Conflicted by Lark Taylor

Hopeless Blessed Book 1

I devoured this book and I mean it I think I finished in about 6 hours, I couldn’t put it down. 

I have read the Damned Connections series by Lark Taylor so I knew some things about Nox and Micah. Especially the fact that they as a demon and an angel will hate each other from first sight. That may have been true, but Nox and Micah also feel an instant connection and attraction when they first lay eyes on each other. It turns out that they are fated mates and everything that entails. 

This book has a bit of everything. Spicy spice, enemies to lovers, fighting between heaven and hell, funny moments and a lot of working on their feelings. Just because they are fated mates doesn't mean that life is golden. They are pulled in different directions and people around and above them have a hard time accepting the fact that an angel and a demon can fall in love. 

It’s hard to explain what made me so drawn to these two characters, I think it is the realization that they are more alike than they first think. They both work in the grey area of all good/all bad. I also think the fact that they both care more for each other than the other person realizes drives the story forward. Because in the end both of them just want the other person to live a happy life even if they are not in it and that brings out the big sacrifices and love gestures. 

I enjoy the way Lark writes about heaven and hell as places in the grey area. Hell is not all bad and heaven is not all good and that for me is refreshing. The fight they go through to be together is what pulled me in and made me read the book as fast as I did. The “fight” may have been solved for now but I just know this storyline will follow us through all the Hopeless Blessed books and I am here for it.
