Can Aurora’s light heal Damien’s dark spirit or will his evil consume her?

Damien is an assassin, a man with no home and a tortured past. Sold into slavery as a young boy, he is trained to kill with cold calculation, without remorse. As a reward for his ruthless success, he is given a chance to earn his freedom from his cruel master. One last mission. One final person to slay…

Lady Aurora of Acquitaine is the epitome of purity and goodness, beloved by all her people. She lives her life trying to atone for her mother’s cruelty by being a fair and just ruler. Secretly she fears that one day her mother’s murderer will return for her.

When Damien enters Aurora’s life, tempting her with promises of dark passion and forbidden lust, he threatens to tear her peaceful world apart with shadowy secrets of his own.

The eternal battle of good versus evil, love versus hate, dark versus light, all come to a shattering climax in this historical romance.

review of angel's assassin

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was an exciting adventurous love story from Ms. Laurel O’Donnell that I was instantly captivated from the first chapter. All Ms. O’Donnell’s characters whether they be major or minor including the villains are just very well developed. That I wouldn’t mind hearing more about them especially Gawyn Damien’s brother by the way what happens to him?
I just immediately liked the hero Damien a mercenary without a soul but lots of heart who is dangerous but handsome to boot. Damien had so much inner turmoil almost fittingly the perfect gothic hero too that I seriously wanted to just hug the poor man. He honestly believed that he could never be saved or that anyone could truly ever love him when he had one fault and weakness falling in love with the beauteous perfect heroine Aurora. Now for some reason she just annoyed me! Everyone loved her and she could do no wrong. On top of that she was just so impeccable in everything, just in the treatment of her people and such a do-gooder I seriously wanted to gag nobody is that angelic! I wanted her to be at least human in some of her actions or behaviors and not so immaculate that I wondered at times what did she even see in Damien? Okay sure she felt that since being related to her mean-spirited, cold, callous and heartless mother that everyone would love her if she acted the total opposite of herself but seriously how much more perfect could you get? Yeah sure in her feelings and falling for Damien that made her less perfect but everything about the woman still made me like her even less. I guess I want a bit of realism to my heroes and heroines someone that I can relate too. No it’s not saying that I don’t like reading novels about superheroes but when reading a medieval historical romance if there are going to be superheroes in it then make sure it states that somewhere.
Now it sounds as if I didn’t really like the book all that much after picking on the heroine but in actuality I really enjoyed reading the story that is the reason for the four star rating. I will probably keep it in my library can recommend it and will purchase more of her works.

Not Bad

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 4, 2014

This is a very unique story about an assassin (Damien) who falls in love with his last assigned target (Lady Aurora of Acquitaine) before he can carry out the dastardly deed and gain his long-awaited freedom as promised by Warin Roke, his master. The plot thickens when Damien discovers a few other fellow assassins in his organization, seeking to kill her first. Suddenly, the lady has threats from every corner and Damien realizes that he wants, more than anything, to keep her alive because of his rapidly developing feelings for her. It doesn't help that everyone else is suspect, including Aurora's shady relatives who seem to have hidden agendas and scorned suitors who may want revenge for past rejection. In his initial desire to kill her first because he was tasked to by Roke, and also for his deep desire for freedom, Damien ironically becomes Aurora's personal body guard. He becomes so good at protecting Aurora from other assassins and death threats that Lord Gabriel, Aurora's father, has no choice but to deem him her best protector, just to keep her alive from one moment to the next. There is really not much to dislike about the book- it's unusual and interesting, has tons of action and romance, is very well-written, and has well-likeable and well-developed characters. The best part is that Damien finds redemption, revenge and peace in the end. The only issue that I have with Angel's Assassin is (spoil-alert) the demise of Lord Gabriel in the end. Also, I felt that Damien (another spoil-alert) could've done more to fight for Aurora after bringing her back to her castle, especially after disclosing a hidden, ugly secret when he first started out as an assassin. If he had, he might've prevented the unfortunate betrothal between Aurora and another man, in addition to Gabriel's demise which was caused by a broken heart and sense of loss over his daughter. Overall, Angel's Assassin was very likeable, unique and an all-around pleasant read. I may look for more of Laurel O'Donnell's books in the near future. Hopefully, she'll write a story with another assassin in it- this time with the heroine in that role!

A Gripping Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2018

Intense. That is the first word that comes to mind. I was not prepared for the emotions that took control as I read this story. A true battle between good and evil with a hero that needs saving just as much as the heroine. Damien, a trained assassin, has been raised in darkness after being sold into slavery at a young age. His goal is to gain his freedom from the cruel master that has held him all of the years. One final mission, to kill Lady Aurora of Aquitaine and his freedom is won. But can he do it when he meets her? Aurora is all that is good. Pure of heart, she is loved by all her people. But when Damien sees Aurora for the first time, he ends up saving her from an assassin! There are several twist and turns to this story that will keep you turning the pages and holding your breath as emotions erupt and lives are in danger. As Damien becomes Aurora's bodyguard (the wolf guarding the sheep?), the two spend a lot of time together and emotions that Damien has not felt in years come to light. She is the light to his darkness. Can Damien become the man he wants to be and save them both? I really enjoyed this story and cannot wait to read the next book by Laurel O'Donnell. What a great storyteller!!

Good story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

Lots to recommend in this book. Strong believable plot with intrigue and action. Plenty of trials and tribulations for our young lovers to overcome.

Great characters, well developed and rounded, likeable too. At times Aurora seems to be too good to be true, but given her mother's evil behaviour and our hero's upbringing it wouldn't be hard to be an angelic soul.

As an escape this book works, it was easy to pick up and put down.
