You'll fall in love with these 4 sweet, clean, charming stories about true love, miracles, and finding your destiny!
First Date with Destiny
To fulfill his destiny, he'll have to uncover hers. Zeph is half angel, half human, and a total disappointment. Everyone expected his supernatural gift to be extraordinary, but instead he didn’t have one at all. After 17 years of insignificance, Zeph has given up on ever fulfilling his destiny, but when he meets Eve, she sees something in him that no else has. Suddenly, Zeph’s quirks start to seem more like rare supernatural gifts, instead. Besides being brilliant, beautiful, and way out of Zeph’s league, Eve is an intriguing mystery that Zeph can’t resist trying to unravel. He’s convinced that Eve is a Celestia Divisa, but she doesn’t even know they exist. When Zeph shares his theories with his friends and family, it’s no surprise that everyone thinks he’s crazy. But is he willing to risk losing Eve to uncover the truth?
The Blogger vs the Bad Boy
She's half angel; he's a total jerk. They just might be perfect for each other. A cruel prank earns Jake a community service assignment, so why does Charisse feel like she's the one who's been sentenced? As a half angel and a beauty-blogging viral sensation, Charisse’s motto is, “Kindness is the best beauty product of all.” But when she's forced to work with the biggest jerk on the planet, even Risse’s supernatural powers are pressed to the limit. Jake is wealthy, gorgeous, and popular — the guy that every girl wants and every guy wants to be, but he hides his pain and loneliness behind a bad-boy facade and pushes everyone away. Until he meets Charisse — the one girl who’s not impressed by him, and the only girl he desperately wants. When a devastating secret is revealed, Jake’s rebels against everyone who cares about him. Burned by his betrayal, the last thing Risse wants to do is help him, but her angelic duty demands she give her all. She knows it will take a miracle to save him from himself, but is she willing to sacrifice herself to give him one?
Double the Trouble
Two girls desperate for a chance at a new life. Twin angels with the power to save. Can love work a miracle for all of them? Maddy didn't think her rotten life could get any worse until she suddenly found herself homeless and penniless. Lissy's life is perfect except for the fact that she's dying. The only thing half-angel twins Maddock and Cheydan have in common is a devilishly handsome face, until they each meet a girl in desperate need of angelic intervention. Maddock longs to rescue Maddy, but she pushes him away, afraid to depend on anyone else. Meanwhile, Cheydan is busy falling for Lissy and risking his job and his integrity to help her find an organ donor. When a startling discovery tears both couples apart, the twins know only a miracle can heal the girls who’ve rejected them. But are they willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the girls they love?
Blindsided
Sometimes, healing the body has to start with the heart. Half-angel Rafael DiAngelo is a doctor with a supernatural gift of healing, and he can't resist trying to help CeCe, a strong, beautiful woman who is inexplicably blind. When they’re drawn together by a little girl in need, the chemistry between them is undeniable. The only problem is, CeCe doesn't see her blindness as a disability, and she resents doctors who think they know best. Rafe would do anything to win over CeCe, even compromise his own integrity by weaving a tangle of lies, but when his secrets are revealed, can their relationship survive?

Summary: The Celestia Divisia are a group of half human half angel’s who live along side of everyone else who use their special abilities to help everyone around them. There are three unique stories that show how loving others can overcome anything.
In First Date with Destiny, when Zeph was born without any apparent special abilities the community were disappointed and tending to look down on him until the day he met Eve when everything changed. Things are not always what they seem and Zeph is about to prove that.
In The Blogger VS the Bad Boy, Jake’s school prank led him to court mandated time at the Sunnybrook Retirement Home and his conflict with Risse makes him second guess his attitude, but it can be hard to others to see that people can change.
In Double Dare, Maddock and Cheydan, twin half angels, lives are very busy until they day they met their matches. Maddy’s life with her aunt who never really wanted has left her trying to fend for herself. She has been saving her money in the bank and in her room until the day she can move out.

Lissy’s life is in danger unless she gets a kidney transplant sending her to the adoption agency that Cheydan just started volunteering at.

CeCe’s past has let her frightened refusing to trust or be around doctors leaving Rafael scared CeCe will refuse to ever see him if she finds out the truth.
This was a wonderful and inspirational story with unique characters who are willing to put everything on the line for those they love.
Book 1. Zeph, is a senior in high school with low self esteem. He meets Eve, Mathlete Champion, who sees the greatness in him. Raised knowing he is a Celestial Divisa (half angel / half human) but he thinks he is the only one of his kind without a gift. Zeph has struggled his entire life with feelings of worthlessness and the weight of being a disappointment to his family. Eve has a love for angels, she can't explain and has an irresistible pull toward Zeph. They start a relationship but will it last?
Book 2. Charisse has her own blog and she posts some unkind things about Jake. Jake is rich but was not given love or attention very much. Soon Charisse realises that Jake isn't as bad as she once thought. Jake learns love and kindness from the elderly at the nursing home and Charisse. And Jake gets his HEA.
Book 3. Maddock and Cheydon are twin brothers and they are half angel/half human. Maddock meets Maddy at the grocery store he works at. He notices her come in and get a can of tuna and a single banana 3 days in a row....she is homless. Maddock wants to help her even though she keeps pushing him away. Cheydon meets Lissie at his job an adoption agency when Lissie comes in asking for her birth parents information because she is sick and need a transplant. Cheydon bends the rules but it is a dead end. She will die without the transplant, Cheydon wants to help but she keeps pushing him away. I love the twist at the end....
Book 4. Doc Rafe is half Angel. He is at a coffee shop and notices CeCe she is blind and Rafe wants to help her. CeCe has been blind since she was young. She does not see her blindness as a disability, she lives life to the fullest. She also does not like doctors because they are meddlesome and want to run tests. Will Rafe's desire to heal her push them apart, or will they find something to hold onto?
Overall this is a great box set and I really enjoyed reading it. I was engrossed from start to finish in each book. Each book is well written, with a great plots and characters. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
This is such a great series! I laughed out loud and I cried multiple times in every single story. Starting with the story of a boy who didn’t live up the the expectations set before he was even born, he met the girl that was meant for him and found his calling -and exceeded those expectations! To the sweet, kind and fashionable girl who got stuck showing the bad boy around for his community service. He learned from her and she learned a few things as well. Next are the twins who meet girls at the same time, girls who both could use a miracle. And finally, the doctor everybody loves, who has the power to heal - except that the girl he loves doesn’t want to be healed!
I really enjoyed reading this box set. This collection includes four books that are purely heartwarming and sweet in nature, all involving the romance of a different character that happens to be interwoven into the Celestia Divisa community, and the humans they happen to meet and fall in love with. If you are a fan of stories about angels, and are looking for a romance story with none of the heat but plenty of the feels, you should definitely read this series.
Date with Destiny Collection by Kellie McAllen. I truly enjoyed getting to know all of the characters in these books and take their magical journey of life with them. My free opinion ARC Thanks.
The Celestia Divisa Collection contains the first three books and currently it's at a promotional price of 0.99 so get it while you can!
Book one - Discerning Spirits: Wow... just wow...! This is the first book I've read by Kellie McAllen and I absolutely loved it! It's also one of a very small number of books that I've managed to read within 24 hours :)
Zeph is half human, half angel. He's an outcast within his community but one day he met Eve and suddenly his life is turned around.
Eve is very talented and logial, even a little bit geeky, but she's also always been interested in supernatural topics like angels. She has an ability she's kept quiet to herself but it was all revealed when she met Zeph.
Zeph and Eve are just soooo sweet together, they're the perfect high school sweethearts and it really warms my heart when I read about their journey together.
They need to work together as their talents are revealed and they can only be stronger as a team. There's a sweet happy ending to this book and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series - Loving Kindness!
Book two - Loving Kindness: Loving Kindness by Kellie McAllen is the second book in the Celestia Divisa Collection and happens around 2 years after the end of Discerning Spirits.
Risse is half angel, half human, and her talent is Kindness. She's been volunteering at the local Retirement Community home when a new volunteer joins.
The new volunteer is Jake with a bad boy image. He's at the Retirement home due to a community service sentence. The first impression he gave Risse was so bad that Risse blogged about it later that day.
Risse and Jake are complete opposites and yet they cannot stop thinking about each other. While working together at the Retirement home, they got to know each other really well and things went on from there. Due to Jake's reckless actions at the Retirement home, he couldn't finish his 100 hours of community service and had to appear in front of the Judge. Risse found several character witnesses for Jake and he was able to continue volunteering at the Retirement home, but then a twist in the plot happens around then. Risse was able to help Jake get through that and in the end they fell in love with each other.
Loving Kindness is yet another short and sweet read and Kellie McAllen is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors!
Book three - Double Blessing: Double Blessing by Kellie McAllen is the third book in the Celestia Divisa Collection and starts off soon after the end of Loving Kindness.
Maddy was at the lowest point of her life when she ran away from home. She met Maddock at the grocery store he works at. Maddock is a Celestia Divisa - half angel, half human.
Maddock's twin brother Cheydan started his intern at an adoption agency when he met Lissy who's desperately trying to find her birth parents. Lissy is sick and hoping her birth family can help her out.
Maddock started falling for Maddy while Cheydan was doing the same for Lissy. Both Maddy and Lissy needed the twins' help.
This book is yet another sweet story with a happy ending and I'm really enjoying this series and will continue supporting this author.
This is a wonderful series of books. They are beautiful and romantic love stories. I highly recommend them. Once I began reading I couldn't put them down.
A really enjoyable set of romances with a little something extra thrown in
I enjoyed reading these stories for the light relief from the dystopian fiction that I frequently read. I loved something with a basic HEA, but I should emphasize that the author did a superior job of building her world & her characters. The plot was also well-woven & the stories connected in a logical, organized fashion. I enjoyed these books, & highly recommend them to someone looking for a little romance without too much detailed sex involved.
