Gonna Find Me An Angel
Contents:
The sexual chemistry felt lacking. It wasn't fade-to-black or anything, but I felt like the scenes could've been better. I'm also a greedy, greedy girl and I like my epilogues! This one was alright. I didn't hate it or anything, but I definitely think it could've been a lot better! Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Daisy and Alex's story. Daisy finds herself forced to marry a man of her father's choosing or face jail time.
Alex is a mysterious older man that is up for the job for at least the 6 months she is required to stay married before getting her inheritance. Daisy is shocked when Alex swoops her up to get on a plane that takes her to Florida where they join the traveling circus he works for. There is a lot of big adjustments Daisy has to make to fit in with this new lifestyle and with her new husband, and Alex is also consistently shocked that Daisy isn't the spoiled and dumb socialite that he had pegged her to be.
There are a lot of ups and downs, some funny moments, some sexy times, and some sad moments This alternated between focusing mainly on Daisy and Alex in 3rd person narrative. It did have some parts that focused on side characters as well. Overall Pace of Story: I ate this up and read it super fast! I never skimmed and I thought it flowed well.

No, they take a while to develop stronger feelings. I felt bad for his past, but I did want him to communicate a little better with Daisy at times. She was a mess and a lot lost when we first meet her. Her upbringing and family relationships were sad, but I appreciated the woman she became despite it all. I teared up a few times, but I never needed any tissues.
Yes view spoiler [ They both push away and also pursue the relationship at times. They have some alright tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. I do think this could've been a little bit more steamy tbh. Their sexual chemistry just fell a little flat for me for some reason.

How about them with their children later in life?! That would've been awesome. I am still calling this a HEA though. View all 20 comments. Oct 22, Ana rated it did not like it Shelves: When I first read Kiss an Angel I was highly disappointed. I don't know why it bugged me so much. Honestly, I just didn't like the hero or the heroine in this book.
The hero is no hero. He is abusive, explosive, and a complete douchebag. He treated the heroine horribly. Daisy starts out an awesome heroine and turns into a doormat. SEP books I recommend: My first SEP novel and it was oh soooo good!!!! Normally contemporary romance novels from the 90's aren't really my thing, but this was compared to The Unwanted Wife by Natasha Anders so I had to read it.
Kiss An Angel is the story of Daisy who gets roped into an arranged marriage to a man who seems to despise her. Alex works for a traveling circus and seems to find a lot of pleasure in assigning Daisy to tasks which would humiliate her. As time goes by, sparks fly between the two and 4. As time goes by, sparks fly between the two and they give in to their attraction. But Alex will never love anyone, and he makes it clear he will never love Daisy. This book started out a bit rough for me, I almost threw in the towel and I pushed on.
I'm such an angst whore, I swear. I really liked Daisy and Alex, I liked them even more together. Another highlight for me was the relationships developed with the circus animals because I am a giant softy for animals. I cannot wait to discover more by SEP! View all 7 comments. Jan 18, Amy Foxy Blogs rated it it was amazing Shelves: Alex is a strict Russian who has agreed to marry Daisy because of a debt he owes her father. Alex is a no nonsense man who manages a traveling circus. The circus atmosphere along with the animals adds to the completeness of the story.
I really want my own Sinjuin the tiger. Standalone 10th book of View all 8 comments. It has been a lazy day for me. So I am going to continue with my laziness and provide you with a short and sweet review. Susan Elizabeth Phillips rocks! Now that I have read and loved enough of her books I have put her on the dreaded author pedestal.
Their words are spot on and their pictures capture some of my favorite moments in the book too. But I will say….. The two main characters Daisy and Alex were pretty amazing. The moments between them were endless. There was humor, sweetness and sexiness. The plot was creative and filled with SEP originality. The candidness of the dialogue was perfect. It provided for laughter, romance and endless sexual tension.
Which I must say I loved! It really was a wonderful story. View all 42 comments. Jan 15, Geo Marcovici rated it it was amazing. O poveste despre iubire. View all 6 comments. I have to thank my buddy Lana for the rec and for listening to me bitch and moan while reading this one.
Standalone 10th book of However unrealistic it was, it worked in a big way. It is ok to trust God and know that you are loved and accepted and these new changes, although they feel overwhelming, are still you. Right now I still have some problems with enjoying life.

D Will definitely re-read some day. Mar 15, Dilek VT rated it liked it Shelves: Their marriage was based on something unbelievable for me. And there wasn't enough groveling at all My 2,5 points go to the scenes with Sinjun, the tiger and Tater, the elephant, as I fell in love with these two animals: View all 4 comments. In this wonderful story. Therefore, this is an exuberant, completely one-sided tribute review and must be read with an ounce of sanity. Because I never want to stop and will say again and again in different ways how much I love this book.
I just want to scream - What a great novel!! I'm so impressed, almost 20 years old written but it outperforms most in the genre even though it is in a traditional romance style. Maybe nothing new under the sun but in this case it doesn't hurt. I don't think you get a story who is in anyway hyped, vulgar, to sugar sweet or overly fuss to keep us, the readers, on the rack - you just get a good well thought out story.
Sure it's steamy with a very hot, handsome alpha hero Alex, you are a favorite! There is both happiness, tears, laughter but above all an absolutely incredible wonderful heroine in the lovely Daisy an angel is really the right term. When it comes down to it, it's mostly novels with a heroine I really can love who will also be the most memorable in the long run. No doubt; highest rating! Arranged marriages in a contemporary romance? Yes, poor Daisy have debts and her father has a condition to help her.
She, his daughter, must be married to, and live as wife, with the stranger man her father picked out in six months. When the time has elapsed, they may go separate paths and Daisy will get access to a trust fund and can choose how she wants to live her life. What do you do as a 26 year old woman with debt and without a job? A few hours later, they're in Florida and she faces that her new married life to a stranger is going to be with a traveling second class circus.
Her new husband is nasty, lasting, superior and menacing and is pointing to a mangy old-fashioned caravan; her new home. As if that were not bad enough, Daisy is terrified of animals Now I'm going to take a shower. Stab me with your eyebrow pencil?
Here are a lot of lovely second characters and their stories. We have the charmer Brady, the bitter but so tough Sheba and the young insecure teenager Heather. It is whining whips, horse arts and one for me quite new and unknown circus world. It's humble, lives in mobile homes, muddy, constant travel, much gossip and bullshit, but also caring and warmth. Tater the baby elephant in love, Glenna a lonely female gorilla and of course the poor old "talking" tiger Sinjun. Animals in cramped cages and with rather dire living conditions which Daisy came to take care of and started to love.
I really liked that part of the story and I'm barely even an animal lover. But above all it was the love. The love between two very different people, with different backgrounds and ways to show emotions. One gave us everything. Her heart was open to everybody, animals like humans. The other one had long since lost his. He could no longer love. First there was wrangling, viciousness, fuss and digs. Then came the attraction and heat. Then acceptens, friendship - but could it be love? Sometimes I was so mad at Alex.
He was so unfair, stubborn and stuck in his old beliefs. I almost cried after getting this three so, by me and by Daisy, awaited and needed beautiful words. My heart hoped, was torn apart , healed and became contented.
It was an ordeal to get through. But a good one which was awarded. Of course there's love. I loved Daisy and Alex, their grand lovestory, their friends and all the cute animals in the circus. Yes the whole thing! Beautifully told, entertaining, very funny and enjoyable to read and of course super romantic. This book definitely belongs to the group for the better, the great ones. For me is it unforgettable one.
A story I know I will read again View all 76 comments. It's not long, about few months, since I've luckily discovered SEP's books and after having enjoyed, more or less, all the other eight I've read so far, I can safely say that with Kiss an Angel I've found my first and only big disappointment. I am aware this is a rather widely beloved classic of the genre and of her backlist, and I can even see why to a certain extent, but I guess I'll have to take my turn at "unpopular opinion time" in this case.

There are copious great reviews already covering both ends of the scale, so I won't delve into the plot and details and just explain why this story really didn't work for me. Despite being a vintage release , the narrative style was crisp and engaging as ever, the dialogues infused with humour and, like the lovely Heaven, Texas and Lady Be Good , written around the same years, the book didn't feel dated at all in that regard.
My gripes stem from elsewhere, namely the over-the-top storyline and, even more so, the romance between the leads, Daisy Devreaux and Alex Markov. In fact, I couldn't stand Alex, right from the beginning to the very end. There, I said it. When encountering such exceptionally good writing, I usually tend to have more patience with overdone characterisations and circumstances, but this time the outlandish premise set in motion by Daisy's hateful father and the hero's retrograde attitude were just too much to pass.
Alex belongs to an old-school bodice ripper, possibly taking place no later than the 18th Century hey, some of those Victorian guys could be very forward-thinking compared to our hero here! His troubled past is no excuse and till the very last page he acted as if he knew what was best for Daisy in a selfish and dramatic attempt to clean his conscience instead. As for Daisy, while spending entire portions of the book alternatively being overwhelmed by him or justifying his actions, she crossed the line between "accommodating" and "doormat" one time too many, and her naively cheerful disposition more often than not seemed like passivity covered by a thick layer of forced optimism, a type of heroine I'm totally incapable to relate to.
At the end she sounded so drained and resigned, like anybody would if put through the emotional wringer by an uncaring partner, that letting the self-important windbag have his way and shut up and be done with it started to look like an option. That he just wanted his stolen bike back.
Pushed to the end, in a bizarre plot twist, the Angel resorts to spilling the dirty family secret…. And with that final revelation, Dag promptly blows him to pieces. Though just as the witch predicted, the pain is not eased and poor Dag collapses, weeping in the dirt over a half dug grave while the credits roll to a melancholy tune.
This odd, feminist cult classic was Written and directed by Barbara Peters, one of the few female filmmakers who specialized in entertainingly trashy low budget drive-in exploitation fare in the 70s and early 80s.

Juanita came to me last night and she cried over and over, Ooh Daddy I love ya you know and I think it's the moonlight She looked so fine well she looked alright, and she moaned, oh Daddy move over, Ooh baby you know what I want I like And I think it's the moonlight. Mexican Girl don't leave me alone, I got a heart as big as stone, And I need you believe me to be here and love me tonight.
Her skin was soft as the velvet sky, and her hair it shone in the moonlight, and as the music did play well the night turned to day, and I held her tight. Then she looked at me with her dark brown eyes, and she whispered Haste La Vista, Well I don't know what that means but it sounded so good so I kissed her.

We are sorry...
How come in our cities so much love is left alone? Lazy days just pass How come so many children have a heart without a home? I was lost and at an end, It seemed so long I really needed a friend, Why should I pretend. Try my best to get along, Make some friends but something always went wrong, I'd come on too strong.
Things were really getting rough, Getting tired of acting like I was tough, I'd just had enough. And when it rains it's alright cos' I Know I'll soon be back to you And the nights are so long baby I'm thinkin' of you now Baby I want you Oh Yeah Baby I need you so I've been count the days and wasting my nights cos' nothing can fill this space without you and your womanly ways make these missing you nights You know I love everything about you darlin' Baby I want you Oh Yeah Baby I'm coming Back to you I see your face sometimes I swear I feel you here with me I can't wait for your love feelin' your arms around me now Baby I want you Yes I do Baby I need you so I've been count the days and wasting my nights cos' nothing can fill this space without you and your womanly ways make these missing you nights You know I love everything about you darlin' Baby I want you Oh Yeah Baby I'm coming Back to you Darlin' I need your Lovin' I need your everything only you can give Oh I want you to know Baby I need you so Words and music by Chris Norman Copyright Chris Norman - Dice Music Limited.
