Though that was five years ago, this golden English beauty still vows that no man will ever again ignite the sensual passion hidden deep in her soul--not even her new husband, Tynan Spenser, Earl of Glencove, a darkly handsome and rich Irish rogue. Known as "The Black Angel" for his wild and lascivious ways, Tynan is as determined to melt his icy bride as she is to resist his seductive charms. Vowing that she will be his in just one hundred kisses, Tynan sets out to win her with a kiss each day--a challenge Riana is sure she can withstand. But the willful beauty has no idea of the power of a single kiss... Average Rating:
 Rating: - Truly enjoyed this great book!Tyanan and Riana for me were a very intriguing couple. First off, she was more of the rake for their time period. Living down a scandal that truly had such devistating effect on her family was rather incredible. Tyanan who was supposed to have a rakish reputation seemed with the death of his brother a truly changed person. The couple had much to deal with - with their arranged marriage. Riana was so determined to not allow her feelings to be real and Tyanan with so many complicated reasons for wanting ... Read More Rating: - An amazing tale of self discoveryI have to admit that "The Black Angel" isn't at all what I was expecting; however looking back I'm not sure what that was. Our heroine, Lady Adriana St. Ives is a fallen woman. Five years ago, when her lover cast her aside and publicly denounced her, Adrianan's two brothers fought in a duel for her honor. Having killed the bastard son of the Prince, Julian and Gabriel fled the country to save their own lives. Only when she marries Tynan Spenser, an Irish Earl, do they return to try and save her once again. ... Read More Rating:  - A worthwhile read...(3 1/2 stars)"Black Angel" was a good book. I enjoyed it, but didnt love it. I found that I couldnt quite connect with the characters. I did enjoy Tynan..and Adriana wasnt awful, but I thought that they could have been a bit more fleshed out. I also felt that the ending was rushed..I wanted more. A worthwhile read, but not one that is a keeper for me. Rating: - A glorious readAn excellent book. My first quibble is I really did not like Riana the heroine very much-even her brothers tell her she isn't the kind of woman suited to Tynan and she has to grow and develop throughout the book to be worthy of him. She is emotionally dishonest and a real cow as well as coward at times. He change of heart happens a bit too suddenly in the last 20 pages or so of the book. Lots of loose ends were NOT tied up, a cheat for the reader, especially as there is not a series so far as I can see. Read More Rating: - flawed romanceI like Ruth Wind and when I discovered that she and Barbara Samuels were one and the same, I went on a hunt for some of Ms Samuel's novels. This is the first one I found. There was a lot to admire in this book - firstly, far from the virginal unknowing heroine, Adriana St Ives actually has sexual needs, which she once met. Sadly, because of the times in which she lived, this lead to her ruin. Her brothers felt honour bound to defend her, and then had to leave the country. And that is all in ... Read More |
