Customer Reviews

Pretty good

I really liked this book because it brought back characters from one of her other books, Forever Gold. If you've read that book ,then you kind of already know the hero in this book, Jake. He wasn't a main character in Forever Gold, but important nonetheless. Interesting story with lots of twists and edge of your seat moments.

Great Read

Depite being written in the eighties, this is still a very good book. It had humor, action, and of course, romance. Jake was a strong hero. He became an outlaw after his sister and her family were needlessly killed. And Tori was a very interesting heroine for him. Not only was she a nun, but also his half sister. There were a lot of memorable scenes in this book. I especially like the way they were married. The novel has a lot of twists and turns and always keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. I wish there was a sequel with their children.

I loved this book

This book was the first romance novel I've read, and I think the characters in this book were perfect for each other, one bad boy image and one good girl image both bringing it out of each other. He bringing her desires out and lighting her flame and her cracking his hard exterior. This book is perfect for a lot of different readers; it has humor, mystery, action and romance but not so much that you are trapped in a soap opera. Also the way Catherine writes in discription, you can just jump right into the story; you can feel every emotion as the characters are. I truely recommend this book to anyone. It truely has everything you could want to read it a book.

Fallen Angel was a great book!

This story was great, the author took to totally different people and made them work together. A gun fighter and a semi-nun, supposedly half brother and sister. He loves her very much from the beginning it seems, but not in a brotherly way. She is confused about how she feels, not sure if its sisterly love or a love a woman feels for a man. It is really funny, not to give some of the story away but I thought the part when he's undressing her to put her to bed and isn't sure if he should take off everthing or not, it goes from there to her waking up naked and thinking the maid must have done it, anyway she soon finds out how it really was and gets furious and losses her religion to curses she throws at Jake. This was my first book of Catherines' but I do believe I'm hooked. Can't wait to start my collection of the rest. I recommend this book, it will have you crying, laughing out loud and in love with both the characters. I truly enjoyed it

May be a bore hazard.

When I first read this book I was bored after the first hundred or so pages. It sort of takes the steam out of the book when the characters declare their undying love, marry, and concieve a child all within the first chapters. But there is some later action and events worth hanging in for. I'd suggest you check the library for this one first.
