Lucifer
A rare book specialist with a fractured past and no memory of her parents, Nadia Cummings arrives in Grimwich in search of ancient texts. What she doesn’t expect is to collide with a devastatingly handsome stranger who unsettles her at every turn. Soon, she’s swept into a deadly game between celestial warriors, unsure who to trust.
In a serendipitous twist of fate, Luc encounters the rarest of hybrids. A Triscelene. The only person outside his horde of daemons able to withstand his fiery touch. The moment he realizes what Nadia is, he makes a choice to protect her until he can recover The Book of the Unfinished, along with her knowledge of its secrets.
To safeguard his latest weapon, Luc must keep Nadia close. Unfortunately, her presence is seduction itself, making Luc long for what he’d forsaken centuries before. Still, her kiss tempts him to abandon every rule, and this time, his fall will be far more dangerous because loving her could ignite a war.
One thing is certain: if his Archangel brothers get to her first, they won’t spare her. And Lucifer will scorch Heaven, Hell, and everything in between to keep what’s his.
Lucifer is a fantasy romance with celestial intrigue, an immortal antihero, forced proximity, and all-consuming forbidden love. Fans of Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series may enjoy this story.

Absolutely brilliant, as ever. I'm totally caught in the Archangels web and can't wait to see where the story goes. Loved it

This is going to be such a fun series!!
Who knew archangels could be like this? T.M. Cromer that’s who!
Nadia thinks she is just another girl but boy is she wrong. Not only does she fall for the Devil but she finds out who she is.
Lucifer, the fallen archangel, has not been able to touch or be touched in centuries. Why can this woman do it? He knows why and resists… but only for so long.
This story is so fun and intriguing. It introduces characters and storylines for the books to come. You are gripped to continue reading and are chopping at the bit for the next one… or at least I am!
Well done! Very well done!!

She knocked it out of the park with this one. Using existing legends of angels and weaving a new and fascinating story that blew me away. Ive been looking forward to this book since I saw its announcement and am SO glad it lived up to what I hoped. Now to wait for the next one. Thankfully she has several others on the way in the meantime.

I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Absolutely Addictive, I Loved Everything About This Book
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
TM Cromer has a new series, Angels of Legend, out! In book 1, Lucifer, she focuses on the Angel of the “Underworld.” In this first book, she alters our view of Lucifer, by creating an anti-hero. In this version, we see Lucifer as a complex man, exuding humor and steam.
Cromer pulled me into this story almost immediately, and once I entered Luc and Nadia’s world, I really didn’t want to leave. The romance, mythology, danger, humor, and characters all came together in a way that kept me completely invested. This was one of those books where I kept telling myself I would read one more chapter, then suddenly realized I had read several.
Luc completely stole the show for me. He has all the darkness, arrogance, power, and danger you would expect from Lucifer, yet Cromer gives him so much more beneath the surface. I loved seeing the vulnerability behind all that confidence, especially as his relationship with Nadia developed. Their chemistry was one of my favorite parts of the book, and the tension between them felt natural rather than forced.
Nadia more than holds her own beside him. She has strength, intelligence, curiosity, and enough fire to stand up to Luc without ever disappearing into his shadow. I especially enjoyed watching the mysteries surrounding her past begin to connect with the larger celestial conflict. Every answer seemed to uncover another question, which kept me turning the pages.
The celestial mythology was another part I really enjoyed. Cromer takes familiar ideas about Lucifer, angels, demons, Heaven, and Hell, then makes them feel like her own. The rivalries, secrets, loyalties, ancient grudges, and family dynamics gave the story much more depth than I expected. I also loved that the humor appeared at just the right moments and kept the story from ever becoming too heavy.
More than anything, Lucifer gave me exactly what I wanted from a paranormal romance. I cared about the characters, believed in the romance, enjoyed the supernatural world, and stayed invested in the story from beginning to end. I finished Luc and Nadia’s journey completely satisfied, yet still wanting more from this world.
T.M. Cromer created a Lucifer worth falling for, and apparently I never stood a chance. I absolutely loved Lucifer. I can’t wait for the next book!

A new series from TM Cromer? Yes please.
There is a lot to recommend in this story. I liked the cleverly woven story, I enjoyed meeting the characters- even the baddies and the world building was paced so you learned as you went along. Lucifer was great. I liked the way he was portrayed not as the devil, but simply as someone who had questioned orders he did not believe in and was banished for his trouble. To be honest, he was a lot nicer than most of the angels - I'm looking at you Michael! Nadia was sweet, innocent and wholesome, until she wasn't. Don't make her angry! I liked their relationship, but have to admit, I found the constant sexual tension a little exhausting after a while - that's probably a me thing and not a reflection of the author's writing.
Turns out, this isn't really a standalone and we've going to have to wait for Gabriel's story or further to find out how it ends. Usually if there's a cliffhanger I will wait for the series to complete as I'm not a fan of unfinished stories 4*

This is the opening of a new series that T. M. Cromer has started. It's been a long awaited series owner from her which does not disappoint. The characters are well-written with those you love instantly and those you love to hate.
TMC hates cliff hangers but this is an unusual ending for her. Not a cliff hanger, but a promise of things to come which leaves me with a lot of anticipation for her next book, Gabriel.
Whist it's easy to work out some aspects of what the next 3 books will hold, TMC is anything but predictable. There are twists and turns in all of her books, including this one, that no-one sees coming. Bring on the next book.

Wow, just wow!!!! Showing Lucifer in a different light is totally unexpected. When Nadia enters his life, he is able to feel the touch of another being and love that he hadn't been able to do for centuries. But the Creator has other ideas to keep them apart along with Michael and Raphael. Gabriel is to teach Nadia per the Creator' s orders but he is beginning to question what happened in the past may of been a lie and with Luc' s help, they will try to unravel the past and more of the truth about Nadia and how her existence came to be. Can't wait for the next book in the Angels of Legend.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Lucifer by T.M. Cromer is a phenomenal romantic suspense with a heavenly twist. Or maybe a hellish twist. You can decide on your own. Luc(ifer) and Nadia's story is fast-paced and loaded with drama, suspense, intrigue, humor and sizzle. Totally loved this book and look forward to the next. Lucifer is book 1 of the Angels Of Legend Series.
I read an ARC copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book was thoroughly enjoyable. Once I started I had a hard time stopping-was late for an appointment too. Absolutely loved the humor, delighted in the way the angel angel was portrayed and was intrigued by the heroine’s story. Can’t wait for the next books as T.M.Cromer delivers stories that pull you in and grip your mind but leave you feeling satisfied every time. Would recommend

Such a good new series. I’m always so excited when something grabs me like this. It’s got slow burn romance family drama and so much more. I couldn’t put it down and now I have to wait patiently (not) for book 2. I will definitely be giving this a reread because I know I missed key parts as I was so hooked I was zooming through it. Next will be the slow and simmer read ❤️

Lucifer loved and hated
The story line was amazing, full of intrigue, passion and love. Who knew the devil could have such a soft side and did not want to start a war. However; the Creator was a douche bag and continues to be the cause of so much suffering. I did not like the ending but the cliffhanger was unexpected. Recommend this book

I hate when a T.M. Cromer book ends, and this one was no different! I tried to savor the story but it was so good and I moved faster than I thought I was going. These characters are amazing, gorgeous, and funny as hell. 😉 I'm excited for the next book!

I believe
I totally enjoyed this story. I could totally believe the story behind the history of the archangels and the way Ms cromer laid out the entire relationship between the brothers feels justified
Nadia is a beautiful soul and I want to be best friends with her

Interesting and Intricate
Another winner from the brilliant Cromer!
While this one did not grip me as quickly as others have, it has left me on the edge of my seat for the next one!
No spoilers... read it and find out why.
