Araton is one of the most feared Warrior Angels in existence. He’s brutal and stops at nothing to eradicate the demons dumb enough to cross over to Earth. The only good demon is a dead one. Nothing ever distracts him from the mission given to him by God. He was literally created to eradicate the malicious beings that seek destruction. And then he meets Natalia Olsen a New Orleans Police officer and as a spicy as Cajun food. The pull between the two is irresistible from the moment he saves her from dying at the hand of an archdemon. Unaware of the devil within, Natalia finds herself in the midst of carnage time and again with no memory of the events that lead her there. Araton is the only one she can call upon. With enemies lurking in every shadow, Araton and Natalia must work together to stop the ritual to free Lucifer from the magic that binds him to the Underworld. If that happens no one will be safe. The sizzling attraction between them overcomes common sense and leaves Natalia vulnerable. Will their connection save her life or create the opening Lucifer needs to break free?

THIS SERIES JUST GETS BETTER WITH EVERY BOOK THAT I READ !!!
Wow, I can't believe that I have read 22 plus books in this wonderful series and can't wait to get the next book. I eagerly wait for the next book, I can hardly believe that it continues to keep me glued to my Kindle drinking in every word. They do utter the F-Word more than I like but I guess that's just the way people talk in this day. I love 💘 keeping up with the characters from past books and finding out what is happening with them. They have grown to be close to me and I get thrilled with every new baby and new addition to the mix.
Just keep them coming and I will grab up every new book that comes my way. I am excited to find out more about the Academy Series that I read about and that would make a Wonderful addition to the Dark Warrior Alliance books. A new Academy for future Dark Warrior 's to learn more about their craft. That would be an awesome addition to the series... Thank You so much for adding to my sleepless nights and giving me something to look forward to when I am tossing and turning waiting for sleep to come my way.

Natalia is a cop in New Orleans and is used too weird. But even she can't believe what she and her partner find at the LaLaurie mansion one dark night. The crowd that has gathered there, despite the Covid-19 rules on distancing, is downright freaky. The next thing she knows she is inn the middle of some kind of summoning, wait, was that Satan? Oh, hell no. And vampires, there were frickin' vampires.
Araton is one of the Warrior Angels who have hooked up with the Dark Warrior Alliance and teeth to help protect Izzy and her family. When word comes that there has been a breach of the veil between the human realm and the Underworld, Araton and his brothers respond to Need cOrleans to check it out. When Araton walks into the LaLaurie mansion he is almost overwhelmed by the demonic energy. He almost kills the human woman who startles him while he is surveying the carnage. Araton accidentally heals her wounds with his shirt which had his blood on it. The blood also made her immune to magic, which meant they couldn't remove her memories of their presence, or the presence of the demons who attacked her.
Not going to spoil it for you. Araton never understood Ayil's or Ramiel's attraction to their women, until he met Lia. Now he knows he would do anything to protect her, even from himself.

A great continuation of the series! “Araton” is Book 22 in the on going Dark Warrior Alliance. It’s a spicy supernatural romance filled with danger and suspense! The story follows Araton, one of God’s, Warrior Angels who has joined with the Dark Warrior Alliance. It is filled with suspense, mystery, romance and lots of sexy scenes from page one! He is tasked with eradicating demons that escape from Hell. We meet Natalia, a police officer whose sole purpose in life is to protect humanity. Lia is human, has become involved with the paranormal world and will help anyway she can. Yes, the sparks fly between Araton and Lia and they are amazing together!
Brenda Trim continues to dazzle us with these stories, I don’t know how she achieves this but each story, although a stand alone, compliments each other. Each story is well told, filled with caring, heartache, personal tragedies and suspense. The characters have depth and one cares deeply about them and worries if, they will get their Happy Ever After. The road is never straight or assured.

4/5*****. The exciting Dark Warrior Alliance PNR series continues with feisty human police officer, Natalia and brooding Angel warrior, Araton. On patrol in the hauntingly quiet streets of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Natalia encounters and follows masses of demonic creatures dragging bloodied and injured people into an old building. Barely surviving a fight for her life against the demonic forces with the help of a gorgeous avenging angel with red wings, she joins Araton and the Dark Warrior Alliance team in their quest to rid earth of Lucifer’s disciples. The couple, who are quickly becoming inseparable, face numerous obstacles in their race to put a stop to the horrific satanic rituals happening throughout the city. While this is a standalone with a HEA, it follows the ongoing storyline and is best read in series order.

Awesome Story! This is another great “chapter” in the on-going Dark Warrior Alliance Series. This story is about Araton, one of God’s warrior angels tasked with eradicating demons that escape from Hell, and Natalia, a police officer whose sole purpose in life is to protect humanity. In this story, “strictly-business” Araton is faced with the dilemma of whether or not to open his heart to save fearless Natalie. We are also briefly treated to the return of Izzy—who somehow is not the same person she once was—and I am looking forward to the next book in this series to see if we are treated to more of what is happening with her… I highly recommend this series to lovers of spicy supernatural romance stores filled with danger and suspense!

This might have been one of the best books in the series. Yes, I have read all of them. This one hit close to home. Covid-19 has hit us all. With a police officer that is somewhat aware of the supernatural, how could you not be living in NOLA...….. Add in a warrior angel, now we have an amazing story. So many twists and surprises I never saw coming. Once again these characters continue to throw you for a huge loop. Araton and Lia were perfect together. Book 22 and we still keep uncovering things. Absolutely loved it! PNR lovers will devour it. Thank for rocking again. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I don’t normally read a book labeled 22 in a series because it is not always a standalone
This is not completely stand alone there is some assumed knowledge and while the writing is engaging enough to overlook the feeling of jumping into the story late you can’t escape the nagging questions you get within the first few chapters
Add in the POV of random characters early on without real explanation of why their POV is important until later if at all
If you want to read this book at least read a few of the previous ones to get a better idea of the world you’re stepping into

I like Araton now!
I didn't like Araton until this book! And the fact that he falls foe a human cop from New Orleans is so cool. I would have liked if they at least decided where they are going to live though before it ended. I love how stubborn Liz is. Reminds me of Elise. The book compares her to Mack but I feel strongly that Elise was just as stubborn. I am surprised she is allowed to tell Jer best friend & her family about supernaturals. However, it's heaven so I guess their rules apply. The rituals in this book are darker than the others. Of course, Lucifer is trying to rise so they would have to be. So many lose their lives it's such a waste!

I loved Araton’s and Natalia’s story and this is book 22 in the Dark Warrior Alliance I’ve read up to book 17 so I’ve jumped ahead but luckily for me this story can be read as a standalone. Natalia is a cop in New Orleans and Araton is a warrior angel who has joined with the dark alliance his job was to kill the demons before they could get to earth. Sorry guys I’m not going to give any spoilers but this is a wonderful action packed nail biting story and I absolutely love this story/ series and I definitely recommend this book.

Exhilarating
I love this entire series. It just keeps getting better and better. I hope Abraxos is next and not too far in the future. You would think after 22 books it would get boring, but it doesn't. She keeps you wanting more and excited to read the next book. I can't wait for the day it's Izzy's turn to find her mate. I already know that is going to be one hell of journey.
If you love paranormal romance you must read this series.

Another amazing story in this series that I couldn’t put down. I love Araton and Lia’s story. Once again Lucifer will do anything to break free but everyone will do anything to stop him. Lia, who is human has come across the paranormal world and will help anyway she can. I love Araton & Lia together and their ending was perfect.

This is the first book of the series that I read. Maybe I should have start at book one instead of book 22. I am sure I would have enjoyed the story better, but even though I dive in the deep end of the story instead of at the beginning, I have to say I still find the story enjoyable.

Original series
I like the storyline of this series. However each couples intro, sex scenes and course of action are repetitive. I love the premise of the stories but after 23 books... I can almost predict the steps that will be taken to the eventual mating. That’s why it gets a 4 star instead of 5.

Heavenly
This is not my first encounter with these heavenly warriors. This is one of the best series I’ve ever read. Love the exciting, fast moving pace, with the real good vs evil as the theme. Now excuse me I have 5 thru 22 to read.

Araton
Geez how much damage will Lucifer do before his minions finally free him and cause even more damage. I love that Araton fought so hard for Lia, she needed him on her side. I can't wait to see what's up with Izzy.

I enjoyed this book in the main and the plot is engaging, although once again there were some issues with typos etc.
An enjoyable PNR book with more of our favourite characters waging war against the underworld.

Dark Warrior 22
This story was one of the best books in the series so far. I scored it a one star due to the use of the COVID pandemic in the storyline. Poor choice in my personal opinion.

July 12, 2020Not bad, I kinda glossed over reading the sex scenes. I actually can't remember the cabion's friend dying in the earlier books it's been a while.

Book 22 of the series is a hit.
A great continuation of the series! Wings and Dove FTW and I can’t wait to read what happens next with the story.

Officer fights for her light
Fascinating in parts, a little too much going on in others. Have read all the books in series, and felt this was not as smooth. Felt like many parts should have been removed.
And Izzy was a distraction.
