Review: Good start to Archangels series

This is the first book in a Regency series of six books by Shirl Anders about the Archangels, a group of former spys.  I previously read the 4th book in the series,My Lady Taken (Archangels), not realizing it was part of a series.  I enjoyed Gabriella in that story, so I wanted to read about how her relationship with Drummond came to be.  In the editorial review section of Amazon, they give an excerpt that involves Drummond spanking Gabriella.  This is the heaviest that the BDSM gets in the book, so I am surprised that it was chosen as an excerpt, as it is a bit misleading about the book.Drummond "purchases" his love from 25 years ago from another Lord who is "selling" her, because she is baron.  Gabriella soon discovers that Drummond plans to have his way with her, sexually.  Though she is reluctant at first due to lack of experience, she soon comes to enjoy her liaisons with Drummond.  The love builds between them, with some interesting twists threatening their relationship.I enjoyed this story.  While it is a quick read, taking only a couple hours, it doesn't feel short.  Rather, the story is very detailed and has a well timed beginning, middle, and end.
