LIORA Lost In Heaven’s Touch ( Book 1 of the Whispers of Destiny series)
Liora: Lost In Heaven’s Touch is book one in the Whispers of Destiny debut series by author Ava Rogue. Liora: Lost In Heaven’s Touch is a futuristic fantasy-romance set in a reborn London of 2100, where technology and nature harmonize and healing is not just physical, but emotional and spiritual. The story follows Liora, a mysterious young woman who wakes up with no memory in a lush sanctuary called NexaGreen. As she navigates a world she doesn’t recognize and grapples with an identity she can’t recall, she forms powerful connections with three complex men: Yasim, a gentle scientist; Locran, a warm-hearted flirt; and Kairos, a closed-off surgeon with a painful past. Through this web of relationships, Liora embarks on a journey of rediscovery, love, trauma, and choice, all wrapped in a rich blend of futuristic wonder and deeply human emotion.
What struck me most was Ava Rouge’s writing style. It’s lush, sensual, and emotional, but never overwrought. She has a way of turning even a simple scene like drinking coffee or running through a city into something vivid and intimate. Her dialogue feels real, and her characters are wonderfully flawed. Liora is tender and vulnerable, yet quietly fierce. The alternating points of view, especially Kairos’s chapters, dig deep into the emotional walls people build to protect themselves. And when those walls start to crack, Rouge doesn’t hold back. The story’s pacing is slow in a deliberate way, inviting the reader to soak in every look, touch, and unsaid word. That said, there were moments where I felt the book lingered in introspection, especially from Kairos.
It’s not just a love story. It’s about trauma, memory, and the push-pull between safety and desire. I found myself rooting not just for Liora, but for all the characters to find peace in their own way. Kairos, in particular, frustrated me and broke my heart all at once. Rouge isn’t afraid to make her characters unlikable at times, and that makes them feel more real. The setting added a whole other layer; NexaGreen and London 2100 aren’t just backdrops, they’re reflections of the characters themselves. Rebuilt, beautiful, and haunted. There’s a rich world hinted at, glowing lynxes, projection symbols, AI enhancements, that begs to be explored further.
Liora is a love letter to the lost and the longing. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, or carried trauma like it was stitched to your skin, this book will probably speak to you. It’s a slow-burning romance about healing, identity, and the complicated ways we love. I’d recommend it to readers who enjoy character-driven sci-fi romance with poetic prose, emotional depth, and a heavy focus on relationships. If you’re a fan of soft sci-fi, found families, and angsty, brooding love interests, this one’s for you.

Angelic Love
Jasper: Book One of The Guardian League follows a woman in a near-fatal car accident who is rescued by her celestial guardian, leading to a whirlwind romance between them. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
Well…actually…I just wanted to write a story with a guardian angel and a human female. The angel, upon meeting her, would find her enchanting, fascinating and he would want to know more about her. The ideas for the story came to me, afterward, and I started building who he was, who she was and how they met.
Car accidents happen, sadly, quite frequently. I have heard some wild stories about how people have survived some horrific accidents and attributed their safety and wellbeing from the accident to an otherworldly force and I thought hmm…. What if Jasper saved a female from a terrible car accident that would’ve changed her entire lifestyle if he didn’t intervene and help her. The story just blossomed from that.
Tatiana is a relatable character that readers will be drawn to and understand. What was the inspiration for the main character’s traits and dialogue?
For traits, it was actually me. Lol. Yeah, I know. I place a lot of myself in my books. As a curvy girl, I have insecurities and worries just like anyone else but maybe even more so because of my voluptuous size and how I have been perceived in the past or treated unjustly in the past, solely, because of the shape and size of my body. Back then, body positivity was not a thing people spoke about or even emphasized. I am so glad it exists now because some of the memories I have are pretty traumatic and no person should experience them.
I wanted to portray a female that was relatable, down to earth, genuine and kind. One that has problems just like anyone else but keeps trying. One that readers could side with and root for their happiness. I believe every woman deserves a beautiful, handsome, sexy male. Curvy girls, too! That’s what I wanted to write about.
For dialogue, I kind of just went with the flow. I wanted the interaction between Jasper and Tatiana to be perceived as natural and comfortable like a conversation between friends. Her responses to him are in direct response to what he says or conveys. She genuinely likes Jasper, but she has reservations because she has been burned in the past. Albeit he is an angel, and she has to keep reminding herself of this.
Still, it is kind of awestriking and fascinating that an angel would take to a human in a way humanity has never considered. I think that fact, in itself, can be a lot to swallow but it can also be wonderful to entertain.
In fantasy novels it’s easy to get carried away with the magical powers characters have. How did you balance the use of supernatural powers?
Well, Jasper really only needs to use his supernatural powers in instances where he has to. The Council, a group of five men that preside over the angel hierarchy, has their set rules. Doing anything that goes against those rules or is done without a purpose for humanity or for an angels’ own purposes or intentions is unlawful and can be punished. No angel wants to go up against the Council.
Jasper is an angel so showing some of his abilities was necessary in the book plus entertaining for the readers. It also gives a sense of realism to the story. Besides co-guarding a charge, he is also part of the voluntary group called The Guardian League so any time he is on a mission, he needs to use some of his supernatural abilities to assist humanity.
I wanted to tie in the world we live in and the angelic realm so mixing a bit of both without giving the majority of attention to one or the other was my intention when creating this story.
Can you tell us what the second book will be about and when it will be available for fans to purchase?
Centurion is the second book in the Guardian League series, and it is available now, for readers. Centurion is also my second favorite angel in the Guardian League. His story is a bit different because he is an angel that does not want to be tied down/committed to anyone. Because he is handsome (as all angels are) and women are drawn to him, he has no concerns when it comes to needing intimacy or companionship.
Yet, when he meets a beautiful human female at an art show, where he is guarding his charge, he begins to question his thoughts and ideas about human-angel relationships.
Centurion is known as the angel that enjoys “strong and hot things.” His mate and coffee are examples of two of those “things.” It is a fun, enjoyable read laced with humor, character growth and a beautiful happy ever after.

Single female seeks rare, coveted treasure.
That was the announcement Tatiana wanted to post.
A strong, loving, committed male partner was what she sought. What she found, instead, were several frogs and too many toads. Where was her elusive prince? Did he exist or did she miss her opportunity?
Jasper isn’t seeking a mate. His only intention is to rescue Tatiana from a near-fatal car accident and then go in pursuit of his next assignment. However, intent and reality don’t always coincide. Saving Tatiana altered his world and now he can’t leave. But making introductions and claiming her heart was not going to be easy. He has a secret he is forbidden to disclose.
As much as Jasper craves Tatiana, he can’t override her free will. In the end, whether being with him or not is her decision. Will Tatiana welcome the powerful being who adores her and only wants to protect her, forever? Or will his secret be too much for her to accept?
Reader Advisory: A loving, protective angel intent on winning his enchanting, curvy, human weaves a fun tale interlaced with flirtatious foreplay and sensual, passionate moments.
