Synopsis

Wedding Day. Pretty, flighty Daisy Devreaux can either go to jail or marry the mystery man her father has chosen for her. Arranged marriages don't happen in the modern world, so how did the irrepressible Daisy find herself in this fix? Alex Markov, as humorless as he is deadly handsome, has no intention of playing the loving bridegroom to a spoiled little feather-head with champagne tastes. He drags Daisy from her uptown life to a broken-down traveling circus and sets out to tame her to his ways. But this man without a soul has met his match in a woman who's nothing but heart. Before long, passion will send them flying sky high without a safety net... risking it all in search of a love that will last forever.

My review

Kiss an Angel is one of my favorite books, one of the few I own in physical form. I read it many years ago and I always come back to it whenever I need to feel good, because it's one of those comfort reads you never get tired of returning to. I love this couple, I love being in Daisy's head — the way Susan writes her, with so much heart and so much spark, is simply perfect. And Alex, with all his hardness and his past, becomes the ideal counterpart. Honestly, Susan Elizabeth Phillips is a role model for me. I truly love what she does, and this book is proof of why. A five that earned its place in my heart years ago and never let go.
