Gregori Sun is a former rider, a supernatural being born from a Russian god and a Mongolian shamaness. He is known to the Baba Yagas and the Otherworld as the mystical and the cool-headed Red Rider. Now mortal, Gregori searches for a way to reconnect with the universal energies and reclaim his natural equilibrium. He joins a Buddhist Monastery in Minnesota to control the sudden manifestation of new abilities. Fate keeps throwing an intriguing librarian into Gregori’s path during his search for his spiritual mother. Will Gregori find his mother before it is too late? Can Gregori discover a way to regain his inner balance before his new talents consume him?

Ciera Evans works as a university librarian. She volunteers at a local soup kitchen in her free time. Ciera secretly stalks the wintry streets in search of the person responsible for her late mentor’s death. She meets the peculiar yet gorgeous Gregori Sun at the library, and she aids him in his odd research. Ciera grows alarmed when he appears at the same soup kitchen she works at. The dark past she tries desperately to bury re-emerges and threatens her new existence. Can Ciera exorcise her inner demons enough to let Gregori in? Will Ciera succeed in finding her late mentor’s killer?

I have always liked Gregori from his appearances in both WICKEDLY POWERFUL and DANGEROUSLY CHARMING. His level-headedness and inherent spirituality rounds out his brothers Mikhail’s charm and Alexei’s robust exuberance. I like how for a former immortal, Gregori is susceptible to the same weaknesses as mortals. He tries to push past the trauma caused by a power-mad, former Baba Yaga and reclaim his innate balance. I adore how Gregori assures both Barbara and Bella that he does not hold them responsible for his and his brothers’ new circumstances.

I had some difficulty connecting with Ciera. Generally, I like a good strong-willed and independent tortured-heroine type, yet there is just something about her that felt one-dimensional. Ciera has been through much, overcoming the many obstacles thrown in her path by re-inventing herself. However, I admire her courage to pick up her late savior/mentor’s mantle by helping the downtrodden. I understand Ciera’s reluctance to allow Gregori or anyone else close. But what I like most about her is how Ciera dedicates the majority of her free time at the homeless shelter.

DANGEROUS DIVINE is book two in Deborah Blake’s paranormal series, BROKEN RIDERS, a delightful spinoff from her BABA YAGA books. It is necessary to read the previous series to better understand Gregori’s unique circumstance. I only wish this story had the same supernatural angle as the prior book, DANGEROUSLY CHARMING. However, I like that Bella Young from WICKEDLY POWERFUL, book three in the BABA YAGA series, plays a vital role in the plot.

DANGEROUSLY DIVINE is a positive tale of two tortured souls conquering their internal handicaps enough to discover love. I love this brilliantly creative world that Deborah Blake created. I cannot wait for Alexei to get his happily-ever-after.

Dangerously Divine by Deborah Blake is the next book in her immortal riders series. After Gregori had been kid knapped and torchered has decided to be a monk. Ceira works in the library and helps at the shelter. Ceira is also a vigilante trying to continue the work her mentor started. They meet at the library and again at the shelter. They fight there feelings and then a storm that is unnatural hits town they both have reasons to be out in it. They fight there feelings for each other and try to fix things before it's to late! Great read and a good edition tovthe series. Highly recommend!

received this ARC copy of Dangerously Divine from Berkley Publishing Group. This is my honest and voluntary review.
I've read Blake's Baba Yaga series and totally enjoyed, so leaped at the opportunity to read Dangerously Divine. This story focused on "retired" Rider Gregori Sun. He's joining a Buddhist Monastery to reclaim his serenity. He meets Ciera Evans, a university librarian, when he goes to her library to do research to find his mother, whom he has not seen in centuries. Gregori and Ciera meet again at a soup kitchen for teens, where they both volunteer.
Ciera, is secretly a vigilante, helping teens that are being abused or drug addicted to get free. Gregori and Ciera are drawn together by chemistry and circumstance.
It was good to see the appearances of the Baba Yagas that made the original series so fun. I found this book to be very enjoyable, though the relationship between Gregori and Ciera seemed to move more quickly than seemed plausible.
All in all, I found the book satisfying for the most part in resolving the many issues of our protagonists.

Absolutely loved this, a little different than the last, and from the other Baba Yaga books. I loved Sun's story, and thought that the way the two protagonists came together in this book was so good.
