From Publishers Weekly

Savvy Palm Beach PI Angel Devlin, who wears both stiletto heels and a stiletto knife strapped to her thigh, knows trouble when she sees it, and it's written all over handsome-as-sin Tom Donovan, an ex-alligator wrestler who recently became a billionaire. Tom seems intent on getting to know Angel better, and she soon learns why. Tom wants access to reclusive Holt Hudson, Tom's godfather and the only one who knows what really happened 26 years earlier when Tom's father was fatally shot in Holt's mansion. But despite the incendiary attraction between Angel and Tom, she realizes she must keep Tom from Holt or risk having Holt cancel the charity gala she talked him into hosting at his estate. Though nearly incandescent with sensual heat, Berg's latest (after And Then He Kissed Me) feels like a cross between a soap opera and Alias: Angel slithers into a red hooker dress to go undercover at a strip club, her ex-husband's name is Dagger, and designer dresses and handbags receive enough page space to be minor characters. But the protagonists' affection for their families and the real-life problems they face (such as Alzheimer's) prevent this beach read from succumbing entirely to silliness.

Product Description

Top 7 Reasons Why She's No Angel

7. Easily Palm Beach's sexiest private investigator, Angel Devlin always gets her man -- and bad boy millionaire Tom Donovan is at the top of her Most Wanted list.

6. Instinct tells her that drop-dead-gorgeous Tom has something wicked up his sleeve, and she's going to get up close and personal to find out just what.

5. Her list of nocturnal activities includes lifting a wallet while seductively skimming her hands over her victim's rock-solid chest and performing a bewitching lap dance at a seedy underground club.

4. There's nothing sweet or innocent about Angel -- she's as sharp as the steel stiletto she wears strapped to her shapely thigh.

3. Her motto is "dress to thrill." A tight skirt, a hint of cleavage, and a pair of kick-ass Jimmy Choos will make a man open up and divulge all sorts of little secrets.

2. Angel is devilish, devious, and sexy as sin.

1. She's the first to admit she's no angel, but it doesn't stop Tom from falling head over heels in love with the mischievous blonde.

3.0 out of 5 stars "I'm Not Interested", July 12, 2004
Angel Devlin is a tough PI who wears a stiletto concealed under her skirt and a combination lock on her heart. Ever since her divorce from knife wielding, Dagger Zane, the only men she's had eyes for are the adulterous husbands she's paid to follow by Palm Beach's high society dames. That is until she notices a handsome stranger following her from millionaire recluse, Holt Hudson's house, where Angel's been planning the charity ball of the season.

Growing up on an alligator farm in the Everglades, Tom Donovan is no stranger to dangerous reptiles. But nothing has prepared him for his new position as Palm Beach's most interesting piece of gossip and millionaire bachelor extraordinaire. While he may have just inherited big bucks, Tom's not interested in designer digs. The only thing he wants is to find out the truth surrounding the night, twenty six years ago, when Holt Hudson shot and murdered Tom's cat burglar father, Chase Donovan. But whether he's interested or not, when a honey-blond bombshell PI picks his pocket, she also sets in motion the tumblers on both their hearts.

Patti Berg's "I'm No Angel" has all the right pieces for a suspenseful romantic comedy, unfortunately on this story they just don't fall into place. The main characters' unbelievable and unrealistically quirky backgrounds were too much for this reader, making what should have come across as humorous read more like farce. The romance, while sizzling in the bedroom, felt contrived once Tom and Angel had their clothes back on, but the mystery did take a curve at the end. I'm recommending the only other Patti Berg story I've read, "Stuck On You" - its marginally better and made me smile. As for "I'm No Angel", I'm putting it in the "I'm Not Interested" pile.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring!!!!, November 8, 2004
I had to give this book two stars, for potential and the fact that I could tell the writer had talent just not in this book. The main character Angel is so flaky,unbelivable, and well just boring.As for the male lead Tom.... well he sounds cute and thats bout it. His past is intresting and would make for a great story,the same goes for Angel but I just didnt feel any sparks between the two main characters besides having lots of sex. It was all together boring, ummemorable, and bland. Really just to reiterate.. The book had potential but lost it from the very begining with a lukewarm love connection, a very boring mystery, and nothing much else going on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Berg Delivers Again!!! A Hot Read For Summer!, August 9, 2004
Ms. Berg is an author that I pick up automatically. She always has qirky characters, fun storylines, and great chemistry between the main characters. This story was no different except...this time around things are a little hotter, and a little darker. These changes only show that Ms. Berg is a whole lot more talented in weaving a story that will have the reader glued to the pages.

Angel Devlin is a "once bitten, twice shy" P.I. for the wealthy Palm Beach society crowd. She drives a red Jag, and lives above a dog grooming establishment. Oh she also wears a stiletto, Jimmy Choos, and nice clothes. She also has an ex-husband named Dagger Zane who took her to the cleaners when she finally divorced him. As if this was all not enough she is planning a gala ball for an Alzheimer's fundraiser (her mother has this disease) and has talked a rather reclusive man to host it at his estate. Why is this a problem? She has to keep him happy and march to his tune. That shouldn't be a problem but it becomes on once she appears on the radarscreen of Tom Donovan. Tom is big, bad, handsome and trouble! Of course when you add Dagger, and a secret that Tom wants to solve to the mix you have the making for a great story.

Tom has a dark past and a mystery he has to solve. His father was acused of stealing a statue, and attacking the wife of his best friend. Of course he was killed during the commission of these crimes. Tom is out to prove that his father had not stolen anything, or attacked anyone. This leads him to his godfather the one person Angel has to dance to. He thinks he can use Angel to get to his godfather. What he doesn't expect is falling for the sexy Angel. Now he has to make a choice. Clear his father's name and find out the truth about what took place the night his father died. Or let the past lay and find love with Angel.

This was a very fast read full of great characters, humor, and great chemistry between Angel and Tom. The storyline regarding Tom's past was very entertaining and the mystery was solved at the end of the story. This was a very good ending. Ms. Berg delivers on all counts with her latest effort. I highly recommend Ms. Berg for a great entertaining read!
