Search - Death Angel

Meet Andrea. She's a curvy, curly blonde who's a live-in toy and eye candy for a NYC mobster. She's not as dumb as she leads her "boyfriend" to believe since she's just biding her time and accepting what gifts and tokens he bestows on her.

Enter a tall, dark, well-built assassin. He's just done a job so well for the mobster, that he's offered a huge bonus. The assassin says no, he wants four hours alone in the apartment with Andrea instead. The mobster eventually says yes, tho he's not really happy about it, but Andrea is devastated. Although the four-hour romp becomes an eye-opener as to what she's been missing for the past couple of years, she becomes devastated that her "boyfriend" would treat her like a cheap slut. She doesn't get mad at the mobster--she gets even. And, do you recall that "heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned"? She's living proof!

This was a great story. I loved it because the plot was so unique, the romance was passionate, and there were a few twists and turns that you really couldn't predict what would happen next. Also, it's always fun to see a jackass get what he deserves!!

I read a lot of these types of books. I loved the fact that it wasn't the same as usual with this one. I did not expect some of the twist and turns.

Admittedly this was a strange sort of couple for something that would classify as romantic suspense. They were both generally unsympathetic at the start of the story, but I have to say, the romance and the characters grew on me. In many ways very touching in the style of some of Howard's best romances and left you to feel that these two people were more nearly whole together than apart.

I truly enjoyed reading this book...it was a fast and easy read....did not want to put it down till I finished it.

different from previous howard books but good none the less.

I loved this book! The love scenes are hot; the suspense / mystery scenes are well written; and the semi-supernatural overtone is amazing. For some reason it really touched my heart.
