Trinity Stones
*** This is the ‘Adapted for Young Adult Reader’ version of TRINITY STONES (The Angelorum Twelve Chronicles #1) ***
Angel Paranormal Romantic Suspense / Urban Fantasy. First book in a four-part series. No cliffhangers.
Anxiety-ridden New York investment banker, Cara Collins, has little to smile about on her 27th birthday between a hostile work environment and her impossible romantic situation with her longtime friend and first love, Dr. Kai Solomon. But before the day ends, she learns she has inherited $50 million—a windfall that must remain secret or risk the lives of those close to her.
As Cara unravels the truth surrounding her inheritance, she makes a startling discovery: angels walk among the living, and they’re getting ready to engage in a battle that will determine the future of the human race. In the midst of these revelations, she meets mysterious and sophisticated Simon Young, who offers her the promise of romance for the first time since Kai.
But when Kai and his daughter are kidnapped by dark forces, Cara must choose: accept her place in a 2,000-year-old prophecy foretold in the Trinity Stones as the First of the Twelve who will lead the final battle between good and evil . . . or risk losing everything she holds dear.

I originally signed up for this tour because I love paranormal romance, but because this one involved demons, angels and everything in between. For the second book in a row, I loved all of the characters. Cara is sadly still in love with Kai and she feels such a connection to him that nobody else understands. Even after he gets married and has a child with his wife, the feeling is mutual. Then all of a sudden everything changes because as it turns out, Cara is a millionaire with strings and her entire life changes in that she's a soul seeker. Not to mention? She's part of a trinity with her guardian and a messenger. She meets the messenger soon enough and they become fast friends. The guardian... well the guardian turns out to be really attractive Simon (also known as Chamuel). She doesn't know he's her guardian though and therein lies the big gasp. As it turns out? Guardians are expressly prohibited to feel any kind of romantical way towards their trinity let alone a different species. Oh yes, because gorgeous Simon is Nephil so he's a half human/half angel hybrid formed in an immaculate conception, and poor Cara is just a lame human.
And then all hell breaks loose and we get a really great ending and a ridiculous teaser for the next book! I knew this was the first in a series yet to come but I wasn't invested right off the back. Give me 10 chapters in (they are rather short) and I'm chomping at the bit for all of the next books. Also? As the first book in a series, I would like to think these are notoriously difficult to write because you have to give readers just enough information to keep them invested, but not too much where they can tell you where this series is going to go. I have no idea where this is going to go but you feel satisfied that you have learned a good portion of the base information. And for as much information that was given, you don't feel overwhelmed or that you're going to need to have a notebook handy just to remember the stuff. You just absorb it as quickly as Cara does.
I will say, what in the mother hell is happening with Michael and Sienna? I feel like Michael and his bizarre, unknown past is going to be key in a future book. Mostly because toward the end it was mentioned that the power of love would be key in the epic battle and right away, I thought of Michael and his bizarre behavior. So I'll be interested to see where this is going. I absolutely loved L.G. Connor's writing, I loved this story, and now I can't even wait. Poor Matt was woken up at 2:45 this morning so I could give him a recap and he clearly doesn't care. He never cares about my fantastic stories in the middle of the night.
I'm telling you right now that this would make a really fun summer read. Or a I'm-too-lazy-to-start-gardening read. You'll love it.

I'm so excited to have the opportunity to release this new edition of TRINITY STONES for young adult readers which includes a glossary, BONUS material from the upcoming series prequel novella, HOPE'S PRELUDE (The Angelorum Twelve Chronicles #2,5), and a very special offer for readers of only this edition.
Originally written for my three teenage nieces, I've taken the time to re-edit the manuscript without materially changing the story. This version has been adapted for readers age 13+, and for adults who desire profanity-free text and love scenes appropriate for a YA audience.
With that, welcome to the world of the Angelorum! Journey forth in peace and love...

Well worth a try.
I'm not a ya. Reader but this book is worth a try. I know you will like it. It has paranormal in it and what more do I have to say.

Thrilled to have won this book on Goodreads! Thank you so very much L.G. O'Connor!! I can hardly wait to receive Trinity Stones! Looking forward to reading. I will update and post an honest review when I receive and am able to read it.
UPDATE: 12/4/2015
Just finished reading Trinity Stones this weekend. First, let me say THANK YOU SO MUCH to both Goodreads for the book, and then to L.G. O’Connor for the wonderful read! I love fantasy books about angels, demons, and the battle between good vs. evil so I had very high hopes going in and fortunately I wasn’t disappointed! Trinity Stones kept my attention throughout.
I won't post spoilers (as they ruin a book for me), so I will just give you the sneak peek: On her 27th birthday Cara receives an inheritance. When she attempts to find the truth surrounding her 50 million dollar inheritance, she makes a startling discovery: angels walk among the living, and they’re getting ready to engage in a battle that will determine the future of the human race.
I am so glad I received this book. The imaginary world and characters completely draw you in. I stayed caught up in the story to the very end. If Trinity Stones was meant to capture the eternal struggle of good and evil and the occasional need to bend the rules then the author has very much succeeded, as I really felt a connection to the characters, both good and evil, which is how I grade a novel. Good reads needs to put half marks up as I found the book to be a 4.5. Definite must read for fantasy fans! I am very much looking forward to the next journey with L.G. O’Connor.
