Alternate reality romance, part of the Divinity Universe

Divinity Healers, Book 2

In a world obsessed with medical advancement, Dr. Gerard Fauchet longs for something more. When he’s assigned as the liaison to an off-plane dignitary, he never imagined she’d be so stunningly beautiful or so damned frustrating. One second she’s kissing him, the next she’s pretending nothing is between them. The passion is scorching, everything he ever dreamed of having with a woman. He’ll make her admit she wants him - or die trying.

Dr. Cecilia Markos is keenly aware that she’s been shoved through a portal to an alternate reality for one reason - to bring home medical advancements for the betterment of her people. Unfortunately, she only has two months to learn a world’s complete medical knowledge base. It’s an impossible task made even more so by the distractingly handsome Gerard, who she can’t seem to keep her hands or her mind off of.

As the erotic clash heats up between Gerard and Cecilia, the clock is ticking, and the time for seduction is running out.

Irresistible Desires . . .

Dr Gerard Fauchet and Dr Cecilia Markos come from two drastically different worlds. Gerard is given liaison responsibility to work with Cecilia who comes from a parallel universe. They look at medical advancements in a different way as dictated by their cultures. But Gerard is entranced by the beautiful woman he meets and has his mind set on seducing her into wanting him as he wants her. Cecilia’s sole mission is to grasp every medical advancement she can identify that would make her people prosper. But time is short for the magnitude of this task. And to make it more difficult, she has the added distraction of the handsome doctor luring her closer and closer to giving herself fully to him. Will their time run out before they each get what they want the most?

The narrator for the audiobook version is Rebecca Cook. She does an excellent job with the voices to personalize the story and make it easy for the listener to get an accurate impression of what each character is like, bringing them to life for the listener. It helps to set the mood, familiarize us with the characters, and is a pleasant way to “read” and enjoy the story.

Alien portal adventures

I really enjoy these well written stories by Michelle. This series about worlds from the other side of the portal are intriguing, with strong women and hunky men, the need for love and acceptance are the same worlds over. It is easy to be a part of her stories and become a community member. Feel good, happy stories that leave me wanting the next installment. I have both the ebook and the Audible book. Recommended.Sexual content.

A whole new world

Alternate realities are a thing in these books and Cecilia is freaking out when she’s asked to travel to one for research. She’s pretty sure she’s ready for the challenge but what she isn’t ready for is the animal attraction to one Dr. Fauchet and no laws to stop her from acting on those feelings. A fun love story about cross signals and different worlds that seem impossible to make work. This is a beach read with a lot of heat and a story line that will
Keep you entertained. The narrator was okay to listen to.

Really great book

Can doctors from two different planes of reality work together? Cecelia is tasked with learning all all the medical advancements she can from Gerard's plane and bringing them back to hers. She never expected to fall for him. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more.

Nice Story

This is book 2 in the series and is a stand alone book with a great HEA. The narrator does a great job of bring each character to life. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to all paranormal lovers. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

The doctors!

Doctor swoon. Two very different people who are both doctors but from different planes of reality. They both find change in an instant connection.

It’s super sweet. I also like that the time line of the books are all overlapping!.

Happy tearful twist

Michelle M Pillow's imagination knows no bounds and me as a listener am very thankful for that. Not to mention that Rebecca Cook is one of my favorite narrators.

This is the 2nd audiobook in the Divinity Healers trilogy Seducing Cecilia. The timeline for this audiobook is 1/2 to 3/4 into the first audiobook Ariella's Keeper.

Dr. Cecilia from the New Order Society reality & Dr. Gerard from the "sterilized medical" reality (I have no idea how to spell the reality name. Sorry.) are the stars in this story.

First off, the New Order Society sounds horrible. You need written consent between to people for everything....even before you can do something so simple as giving someone a kiss. I don't even think you can hold hands. Plus, as children they are tattooed with a number on their foot and microchiped. The microchip isn't just for location tracking, it tracks Every aspect of their lives, even as adults. The only exception is Cecilia's assistant during the medical research mission. Her body chemistry shorts out the microchips. As such she breaks the rules/laws multiple times. I won't tell you which ones so you have to listen to find out but it's a doozie.

Dr. Gerard is to be the guide for Dr. Cecilia and her assistant but he isn't too thrilled at the prospect but he knows to be professional. That is until he sees Dr. Cecilia for the first time. He was totally and completely awestruck and his professionalism doesn't last long. In fact, it only lasts until he gets her alone outside the hospital. He's a fast mover. Cecilia being where she's from is so rigid and use to consent forms and "anti-chaos" that she eventually slaps him. She is attracted to him she just doesn't know about his reality rules & hers are so ingrained in her. That all changes for Cecilia about halfway through the transport ride when she wakes too early. She panics a bit and forces Gerard awake. This causes him to grumble about the remaining 2 hour ride. Really?? Yep, 2 hours. What a grump right? Well, Cecilia does a great job of taking his mind off of the remaining ride. (wink wink). She actually said it must have been his pheromones, hurting his feelings a bit, and wants them to be only professional when they arrive at the research center. When Gerard honors her wishes, her feelings get hurt and she kinda acts like a brat. I literally wanted to smack the back of her head.

Once at the research center, Cecilia is very surprised to find that nature is completely blocked out by walls and a dome. The researchers even wear bio hazard suits when outside the wall to collect specimens from the forest. Talk about overkill. This reality is almost as constricting as the New Order Society reality. Cecilia and her assistant are suppose to be there for 2 months to find a new medical advancement for her reality however, it seems they speak the same language but don't write the same language. This causes the process to go very slowly to only find out she found the cure for........(it's too funny to spoil. Listen to the audiobook to find out.) At the end of the first month we find out that Cecilia hasn't even left the 3 places in the center she was shown on the 1st day. The place is huge but she just didn't know if she was allowed to explore and experience her environment. That reality of hers really did a number on her. Fun fact: Cecilia did loosen up around Gerard and in private, they didn't stay professional very long. 😉
But she still can't wait to get home back to her regular life.

In enters the "Medical Supreme," and his mystery illness which is unheard of in the medical reality. Due to this he mandates that the portal be closed indefinitely. The New Order Society anti-chaos mindset are not having that and demands the women return in 2 weeks. This unfortunately turns into a political tug of war with the women and ends up having an effect.....(I won't say but it does end in a happy tearful twist!)

Oh, and I want a transport so bad. I mean type in coordinates get spritzed with sleeping gas and wake up at your destination. Who wouldn't want one.

This is a wonderful sequel to Ariella's Keeper with another interesting reality. This is definitely 10 star worthy. I highly recommend this audiobook so.....you are advised to buy with one click right away.

Great sci-fi novella

This story was engaging and well-written. The world building was fantastic. There is a lot of story packed into this novella. The political climate felt so realistic. Both worlds seemed oppressive in different ways and politicians liked to flex their political power to feel important. The connection between Cecilia and Gerard is instant and intense. Cecilia has never experienced such deep emotions before since the anti-chaos society would not allow it, but that all unravels when she meets Gerard. The struggle for Cecilia to comprehend her and stop feeling guilty of own feelings was very relatable and it’s understandable considering the oppressive rules of her world.

My only complaint about the actual story is that we don’t find out enough information about Linnea. I understand that it’s because she’s the protagonist of the next book, but I wish that she and Cecilia had spoken more. I disliked that the only interactions between Cecilia and Linnea were so abrasive, especially on Cecilia’s part. When Cecilia realized that Linnea was reading medical texts, I wish that she would have talked to her and asked for her input.

I listened to the audiobook version of this. It was great quality but the narrator used strange voices for each character, especially the protagonist, and it really weirded me out. It sounded like Cecilia seethed almost every time she spoke, like she was some sort of villain. The whisper voices also made me cringe. This probably would have been 4.5 to 5 stars if not for the weird voices.

I'm glad I listened.

This is a review for the Audible version.
Gerard isn't jealous of his friend, he just wants other things in life instead of being a doctor in his plane. He'd rather explore all the other planes. To have some adventure and excitement.
When he first sees Cecillia, he knows he's as attracted to her as she is to him. That's why he had to kiss her. But the "cool" Dr. may be hard to heat up but when she gets going. . . He's determined to see her passions unraveled, unhinged just for him!
Cecillia isn't used to the chaos Gerard ignites in her and it's at their first meeting! In her plane, such actions aren't done. Kissing, touching and without a consent agreement?! She only responded because. . .she's intrigued by him. (yeah right) But she can't allow it to go any further. Or can she?
They both know it will only be a short time together but try as she might, the pull is too strong and passionate chaos WILL ensue.
I liked both of the MC's and the narration was done very well. I LOVE a bold man and Gerard has it in spades.
Cecillia is unsure of herself, feeling like she's out of her element but she never gives up and I liked that about her.
Yes, I recommend you give this a listen.

“I Will Wait For You Forever”

Cecilia has left her home plane of 187 to visit 303 in order to learn more about their medical advancements. Gerald is smitten by Cecilia from first glance - but how will he get her to agree to a liaison her plane deems chaotic and illegal? I loved their back and forth, tug and pull, between their feelings and propriety. Rebecca Cook did a fantastic job giving Cecilia and Gerald voices - this story felt rich and entertaining.
