Description

 On an alien world that crucifies men for prohibited desires, two boyhood best friends risk the ultimate punishment to explore a forbidden passion.


Nero: Dex Draven’s the most intimidating guy at our intergalactic next-gen leaders’ camp. And his psycho galactic tyrant of a dad has a crucifixion fetish. Our two races are deadly enemies, but Dex was my boyhood best friend. Suddenly he’s all grown up—and suddenly he can’t stop staring at me. I don’t know whether to be afraid that it’s all a figment of my telepathic imagination…or that every dangerous desire we’re forbidden to acknowledge is real.


Dex: I’m one combat-to-the-death away from the imperial command I’m determined to achieve. All I need to do is keep my junk in my pants. Besides, Ben Nero’s the most gorgeous, most maddeningly unattainable, most sought-after guy at camp. There’s no way he’d ever look twice at a buttoned-tight, hyper-competitive, compulsive overachiever like me.


Until the night I blunder in on Nero in the shower. Which is a total catastrophic mistake. Because letting Nero in close, the way I’m burning to do, means risking the ultimate punishment.


For both of us.


Anticipated Angel is a friends-to-lovers, first-time MM New Adult sci fi novella and the cliffhanger prequel to the published Astral Heat Romance Series.

Featured Reviews

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.


This is a short novella prequal. I read it after reading the series and feel it was more enjoyable to me to read as a flashback to the past. However I’m sure it would be good as first up reading also. There are some revelations that occur that are not disclosed in the later books that were surprising to me. Now I’m intrigued to know more about what happens after this book between Dex and Zoren and Ben and Kira. High steam - open door as usual. 5/5

I read this as an arc an am giving my honest review.
Upon reading this book, I noticed it was one of many and quite enjoyed it. It opened up some answers and information the other books had not have. All in all it was a nice read.

I requested this on NetGalley as a test to see if I would like it being it's a MM romance. I've only read one other of this type before and as a general rule it's not my cup of tea. This story though grabbed me. It kept me engaged with the forbidden of two men together in this sci-fi world. Be warned it's a cliffhanger series and this is definitely just a prequel! You have to read the whole series in order to get the full story. I'm putting the box set on my wish list to catch if and when it goes on sale. The other reason it captured me is because it's about two best friends and I love that trope. These guys are from different nationalities who are on the brink of war. They are both at the top of their race's special skills groups. I'm intrigued to see how this story evolves.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
