I enjoyed reading Gabriel's Angel very much. Gabe Hampton made such a scrumptious hero as he was handsome, strong, honorable, and VERY HOT! Livvy Drummond (aka Olivia Alcott), was a wonderful heroine since she was beautiful, kind, compassionate, and strong-minded. There was also Livvy's wonderful grandfather, Holly Drummond who was warmhearted, loyal, and principled though not self-righteous. Most of the action takes place on a small island called St. Brigid where Holly has been running the lighthouse for decades until his arthritis got really bad and then Livvy took over.Gabriel showed up at the lighthouse brandishing a knife, having just escaped from a prison ship, and he was fevered from a bullet wound in his thigh. Although they realized he was a convict, they decided to do everything they could to save his life. While Gabe is recuperating, he and Livvy fall in love. I don't want to spoil the story so I'll stop the synopsis here.All the characters, even the villain (Livvy's Uncle Julian), had well-developed personalities. The imagery in the book was terrific; it was both graphic and well-described. There were some editing mistakes but they did not interrupt the flow of the story. The pace was quick through most of the book but it seemed to drag toward the end where I found myself skimming to get to the action.Overall, I really liked this story and I would definitely recommend it to others.
