4.0
Angels' Dance
4.5 Stars
Jessamy, Angel-kind's gentle and vulnerable historian and teacher, has lived her entire life in self-imposed exile at the Refuge. Born with a deformed wing, Jessamy will never fly and although she has come to terms with her life, she yearns to broaden her horizons. When Galen, Raphael’s new weapons master, arrives at the Refuge, he causes quite a stir. The brutish and blunt yet beautiful angel awakens in Jessamy a deep longing for all she has been denied, and Galen is determined to provide all of her heart's desires …
Series note: This novella is a prequel and it is best to read Angels’ Blood and Archangel’s Kiss first in order to understand some of the backstory. Readers who begin the series here may be lost and confused.
Jessamy and Galen’s opposites attract romance is so heartwarming and their chemistry is off the charts. They complement each other so well and provide everything that the other is missing. Galen is emotionally starved and Jessamy gives him the warmth and the love that he yearns for while Jessamy is physically impaired and Galen gives her the sky.
The minor suspense plot adds another nuance to their relationship as well as some interesting detail about the other Archangels as well as the background on some of Raphael’s Seven.
In sum, a captivating romance and a must read for fans of Singh’s Guild Hunter series, but it must be read after the first two or three installments.
