Masters Of Maria #2
The Angel's Hunger
Cursed by his vengeful elf ex-lover eight hundred years ago, Tamatsu lost not only his voice but his power, and became consumed by a ravenous hunger for food, sex, violence, and other earthly pleasures. Now he’s ready to make a deal with his former flame and tormentor: the return of his voice in exchange for the location of her missing elf queen.
But the Fates have a way of throwing monkey wrenches into the best-laid plans. After so many years in the human realm, Noelle isn’t sure she can remember what happened to his voice or even what made her mad enough to curse Tamatsu in the first place…
Can she find a way to make amends with the only person who’s capable of balancing her? Tamatsu must also decide if being intimate with Noelle again is worth exacerbating his insatiable appetites. It’s not a match made in heaven, but they could make a hell of a team.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!
The cover is awesome though the wings are not true to the book!
This is the 2nd book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content. I think you would enjoy this series much more if you read the other series that are all part of this world to gain more character perspective, but you can definitely read this without having read them all!
I was definitely pulled into this story, and I didn’t want to put it down. Unfortunately, I had to when I drove back home from Texas. Holley does a fantastic job with her writing style and the attitudes her characters have are awesome!
Tamatsu and Noelle both have histories with and without each other and a lot of it with their long lives. There is quite a bit of drama between them to start, but it was filled with details of the past. There wasn’t major action, but this book had plenty going on that I didn’t miss it. I really liked both characters flaws and all.
I highly recommend reading this book to any paranormal fan especially if you already love this world from Desert Guards and Sons of Gulielmus because shifters, demons, angels, goddesses, fae, magic, and more!

This was an enjoyable return to the town of Maria and its magical inhabitants, though it felt long in places. Noelle is an angry woman and she owns it, although it also means she reacts rashly and impulsively. I really struggled with her choice to take Tamatsu’s voice when she thought he cheated on her without even giving him a chance to explain. Surprising no one, it was a giant misunderstanding and they could have been together all these 800 years if she’d just listened to him. It’s not clear whether she’s really learned anything because her solution then becomes for her to give up her voice, but she never asks Tamatsu what he wants. And that felt unfair.
I really liked how this explored Tamatsu’s hungers and the way the various Fallen Angels fell and why. Tamatsu has been celibate and has not even touched anyone in over 800 years since Noelle left him. No physical touch, not even a handshake, because he cannot predict how it will affect his hunger. (As someone who lives alone during the pandemic and really misses hugging people, this made me feel incredibly empathetic toward him.) This made for an incredible build up toward his reunion with Noelle and that first touch and the way it happened was super hot.
The ending was really abrupt and things did not feel at all resolved between Tamatsu and Noelle. They really need to work on their communication skills. Also, it’s worth mentioning there’s an overuse of “grimace” and “cringe” that really started wear on me.
Character notes: Noelle is an elf, white, and 4’11. Tamatsu is a Fallen Angel, Japanese, and 7’6. He is mute. The story begins in 1212 AD Japan and then switches to the present day.
CW: hero is mute due to heroine stealing his voice, ableism, perceived infidelity, heroine experiences chronic pain, secondary character’s former husband was abusive, ableist language

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This was an awesome paranormal romance with lots of suspense. I didn't want to put the book down. Definitely a must read.
January 10, 2018
First review of the year, woohoo! And it's a positive one, so here's to hoping that it's a good omen!
Remember when, in the last book, I had mentioned how much I loved the angle with the angels? Well, Tamatsu's story did NOT disappoint me! It was all I hoped for and sooo much more! Here we have a classic example of a past romance gone wrong, but with a tremendous twist: Tamatsu and Noelle, the mute fallen angel and his elf ex-lover who is responsible for his current... speechless state, do not, under any circumstances, want to get back together. Yet, they both have something each other wants, so they're wiling, for a little while at least, to call it a truce, get what they're wishing for, and then go their separate ways. Only, life doesn't always happen the way we expect it to...
This wasn't your usual ex-lover-themed story. Unlike Tito and December, Tamatsu and Noelle knew they were bad for each other. They didn't dance around the subject, they didn't deny their sexual attraction still being there, but they had other priorities and they both admitted to still being bitter about their break-up, no matter how long ago it happened. It was both satisfying and hilarious seeing them try to resist each other once they realized they were being sucked back into being totally smitten with each other.
The whole tragedy of Tamatsu doing something that angered Noelle enough to curse him was what kept the story so high in suspense. At first, I couldn't help but be on her side given what she was saying about the way she found him with... Well, spoilers! No more words! But let's just say, I completely supported her decision. Then, I heard Tamatsu's side of the story, and I was like "OK, no girl, you should have checked first!" - though I was still a bit suspicious about it all because it didn't add up, and if it was, one of them was lying, and I couldn't figure out who. And when the final curtain was lifted, and they both sat down to talk it out, and the truth was revealed... I was laughing. Hysterically. Like a maniac! Because the whole thing was just soooo extraordinarily simple, and they had both suffered for decades on end, just because they had both jumped to assumptions. It felt so humane and realistic, I couldn't blame either of them, and it only served in making me love them more.
The love scenes were... INTENSE! Tito the demigod WHO?! Pssst, get out of the way, dude, Tamatsu has the stage covered, thank you very much! Oh, boy, I kept fanning myself because the guy was smoldering hot without even trying, and when he did decide to try, it nearly scorched the panties clean off of me! Not to mention, Noelle was on a whole different level than December! Now THAT is a heroine I can side and relate with!
The ending was also unexpected, and yet very much welcome. I preferred it to the usual solution most writers have in such cases with curses and stuff, because it showed that, despite their relationship not being perfect, those two were willing to try and work things out together, as a team, this time around. It made them that much more depended on each other, and, given the lengths in which Noelle was willing to go to pay for her mistake and redeem herself in Tamatsu's eyes, that sheer amount of self-sacrifice to give him his voice back, it was really beautiful - and Tamatsu's response was even more touching!
I'm off to read the next book in the series - but I'm serious here, can't we please have that goddess-angel ship we've been dreaming about, Ms. Trent?! Pretty pleaaaaase?!?!?!

3.5 rounded up.
I liked this quite a lot. I was drawn in from the beginning and felt with the characters. The whole cast had me interested. This is the first book of the series that I've read and I'll admit that I wish I'd signed up earlier so I could have reviewed the first book. I'll be looking for more from the series.
Tamatsu and Noelle both had lots of learning and growing to do after their initial encounter. They both had some serious issues that were glossed over in the name of lust and then this completely fell apart at the first difficulty. Sure, it was a major issue, but emotions ran super high and my heart ached for Noelle. Later as Tamatsu looked at what happened through new eyes I grew to respect him and hope that they figured things out sooner rather than later. Together they worked. Together they had promise. They just had to work through centuries of hurt...no big deal, yeah?
The way that things came together was both angst-ridden and sweet and hot all at the same time. With a full cast of people to help, distract, advise, support, and care for them as individuals and a unit resolution was found. Was it completely satisfying? Yes and no. I wish it were a bit longer at the end to do it justice and give it a feel of completion, but it was hopeful and full of love.
I look forward to more from all the couples. While I jumped in with book two I didn't feel like anything was missing. Background and details were given throughout the story using very few instances of info-dumping. I felt informed and involved all the way through the story. The world building was good. Set in modern times here was still lots of references to other planes and worlds and times and it all fit cohesively. The dynamics of all the races was present but not a ton of detail given because it wasn't pertinent to this particular story so I didn't think I was missing out.
Overall I liked the book a lot. I willingly read and reviewed this as an ARC from Hidden Gems.

Noelle is a half elf and half human . Several centuries ago , she and Tamatsu were mates. Tamatsu is a fallen angel with great hungers. Noelle had to go away on business and comes back to find Tamatsu with three human female lovers. Feeling betrayed, she curses Tamatsu by stealing his voice. His voice is need to use his strongest powers. Then she disappears.
Tamatsu has been stuggling for a long time with little power. Noelle told him that he can get his power back if he takes her to her queen who is in hiding on Earth. Tamatsu has finally found her and will bring Noelle to her to get his powers back. He needs his powers because some disasters are coming that only he at full power can stop and he has just one week.
When Noelle and Tamatsu get together, they has lots of old hurts to work through. Noelle's queen has changed a lot too and danger surrounds them all. This is a good book with lots of twists and turns. I think it would be better to read after the first book in the series though because it was a little confusing. I voluntarily received a copy of this story and this is my honest review.

A tragic failure to communicate. For Holley Trent fans, this book is a wonderful addition to the Masters of Maria series, which ties into the Desert Guards and the Sons of Gulielmus series. The book opens with an event 800 plus years in the past when a fae elf, Fionnuala, returned home to find her mate with other women. In a fit of rage, she takes his voice into herself, rendering him mute.
Tamatsu is a fallen angel with certain hungers that become overwhelming because of his fallen state, but that is something he never explained to Fionnuala in the months he's known her. Now, almost nine centuries later, he has met the requirements of the bargain his friend made with her to get his voice back. He has located her former queen, Cinnia, who is living as a human. But when Fionnuala, now Noelle Flint, a Las Vegas realtor, tries to give him his voice back it doesn't work, requiring them to spend more time together. Time they need to get to know each other in a way they never did before.
This voluntary review is of a no obligation prerelease copy and is my honest opinion.

I really liked that this book offered a lot of surprises and was not a predictable love story.
Tamatsu land Noelle had a passionate romance that went very bad and she cursed him for breaking her heart. He has not been able to speak since her curse. He offers her a trade - her elf queen in return for his voice.
I liked the characters a lot. Noelle is a complicated. She is someone who can get very angry at times and take some strong actions but is very protective of those she cares about. She really loved Tamatsu and has never found someone to complete her like he did.Tamatsu is a still powerful but misses the abilities associated with his voice. He wants that power back. He is angry at her but also still feels a connection. They definitely have a complicated relationship. The passion between them is just as strong.
I have read many of the other connected stories and highly recommend you check them all out. You can read it as a standalone if you prefer.

Can you ever find peace? Noelle is an elf that has given up hope of finding her queen and she will never find peace for what she did, even though she knows that she was right. She was in love with Tamatsu but he betrayed her and she took his voice and she promised that she would give it back when he found her queen. That day has come her queen has been found and she will need to return his voice but she can't face him as he is her mate and she has missed him so badly. Tamatsu is so hurt by what happened as he didn't know what he had done. Can they move on from the past towards the future? They are both about to learn each other's secrets and realizes that he had no choice, it is his cross to bear for his sins as an fallen angel. But there is a problem, Noelle has lost his voice and she knows that she will do anything to give it back even if it means losing hers.
A great read that kept me wanting more. I was lucky enough to receive a copy via Netgalley & the publishing house in exchange for an honest review.

This Story was Heavenly
I chose a four star rather than a five star due to grammatical errors. Most of the time it was missing or doubled words, occasionally it was homophone errors.
The storyline was wonderful. I loved the main characters. I think this was my favorite "Afotama" related book. (Course, I say that almost every time I read one of these books.) I feel like I missed a book somewhere between comatose and amnesiac Bill though. The only two suggestions I have for Ms. Trent are: 1. A reading order in the books wouldn't be amiss. I know I've seen one but can't locate it. Or even, a "this book is next," in each book would be great. 2. Another edit/read through would help. Most of the time the errors didn't hinder me as a reader but when Tamatsu was supposed to be kissing Noelle on the forehead, it said he kissed him on her forehead or something similar. Those type typos kinda threw me. Still a wonderful read.

Trent has written a story with the perfect blend of intensity, snark, sass, humor, and sex. I ached for Noelle and Tamatsu and couldn't begin to guess how Trent was going to resolve their past (and present) to give them their happily ever after. And when it was over my biggest complaint was that I wanted it to keep going! She did a great job of developing two very strong characters and yet showing that in spite of their strength, they still had vulnerabilities, wants, needs; and they were able to grow and overcome all these challenges to find happiness with each other. I enjoy the environment and characters that Trent has created in Maria and I look forward to many more happy endings from this town!

Tamatsu and Noelle both met when they were reckless, and both needed to grow up a little after their first encounter. Both also had a past that they didn't share, but their attraction got in the way, and then emotions ran too high. I felt for Noelle and was sad for her. Tamatsu finally saw the reality of things, and for that I did learn to like him and respect him more. Good PNR romance with some angst and sweet-hot romance. I also liked the setting and the story line, and the development of the main characters gave us good insight into their personalities. I enjoyed it very much and I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

This is the first paranormal romance I’ve read; it’s never been a subgenre I was interested in, but I liked the premise of the story. I have to admit I was happily surprised at how much I loved it, and am already adding more of Holley Trent’s books to my TBR.
The characters are very well developed and have such varied personalities, and I loved every one of them, even the grumpy one. The storyline is intriguing and the world they inhabit is described in detail. The story itself is remarkably sad at times, and I was surprised to find myself crying at various points. Apparently, I am a sucker for a good angel romance. Who knew?
I’ve read very few books where I can honestly say that they contained absolutely nothing I disliked or would have changed, yet this book is one of those. Definitely a highly recommended read.

This was a paranormal read chuck full of drama and heat in the paranormal realm from one of my favorite author. This centers around Tamatsu and Noelle with quite a story to give us. Also could say it is a second chance many years later lol. You also get a smorgasbord of characters in one novel. She gives you drama heat with these two giving us quite the unfolding of them. You emotional strings will be pulled a time or two also. By the time you wind up at the end of this one the let down will be it finished all too soon.

I absolutely love Tamatsu and Noelle story. Wow what a emotional rollercoaster they took us on. The struggle they both had to endure but to also see them grow and come together as a couple was amazing. Overall enjoyable and entertaining read I definitely can't wait to see what's else is in store for this series. Maybe Tarik and Lola story next that going to be a interesting read. I voluntarily read and review this ARC I haven't been compensated in any way.

Angels have something to say...
Awesomeness. Finally got this book and actually had time to read...as I have soooo many. Easy to read and follow, creative genius and such a great adveture. I am happy to understand how Tsumata lost his voice and got it back as I had read Coyote fist..can't wait for more of the characters in this series of stories regarding the little town of Maria.

Sexy, hot and full of drama. I felt for Noelle the fiery elf. Having cast off her fallen angel, along with his voice, for hundreds of years, she tries to come to terms with the damage she has done. I loved this story. Although it was a fantasy, the storyline was easy to read and believable (to a degree, if you believe in a little bit of magic). I will be on the lookout for more by Holley Trent.

A lot can happen in 800 years as evidenced in this addition to the Masters of Maria series. Well written with some interesting characters and an involved story line that encompasses fallen angels, humans, elves, shifters, queens, gods, menage, lust and lots of suspense. If you like paranormal romances, you'll enjoy this book. I voluntarily reviewed an arc copy of this book.

Complex, amazing paranormal story. Angels, elves, wolves, coyotes and demigoddess - all in one book. The characters are great and very developed. The storyline is well written and interesting. I like this story very much and recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

Can Tamatsu get what he needs?
Tamatsu and Noelle have an odd relationship. Noelle is an elf who is "tethered " to an angel. Elves only tether to one person, the person they are meant to be with.
Tamatsu did something over 800 years ago that Noelle was emotionally hurt by. So she used some of her elf power and took his voice. She would give it back if he found someone for her.
Now that he did what she asked, she cant find where she put his voice in order to give it back.
I like the story but didn't care much for Noelle. She seemed really spiteful to me through most of the book. But in the end she redeemed herself in my eyes.
I am anxious to read the other angels' stories. It looks like we have few different stories to read before the other two angela.get their books though.
