One angel to bind you, one angel to save you. Sky Heavensent, an angel of death, is charged with the collection of souls of the recently departed. Known to his peers and immediate supervisor, the archangel Gabriel, as the liability, Sky puts his heart and soul into everything he does. When he meets Caleb Pierce, Sky is immediately smitten. The problem is Caleb is the soul he came to earth to harvest, and saving him means breaking one of the most sacred angelic directives. Already in too deep, Sky pushes aside the consequences and follows his heart. Danger and mayhem follow, but he will do everything in his power to protect his lavender-eyed man.

Lavender Fields By Natalina Reis

 

Lavender Fields By Natalina Reis is a paranormal romance story about  love at first sight and the struggles that come with it.I absolutely loved this book, the author drew me in from the beginning and held my full attention to the end. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. At some points I was on the edge of my seat. Natalina did a amazing job with creating characters that flowed and kept my attention till the end. This story is about  Sky and Caleb.

Sky is a angel of death and his job is to collect the souls of the recently departed.He puts his heart and soul into everything he does but his boss finds him to be a liability to not only him but his friends. When he first meets Caleb it's his eyes that does something to him and it was definitely love st first sight.When sky realizes that it's Caleb soul he's supposed to get,he has a decision to make. But to save him he'd be breaking the angelic directives.Sky realizes that he's in over his head with this one and decides to follow his heart.What will happen to Sky and Caleb?

Caleb and Sky's relationship  is love at first sight but it's more than that.Caleb is human where sky is a angel,but they form a bond that's strong.Sky is independent and strong and his attitude of not caring about what's others think is what I loved about his character. Caleb is not as strong  but he knows what he wants.

They both are not sure how the other feels.I thought all the characters were wrote very good. I have read a couple other books by this author and she never seizes to amaze me with her writing skills.i loved the journey she took us on with this book.i would definitely recommend this book. I look forward to reading more from her.

Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis is paranormal romance story about love at first sight and the struggles that follow. This story will make you laugh, have compassion, suspense and of course romance. I love this author's stories as they are creative and engaging. Her ability to create characters that pop right of the page make the story can't put it down type book. They are connectable and they will pull you right into their world. You will need to see what happens to them and you will just plain fall in love with them. The author's attention to detail in this book is both creative and attention grabbing. Find out what happens to these characters as they start a discovery of friendship and love.

Sky Heavensent is a angel of death, his job is to collect the souls of the recently departed. He is known as a liability to his boss and friends, he puts his heart and soul in everything he does. When he meets Caleb Pierce, it is love at first sight. What will happen when he realizes that Caleb's soul is the one he is supposed to harvest? To save him, he would be breaking the most sacred angelic directives. Already feeling that he is in way to deep he chooses to not think of the consequences but go with his heart. Danger and mayhem follow but he does everything he can to protect his lavender eyed man.

Sky and Caleb's relationship is one that is a little different. It is love at first sight but yet there is something more to it. Caleb is human and Sky is an angel but they seem to have formed a connection, a bond. When Sky decides to throw out the consequences, will it bring more danger to him and Caleb? Caleb was supposed to die but it that really his fate? Sky is a very strong character in this book. He is gorgeous and is pretty independent. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, he just wants to do what is right. He leads his life by his heart and not always with his head. Caleb in my opinion is not as strong. He seems to know what he wants but he is really overly protective of his sister which can be a good thing and bad. Both, Sky and Caleb are not sure what the other feels for the other. You just want to shake them and tell them to wake up and see. The secondary characters in this book are good and bad. You love some and hate others. Caleb's sister is funny, outgoing and not afraid of anything really. She is the spunky teenager and I think you will love her. All the characters seem to connect to each other and really make the story flow.

I am not sure how many of Natalina Reis's books I have read but this has to be one of my favorite of hers. I can't wait to see what else she has for us next! Natalina lives in Virginia where she spends her days teaching English as a second language to elementary children. She wrote her first story at the age of 13 and she ventured with other genes but romance is the one she always comes back to. When she is not writing she spends her time with her husband and two adult sons. Once again, this author has given me a journey that left me wanting more. I love that about her books, I never know where the book will take me until I open the cover. This book is a fast paced story that will keep you engaged until the end. I couldn't put it down until the last page. I enjoyed the twists and turns that I didn't see coming and I know you will too. I highly suggest this book as I know you will love this book as much as I have.

This book contains unsignposted torture. First-person, almost life destabilising torture. Fuck the author for that alone. If you are including torture use warnings. Now let regular service resume...
Angels are—well, angels. Yes, there are males and females, but there’s no such thing as a straight or gay angelic creature. We were made to love, and love has no gender. - Sky Heavensent

Lavender Fields starts off a breakneck pace. Sky and Caleb meet and fall instantly. Circumstances force them apart when they met again Caleb no longer remembers Sky. Honestly, that worked for me. For all his angelic gifts Sky is very human, he feels deeply and his clumsy as all get out. He's relatable like that. Caleb has insane eyes. I can't even with those eyes.

I like the angel lore. I've read similar demon lore but not angel lore. It humanises them a bit lowers them from their perfect and holy pedestal. Even if it is quite a simplistic black vs white paradigm but its short so non-arduous world and plot building is fine.

For the love of all things good in this world will authors please use warnings. This book contains torture. Written in first person perspctive ending in the evisceration of a character's identity. To not signpost that in any way shape or form is unforgivable. But for those who read to escape who are survivors of torture or physical violence, this could be triggering and you don't expect it from a book with angels heavily focused on. And problematically torture is more explicit than the physical intimacy (and that is not well written she lacks even a basic understanding of mm sex. But at least it was safe sex. I guess? It was deeply unsatisfying.).

2 stars the fact that I actually enjoyed the book and can see why torture was used saves it from being a one. I don't know what this would have been without the unsignposted torture, it was easy to read with short well-named chapters, but it did remind me of fanfic a bit. Poorly executed romance but interesting characters. I like Sky and Caleb and Caleb's sister (she's adorable and makes me smile), even the baddie is quite good.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from the M/M Romance Group's DBML program.
The book is very well written and easy to read. I was able to create a connection with Sky right away. He seemed to me like he messes up quite a bit which would be unexpected for an angel but works very well for the story. I also like how he relates to Caleb. Characterization for both MCs could have used a little bit more work. If we knew more about both Sky and Caleb, it would have been easier to relate to both and remain interested throughout the story. I also felt that the story itself could have used some structure. While the plot does move along quite smoothly, there are some scenes particularly in the middle of the story that were unnecessary.
But Reis does create a character that is strong and extremely well developed; Caleb's sister Joan. She does a great job moving this story forward. I just wish the author would have crafted Sky and Caleb like she did Joan.
Anyway, I always love paranormal romances and Lavender Fields was not bad. I give it 3 stars because while the story was great, the delivery was not so great and the characterization could have used some work.

3.7 stars A fast paced story that started good, and told from Sky's POV. Includes love at first sight, danger and some horrible scenes, mystery and love. I liked Joan but oh boy she's a trooper for swear words lol. I felt some missing pieces of the story weren't included which wouldve made the story better. Also missing Caleb's thoughts into the story was needed. A good story with an okay ending.

Sky fell to earth but forgot to hide his wings when he lands heavy on the beach. Caleb and his freinds finds Sky and fast talking tale but Caleb doesn't believe him.. The fall for unusual coloured eyes with Caleb 28 yrs definitely attracted Sky to him.

Sky Heavensent is the angel of death. His duty is to collect the souls of the recently departed and show the souls the way into a new version of peace. By Sky is not your normal angel. Known by others and his boss the Archangel Gabriel, Sky is a liability and sometimes clumsy, but you can never doubt his commitment. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does, whether that’s his job or with love.

On his way to earth in order to harvest another soul, Sky meets Caleb Pierce, and he is instantly smitten. But they have one problem, Caleb is the soul that Sky was coming to earth to harvest and now the only thing Sky wants to do is save him but doing so would be breaking one of the angels most sacred angelic directives, but Sky’s emotions are already too deep. So, he ignores the consequences and follows his heart. With danger and mayhem now following them because Caleb missed his death, it down to Sky to do everything in his power to protect his lavender-eyed man.

Lavender Fields is a stand-alone novel by Natalina Reis and my second read from this author. I cannot wait to read what else this amazing author brings us, and how much further she can entrance us into her incredible reads.

I didn’t expect to enjoy and be captivated with this book as much as I had. It had action, romance, sad scenes and most importantly love, family & friendship. It was filled with emotions that you could feel from the characters you could feel their love, fear, heartache and determination.

You never expect the twists that occurred in this book, you were on the edge of your seat wondering what could possibly happen next. I was truly captivated from the start and loved every minute of this book. Certain parts of this book had the added thriller style to it and that I wasn’t expecting after having read the synopsis but I think this made the story that even more captivating. I’m so glad that our two characters got an ending that they both deserved after everything that they went through in this book. I would be great to read about these characters again and see how they are living their lives now that they have no more danger surrounding them. I do have a couple of questions regarding the events that happened in the book, what were the reasons they did what they did in this book? How did Archangel Gabriel sort out the things that he wasn’t even aware was going on with the dark side?

These characters also helped make this book even more captivating and added extra depth to this story. I liked seeing their friendship grow and see their connection deepen, I also liked reading the developing connection between Sky and Caleb sister. They all welcomed Sky immediately as if he was always a part of their lives. You could tell that were going to become inseparable and continue to connect even more. It such a shame to see their first meeting vanish from memories, but I’m so glad that they managed to create new ones.

I’ve read various Angel themed books, but this one really connected me. I really loved Sky’s characters, he was witty, lovable slightly clumsy, and didn’t really liked to follow many rules. But after reading this some rules are meant to be broken. He goes out of his way to stay connected to Caleb in any way possible and will protect him at any cost, and it’s one cost that changes his life and maybe even for the better. I’d love to see how he continues to live his life among humans and see how he balances his new life and love with Caleb. These two have an undeniable connection that is beautiful from the start and only continues to grow stronger! They may meet under horrible, sad events but if it wasn’t for that then they possible would have never met at all.



This is a wonderful book of, friendship, love, family protection and second chances all rolled into one that will keep you hooked until the very end.

Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis has been a brilliant and lovely read. Sky is an angel of death, sent to claim the souls meant for heaven. When he is sent for the soul of Caleb he becomes completely smitten with him and saves him instead. Knowing the consequences of his actions he is still unprepared for being put in the middle of something a bit more sinister. But Sky knows that, no matter what, he will protect Caleb at all costs.

I loved this story. The Angel aspect of it was great and made for an intriguing story. It also helped create the beautiful loving atmosphere between Sky and Caleb. Their relationship is charming, sexy and precious. Calebs sister is hilarious as well as endearing and you can see why Sky also falls for her and wants to protect her like his own sister.

The description of the Angel realm is brilliant and something I would like to read more about as well as Sky and Calebs relationship.

This story depicts a homosexual relationship, even though angels are portrayed as relatively gender less. I am a heterosexual female and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Sexuality, even though I have mentioned it here, is not made into a big issue in the story, it is just a beautiful, angelic love story that has sacks of charm and also a bit of danger and mayhem.

The author has a certain magic to their writing as this book gave off an incredible atmosphere that pulled me into reading it one sitting.

I will be on the lookout out for more by this author for sure. A brilliant read.

I give Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis 5 stars.

Sky Heavensent is an angel. Or more specifically, an angel of death. He collects souls of people who are bound for heaven. He is given a name one day and he heads to earth. As usual, he is flying too fast and crash lands into the sandy beach. He must have knocked himself out, because when he comes to, he is being stared at by 5 pairs of eyes. One pair of eyes doesn’t match, one green eye and one purple eye. Attached to those intriguing eyes is an absolutely gorgeous face. Sky has been in love before, but there is something about this man.

When he gets his wits about him, he reads the name of the souls he is supposed to collect. It is the name of the gorgeous man. Sky’s heart overtakes his common sense and does the one things he is absolutely not allowed to do – he saves the man from his death.

He knows he will catch backlash, but he will take any punishment for this man. He doesn’t believe in love at first sight, but this man just changed his mind. He thinks he can just serve his punishment and go back to seeing this human again. But things might not be that simple. He may have just started the wheels turning into something bigger and much darker than anyone imagined.

This was a very good book. There is a wonderful potential love story with some action added into the mix. I was in a down mood when I read this and this helped lift my spirits. I also couldn’t put it down. The characters and story pulled me right in from the beginning. I highly recommend this book to fans of the supernatural romance.

Author Natalina Reis
5 Stars

I absolutely loved this book, a recommended read.
Sky a Heaven-sent angel is sent to earth to return home a soul. The soul belongs to Caleb, whose life is due to end today. This is where the story of Caleb and Sky begin, and when the Arc Angel Gabriel becomes angrier with Sky than he ever has been before.
Sky always flew too fast and today was no different, but today he crash lands on a beach which is where he and Caleb will meet. When Caleb and Sky come face to face they feel and instant connection but for Sky it is instant love. While talking to Caleb Sky remembers why he is on earth and after a kiss goodbye Sky resumes his duty of the day. Opening the canister which contains the name of the soul he is to bring home today he is horrified to see its Caleb. Sky can’t stand the thought of losing Caleb when he has only just found him and puts a plan into action. This plan of action will change Caleb’s fate and anger Gabriel.

Sky’s plan of action is to interfere with the fate of Caleb and saves his life. When Gabriel finds out what Sky has done well let’s just say Gabriel is more than angry. Gabriel’s punishment for Sky is to take him off active duty and put him on desk duty. Gabriel also must have Caleb’s memory wiped as Sky has exposed himself as an angel, which as Sky knows is not allowed. Sky feels within himself that he has done a good thing, and is not happy with the punishment that Gabriel has inflicted on him. For Sky love is worth more than any other angel will ever understand. Being behind the desk hampers Sky from seeing Caleb. So, each night after dark he flies down to earth. The first visit he is upset to find Caleb does not remember him, as he does not know Gabriel had Caleb’s mind wiped clean of any memories of Sky.

It doesn’t take long for feelings to ignite for the both, but this also starts an unpleasant time for both Caleb and Sky, enter dark angel Samuel. Samuel is about to start a reign of terror on Sky and Caleb and what they endure no angel or human should have to contend with.

Will love conquer all, or will love be lost for ever?

Lavender Fields, by Natalina Reis is a story about love against all odds and following your heart even when everyone around you is telling you you’re wrong. It is the story of Sky and Caleb, their trial and tribulations, and ultimately of how they save each other.
Sky Heavensent is an Angel. More specifically he is an Angel of Death. It is his job to collect the souls of people and guide them to the afterlife. Unfortunately he is also known by his peers as a screw up and a liability. Sky has been known to say screw the rules and follow his heart no matter what the consequences. Eventually he is meets Caleb and is instantly smitten by this lavender eyed young man. What will he do once he finds out that Caleb is the soul that he has been sent to collect? What will he be willing to risk for the human that holds his heart?
Caleb Pierce has known his fair share of pain. So much so in fact that falling in love is the last thing on his mind. Then he meets Sky and the attraction is powerful and immediate. For a while he struggles with his feelings for him but eventually lets himself love. How will he react when he learns that the man he is falling for isn’t a man at all? Why is his soul marked for collection?
While I’m not a huge fan of M/M only romances I simply loved these two together. I laughed with them, cried with them, and loved with them. This book was amazing from start to finish with characters that really seemed alive. I have to give this book a 5 star rating for simply pulling me into this amazing story.

Natalina Reis’ Lavender Fields tells the story of an angel who falls in love. With a human. Who he’s kind of supposed to be escorting to the afterlife.

Sky Heavensent (I cringed a little at the name but his surname isn’t mentioned too often so you can forget it I promise) is seen in the angel community as a bit of a liability - always flying too fast and getting himself hurt. His disregard for the rules, coupled with his huge attraction to the human Caleb Pierce, get him into a lot of trouble quite early on.

What follows is a supernatural adventure, with huge threats, proper baddies, and plots to untangle. Alongside this is the romance between Sky and Caleb which develops throughout the trials that they both face. There’s also Joan, Caleb’s sister, who is possibly my favourite character in the book. She’s a very fun character - constantly teasing her brother and his new friend but also incredibly caring and affectionate.

It took me a few chapters to get into this book - I found the pacing a bit weird at times and couldn’t quite see where it was going. But once it gets going it’s very exciting and gripping - there’s a real sense of danger and you’re going to want to know what happens next and if (and how) our heroes make it out.

I give this book four out of five stars. It was a fun read, both as a romance and a supernatural story. Sky and Caleb get major brownie points for consistent use of contraception! I’d recommend this to anyone who enjoys supernatural romances, particularly if the idea that angel love isn’t limited by gender makes you very happy!

Personal Review, I was asked to read this book by the author, that I write a review was not required.

Sky meets Caleb when he falls too fast and can't stop in time. And falls for Caleb. Problem is, Caleb is the soul Sky has been sent to collect. Sky can't carry out his job so another angel is sent. But Sky keeps saving Caleb, and the other angel keeps coming. Can they figure out why Caleb has been targeted?

I'm not one for instant professions of love, and it happens here, right in chapter one when Sky falls in love with Caleb. Now, it does kind of explain that away, since Sky falls in love often, but not to the depth of emotion he feels with Caleb. Still, its and instalove thing.

Also, first person, present tense AND single point of view is not for me, because ...la.la.la.you know what I'm gonna say, and blah blah blah, hearing from everyone!

BUT!!!!

It's a nice book, a well written one by a new to me author.

It does move at speed in places, and it gets a little . . . painful reading about what Samael does to Sky and his wings. Made me cry a little there! The heat level creeps up through the book. I did think it might actually end up clean but the boys do get their down and dirty on! Not explicit, but well written. Right level of heat for this book.

It didn't seem the 200 odd pages its billed at, so a little longer than the usual hangover cure, but it landed in my queue just at the right time, so I'm filing it as such.

A great little read.

4 stars

Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis – 5 stars

Lavender Fields is the third book I’ve read by Natalina Reis and it’s my favorite so far. It’s the story of Sky Heavensent (who is an angel of death), Caleb Pierce and his sister Joan. It’s an “angelic” romance with suspense and drama. This story also has a sense of humor about itself. Joan adds an interesting twist to the mix and I’m hopeful Ms. Reis writes Joan’s story in the future as that girl deserves a book of her own!

I really enjoyed this story. The characters where quickly developed, the settings perfectly described and the story moved at a great pace. Sky and Caleb’s relationship was written in such a way that the emotion and physicality of their relationship was not lost during the mostly “closed door” sex scenes. While this story is about angels, it does not have religious overtones or judgements. There is a depth to the morality of right and wrong, light and dark, good and evil that was written perfectly for me.

This book had a different twist for me. It’s not your normal Archangel Gabriel and Michael type of story. The dialog between Gabriel and Sky really intrigued me. It got me thinking about what it would be like to be in that type of setting and how destiny really plays a role in our lives. I think this book is going to stick with me for a while.

I very much recommend this story book.

Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis
5 Stars

Lavender Fields is the first book I've read by Natalina Reis, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. Only told in the POV of Sky, we see his image on everything happening around him.
Sky is an Angel of death. He gets a name and place to collect the souls of humans who are going to heaven. He's also the angel who tests and pushes all boundaries and rules. When he crash lands on the beach and ends up meeting his target before the accident he takes matters into his own hands.
As he gets his punishment for interfering in matters of life, he finds there's some dark business happening around work, but also may have a hand in what is happening to Caleb. As he places himself back into the life of Caleb, the soul he saved, he becomes a friend but of course he wants to be more. As he learns more of Caleb's life it becomes more apparent that saving his life was the best thing he could've ever done. As Sky is trying to keep Caleb safe, and trying to find what the dark side is doing, Sky gets pulled into some dangerous situations against his will and is hurt.
Can they save each other and find what the dark side wants? The truth will not be what you're expecting.
I'll leave the rest of the story to others to read and find out all the twists and turns in this angel mystery. I'll be on the lookout for more from this author.

This is a wonderful novel by this author. Lavender Fields is a story of angels. Yes angels. Even angels fall; fall in love that is. There are all kinds of different duties for angels too.
Sky Heavensent is an angel of Death. He is supposed to collect the souls of those that have just passed on and that is it. His supervisor archangel Gabriel and fellow coworker angels often see him as a burden and liability because they often have to cover up his mistakes. Sky loves to spread his wings a little too much and is often noticed by the public.
When Sky meets Caleb Pierce for the first time, he feels instantly infatuated with him. There is only one slight problem, Caleb is the one whose soul he was sent to collect. Sky makes a rash decision and follows his heart.
The resulting consequences of this are immense, not only for him but also Caleb and his little sister. What will change in life / new timeline that he has created because Sky didn’t take the soul of someone when it was their time? The danger, the mayhem that is set in motion because of one instance has dire consequences. What are these other forces that seem to be working against him in the upper angel world? Is it safe to trust anyone, even an angel? Will Sky be able to defend his lavender eyed love from the fall out that he has caused?
I give this book 4 stars. It was a great love story. Showing what people, even angels might do to keep the ones they love safe.

Sky is a luckless angel of death who always causes disaster. One day, he crashes on a beach from flying too fast. A group of humans save him and he falls in love with one of them, a man with purple eyes named Caleb who Sky saves instead of collecting his soul in a motorcycle accident. Sky’s boss Gabriel is furious and wipes Caleb’s memory. Despite this, Sky finds Caleb and forms a friendship with him and his sister Joan and they form new memories. However, Sky does not know that Caleb’s soul is still wanted by higher powers until he is injured in a suspicious motorcycle accident. He recovers and they form a relationship. Caleb is further attacked by a dark angel in hospital. . Curious, Sky investigates and finds a seraphic note saying that the fallen angel Samael has been allowed to do whatever he wishes with Caleb’s soul. Samael captures Caleb and takes him to Hades but Sky goes after him and rescues Caleb. Happy, they live in bliss and love until Samael telepathically weakens Sky. He captures Sky for revenge and to torture him. Using Gabriel’s help, Caleb travels to Hades to rescue Sky but arrives too late as Samael has already burnt Sky’s wings. Recovering, they identify the author of the note and the culprit behind it all. Sky gets an angel tattoo. Gabriel lets Sky’s previous misdemeanours slide so he can stay with Caleb.
A captivating novel. A brilliant plot. Well developed characters. I enjoyed the stern but kind nature of Gabriel who worked well as a boss figure. I also adored Sky’s sense of not fitting in with the angels and his love of flying but also his conflict over whether to tell Caleb about angels or not. I loved how Caleb could simply “melt my anxiety’s away” and make him feel at home. A beautiful setting of both Arcadia and Hades. The use of the fantastical elements like wings and Arcadia as an office melted nicely with the realistic elements of motorbikes and ice cream shops. Overall, an extremely enjoyable read and i would give it five stars

Lavender fields is written by Natalina Reis. This was my first story by Natalina Reis so I was not sure what to expect I went into this blind based off of the cover. This is Sky’s story, and what a story it is. So sky has a rather interesting job and at times rather difficult. As the angel of death you would think his job would be pretty black and white collect the Soul and return it to heaven. Simple right? Well not if you’re sky, Sky seems to always do something wrong, mess something up, hes also always known as the klutz. He’s never messed up as bad as the day he met Caleb though.
Sky and Caleb are both interesting characters their story captivates you and while you want to know how it ends at the same time you never want it to end. Sky has moments of weakness but his moral compass is spot-on and when it comes to choices of right versus wrong he always chooses right. But what do you do when you fall in love with the very soul you came to Earth to collect..
Sky becomes faced with that very difficult decision and it starts a domino effect that ultimately ends with Caleb going to heaven or hell. After Sky gets in trouble, yet again, with Gabriel questions begin to arise as to why the dark side is becoming involved. Can Sky and Gabriel figure out the pieces of the puzzle before its too late and Caleb pays with his life..

Usually I like to clear the negative factors out of the way first, so I'll get to that right away. Not that there's much to point out.

Scenes kind of skipped around a bit too much for my liking, you could blink and suddenly events have changed. And there was some lacking of character description. But that is the only 'complaints' I have.

Now for the rest of the story. Oh man! It made me laugh. Literally. Like out loud, but luckily I was alone. Or would've been looked at like I was nuts. I tend to 'cackle'.

Sky Heavensent cracked me up. First because he was a clumsy, flies-too-fast-and-crashes-into-things kind of clumsy. He messes things up. He's far from perfect despite that he's an Angel, and not just an Angel, an Angel of Death. Sure that sounds cryptic. Sky was anything but cryptic. Now usually I don't always fall for those stories with love at first sight, but for Sky Heavensent, he can't help it! I really liked how that was pointed out. The little quirk of Sky that is.

Caleb Piece, human love interest of Sky. I really liked him, but in all honesty it was his younger sister Joan that drew me in. They had both lost their parents at a young age, with no one to lean on but each other. The way they both bickered (like true siblings), it got me smile a lot.

All in all, I found this an enjoyable read. It was just a romance but it had some mystery/suspense thrown in there. That kept me engaged along with the romance.

Lavender Fields is the first book that I've read by Natalina Reis. And I have to say, I was completely surprised with the read.

I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book. Let me begin by saying that I did not read the synopsis, or other reviews. Which I don’t usually do. I like to know what I'm getting myself into. But for some reason, I didn’t this time. So to initially read: "you are the most beautiful man I have ever met."

I am In no way a prude, but I've never read M/M books before in my life. And I was shocked to know that I was okay with this storyline. I was surprised and looking forward to learning more about our characters.

Like Sky Heavensent, for example. He's know as an angel - an angel of death to be precise. He is sent to collect the souls of those who have died. His duty is to collect them and release them in order to be able to move on to Heaven. And for the most part, he does his job - although clumsily. That is, until he meets Caleb Pierce. He meets him after "falling" in order to collect his soul. But instead of landing, he crashes and goes blank. He gets waken by a group of guys - one of those being Caleb, one eye emerald green and the other a deep shade of violet - which in his mind, reminds him of lavender Fields.

Without going into details, this book deals with a lot of drama and suspense. Light vs Dark. Good vs Evil. Again, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed the characters and what they had to offer. I have to say that I'm excited to read more from this author and see what else she has to offer me as a reader. Again, I'm no prude, and unless it's a completely boring story that doesn't carry a line whatsoever, then that is when I give up on it.

As for this book, I found myself reading it all the way and actually enjoying it. I give this book 4 stars!

What if you were the Angel of Death, collecting the souls of the recently departed- only to fall in love with one of the souls you were meant to be harvesting? Well this is exactly the dilemma faced by Angel of Death, Sky, when he meets and falls for Caleb- only to then find out that he’s the soul Sky is meant to be taking. He has a decision to make- one that will have far reaching consequences. What will he choose? What does fate have in store for these two? Is there any possibility of a future together? Will love win out in the end?
Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis is a little darker, more thrilling, and more intense than I had been expecting. This really made my reading experience even better than I had been expecting. There is suspense, drama, danger, violence, action, and a wonderful M/M romance.
I have read most of Ms. Reis’ books now, and loved them all- but this one is definitely one of my firm favourites!
I loved every word of this fantastic story, and I can’t wait to see what Ms. Reis has in store for us in her next book!

Thank you, Ms Reis!

This was so much more than I thought it would be. Sky is an angel who seems to find trouble. All accidental of course. His job to collect souls is one he struggles with. We meet Caleb aka Mr. Lavender Fields. They have an unbreakable connection. That is until Caleb get his mind erased.

This story was fun and creative. I loved learning about Sky’s job and what he had to do. Calebs sister, Joan, was witty smart and a wonderful addition to the story.

I loved the insta-connection that Caleb and Sky had. I seemed to be able to feel it coming through the pages. I was hesitant to read this because of the material. I am glad I did. It was so much more. This is a well written story with lovable characters.

Lavender Field by Natalina Reis is one of those books that will capture your heart with fantastic characters.
Natalina Reis is an author that I have slowly become familiar with over the past year and is an author that I have grown accustomed to being slightly unpredictable in her work. Every book I read by her is completely different to the last one I read which helps to keep her work refreshing.
I loved the story of this book. Sky and Caleb were such loveable characters. It felt like you went on their journey with the right from the start. The author creates a vivid picture of them so it is easy to picture being there with them.
I thought there was also great story development. The first chapter did everything it needed to in capturing my attention and the resulting pace of the book was perfect. I definitely enjoyed this book and can’t wait to delve more into this authors work.

Lavender Fields is the the story of Sky Heavensent who is an angel of death who collects the souls of those recently passed. I really enjoyed this story and the characters were very well written that made you feel for them.

Sky is constantly in trouble with his Archangel Gabriel and seen as a liability and different from other angels. Sky is sent on a mission to harvest his latest soul but little does he know it is that of the one he had just set his eyes and lips on, Caleb Pierce. When Sky realises who is newest soul is, he does the one thing that is forbidden. So when Sky finds himself once again in Gabriel's spot light he knows this time he is in real trouble. Even though Sky is Heaven bound, he decides he can no longer stay away from the one person who has stolen his heart. When Sky discovers that Caleb is in more trouble than he thought he uncovers a plot that could destroy them all but sky will do everything in his power to stop the evil forces that threatens his very soul and those of the ones he loves.

This an angelic romance with lots of drama and suspense, good and evil, light and dark but it also has humour and love. Joan, Caleb’s sister is endearing and will have you laughing at her antics but you will also be in tears because of the evil that inflicts so much pain on this beautiful angel. This lovely story will touch your heart and the love that knows no bounds.

This book has a different twist and is not your normal angel story. It is a truly beautiful, intriguing and charming story and a quick and easy read.

Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis
Five Stars

Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis is the first book I have read by this author. I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. This paranormal romance is full of love, laughter, suspense and a little mystery thrown in. Ms. Reis has a unique writing style that I love. The character descriptions and witty banter really bring this story to life. I love the intrigue and suspense as the story of true love unfolds.

Sky Heavensent is the Angel of Death. He is sent to earth to collect the soul of the recently deceased. Sky is know to to his supervisor and friends as “the liability “. He tends to be a little reckless but always follows his heart and conscious, which gets him into trouble sometimes. Sky is on a mission to pick us a new soul, but miscalculates his landing. When he wakes up after crash landing, he find five people looking down at him. One of the men looking down at him is the most gorgeous guy he has ever seen. The man has mismatched eyes, one is green and one is lavender. It is love at first sight for Sky, then he find that this is the soul he was sent to collect.

Sky decides to save Caleb and break the most sacred rule as an angel. There will be consequences, but this is true love for Sky and he will risk anything for this man. You must read this book to find out what happens when love changes fate and if things will work out for these two. I can't wait to dig into Ms. Reis backlist. I hope they are all as good as this book.

Intriguing paranormal romance

I'm not sure if paranormal is quite the right word, more like fallen angel romance. It's definitely an interesting read, and the connection between Sky and Caleb is there, and definitely has a high heat factor. Human and angel, a dramatic romance, and adding in Joan as Caleb's sister, puts a spin on the story. I like that it's only one POV, and that is from Sky. His fall to earth, and what his job entails, even though he was off course, as an Angel of death. It's full of dramatic, and eroticism but has a great plot that gives the story depth.

Lavender Fields
By Natalie Reis
**4 Stars**

Lavender Fields by Natalie Reis is an is full of unexpected twists and turns. Sky Heavensent is an angel he seems to fall in love too easily and mostly the time his feelings aren't shared. As an angel of death who tends to be a klutz he isn't exactly what you call the archangel Gabriel's favorite. Even though Sky makes mistakes his actions are always based on good intentions to do the right thing. When he needs Caleb Pierce everything he knows goes out the window. Why did he have to meet Caleb before he had to die? Sky must go against everything he knows in save the man he loves over and over again.

Caleb and his sister, Joan are the only ones left from their family. They must take care of each other because they have no one else. Caleb is the best kind of love interest! He is selfless, good-looking and funny. He loves to pick on his baby sister that he has raised. He hardly ever went on dates and now Joan is pushing Sky towards him. He is thankful for the day that this beautiful man knocked on his door!

I truly enjoyed reading this book. It is full of fun and mystery as we follow Sky through his sneaking around searching for answers! I'll be sure to follow Natalie Reis in the future!

On the Wings of Love
Lavender Fields is one of the most unusual romances I've read in awhile. Sky is an angel of death, a reaper of sorts, who falls in love with a human male named Caleb. Caleb unfortunately is marked for death and sadly for Sky he is the one who is supposed to claim Caleb's soul. Sky goes against orders and saves Caleb, but can he keep him safe? Can love prevail? This is a story of angels, MM romance, and one you won't want to end. Loved it.
