4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Angel - A pretty Good Read, March 30, 2003

This review is from: Dark Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my first book by Lynne Graham and I was pleasantly surprised. This book as already been written out in past reviews is about a really sharp up & coming young executive that got set up and shafted for embezzling funds from this family run wine company. After serving 5 yrs of prison term, he is freed and the course for revenge is set in motion. Part of his revenge is to reclaim the fiance that left him right before his arrest.

A lot of people don't like the hero, but I did. He is an alpha hero through and through, arrogant as heck, but very possessive of his woman. He did act like a jerk initially, but 5 years of prison, it kind of changes a person and he could have turned out a lot worst. In addition, he truly felt that the heroine may have known about his setup many years ago since her breakup with him was timed so perfectly. But after a few days of being together again, the chemistry and the feelings comes flooding back for the both of them. I also admire how the hero has risen up from poverty with a single mom and labeled a bastard child.

There were momemts where I felt the heroine was just too naive and should have "stood by her man". However, she too was searching for love of family and a sense of belonging.

The loves scenes were sensual but not burning hot. If they were kicked up a notch, I would have given the book a full 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a meaty long story, June 26, 2008

I won't tell you what's in the book that's what I believe the accompanying review is for. I will say LG is one of my favorite authors. I love her strong perfect males and her female characters that always have at least one flaw that all women identify with even if it's only the belief that some day our prince will come. All the ingredients are there, the strong male, the woman waiting for "the one", beautiful love scenes and happy every after. The enjoyment is in seeing how the author mixes these ingredients together. This author does it very well. I'm confident you will enjoy this read as much as I did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very impressed...., March 15, 2003

This review is from: Dark Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

Luciano da Valenza has just been released from prison where he spent five years serving time for a crime he didn't commit. Now that he is free, his thoughts have turned to revenge. He began with the Linwoods, who he believed framed them, and then to the youngest daughter, who dumped him the day before he was arrested. He would have never believe Kerry could have been a part of the plot to frame him, but why else would she tell him she couldn't marry him, the day before he's arrested?

Kerry Linwood has just learned that her grandfather took a loan from Luciano several years before that hasn't been paid. In an attempt to save her family home, she goes to London to see Luciano and try to reason with him. She is unprepared for his loathing of her. She is also unprepared for the desire she feels for him.

Lynne Graham does a poor job of writing of these two people. Luciano, to me, was a arrogant jerk who punished the one person that had loved him in his life. He totally disregards the reason that she broke their engagement. Kerry was depicted as a spinless, naive schoolgirl who was so overcome by lust that she set aside all the abuse that Luciano hurled at her. This is my first Lynne Graham and I don't think I will have the courage to waste a day reading another of hers.
