Alternate Reality Romance, Part of the Divinity Universe
Divinity Healers Book Two
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 knowledgebase. 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.

In the future, there are portals to different planes where different life forms and levels of evolution are found. Here, Gerard is a doctor on a plane where everyone is a doctor of something, from human health to agriculture. On another plane, Cecilia is also a doctor, being sent to Gerard to learn more medicine so she can come back and help her own people. On her plane there are strict guidelines for all human interactions, but when she meets Gerard, she finds no such restrictions exist. Can she overcome a lifetime of training to fall in love? Can Gerard risk going back to her plane to learn more about her way of life? Can either of them adapt to a new life on a new plane?
I found the premise of this book quite fascinating, and I enjoyed the story, but there were some loose ends I found left me hanging. For instance, how will Gerard and Cecilia exist in each other’s portals, with such differences? Who is Linnea, and what role does she have? Perhaps these questions are answered in another book in the series, but my feeling is always that I want all the loose ends tied up at the end of every book in a series.
In the beginning, there are extremely diverse goals and motivations, leading to strange conflicts, which are not totally resolved by the end. There is a great heroine’s journey in Seducing Cecila, and I’d like to explore Pillow’s intricate mind for more story ideas in her next books.
