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.

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!!

He Was Sent To Assassinate Her But Saved Her Instead And Then She Saves Him

This terrific story started with the very exciting prologue. Every intense, A fairly predictable story in the beginning but exciting and terrifying at the same time. This reads like is a complicated puzzle with lots of up's downs with twists and turns. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Damien. Romance was well done and one intimate part was steamy. The conclusion has many shocking moments and the villain is really awful.

Story of Love and Redemption that captured my heart!

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018

This is my first book by this author, and should not be my last because I highly enjoyed this.

The story of Aurora and Damien kept me on my toes. He came to kill her to when his own freedom from his cruel evil master and yet he ends up falling in love with a beautiful Aurora. But it is not easy. There are other assassins that are willing to kill her and he has to protect her from each and everyone! I love my books with action, adventure, A little violence, of course when they touch my feels.That is how to win me over with the book. And this one I was really enthralled with it.

My favorite part of the book has to be when they were riding horses.I had a good chuckle and a good swoon after! Really love the chemistry between the two main characters. And how she let him see the light by touching his heart. This was a very romantic book and I highly enjoyed every bit of it!

Brava! I shall be reading more from this author.

Goodness Wins

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018

I really enjoyed reading this story! Laurel O’Donnell has written about good and evil. Damien is a trained assassin and is sent to kill Aurora of Acquitaine. He has several days to do the deed. He saves her from other assassin’s but the goodness he sees in her changes him. The one man who owns him is evil to the core.
This is a good story to read! Goodness does win!

Darkness vs. Light, the eternal battle

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

Angels assassin was, without a doubt, one of my most enjoyable books to read so far this year. The internal struggle of a Bad-good boy/man, and a Good-wants-to-be-bad-once-in-a-while-but-cant, lady is incredibly well portrayed. In so many ways I found myself commiserating with the poor,torn sometimes wicked Damien. Lady Aurora also had an element within herself that made me relate to. The true evil in the book was enough to make me want to drive a sword through them for all the past wrong doings.
I did have a couple areas that I felt the writer slipped just a little. They felt rushed and slightly out of place, but all in all, a most excellent book.

Well-written Medieval

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

Couldn't wait to have my reading time each night so I could get back to Laurel's excellent medieval story. Loved Damien and Aurora, though I sort of wish we'd explored further her psyche of not wanting to be placed on the darn pedestal all the time, not only by Damien but by her people, too. Loved the main characters' relationship, and couldn't believe how perfectly ruthless Laurel was in assassinating certain characters, but she had to do that for verisimilitude.I'm not going to spoil any of it by saying any more except read it, and then find the brother's story, because he was another killer who needs redemption. Thanks for a great story!!

Good to see Damien finally find love and happiness after all the horrors that had befallen him. Aurora truly was light and love to so many, including Damien.

Love it!

I truly enjoyed the book! It was well written and truly was everything I had hoped for in a novel! If only this could be made into a tv series! It has forbidden romance, action, and chivalry. This time period with this kind of story is rarely seen in tv shows or movies. Instead of your typical king arthur, would love to see something with characters like these.

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.

I think the assassin story held my attention for a long time as it took a while for me to see why the heroine needed to be assasinated
