Ms. Berg Delivers Again!!! A Hot Read For Summer!

Ms. Berg is an author that I pick up automatically. She always has qirky characters, fun storylines, and great chemistry between the main characters. This story was no different except...this time around things are a little hotter, and a little darker. These changes only show that Ms. Berg is a whole lot more talented in weaving a story that will have the reader glued to the pages. Angel Devlin is a "once bitten, twice shy" P.I. for the wealthy Palm Beach society crowd. She drives a red Jag, and lives above a dog grooming establishment. Oh she also wears a stiletto, Jimmy Choos, and nice clothes. She also has an ex-husband named Dagger Zane who took her to the cleaners when she finally divorced him. As if this was all not enough she is planning a gala ball for an Alzheimer's fundraiser (her mother has this disease) and has talked a rather reclusive man to host it at his estate. Why is this a problem? She has to keep him happy and march to his tune. That shouldn't be a problem but it becomes on once she appears on the radarscreen of Tom Donovan. Tom is big, bad, handsome and trouble! Of course when you add Dagger, and a secret that Tom wants to solve to the mix you have the making for a great story. Tom has a dark past and a mystery he has to solve. His father was acused of stealing a statue, and attacking the wife of his best friend. Of course he was killed during the commission of these crimes. Tom is out to prove that his father had not stolen anything, or attacked anyone. This leads him to his godfather the one person Angel has to dance to. He thinks he can use Angel to get to his godfather. What he doesn't expect is falling for the sexy Angel. Now he has to make a choice. Clear his father's name and find out the truth about what took place the night his father died. Or let the past lay and find love with Angel. This was a very fast read full of great characters, humor, and great chemistry between Angel and Tom. The storyline regarding Tom's past was very entertaining and the mystery was solved at the end of the story. This was a very good ending. Ms. Berg delivers on all counts with her latest effort. I highly recommend Ms. Berg for a great entertaining read!

Romantic and Special

I'm No Angel by Patti Berg is a sassy, romantic read. Tom Donovan just wants answers to his father's death when he was a small child. He sees PI Angel Devlin coming out of his godfather's house. Tom decides getting close to Angel will get him one step closer to the man you has the answers, his godfather. That might have been his plan at the beginning but as he gets to know Angel things begin to change. Angel Devlin is a no nonsense woman. She has grown from a bad marriage to become her own woman. Angel at first has all the right moves to get close to Tom. But she is not prepared to have all these complex feelings for Tom. I'm No Angel handles the complex issues as well as the funny and steamy ones with style. I am looking forward to the books about Angel's brothers.

More than just a beach read

This is a fun very sexy mystery/romance. Angel is a tough-talking, spike-heeled wearing private eye. Tom is an ex-alligator wrestler (!!) and new millionaire. Both of them are interested in Holt Hudson, a recluse who has offered Angel the use of his mansion and the auction of his late wife's jewelry for her Altzheimer's Charity Gala. Tom has recently discovered that Holt is actually his godfather though the man refuses to speak to him. This could be a fluff story, but the families of each of the protagonists figure in key ways that give this book a little more weight than you'd expect. Very good, a cut above the average beach book!

Wasn't Patti's best....

I guess I have to say that "Stuck on You", has to be my favorite book by Ms. Berg. "I'm no Angel" was good, but it just lacked something. It was too, short and sweet in my opinion.

Patti Berg's Best!

Okay I love mysteries, suspense novels, and of course, romance books. I read a wide gamut of stuff, and I've always liked Patti Berg's books, mostly for the humor and light-heartedness of her stories. But this latest is her best work to date. It has some of the steamiest bedroom scenes, but combines it with the humor and intrigue. What Janet Evanovitch did to the mystery novel, Patti Berg has done to the romance novel. Don't miss this one! I can't wait to read more about Angel!
