Featuring my review of paranormal romance mystery An Angel’s Wylder Assignment by Tena Stetler
Warrior Angel Killian Dugan’s annual trip to the family castle in Scotland is shattered by the arrival of Legion Commander North. Killian’s skills are needed for an urgent time travel assignment. A rogue demon has escaped back in time. He must discover the why and where and stop the demon before it can damage the past and change the future.
Killian’s girlfriend Chinoah Grace, a Native American shapeshifter is included in the mission which takes them to the wild west town of Wylder, Wyoming in the year 1878. She will have her hands full fitting in and making friends.
Nothing is as it seems. They encounter visions, spirit quests, and a mysterious shaman. On top of it all, blending in as a blacksmith is more physically difficult than he imagined. But not as challenging as keeping his hands off his undercover wife. Will they complete their assignment or run out of time?
Excerpt from An Angel’s Wylder Assignment
They waved goodbye to their friends and slipped out the back door. It was a bit of a walk to the Mists, but porting in broad daylight wouldn’t be wise. As they walked through the eerie Scottish Mists, the silence wrapped around them like a smothering blanket. A stand of druid stones emerged from the thick fog towering above them. Chinoah shivered against him. Magic rolled of the stones in warning. With the image of the 1878 blacksmith shop in his head and whispering spirits in his mind, their adventure began. His hands tightly wrapped around Chinoah, their duffels secured on their backs. He closed his eyes and focused his vision on Wylder, Wyoming Territory of 1878 inside Dugan’s Blacksmith shop. This was his first mistake. He was unsure of the blacksmith shop’s interior, as he’d never seen it. Instead, they are unceremoniously dumped, what he hoped was only several yards outside the shop, in the worst blizzard he’d ever seen. He tightened his grip on Chinoah. Guess I paid too much attention to the description of the building itself and let that disrupt my landing location. The wind-driven snow swirled around them, making visibility difficult if not impossible.
My Review of An Angel’s Wylder Assignment
This was a quick and cute read. The historical angle was fun, and I loved the homey feel from the town and characters (at least, most of them). There were also pretty dresses and some serious notes about the history surrounding Native Americans that all came together into a well-rounded story.
While the setting and general feel worked well, the romance didn’t feel like too much of an arc to me. The book started with the main couple sharing a bed and being very close/caring, and the big decision that needed to be made felt like a pretty minor subplot. I didn’t realize there was even a decision to be made until pretty far into the book, and it seemed like there was just a lot of waffling back and forth about something that really felt already decided to me.
All in all, definitely worth a read. There is an adorable puppy, which never hurts anything, and I had fun with this. Recommend to fans of fantasy and paranormal romance.
