Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne Long

What could have made him hard and cruel instead has made him empathetic and understanding. Hawke emerged from being imprisoned during the war, having lost almost everything. I wanted to like this book more than I did because I adored the characters. Yet, from the start, something between the two is powerful and draws them together.

Both have suffered incredible betrayals, which threaten their ability of them to trust other people. So I loved Hawke and Aurelie the story was beautiful and painful when they were on the page together. Most of the book is unwinding the plot with the villain of the novel. They meet, and love is quick and fast between them. But the book doesn’t take the time to develop the relationship between these two characters. Once the hero and heroine meet, the book has such beauty in it. The two are keeping secrets from one another and falling for one another. Hawkes soon arrives at the Grand Palace as well. Lady Aurelie Capet has fled France and comes to the Grand Palace on the Thames, traveling under a false name and hiding from her fiance.

THE STORY: Christian Hawkes, an English spy, newly freed from a French prison, agrees to find the Earl of Brundage’s fiancee, who has disappeared. There are passages that just enthralled me. At the same time, Long, as always, writes so beautifully and lyrically about love and pain. There just isn’t enough time for them to meet, fall in love, and resolve both the emotional and plot issues in this book.
