute, erotic, and an enjoyable read.
Linnae's Arrangement- anarchy and chaos!! A fun short read. I must admit I enjoyed this book a little more than I did the second. I simply liked Linnae and her attitude. Intelligent and a bit of a spitfire. I loved her and Sam together, reading their story, and the wrapping up of the three books. This story like the others were full of humor, steamy sex scenes and just fun. I also enjoyed getting to read a little about Sebastjan and Ariella.
Overall this was an enjoyable read ☺

We are back to the world of alternate realities. I love Michelle Pillow's books and how she draws you in. Ariella is the Medical Supreme's "ward" since her family died on her home plane. Really she has been held captive and given a disease that only he can cure. Dr Sebastjan Walter is the Medical Supreme's son and feels like he is always under his father's control. Which is why he lives as far away as possible. When his father demand's his presence and cuts his funding to make it happen. He finds out he is to be married. It is a quick but fun read.
Cecilia comes from a realm of Order. She hates chaos of any kind. She is given 2 months to learn everything she can of 187's medical knowledge. Dr. Gerard Fauchet loves everything not medical. He is interested in other planes and their custom's. He is the exact opposite of Cecilia and everything she knows. There is instant chemistry between the two of them. They fall for each other and want to stay together...but can they when she has to fulfill her duty and go back to her home plane? I would recommend reading the series in order but it is great on its own.
Linnea is shunned by her world due to her body not allowing them to implant a tracker on her. Her world is all about order and not being able to be tracked is chaos and not accepted. She dreams of becoming a doctor but that is not in the cards for her on her planet because she is an outlaw by default. She is extremely intelligent and is able to learn many of plane 187's secrets while there with Cecilia to show her worth and maybe become a doctor. Dr Sam Swift is only second to the Medical Supreme. When he becomes sick Sam is charged with finding a cure. When they meet she finds him arrogant but is instantly attracted to him. Michelle ends the series beautifully.

The series is a complete story for three sets of characters. Although each book stands alone, the time is concurrent, the destination location is the same for all. Ms Pillow does a great job of introducing the story, how they connect with the other characters in the complete set.
The different places they are from and have ended up in are interesting in more than looks, such as how medicine is treated in each location. Each home plane has a different view on the medicine they use and how it controls them.
In the first book, the control is more dastardly but still it controls their lives for all of them. The stories are steamy, did I say steamy, the characters unique and the reads good each and every one.
A recommend from me.
I was provided an ARC for an honest review.

Somewhat lacking
I did read the whole book which means that it isn't a total loss. This book is definitely not at a loss for sex, whether it is being thought about, dreamed about, talked about, or even acted upon. The problem I had with this book was the plot or rather the lack thereof. When reading fantasy/sci-fi I don't expect the pop the plot to be predictable but unfortunately this one was.

This series is great. Three doctors find love with women from off planet who come through their portal. There is a power struggle with the political factions that they have to deal with but they make it through it all and find love.
I was given this series by the author for an honest review in my own words. I was not compensated in any way.

I initially read each of these stories individually and loved all 3, so when I found the box set I thought it was a great idea to take all three stories and put them together for easier reading. My favorite of the box set is the final story, Linnea's Arrangement, but all of the stories are really good quick reads. I can't wait to see what the next series will be!
