Customer Reviews

Fantastic book & series. Never laughed so much.

I started this book a couple months ago only reading the 1st. 2, Beguiled (Dane & Angel) bk. 1 & Wanton (Alex & Celia) bk. 2 They being part of the PI series which was fantastic. Mick (Caught in the act) bk. 3 links these 2 & the next 2 in the series (Treat her right & Mr. November) bks. 4 & 5. Men of courage (Ethan & Rosie) is next, although I didn't know was linked to those above at the time of reading it. Then we have "Riley". Finally I get to the last book in this anthology "Uncovered" (Harris & Claire). This one had me in stitches laughing. Harris is called to a fire. His friend Ethan firnds a box of photo's of a naked lady presumed to be posing. Because Ethan is married Harris takes them of him. Claire, Harris's neighbour sees them & is mortified. The next day when Claire gets to work for Dane & Alex she finds Harris there with the pictures. There are also some handwritten notes about Harris. Harris is desperate to find out who the mystery woman is. None of the men can understand Claire's reaction to seeing them spread out over the office. Dane & Alex even have them blown up to see if they can find some distinguishing marks. It is only when Angel & Celia go into the office & see the pictures all over the wall that they recognise who it is. Men are sometimes so thick, they can't see what's under there noses. As this is happening Harris is about to go into the back office to stop them searching for her & Claire is about to walk into the shop. When she does the look they give her is pricless. They just don't know where to look. Harris is mortified as well as angry. 3 other men have seen those pictures of Claire & he is going to marry her. 2 of the men are her bosses. How will he live this down. They are by this time shouting all the personal details of what has gone on the night before & everyone can hear. Alex buts in a couple of times while they are still shouting. After getting his presumptions wrong Harris finds out its an ex of Clair's who took the photos without her knowledge & that he has been doing it to others as well. Lori says in the front of this book that "Uncovered" is the funniest book she has wrote & she is right. In future whenever I think about it it will have me cracking up. The next in the series is Buck's story in "The truth about cats & dogs". My copy shoud be here next week. I can't wait.

As always, Lori Foster delivers great romantic suspense!

Fallen Angels by Lori Foster is a collection of related stories- two of which are older, previously published works and one (Uncovered) is new. Each story is interconnected and has similar themes of secrets and mystery. In Beguiled, Dane Carter has come back to investigate his twin brother's murder. He even pretends to be his twin to Angel Morris, who was involved with his brother and has a child with him. Dane is attracted to Angel, but also must try to protect her from the killer. Complicating their romance is the lie Dane is keeping in pretending to be his twin. In Wanton, Celia (who is Dane Carter's sister) has sworn off men when her ex fiance was found to be a criminal and only marrying her for her money. Celia is now determined to make up for her past bad judgements by helping others. Private Investigator, Alec,is Celia's boss who has to keep her safe while they investigate and convince her that love is not wrong. In Uncovered, Harris and Clair are best friends but Clair has always been secretly in love with Harris. Accidentally, Harris finds some nude pictures of Clair along with Clair's unsigned notes professing her crush on him. Harris is immediately intrigued by this unknown woman and hires Clair's private investigation firm (run by Dane and Alec) to find his mystery woman. Surpringly, none of the 3 men recognize Clair's body in the photos and start a search for this woman. It is nice to have each story in one volune and see how each story is related. Lori Foster always writes exciting, romantic books and these short stories are no exception.

Three Incredible Stories

I have read Beguiled and Wanton many times and in Fallen Angels I enjoyed reading them both once again. In Beguiled, PI Dane Carter assumes his brother Derek's identity, to discover who murdered his twin. Along the way he meets Angel and is drawn into her life. The relationship between Dane & Angel is so special, a very tender romance and it just continues to grow. We are introduced to Alec & Celia from Wanton and Mick from Caught in the Act.Wanton is pure heat!! Alec & Celia spar and love with such intensity. Celia is the only person who can drive Alec crazy with frustration, and crazy with lust. While trying to protect Celia from the bad guys, Alec is strong and tough and then with Celia he is fun and loving. A perfect man! Alec is one of my favorite hero's and Celia is the only one strong enough to stand up to him. A perfect match!Also included is a new story, Uncovered. Harris Black is sexy, brave and a good friend to Clair Caldwell. The last thing he wants is to settle down and get married, or so he thinks... In Uncovered, Harris is searching for a mystery woman, unaware that she is already a part of his life. When he finds out who the mystery women is... Well you will have to read that part for yourself. I loved it and good friends really do make the best lovers. It is very clever how the characters from Wanton & Beguiled are woven into the new story, Uncovered. It was just a pure joy to read, these characters will be hard to leave behind. Thank you Lori Foster for another book I will read over & over & over again.

I loved all 3 stories!

Fallen Angels contains re-releases of 2 of Lori Foster's earlier books, plus a brand new novella.In BEGUILED, Dane Carter is a investigating the death of his twin, Derek. The Carters are keeping Derek's death quiet. Dane, a PI and the black sheep of the family, pretends to be Derek while he tries to discover whether Derek's death was an accident - or murder. At first, he suspects Angel Morris. Not only is she Derek's former lover, he also caused her to lose her job in a very public and humiliating manner. And Angel has secrets of her own. What will they discover when "Derek" tries to be a part of her life again?WANTON is the story of Dane Carter's sister Celia and PI Alec Sharpe. Celia has left the Carter family business to work for Dane. Alec is Dane's best investigator. When Celia puts herself in danger trying to save a young woman in trouble, Alec tries to pull her off the case. But stubborn, independent Celia is having none of it! Alec has his work cut out for him.In UNCOVERED, Clair Caldwell has a thing for firefighter Harris Black, but they are just jogging buddies. When Harris accidentally comes across nude photos of a woman - and notes about him with the pictures - he is entranced. And Clair is horrified! To Clair's chagrin, Harris hires a PI to try to locate the woman - Dane Carter's firm, where Clair works. Can she find a way to get Harris to notice her and convince him there's no need to discover the identity of the mystery woman?I love connecting stories, and in these three sensual romances we get to revisit a whole lot of characters from more than one series. In BEGUILED, I love the way Dane comes back to do whatever he can for his family even though they have pretty much rejected him. And Angel is nowhere near as fragile as she appears! Alec from WANTON is irresistible, and Celia is definitely a match for him. UNCOVERED kept me laughing. It was so much fun to watch Harris bumble along. I kept hoping Clair would find a way to get him to notice her as more than a friend. I thoroughly enjoyed all three stories!

A must read!

This fabulous anthology includes two previously released titles and one original story by Lori Foster. If you haven't had the pleasure of reading two of Ms. Foster's previously released and hard to find titles, here's your chance to grab them up all in one book! In BEGUILED, we get to watch hunky P. I. Dane Carter fall in love with Angel Morris. In WANTON, go along for the ride when spunky Celia Carter and sexy P. I. Alec Sharpe match wits and sparks fly. Dane and Alec are two of Ms. Foster's sexiest and well loved heroes!The original story in this anthology, UNCOVERED was a blast to read! Sexy firefighter Harris Black loves the fact that he gets along so well with his pal and jogging partner Clair Caldwell. Harris can be himself with her and he always enjoys her company. Little does he know that Clair has had the hots for him all along. When Harris puts out a building fire in town and stumbles upon a box of nude photos of a mysterious woman as well as letters that mention his name, he is intrigued and wants to find her. When Clair realizes that he is trying to find the women in the pictures, can she put a stop to his investigation and make him see the love that has been right in front of him all along? Clair and Harris were a perfect pair. The chemistry between these two sizzled. The humor was a wonderful addition to a steamy romance. You won't want to miss Harris and Clair's story. I never miss a chance to get my hands on a new story by Lori Foster. FALLEN ANGELS is a book that you will want to add to your keeper shelf.
