About this listen

It took one day to strip an Archangel of everything he held dear.

On the battlefield of Heaven, Uriel lost more than his left ear. He lost his Committeds and his will to live. Decades later, he’s drowning himself at the bottom of a bottle, with no escape in sight. He tried to end his misery, but death didn't take. Resigned to suffering eternity alone with only the ghosts of the ones he lost as company, the last thing Uriel wants is a new love.

It took one day for a hybrid to fall in love with a broken, lost Archangel.

As the hybrid spawn of Lucifer, Jesse isn’t exactly popular with angels; carrying the face of a monster tends to have that effect. So, he keeps his head down and secretly prays for the day someone can see past his golden eyes to the soul inside—the soul desperate for the solace only surrender can provide.

A grieving Archangel searching for hope and a reason to live. A hybrid yearning for a firm, loving hand, and a place to belong. Join Uriel and Jesse as they test the boundaries of love and the infinite limits of grace.

Cuffs & Carnations is a spin-off story within the Fire & Brimstone universe. It can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed after reading the completed Fire & Brimstone Scrolls series. Trigger warnings include: non-graphic mentions of attempted suicide/suicidal thoughts, cavalier commentary/dark jokes about suicide, self-destructive abuse of alcohol and the resulting withdrawal symptoms, and elements of BDSM and kink, including bondage, impact play, power exchange, and light breath play.

I loved the Fire & Brimstone series. Cuffs and Carnation is a spin off of that series that can be read as a standalone. However, you will definitely enjoy reading it more if you already know the series, as I reencountered some characters I already knew and loved.
Uriel's storyline pretty much destroyed me at the end of the Fire & Brimstone series. And I was very happy to see him get a story of his own. Archangel Uriel is broken after the death of his companions and he lives an unhealthy life of pushing everyone around him away. However, Jesse fell in love with Uriel a long time ago and Jesse never gives up hope. This book was an emotional roller coaster. My heart broke for Uriel and thankfully was put back together in the end. I loved this story. It is dark but that was to be expected. However, it is also full of hope and I found this story very entertaining.

Kirt Graves did an outstanding job. As a listener, you could immediately hear every mood Uriel was in. I was able to tell the characters apart well. He brought the book to life in a fantasic way. Kirt Graves made a great and emotional book even better with his performance! I highly recommend this audiobook!

I knew Uriel and Jesse's story was going to wreck me, but even at its most painful points, their journey was so worth it. I was utterly hooked on every second of this book, and not even the intense, overpowering grief Uriel was drowning in could snuff out my hope that things would get better for him. In those first chapters, it was brutal to experience Uriel's suffering. Because I read the Fire and Brimstone series, I already knew and loved Uriel, and watching him fall and fall and fall into depression was excruciating. The only bright spot in the beginning was Jesse, and his submissive sweetness and compassion for Uriel was a soothing balm. For a long time, Uriel fought against his connection to Jesse--considering himself too broken and damaged to deserve love, but Jesse never wavered in his feelings. Little by little, over chess matches and "no-strings" BDSM scenes, Jesse became a fixture in Uriel's life. The brightness he carried with him was a stark contrast to Uriel's despair, and though some may think they shouldn't have worked together, they genuinely did. I fell head over heels for their relationship before it even was a relationship, and every time Uriel pushed Jesse away it hurt me all over again. Uriel's healing journey was painful, so painful, but knowing that he finally saw something redeemable in himself was also wonderful. This story didn't gloss over the messy, terrible parts of grief, and I loved it more for that. Because I felt Uriel's pain so intensely, it made his recovery even more impactful. Uriel never forgot his Committeds, and loving Jesse didn't mean erasing their impact on his life. Choosing to risk love again was the bravest thing Uriel could have done, and he definitely made me cry when he opened up to Jesse and laid the last of his demons to rest. My heart is so full for these two and the happiness they built together, and I was crying happy tears listening their epilogue and seeing how sweet their life turned out.

I loved the Fire and Brimstone Scroll books. The ménage story between Riley, Jai, Noel, and Gideon. How four men could come together under such dire circumstances and make it work.

During that final battle, though, Uriel lost his committeds. That loss hit me, although I was still working through the injuries of my beloved four, and so the true depth of his sadness didn’t permeate. In this book, I got a real sense for how deep the pain went. From missing his lovely Delilah and their third, Obi, I saw the relationship through Uriel’s eyes. How he’d loved and lost. How he just didn’t want to keep going but couldn’t manage to die. How liquor kept him going.

Enter Jesse. As Lucifer’s spawn, he’s not well-regarded by the other angels. His friendship with Riley and some others brings him some comfort, but he’s missing out on a deeper connection. Then he meets Uriel and everything changes.

The relationship is not smooth sailing. Or all sunshine and roses. These are two men with profound feelings of pain. Men who struggle. Uriel especially, but Jesse’s not got an easy go of it either. As they formed the basis of their relationship – BDSM – feelings began to grow. Then one day they realized just how deeply they cared. Uriel has some crap to deal with first, but eventually things looked up. Now, this is a romance, so I got my happy ending but man, did Nikole ever make them suffer first.

Kirt Graves is the perfect narrator for this series. He’s got Uriel’s dry wit and accent down flat while also being the perfect Jesse with the freshness of a younger man. I highly recommend the audiobook.

Uriel and Jesse, well, dark is an understatement. We have death, mourning, BDSM, Archangels and Lucifer spawn. What a combination. But a great one at that.
Although it's dark and a lot of anguish, very enjoyable.
But a hell of a ride and worth every moment.

I have to praise Kirt Graves for his brilliant narration of this book. I did have to speed up, but that's normal for me. I read at speed 1.35 on audible. Very enjoyable to listen to.
