Review: Long awaited and worth it

This book is a continuation of Marc and Angelina's story from Nobody's Angel and the first half takes place during the same time period as Nobody's Perfect, so we get to see some events from that book from a different perspective. And it is lovely to get to visit with Adam & Karla and Damian & Savannah again and get updates on how they are doing. But I digress.Marc is about the most emotionally unavailable characters I have encountered.  He has some serious trust issues.  He's been running from his emotions, pretty much all his life and has sabotaged nearly every relationship he's had. He spends the first third of the book simultaneously scared that Angelina is going to leave him and doing everything in his power to make it happen. He needs to deal with his past and not be so afraid of showing weakness to Angelina and she needs for him to let her in. Unsurprisingly, Marc's announcement that he is leaving for Italy the next morning (plans that had obviously been made more than 10 minutes ago), and his refusal to talk to her, leaves Angelina little choice but to make the difficult decision to walk away.Now, Angelina is not without fault here. She has her own insecurities and fears regarding abandonment and tends to push too much, too fast. Can't say I blame her much, though. No one likes to feel like they don't matter or aren't needed. And Marc really needs a wake-up call. Until these two very stubborn people find a middle ground and learn to communicate with each other, they are doomed to fail. Unfortunately, it would seem that for every step forward Marc takes, he takes two steps back.This book made me hurt for Marc and Angelina. It also contains a very intense interrogation scene before HEA is achieved. Well done Kalypso Masters! Somebody's Angel was very much worth the wait.
