Angel of Death: Mages of Ravenshire Book 3, Stella Rainbow

For having trauma in their pasts this story was surprisingly sweet and uplifting.  The focus was kept on the men and how they both were uniquely right for one another which allowed them to work through their personal demons and become stronger individually before they became stronger together.  They needed exactly what the other could provide and I truly enjoyed watching them get to their HEA.

Yes, everything was pretty simple, understanding to the point of unbelievable, patient to the point of saintly, and sweet to the point of cavities, but there were also difficult moments that tested their problem-solving skills and stretched them to accommodate more than one would expect them to.  Both of them rose to the occasion and became the best version of themselves while being loved, supported, and encouraged from within and without.  They found companionship, community, and their heart's home.

There is freedom in letting go...

Niall:

When the man I thought was the love of my life sold me to repay his debts, I lost all hope of ever finding happiness again. I'd let him turn me into a vampire, and then he'd turned me into a slave.

After getting rescued from my prison, I swore I'd let no one control me ever again.

But when I find out my fated mate is a necromancer, the one type of mage able to control vampires and all the undead, I have a decision to make. Can I trust him, after everything that happened, or will I let my fears get the best of me?

Aeron:

When I escaped my captivity, I didn't expect to live. I was bleeding too much, and I had nowhere to go. I knew it wouldn't be long before my miserable life ended. And I was okay with it.

Then I woke up, safe, sound and completely healed, and I saw him. The beautiful, sweet man who couldn't bear to be touched but whose eyes were bright with longing. I knew he was important to me long before I realized he was my semnyar.

But what do I do when our shared demons are determined to keep us apart? How do I earn his trust when I keep using my magic on him?
