Daisy Devreaux was a spoiled rich girl who was forced into
marrying a rough and humorless Russian man named Alex Markov in order to avoid
going to jail. However, when Daisy goes
to live with her new husband, who happens to run a circus, she will soon
discover some dark secrets about Alex that might make her love this mysterious
man or hate him even more.
Oh my goodness! This book was just simply…HEAVENLY! Susan Elizabeth Phillips has done a
brilliant job at writing this unique, one of a kind romance story about two
lovers who are extremely different from each other, but are able to find the
true love that will hold them together!
I also loved the fact that this book takes place at a circus since it is
rare that I read a romance novel that takes place in the circus and it was
awesome seeing all the different dynamics of how the circus works and what the
workers at the circus have to go through to make their shows perfect. Susan
Elizabeth Phillips has also done an excellent job at portraying each
character in this story, but my most favorite characters in this book are none
other than the main characters Daisy Devreaux and Alex Markov! I just loved Daisy Devreaux as the undisputed
heroine of this story since her transformation from a spoiled rich girl to a
brave and mature woman by the end of this book was truly fantastic to see and I
loved her personality as Daisy may seem naïve at certain points of the book,
but she truly has a big heart and is willing to help anyone in need. I also loved her relationship with Heather, a
young teenager who was introduced in this book (although Heather did annoyed me
a bit at the beginning of the book) and I loved how Daisy was able to connect
so much with Heather despite Heather’s bad attitude at first. Now, onto the best character in this book and
that happens to be Alex Markov! I just
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Alex Markov to death as there are so many layers to his
character that makes him extremely mysterious and yet engaging to read
about! Since I am a huge fan of bad boy
heroes, Alex Markov definitely tops the list of my top favorite bad boy heroes
in romance novels since he has a tough and brooding attitude and yet, he is so
seductive and caring at the same time once people get to know him better. I also loved the fact that Alex Markov
participates in the circus and I especially loved his Cossack play act that
resonates with his Russian roots where he dances so erotically with his
whip. It was also interesting seeing the
more mysterious side of Alex that he refuses to tell Daisy about since it
brought so much mystery to the story and I really wanted to learn more about
this mysterious handsome Russian man!
The relationship between Daisy and Alex is what many romance fans would
consider “unusual” since they both have different personalities (Daisy is
flighty and kind while Alex is brooding and mysterious) but when their love for
each other shows, sparks fly like nothing else and their romance with each
other is just so sizzling hot!
For anyone who does not like sex scenes, this book has many
sex scenes that are extremely explicit and they might want to skim over these
scenes. Also, this book has extremely
strong language, although the language was never frequent and only shows up sparingly
throughout the book.
Overall, “Kiss An
Angel” is clearly one of the best contemporary romance novels around and
has one of the best bad boy heroes ever around, Alex Markov! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to any
hardcore romance fan who is looking for a wonderful romance novel to read!
