(4 star review: This review was written for Night Owl reviews and Bookin' It Reviews by Talina Perkins)PLOT:Serenity and Apollyon's story is a spellbinding romance that brings together a love that neither Heaven nor Hell can keep from happening. The tantalizing desire that flowed between the hero and heroine, beat with a livid pulse throughout the entire story, making you want them together no matter the cost to either one. I have read several angel stories and several contemporary stories, Her Dark Angel pulls both together in a solid read of love, desire for companionship, and trust. The perfect balance for a great romance, in my opinion.SETTING:Her Dark Angel is set in the city of Paris. A refreshing change of pace and great choice to add character depth to the story.WRITING:A New York Times Best seller in the making. When Ms. Heaton puts pen to paper you know you are going to love the finished piece of work. She carries a freshness about her writing that I love. Her style captivated my imagination and didn't let me go until THE END.CHARACTERS:Bound as heaven's guardian of hell, Apollyon would love nothing more than to feel the freedom of the fresh air against his black wings and the sun bathing his skin. He has spent centuries in the darkness, waiting for his master to call him. Until he was finally called, however not by heaven, but by a mortal woman. A witch.His will power and strength alone intrigued me. The minute he spoke to Serenity, I fell for him. After spending so much time alone in the pits of hell, an experience that should have hardened his soul and heart, he was gentle and kind to the heroine. That speaks highly of his character right there. Instead of waiting to see if he was going to be a good match with Serenity, I was anxious to see if she would be good enough for him. A turn of the tables for sure.She was.Serenity, an endearing witch with a kind hearted smile and caring soul, warmed every page, making me want to flip the page that much faster. They were both just right for each other. Both hurting, both needing. Both finding what their souls needed in one another.LAST THOUGHTS:I enjoyed reading Her Dark Angel. The love story was touching and the steamy love scenes will make your pulse race so be warned, have a fan near by! Out of the three Her Angel books, this was my favorite. The hero and Heroine showed a connection that took hold of my heart is a way that I felt I was right there with them through the entire story.
