“Entwined Souls (Celestial Affairs 1)”

Links to buy at Amazon: US, UK

Falian thinks he’s insignificant. He’s about to discover a destiny that will affect the world. He’s about to find a love that will change it.

When Falian refuses to accept a job he has been ordered to take, one that would involve hurting people, he embarks on a momentous journey to change his life. To his shock Quithlade, the Storm God, and Bymbles, a celestial imp, decide to join him.

Falian and Quithlade grow closer, but the Storm God had a previous relationship that will have a profound effect on the tentative feelings Falian is starting to have. Quithlade is irresistible, though, with a clearly undeserved reputation for untrustworthy behaviour that makes no sense. He is kind and affectionate, with extraordinary powers including the ability to shape-shift into various different creatures.

Falian thought he knew everything about the mortal world, but he’s about to discover supernatural creatures he never knew existed and face worse danger than he thought possible.

Deities and mortals aren’t supposed to mix; they certainly aren’t meant to fall in love. Find out if Falian can get a happy ending in the first book in an epic fantasy series with an entire pantheon of deities who just can’t seem to stop getting into trouble.

Reviews

Amazon reviewers say “the story is filled with betrayal, lies, secrets, surprises and danger. An adventure from beginning to end and Falian was a character I couldn’t help but love, he put others before himself no matter the danger. This was a story of eternal love and is something that you must read for yourself to truly understand” and “the characters were the high point of this story: there’s a pantheon of fascinating individuals of various mortal and not-so-mortal origins, and they all just made me want to know more about them. Falian, unexpectedly set on the path of an epic quest, is easy to empathize with. There’s some fascinating world building as well, and so much to see and think about”.

Tanya is still unhappy over the outcome of the case into her lover’s death when she receives a request for the detectives to solve the murder of one of the rulers of Gudesfeln, the matriarchal home world of their colleague, Siglinde. Tanya makes it clear to the detectives that they need to solve this case if they want to remain aboard her ship.

Nick’s life has been shattered by recent events and now he not only has to work with Reese again, but he must also get used to Andim, a new detective who soon proves to be unreliable.

The women who run Gudesfeln expect docile, submissive behaviour from men, so being asked questions by the detectives causes fury. The Gudes people do not have individual fingerprints or other DNA that differentiates them from each other and there are no witnesses, making solving the crime seem impossible.

The detectives face one crisis after another, putting their futures aboard the ship and even their lives in jeopardy.

Peter is still reeling from the pain of his ex-wife’s affair and their subsequent divorce. As he takes on a new acting job, all he is concerned about is spending as much time as he can with his children. He is certainly not expecting to fall for charismatic actor, Alex, who is twelve years younger than him – not when his friends and family don’t even know that he’s bisexual.

Alex is hiding problems of his own, but this is his first major acting role and he is desperate to do well. His kind, sophisticated co-star, Peter, is a reassuring presence who increasingly captures his heart, but how will their changing relationship affect their job?

With everything to lose and those closest to them against the relationship, will their love survive everything that is trying to rip them apart?

Reviews

An Amazon reviewer said: “Alex and Peter have many struggles to get through in their search for a happy ending, and there are a couple of characters in this book who are just horrible people. The main couple never waver though. They are good men who are hoping for love. Each is willing to sacrifice a chance at happiness for the good of Peter’s children, and they smile as their hearts break. I just love them both.”
