**Disclaimer-18+ ONLY*****This book is book 4 in a series that must be read in order to understand the world, and is book 2 of Dante's story. This is PNR with erotic flares and is NOT for anyone under the age of 18 due to sex, language and violence. For the rest of you however, if you like your males alpha, your females strong, your sex scenes HOT, and a world you can lose yourself in for awhile...then enjoy. The Guardians await you.***Dante-Part One, was a journey of a half million years. It ended here…Dante has lost his Mate to a crazy Angel with wings. There is no greater pain for a Guardian than the loss of the only being they can ever love. Ripped from his arms as she was on the brink of death, Dante may go as crazy as Zaqar is. Put down like a rabid dog, he’s going to raise the Hells when he’s awakened from the forced slumber he’s been put in by Lucio to contain the damage he was causing. This Guardian is done with claims on his female. She. Is. HIS. Too bad the claims aren’t done with her. Giovanna has suffered greatly again at the hands of a true sadist. Hidden so well for so long, she’s now going to have to fight to live through the destruction; if she even survives it at all. What are the shadows that dance in her Mortal eyes and where has she been taken? What’s behind the secret middle name that her family gave her, but she couldn’t use… ‘Zenobia?’ Dante’s Mate could not be Mortal, but she’s not an Immortal either. She’s just an empath. Right?The Immortal’s have all lived their lives in lies, handed down from ancestors that can no longer lead them forward. Now, they must make a blind leap of faith and join the Guardians, or be cast out from the righteous in the fight for this world. If they’re not allies, they’re enemies…and there are already too many of those.The Four have surfaced; the real antagonists behind all the Shadows that exist. They are the puppet masters, and they will not stop until they rule this world with their true children; the Demons. The Queen is in the Hells with all the Originals while the Prince remains free. The seals are breaking one by one, it’s already in motion. Nine daughters to break the seals of the Seven Hells. Three are already born….‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.’ And it doesn’t, just ask Thia. She’s got plans for her Guardian when he wakes and they don’t include any more menages. Her curse is taking over in no small strides and she’s bathing in the glory of her hate. It’s consuming her…and she likes it. Zaqar has found his daughter that was slaughtered two thousand years ago. She is the tie that binds him to his Fated One and he would die before letting her go again. More than that though, he would kill. Paradise has had blood running through its valley before, and he would gladly let the rivers turn red again. Just like his eyes. Revenge is a disease that destroys all that it touches. When all hope is gone, some seek to sustain on vengeance in its place. Poison slowly building in the blood over time. The Pure One was the original rebel, the first Guardian to fight for our humanity. She is seen now, for the light she is to our world. Michael is watching, and this abandoned world is not so abandoned any longer it seems. And that was just the cliff notes of Dante-Part One. Part Two, begins now….

Like any author, you can find pieces of me in my words. The worlds within the canvas of my mind are open to you all in my work. They say that Authors write from what they know (or should!) and I am no exception to that.

My latest release, urban fantasy romance that is steeped in the Norse Mythology of Ragnarok, is the first of its kind in the adult market. It just won an award for best New Adult Romance a month from being published. I'm quite pleased with the reactions from both contemporary and fantasy romance readers alike for "The Last Valkyrie."

I'm an avid dreamer both sleeping and awake, and believe that hard work and originality pay off in the long run. I love my daughter, reading, hiking, movies, cooking divine and healthy meals, yoga, swimming, playing in the rain, writing, traveling, and fine wines. Stop by the website or blog sometime and say hello!

Much Love,
Jennifer Sage

H.O.L.Y. S.M.O.K.E.S.!!!!!!!

Jennifer Sage has completely blown my mind, once again, in this final book of The Guardian Archives Series. The entire series must be read in order for one to understand the intricate world that Jennifer Sage has created. I only WISH I had a tenth of her imagination and creativity.

Dante Part Two is the conclusion to Dante Part One and Jennifer Sage wraps up this series with new twists, turns, THE BEST SEX SCENES, and the most amazing conclusion one could imagine! My first questions to Jennifer Sage were, “But, what about Raith or Illyiana, etc.??” She has literally created a new world with so many characters and you will want to know more of them as you fall in love with her characters.

And, the cover?? *Fans myself* Wow! Dante is HOT!! Yes, please!

Jennifer Sage captured my complete attention when I first read Keltor, Book One in The Guardian Archives Series, and I’ve been completely enthralled since. I’m one of her biggest fans and…

… I. Just. Love. The. Way. She. Writes.

Mind-blowing! Captivating! Intriguing! Suspenseful! Erotic! Romantic! Stunning!

This is a MUST READ SERIES!!

I will read every single book Jennifer Sage writes and I won’t even need to see the cover or excerpt first. She’s just that good! Follow her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.sag...

Recensione a cura di Lilith per Feel The Book

Questa seconda parte di Dante riprende dal volume precedente; in pratica Zaqar porta Gio nella sua isola ghiacciata e le fa dimenticare il passato, con l’aiuto di un altro angelo la rende immortale facendo rinascere così la prima Zenobia, mandando l’anima di Giovanna -diciamo- in letargo. Zaqar è felice, nella sua follia ha ritrovato una delle sue figlie morte anni indietro; Zenobia, di contro, è insopportabile, egoista, prepotente, viziata (ovvio è una Regina -_-).

Quando Dante con Lucio, Liya e Sin si precipitano a salvare Giovanna, e scoprono cosa ha fatto Zaqar, dopo un attimo di panico misto a rabbia feroce, cercano di capire come convincere Zaqar a far tornare Giovanna, ma lui non vuole sentire ragioni, così Dante dice a Zaqar che loro sono compagni e DEVONO stare insieme oppure morire, ma Zaqar non vuole sentire ragioni: Zenobia/Giovanna è tornata e lui non vuole lasciarla andare, ma di fronte alla sua morte cede e convince Zenobia a seguire Dante. Da qui iniziano le tragicomiche avventure di Dante e Zenobia, la quale dà il meglio di sé per rendere la vita di Dante un inferno (poveraccio, una pazienza di Giobbe!); ogni tanto Giovanna riesce a tornare, quindi Dante si sente felice e cerca di sfruttare al meglio la situazione, ma Zenobia è troppo forte e i momenti felici sono rari. Dante, allora, cerca di avvicinarsi a Zenobia, tentando di farsi conoscere per far leva sul suo amore per Gio, ma la Regina non ci sente, anzi è sprezzante come non mai. Dante le parla anche del suo amore per l’arte, le fa vedere i suoi lavori, la fa cenare nel suo ristorante, cerca di trovare in tutti i modi un punto per avvicinarsi, ma Sua Maestà disdegna tutto, deride l’arte di Dante, insulta il suo ristorante di lusso e Dante va fuori di testa… giuro se non fosse un libro avresti voglia di aiutarlo a sopprimerla.

Nel frattempo i demoni si danno da fare.

Un nuovo demone è al potere, Azrael, e questo è diverso da Wolf, molto più umano come fisico e ha il potere di ingravidare le donne; il nuovo Re dei demoni è “aiutato” dai Quattro, loro vogliono ricreare il passato, ciò che Zaqar nel suo impeto passato ha sterminato, quindi i simpaticissimi Quattro vogliono far nascere a coppie di tre dei nuovi demoni, più potenti, usando prima di tutto le donne umane. L’esperimento viene interrotto da Dante e i suoi guerrieri, così Azrael cerca un’altra donna, se non che si presenta un’occasione d’oro con Thia: ricordate l’ex scopamica di Dante? Bene, il ragazzo è riuscito a farla arrabbiare, e di brutto, così dopo averla buttata fuori dal locale dove lei lavorava come prostituta (lei è in parte ninfa e in parte Jahi e si nutre di sesso), vaga in cerca di un nuovo posto dove vivere e i Quattro si infilano nei suoi pensieri e la conducono al Palazzo delle Ombre. Lì, incontra Azrael e viene tentata da lui e dai Quattro, finendo per accettare la loro proposta di diventare la Regina degli inferi: fa sesso con il Boss e rimane incinta di tre demoni, solo che essendo un essere immortale anche lei questa volta la gravidanza procederà senza problemi, e sarà potente molto più di prima. Tornando ai nostri guerrieri li vediamo prepararsi per il combattimento contro Azrael per fermare il suo piano oscuro e cercare di salvare Thia, nonostante il litigio lui ci tiene ancora a lei e vuole aiutarla, pur sapendo che se fallirà le rimarrà soltanto l’opzione di una morte certa.

Lo scontro fra il bene e il male è violento, Dante sarà ferito gravemente; sembra che i buoni abbiano sconfitto il male, ma così non è purtroppo. Sarà una vittoria parziale, perché riusciranno a liberare un’umana rapita e un’immortale torturata da Azrael e chiamata Sei, dal momento che le altre cinque erano morte. Parallelamente Zaqar viene portato da Resiayana per cercare di farlo tornare in sé, e parlando per vedere se in lui c’è ancora un briciolo di sanità gli dice che la sua secondogenita Zenovia non è mai morta, essendo stata salvata da lei. Lui non ci crede fino a quando non la incontra con la sua compagna e i loro bambini, qui Zaqar inizia piano piano a riprendersi, e a chiedere scusa per quel che ha fatto in passato, e sarà Zenovia a liberare il corpo di Gio dallo spirito di Zenobia, lasciando Dante e Gio liberi di vivere felici e a costruire insieme il loro futuro.

Il libro finisce bene, l’autrice in una nota parla dei progetti che vorrebbe realizzare – scrivere un libro per ogni guerriero- avanzando l’ipotesi di alcune possibili coppie (una l’avevo intuita pure io, muahahahha, e la attendo con ansia). Anche questo libro ci racconta sia il presente sia il passato, ci svela altri segreti e riusciamo un po’ a capire cosa potrebbe essere successo migliaia di anni fa: la ribellione angelica, la guerra fra il bene e il male come ebbe inizio e perché. Speravo che Thia rinsavisse, ma purtroppo la rabbia di una donna che si sente tradita forse ha prevalso e l’odio l’ha risucchiata nel male, mentre Azrael da alcune frasi lette mi dà da pensare a un probabile pentimento, forse…

In ogni pagina senti il tormento di Dante quando ha a che fare con Zenobia, e sale una voglia pazzesca di prenderla a sberle; vorresti ridere con Liya quando sbaglia le parole e dice una cosa per un’altra; avverti la passione tra Dante e Giò quando appare, e la paura di Giò alla fine di perdere Dante per le numerose ferite. Come per gli altri libri un brava a Mrs Sage per la storia e le emozioni che riesce a provocare con i nostri guerrieri e demoni in egual misura. Spero di leggere a breve il prossimo libro, mi piacerebbe che i protagonisti fossero Lucio e Sin, anche se conoscere la storia di Zenovia e Aphaia, la sua compagna, mi intriga parecchio. Ovviamente senza dimenticare la piccola Raith e i suoi mega disastri: immaginatevi una bimba vivace e aggiungetele un immenso potere magico, capite cosa può combinare, vero?

Smokin! What more can I say? I mean look at that cover! That sexiness is jam-packed within this highly anticipated part two.
The story is an awesome roller coaster that messes with your emotions and really drags you into the story. More depth is shown with the main characters and the journey they go on is really touching and gripping.
If you read part one you'll definitely want to pick up part two and finish the sexy journey of Dante's character.
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Her best work yet!!! Ms. Sage has outdone herself in part 2 of Dante's story! WOW, Just WOW..... Talk about redemption for a cliffhanger!! This long anticipated release was every bit worth the wait and then some. Break out the tissues again and find a really comfortable spot to park yourself because you wont want to stop reading until you reach the end of the book, I know I didn't. There are some very explicit scenes in this book and it is not for someone under the age of 18. The world created in this story is so vivid and beautiful you can see every detail in your mind as it comes to life from the pages. Your favorite guardians as well as some new ones help tell Dante and Gio's story. You will Laugh, cry and absolutely crave more of the guardians by the end of this installment. This book is a must read if you like paranormal romance and fantasy, I must say you need to read this series in order otherwise you will be missing part of the story. You wont be disappointed!! This book will exceed all your expectations and make you crave more of Jennifer Sage's books.

Awesome!

I love erotic paranormal romance with action. A romance with a real plot. I only skimmed over one sex scene because it was the second or third scene in the same time period. But it in no way detracted from the story, which was awesome! I hate writing reviews but this author needed one. I will keep looking for more Jennifer Sage.

what a roller coaster of emotions in this book. I felt so much for Dante in trying to get Gio back, that my heart was breaking.

This was much easier to read after all the characters parts came together. Did I miss what happened to Thia?

So happy with the turn out with Gio and Dante.
