When the dust settles and the smoke finally clears, the victor will decide all. The fate of man. The fate of the heavens. The very universe will be shaped by their hand.
But through it all, a deeper struggle wages, the fate of two people; an Angel and a Demon, two halves of the same coin drawn together by a forbidden connection, fate intertwined by design but held worlds apart.
Bound by love, bound by honour, and both shackled by duty. Fated by the creator to sit at the crossroads of a war that tears their worlds apart. Can their sinful love truly conquer all? Will they catch the scent that lingers and find the ties that bind even the deadliest of enemies.
Lines will blur and hearts will shatter. In a battle of good versus evil not everything is always black and white, for even in heaven, shades of grey abound.

My review of Heavens Scent Book one. First I am a fan of zombie apocalypse genre and science fiction also. My third favorite is fiction involving angels and demons. So I was thrilled when offered an a chance to read this book before its release. Well this book stars two well developed characters that I found myself genuinely caring for almost from the outset. A love story that really involves two characters from different sides of the tracts. Such chemistry i've rarely felt between two individuals and i've read many love stories in many genres. This is more then a love story. A true battle between good and evil, demons and angels and the souls of those that wait in purgatory. A true descriptive story, descriptive in emotions , ambience, clothing, scenery and close quarter combat. This story is a story of love, lust, desperation and the battle that we fight within our own souls each day. This story was written by two authors who collaborated successfully from two different continents, plus each of the two writers were a different sex. I say that because I didn't detect that difference as I read each paragraph, each chapter and eventually the entire novel. The flow of the story could have had noticed speed bumps given the collaboration and writing of the two writers and instead the story flowed naturally. There was plenty of lust, plenty of sex and the emotions were portrayed more than satisfactorily. I cant wait for the next addition to the story.

This novel is addictive, magical and powerful. From the first page you are spellbound. An enchanting world of supernatural phenomenon.
Tania and Ricky Cooper team up to give us one of the most outstanding pieces of fiction ever. Original, exceptional, and a true page turner. Don't plan on getting anything done until you have finished this. The two authors are merciless in creating an unquenchable thirst for answers. As the story progresses, the addiction only intensifies. Mysteries unravel, characters grow, and the fictional world as we know it, will hook us in.
These two writers are extraordinary when writing alone. But making the courageous decision to collaborate only multiples their talent as they bounce from one another. Choosing to work with another author, especially of the opposite sex, can be a risk. Creative differences, tension, and worst of all, an uneven flow and pace, not to mention the writing style bizarrely changing. But this wasn't the case at all. They make the perfect power couple. They give birth to an almost indescribably magnificent book. This is one you will want to revisit every few years, a story too incredible to be forgotten.
Fast paced as we delve into a world where evil is insidious in its agendas. A unique writing style that gives excellent, somewhat poetic descriptions, whilst keeping the story moving. The words leap from the pages.
We are taken into an absorbing world where angels collect souls from purgatory while demons hunt for these angels. Which is incredible enough. But imagine what would happen if ultimate enemies fell in love? This leads into a tale of romance, power, good and evil, struggles and chaos. A love tale for the ages, as iconic in love as Romeo and Juliette. The two beings that are caught up in the woes of love, whether they like it or not. But they could not be more different if they tried. Which is one of the many reasons this is a truly epic tale. Dark, brooding evil lusting for the innocent and pure goodness.
We get a real feel for the characters, both good and bad. They become real people caught in a crazy world, where certain things are forbidden. Each have a purpose, a reason for being. Which could possibly become compromised when matters of the heart get involved. The battle between head and heart is almost as old as the world itself. This story acts as a testament to the belief that the heart wants what it wants. But even more so, if the head is screaming at the heart, detesting these feelings and forbidding them, turmoil is sure to ensue. But soul searching isn't the only problem. As with all great stories, they would not be complete without conflict. And conflict doesn't even come close to depicting the mayhem that reeks havoc throughout this novel.
All elements of this book have a vast appeal, from the magic, romance, battles, supernatural and many many more. I would recommend this book to about anyone for this reason. I myself love horror and thriller, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I adored this book. And this novel could not be further from what I usually read, and I was completely captivated by every page. Spellbound is the only way I can describe it. So buy this book. Buying a novel can sometimes be risky, if you don't like it. But I guarantee you, this is the least risky purchase you will ever make in your life. A for sure reader pleaser. You will not regret it.
Five stars isn't enough for this magnificent read. But as that is the highest one can rate, five it shall be. Unforgettable and gripping. -
We beta read this book and to be honest didn't know what to expect as its not generally our type of read BUT saying that i really enjoyed it!!!
The story involves an Angel and a Demon two of the most opposite people to exist in this life and two of most unexpected to become one. Watching this pair cross paths, watching him he become her protector rather than her hell, was exciting, She is so innocent and helping, only there to take the pain away He is there to cause the pain. He knows she is forbidden but he wants her....no NEEDS her.
What happens when the light of the world meets and falls in love with the deep pit of darkness of the world??? well you need heaven scent to find out....
Tania and Ricky did a fantastic job writing this book together which couldn't of been easy being in different countries, As a reader i could tell which author wrote which chapters, the angels being so gentle, soft.
The demon being dark, sexy and oh so manly but blending the the two together made for a very fascinating and compelling read. The main writing of the book by the two was strong and flowed easily , often by more than one writer you find cracks in the chapters but there wasn't it flowed well as each chapter progressed. I personally fell for the darker side of the book, but enjoyed the Angels gentle touch. A very Good , strong rather hypnotic read. As a first book by the Duo a fantastic debut.
This being one of the first books we have read of this type it didnt disappoint and we hope to read more by the pair -
I am a huge fan of Paranormal books and there is nothing better than a forbidden enemy love story involved. What can I say about this book.
To be honest I really enjoyed the story line and characters, but was disappointed with the over the top decriptive writing. I understand that the more description given by the author the better chances of the reader being able to image what is happening. But there is a time when there is too much describing going on, I also felt like there was a lot of repetition going on. Don’t get me wrong I know the book is told in a dual character and that there will be repetition but that isn’t what I am talking about. I also found it hard at the beginning of the book to try and keep up with what is going on and where everything was happening.
At about 40% in I was able to really start enjoying the book. Like I said I really enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read book 2 ‘Between Worlds’. The characters in this book are really well thought of and the little twists at every corner will keep you entertained and intrigued. I have read a lot of Angel falls in love with a Demon books before but never have I had the chance to read a book like Albion and Arianwen story. -
So I am going to try to be as concise as possible, but this book just has me all discombobulated. Firstly, the pov gets sketchy and hard to determine at several points in the story. You think you know who's talking but then all of a sudden, there's this weird sense it isn't that character anymore, only to figure out with a few re-reads of a section that it was a different character altogether. Furthermore, the narrative itself is disjointed and confusing. I couldn't really ever get sucked in enough to care what happened to anyone, and if I can't become somewhat invested in a story, I rarely finish, so it was tough to plow through the entire book. Lastly, there comes a point where there is such a thing as too many descriptors. In many instances it felt as if words were added simply to fluff up the page count. Overall, I can't say I'd recommend this if you want anything gripping, however, if you're looking for a leisurely read, give it a go.

A story of a battle between Good and Evil. A love story like no other.
What happens when a demon falls in love with an Angel. Reading Heaven's Scent will tell you!
An epic story of love, how bringing good and Evil together can happen.
We hear from Arianwen and Albion chapter by chapter, of there fight to love each other and how it tears there worlds apart.
Good and Evil can not exists together or can it?
I love reading paranormal and when I started this book I wasn't too sure, I have never read a book that has been written by two authors and I was dubious on how this would work out, but I kept on and I'm so glad I did. Tania and Ricky have put there heart and soul into this book. The descriptions of each character and what they are going through is brilliant. The chemistry between Arianwen and Albion is so hot it is amazing, keeps you wanting to read more. -
OMG!! This book is fantastic....I mean truly, an amazing love story that should not be missed!! Sexy and Sinful as well as Heartwarming and Loving...you can't help but be drawn into this series!! We follow the epic love story of Albion and Arianwen as their love threatens to tear their worlds apart! Like literally heaven and hell! The way they 'feel' one anothers presence, is written so beautifully that you love the moment her protector makes himself known. This is more than just a fight for the souls of others...this will be the battle that rocks them to their very core.
Can't wait for book two and love the way this book just flows seemlessly throughout the pages and you can't possibly help but fall in love with Little Wing and her protector, her love, her Albion. -
Wow, this book sent my emotions in a tailspin! It started out slow, laying the ground work for what turned out to be a story of Albion and Arianwen’s forever love borne from opposite sides of the tracks. No matter the obstacles placed in their way, they were always drawn back to each other. There is a loss of innocence and lives, lust and caring, building trust and protecting each other. They are wrought with pain and betrayal mixed with overwhelming joy. If you’ve ever met your soulmate you would understand the heart wrenching decisions that they made. This book was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review.

5.5 Stars
An emotional rollercoaster as an Angel and a Demon fall in love. This book tells a gripping story of deciding between right and wrong, good and evil. Their is love and pain combined to enhance the emotional upheaval as Arianwen and Albion are drawn together despite the obstacles cast between them.
Despite being wrote by two separate authors, this book flows almost perfectly. I hope the two continue to write more books together in the future. An outstanding job. -

Before I started this book I had never heard of Tania Cooper and Ricky Cooper or read anything by them. I don’t usually read books of this genre either so I didn’t know what to expect. However I absolutely loved it. As the saying goes ‘opposites attract’ and in this book they really do. Angel and Demon are probably as opposite as it gets. Angel is sweet and innocence and her purpose is simply to takeaway pain. And then we have Demon who is there to cause pain. Good and Evil really do collide in this book and the result is a wonderful love story. I loved both Demon and Angel but Angel stole my heart. Innocence and kindness is compelling. Tania and Ricky have both done an amazing job of writing this together despite being in two different countries. A wonderful book and I can’t wait to find out what they write next. -
Hello! I was blessed to receive an ARC from the authors in exchange for an honest review.
Initially I struggled to wrap my mind around the concept of the worlds the Angels and Demons live in and what they do (I read quite a bit of paranormal, but fantasy and sci-fi aren't my usual genres. So that may be the reason that it was tough for me to get into it right off of the bat). That said, once I did get into the story I was bespelled and quickly fell in love with the characters. This story will pull at your heart string, bring you up then bring you back down. The ride is totally worth it! -

Ready for the next book!
I wasn't sure about this book at first. It was a bit confusing to start. But soon enough, I couldn't put it down. I was dying to know what happened next. Highly encourage you to buy this book! Total cliffy though.....grrrrr hahaha I need the next book! I would have bought it now if it was available :) -
This book was beautifully crafted... the battles between good and evil, the knowledge that some evil does lie within good and vice versa. I loved every minute of this story and I'm about to look for book 2 (please be out, please be out!).
