Protected in Darkness is Nicole Edwards' first paranormal! I love a good angel, demon, vampire romance and I believe Nicole did a fantastic job! I was pulled in from the very start and didn't want to stop reading until the very end. Every character is intriguing, with a story that begs to be told. It's a series, so I know we will get all the stories we crave. But first up is Obsidian and Penelope. He's the first Warrior Angel created and sent to Earth. His brothers have been created and they make up the Misplaced Halos. Lucifer is up to something and Obsidian and his brothers need to find their amsouelot, their soul mate. They always knew it was coming and now time is of the essence. Penelope has always been different. She's an empath and studied the supernatural and has a fascination with other worldly things and beings. When she first sees Obsidian, she's drawn to him but doesn’t know why. He wants to know her, protect her and eventually make her his for eternity. Penelope and Obsidian's need for each other heightens every minute. They need to join bodies and souls soon. Will Penelope and Obsidian be able to make the ultimate sacrifice? Wow, this book was great! It has all the things I love in a paranormal romance: Lust, need, angels, fairies, sexiness, humor, intensity, suspense and more sexiness! I'm already looking for the next book. I can't wait to see whose turn it is!

"And when you're not out looking for soul mates… When you said you worked protection, you meant on a grand scale, huh?"
"Yes, I protect humanity from demons."
"My dad warned me I'd meet some strange people in Vegas."
