Book Description

Publication Date: March 28, 2006

Angel . . . or the devil in disguise?

On one final mission for the Crown, David Donally is hunting for a missing treasure. His only clue is a dazzling, gem-encrusted earring, and it is leading him to the most desirable woman he has ever known . . . an enchanting thief he once seduced and betrayed in the name of duty . . . an exquisite lover he'd believed was dead . . . his wife!

Meg Faraday thought her former life was behind her—until the night the treacherous husband she'd eluded suddenly appeared. By rights she should despise the handsome spy who had captured her heart, then shattered it. But the fire between them still burns, and what was once an irresistible passion has now become a dangerous game of betrayal . . .

About the Author

Melody Thomas is a wordsmith, a creator of dreams, and a passionate believer in happy endings. A product of thirteen schools and twenty-two moves stretching across the United States and Europe, she is a self-proclaimed gypsy. Her fascination with historical romance began when, in her teens, she visited the Tower of London and learned that Henry the Eighth had beheaded two of his wives. This was great fodder for her teenage imagination and the start of a love affair with history, intrigue, and irresistible heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex, deeply moving and worthwhile, May 5, 2006

This review is from: Angel In My Bed (Mass Market Paperback)

This well done novel delivers a little more toughness in tone that is refreshing. Not only are the two lead characters unpredictable in the results of their relationship--rare in a romance novel!--but there are a good half-dozen supporting characters each memorable and written with personality and shading. The combination of international politics-Calcutta, India--plus an overlapping story of one of the leads set in Ireland really gives a depth to the writing as well as quite a few giggles when the infamous "F" word is delivered in an Irish accent. Took several times for me to catch that one!! Overall, great writing with a welcome twist.

Melody Thomas is an author that delivers a great read every time she puts a book on the shelf. Her stories and characters are interesting and passionate all the time. I picked up A Match Made in Scandal a year ago from a shelf in a drugstore. Melody Thomas was an author I'd never heard of so I had no great expectations that the book would be a worthwhile read. It turned out to be one of the best historical romances I've ever read. If you enjoy historical romance, you can never be disappointed with one of her books. She rates right up there with Julia London, Gaelen Foley and Julia Quinn.

This review is from: Angel In My Bed (Mass Market Paperback)

First you really NEED to read the other books by Melody Thomas. In My Heart, Must Have Been The Moonlight & A Match Made in Scandal.

The first half of Angel In My Bed not my favorite. David isn't the same David as the one I fell in love with in A Match Made in Scandal. He's cold and a arrogant jerk. I wanted to slap him and say don't you know what you throw away. How can you not see that Meg/Victoria is a good woman. But as the book goes on it the David I fell in love in A Match Made in Scandal. Angel In My Bed what love in a romance tons of DRAMA that flows well and very believable. I HATE books with drama that makes no sense and makes you think what the heck was that about.

This book had everything you need to create a good romance: a dashing hero, a beautiful heroine, a person who always seems to interfere with the hero and heroine, and, most of all...PASSION!
The love story is beautiful, passionate, and the action fast-paced and exciting. Well developed characters lead us through a fast paced story full of suspense and action. Melody Thomas draw me into the story. Engaging characters, attention to historical detail, and humorous dialogue will kept me reading long into the night. The interaction between the leads was great. There is enough conflict to make the story line interesting and not so much that your left wondering why they ever got together.


I would have like to have seen more members of David's family.
