Okay, extra, extra good guys are acceptable too, especially if they wear a cape . . . ahem, back on topic. A title & cover mentioned by Nicole a while back got me all salivating for a book with angels in it as a break from all the dark, um, devil types we’ve been inundated with lately. You know the ones I mean. Then I got to thinking some more and realized that, while I’m sure I’ve run across romance with angel heroines, I can’t remember any angel heroes.
Hmmm. Further thought – is there a hidden sexist message in that? (Heh, what am I saying. Isn’t there always one when comparing heroes and heroines? ;p)
Anyway, got any angel hero romance recommendations for me?
In Novembers Romantic Times book reviews, under unusual paranormal characters, Tiffany Aaron’s Fallen Series is mentioned. Two of the fallen Angel’s are heroine’s but two of them are hero’s; Dominic and William. I do believe these books are Romantica.
Many years ago Justine Davis wrote a couple of Angel books for Harlequin that I thought were very good – Errant Angel and Angel for Hire. I think Kim Cates wrote one for Harlequin too – I’ll look it up but it might take a while – but it was very good too – aha – didn’t take that long – I (think) the title is Uncertain Angel. I may be wrong but if I am,I’ll let you know.
Bev, two titles come to mind. First an Anne Stuart, Falling Angel. I wrote about it here.
Also, Meljean Brook’s short story in the Hot Spell anthology might work. The hero’s not exactly an angel, but a Guardian, which is “a race of men who protect humans from demons and nosferatu”.
Jane: Both. I was initially thinking that I’ve read books with angel heroines sent down to earth to help out in some situations who then fall in love but couldn’t remember ever even running across an angel hero in the same situation. Then when I was writing it up to post, I thought it would also be fun to ask for really good guy heroes. Don’t know that their alpha-ness quotient matters either way.
Oh, and I’ve read the first two Angelica books. Not sure I’d actually call those guys angelic, though. ;p
Real angels? Sharon Shinn’s Angelica series. Fantasy books but definitely with strong romance threads.
Angel acting heroes? Like a beta hero? Need more definitions. Although a really nice hero exists in Jorrie Spencer’s Haven which I am reading right now.
