Loading... Death Angelby Linda Howard
None. Classic Linda Howard. Best I've read in ages. I wasn't so sure I'd care for the characters when I read the blurb; but I caught myself cheering out loud several times. ( )assassin,organized crime,inspirational/paranormal,Amazon received When starting it, I thought I wouldn't like Drea because of her role. Turned out, she was a great, very interesting heroine. Drea Rousseau was drug lord Rafael Salinas lady. Steals his cash to finance her escape. He dispatches an assassin in pursuit. Left for dead she works with FBI to take down Salinas. She eventually falls for the assassin. This was a 'couldn't put down' story and I liked it, but with a few reservations. Simon, for one. I never got to know him properly. His past and, later in the book, his future.. Despite the ebb and flow of the story and weak ending, it was good no reviews | add a review

Meeting a dire end after double-crossing her lover, a ruthless crime lord, the cynical, amoral, and manipulative Drea returns to life a changed woman and joins forces with the FBI to become a guardian of the defenseless and the lover of an enigmatic stranger. "A striking beauty with a taste for diamonds and dangerous men, Drea Rousseau is more than content to be arm candy for Rafael Salinas, a notorious crime lord who deals with betrayal through quick and treacherous means: a bullet to the back of the head, a blade across the neck, an incendiary device beneath a car. Eager to break with Rafael, Drea makes a fateful decision and a desperate move, stealing a mountain of cash from the malicious killer. After all, an escape needs to be financed." "Though Drea runs, Salinas knows she can't hide - and he dispatches a cold-blooded assassin in hot pursuit, resulting in a tragic turn of events. Or does it?" "Left for dead, Drea miraculously returns to the realm of the living a changed woman. She's no longer shallow and selfish, no longer steals or cheats or sells herself short. Both humbled and thrilled with this unexpected second chance, Drea embraces her new life. But in order to feel safe and sound - and stop nervously looking over her shoulder - she will need to take down those who marked her for death." "Joining forces with the FBI, supplying vital inside information that only she can provide, Drea finds herself working with the most dangerous man she's ever known. Yet the closer they get to danger, the more intense their feelings for each other become, and the more Drea realizes that the cost of her new life may be her life itself - as well as her heart."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)
