Review: "She's got [wings], and she knows who to use them..."

After finishing the prolog of a Caress of Wings I had some pretty strong reservations - the human hero, Trevor, was feed on by vamps who reveled in his fear and he was also repeated raped during the year he was held captive - a tortured/sexually abused lead is not a favorite theme for me and their move to a physical relationship in the aftermath is rarely well done in romance. But I have to say that with the angelic powers of the heroine, Siobhán to mend (and hide) some of the trauma that Trevor endured, as well as answering the question as to whether the his attraction to the Siobhán was merely born out of the fact that he saw her as a saviour, the romance actually worked.My one nit, and it isn't the one that others have mentioned - even though the story does end up with us not knowing the price that the Siobhán will have to pay for accepting that everything happens for a reason, including her forbidden feelings for Trevor. The nit was that I was a bit disappointed in Trevor's 'change', but then again there wasn't time to do something really creative with him, since this was a short story.So, I enjoyed a Caress of Wings - Siobhán's got wings and she knows who to use them (during the love scene:) And I am looking forward to seeing whether there will be a few glimpses of this pair in Day's next book, A Hunger So Wild.
