Book Reviews of Kiss an Angel
Book Review: Cliched and Totally Unrealistic
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not an avid romance reader, but I was willing to keep an open mind since it was rated so highly on Amazon and recommended by a friend. I was actually shocked at how contrived and unnatural the events in the story were and there was a "preachy" animal rights element that I didn't really appreciate (is it ever really a good idea to keep live tigers loose around people?). I didn't have any sympathy for any of the main characters and the secondary characters were simply flat. I kept reading with a hope that the book would get better. Unfortunately, the plot remained predictable to the end. Kiss an AngelBook Review: Different in a good way
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. I guess it is my favorite SEP now and I have read almost all her books. It reminded me of older Hollywood movies. Maybe not realistic but that is what I liked about it. I LOVED THIS BOOK! I want more books like this! Fun roller-coaster ride!Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first read Kiss an Angel I was highly disappointed. I don't know why it bugged me so much. Honestly, I just didn't like the hero or the heroine in this book. There is a big difference between an Alpha hero and the abusive protagonist that keeps popping up in romance novels. No amount of love can redeem a jerk who treats women like dirt. Daisy starts out an awesome heroine and turns into a doormat. Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my favorite authors and that's the only reason I'm not giving this book a 1-star rating.
SEP books I recommend: Natural Born Charmer, It Had To Be You, This Heart Of Mine, Lady Be Good and Call Me Irresistible.
Book Review: Does melodrama make you cringe?
Summary: 3 Stars
I'd read a lot of reviews for Susan Elizabeth Phillips and it's true she is a very good writer. The dialogue is fast and I actually laughed out loud once or twice. However, personally I found that Ms Phillips swings between fast and modern and a rather uncomfortably 'classic' (read unnatural) cliche ridden style. It's not 'bad' writing as such and there are those that are looking for that type of novel, but just as scene starts off believable and zany it quickly plummets to being ridiculous and implausable. Things move too quickly between the main characters and once they get to the circus and tigers with sad looking eyes, melodrama is never far behind. The hero never progresses beyond cardboard cut-out and I'm afraid the sizzling sex scenes were forced and somewhat unsexy. All in all readable, but if 'classic' romance novels make you cringe give this a miss and read Susan Anderson (All shook up) or anything by Jennifer Cruise instead.
Book Review: Excellent book!
Summary: 5 Stars
