Her touch can kill, but she has the heart and training of a healer. Peony, a cambion, is a slave in Hell. When she saw the tortured and brutalized angel, she was determined to bring him back from the brink of death, no matter what it took.
Zadkiel was angel with a mission, a mission he and his team failed at and now he has been made a slave in Hell, but the kindness and caring from the quiet half-demon gave him a reason to live and the hope that someday, he can return to Heaven, even if only to ...more

She was sold! The Morturs were totally evil and as a healer she knew what she must do but, would she survive her new owners? Z was losing hope. Where were The Darts and his little healer? Enjoyed the intense situations, the action, the exciting suspense and the mystery. Peony’s character was powerful even if she didn’t know how much. So much strong, different and good characters! A story with an action-packed, intriguing and entertaining plot development with lot of surprises and twists that

What a fabulous story. I started it full of excitement and I was not disappointed. The demons and angels are back though this time it’s Peony and her angel Z who are the main characters. How can an angel and a demon work together? Especially when one of them can kill with a touch. What happens if they fall in love. Grab a copy of this book, your favourite drink, curl up and enjoy a fabulous story. Highly recommend.
Just a few weeks ago, I posted on my blog the review for Deadly Passion. I was really excited about it because I went through an angel drought and it ended with this book.
I very much enjoyed Deadly Passion and definitely recommend it. The chief reason I say that, is because well you would enjoy Benevolent Passion a lot better with the background. I would not advise starting with Benevolent Passion as characters, relationships and events would end up being confusing. So trust me on this one, you ...more

In the second book of this series, another angel meets his match in a healer who was half demon and half human. Having his wing feathers ripped out, the angel, Zadkiel, is sold to the Halcyon Guild and is treated by Peony, to try and save his life since dead angels had no value. Feelings are starting to develop. All hell breaks loose when Peony is sold to the Mortus demons who were looking for her almost identical sister Dru who was wanted for killing Mortus demons.

This is a fantastic series and if you haven't read book 1, you must must must! This could probably be read as a stand alone but why would you when book 1 was amazing too and provides much needed backstory?
Peony is a cambion and doctor raised in the human realm. Z is an Angel whom was kidnapped, beaten, poisoned and stripped of his feathers by demons. The two have insta-chemistry but both ignore it for different reasons. When Peony is sold to the mortis demons and Z finds out, it is a race to ...more

Love This Series. Benevolent Passion is Book 2 of the Heaven's Heart Series by Amanda Pillar. This is Peony and Z's story. Amanda is an exceptionally gifted author with the ability to bring the story to life with words. You actually experience the story as if you are there. She weaves the treads of the first two stories in the series together like magic. Her character development and plot advancement is spot on. You are rooting for Peony and Z to be able to overcome their difficulties and get

I loved book 2 in this series and can't wait to get stuck into book 3. This story is about Peony and Zadkiel (Z for short). Peony never imagined she would end up a slave who's then sold for breeding stock. Z was freed from imprisonment and determined to find the key to heavens heart. But a mysterious illness is affecting him and no-one knows what it is. Together they fight to stay alive against the Mortus demons. Will they be able to find the key or will they die trying.

This book was freaking amazing!
I absolutely loved Z and Peony’s story that I actually pouted when I got to the end of the book because I didn’t want to leave their world.
Amanda Pillar is one mad story weaving genius, the characters and realities are freaking awesome!
I definitely look forward to the next book in this series because I have to know what else happens to these angels and demons.

This second installment in the Heaven's Heart series is OFF THE CHARTS. So much happens in this book. So many twists and turns that build on what Deadly Passion started and set up beautifully for Winged Passion.
Peony has a different kind of strength I found a nice change, and she grows as a character do to circumstances. Her feelings for Z were sweet and he was the right mix of dominant but not controlling.
Fans of Kresley Cole, Nalini Singh, K.F. Breene, and Larissa Ione will love this series.

This is the second book that I have read but Amanda Pillar. And I did not regret reading any of them. The first book Deadly Passion was just spark to ignite the fire in me but when I received a free copy of book two Benevolent Passion I volunteered to review it i taught Dru and Az had given me everything that I had ever wanted to read in a book but here comes sister # 2 Peony and Z. This winged Angel is too hot for me alone so for those of you who don't read this book as yet now is the time

Book one left me in angst for Peony. What would the Mortus do to her, I hated the king and the Mortus way of life and it would ruin her. This book filled in some detail of Z and Peony’s time together and have more depth to their relationship. The angst in this book was intense. Z has to decide what he wants from his future and Peony is too selfless to say what she truly wants. The story was a great read and the flow just made it so easy to get wrapped up in the lives of these characters.

Well let’s just say that life is a journey and sometimes it’s a tough one to walk. Peony and Z both have a tough path to follow and the journey is only just beginning. They do end up together in this book but getting there was no walk in the park, and keeping to it isn’t going to be any easier. There where lots of twist and turns in this story and the series has really only just started and it’s now left me wanting to read the next book all the more because I’m enjoyin the series that much.
Just couldn't slow down on reading this book. Loved how it went back a gave Peony and Z's history before and after they met. Great story line with it meeting up with the pervious book and then going forward. Z learns not everything it nor what it seems and Peony learns that being a good person still means sometimes you have to fit your way there. Lots of action and their are lots of reveals in this one, you learn alot.
I don't usually read angels books, because of my views on angels and demons. This story is actually about love and purity of heart. It also suggests that there is procreation among angels and demons. The consequences of such actions are also explained. God even has prophecies for such actions. This story is actually quite humorous and I liked Peony and Dru, because of their uniqueness.
Peony is a healer but she is now a slave to demons , Z is sick but he needs to find the Heavens Heart , these two are drawn together , her healing and his heart now they have to work together to keep him healthy and figure out
I love how this story is told and all the little twists and turns , I am so excited and can not wait for book 3

This is the second book in the Heaven's Heart series and OMG I could not wait to read Peony's story. As like the first book this one pulled me and and did not want to let me go. There is plenty of action and suspense revolving around Peony and Z to keep you pulled in till the last page. I can not wait to read the next book! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
These characters are so sweet - the kindest demon going and one of the youngest of the fallen Dart angels. The end of book one really had me worrying how Peony would cope. Sure, she had won over the Guild demons, but these are Mortus demons who she's been sold too. As for Z... Well. Read it and find out

Angels and demons, Oh My!
I stumbled onto these books and author by accident and i am so glad is did! This series gets better with each book and I’ve loved every word I’ve read so far. Peony is the silent but deadly character you can’t help by root for and Z accepting his fate made for such an amazing read. Can’t wait for more!

Utterly fantastic! I absolutely loved it! This can be read as a stand-alone but its best to be read in order to get the whole story.
The characters were enjoyable to read. They were the perfect balance for each other.
I do feel like there is so much more to this story but I’m hoping that the next books in the series will elaborate more.
Definitely can’t wait for more though!

Another one for the books
ITS SO GOOD!! Seriously people the second book following Peony and Z is just as good as the first. At first I was skeptical because I don’t like reading a series where each book follows a different character. But this book was definitely worth the read! You will not be disappointed and I definitely did not see it coming.

Good second book. I really enjoyed this story, great character and story line development. Strong female leads throughout both books, angels, demons and hidden secrets. I really like Peony and Zadkiel's story and it is a great paranormal fantasy romance series so far. I can't wait for book 3.
I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed. This story was interesting and enjoyable. The storyline was intriguing and unexpected in places, which was good. The characters were entertaining and engaging and their interactions were funny. A series I would continue.
Sometime when you read a good book and it’s the first in a series it almost feels like it peaked too soon. So I thought it couldn’t get any better than Book 1, but it did! I honestly laughed out loud at a few things and Z, the poor guy. I’ve got a soft spot for the clueless lad.
I absolutely love this series. This is Z and Peony story. And I loved it. Love the storyline. Lot of action and romance. Wish is what I love reading about. This is the second book in series and so far my favorite. Can't wait to read next book in series.
Mehhh the love story was rather vapid and shallow. The world building, while fascinating, wasn't enough to make up for the bland romance.
