Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 10, 2011
As punishment for a crime he didn't commit, angel Lukas is no longer allowed to use his wings, but when his appeal is denied and he tries to drown his sorrow in forbidden alcohol, he loosens his inhibitions enough to finally kiss Anniele, a friend he's secretly loved for years. Annelie , has also secretly yearned for Lukas and when he kisses her she decides to take a chance on Lukas and it's even more wonderful than she's ever imagined, until the morning after and her discovery of Lukas' true nature. So now will Anniele be brave enough to love an angel?Her Fallen Angel definitely falls on the more erotic side of paranormal romance due to the balance between story and steamy stuff, the setup is good but background story is very simple and the mystery is easily resolved. And while I prefer a bit more story with my steam, Heaton did do a good job with leads bartender Anniele and fallen angel Lukas (and I am a sucker for a guy with wings) And it helped that there is a well established connection between the pair before they take that next step that both have been imagining (and hoping for) during their three year friendship, so even though there are a lot of love scenes and the first one comes pretty early in the story, their relationship didn't feel rushed.I haven't read Heaton's previous bookHer Dark Angel (Her Angel Romance Series), but even though her previous pair plays a decent sized supporting role here, I was still able get a good sense of who they were as characters, so that this book worked just fine - as the author promised - as a standalone. Heaton also has a third angel book starring the angel hunter who makes a brief appearance here -Her Warrior Angel (Her Angel Romance Series).
