Dark Angel/Lord Carew's Bride

Double book reissue by Balogh is a surprise! I would give 'Dark Angel' a 3.5 Stars but Lord Carew's Bride and 4.5 Stars!! The first story is of Jennifer & Gabriel. Typical, young lady just looking to marry a handsome man. The 2nd story is a bit like 'Beauty & the Beast'.

Double book reissue by Balogh is a surprise! I would give 'Dark Angel' a 3.5 Stars but Lord Carew's Bride and 4.5 Stars!! The first story is of Jennifer & Gabriel. Typical, young lady just looking to marry a handsome man. The 2nd story is a bit like 'Beauty & the Beast'. This one has a more matured cousin of Jennifer, Samantha who is not looking to ever marry after a bad experience with love and Hartley who is not your typical hero--he's quite ordinary looking, unassuming and crippled! The beginning was so sweet when Hartley pretended to be a mere gardener and befriended Samantha. He's so romantic and true to his feelings of Samantha makes you just want to swoon. Both books have the same antagonist--Lionel! Ugh...a bigger leach I've never heard of! He is the most despicable retch. I'm glad to know Balogh doesn't ever plan on making a love story about him. She is absolutely right by saying there are some actions that irredeemable.   hide
