Book Review: Read it, you'll love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

The story opens with Daisy Devereaux and Alex Markov exchanging marriage vows. You see, Daisy has been depressed lately -her mother just passed away. Her parents were divorced, and Daisy was living with her mother. So when her mother died, Daisy thought the only way she could cope with her sadness was go on a shopping spree. She bought expensive clothes and jewellery all on credit, and when she had no money left in the bank, she still kept spending. It was only until she was given a warrant to be arrested did she realize her big mistake. Not wanting to face jail, she turns to her father for help. Daisy and her father never got along well together, and her father thought it was about time for Daisy to clean up her act. So he decides the only way that that can happen is for Daisy to get married to a man of his choosing, for six months. Well, and if she doesn't, then she can just face her future in jail. So Daisy's father picks Alex Markov, and quickly they are married. At once Alex takes Daisy away, and she is on a journey that will forever change her life.

Alex Markov is a man full of secrets, and his character/history is not fully revealed until near the end of the novel. He is not too pleased about getting married, especially to a girl who he believes is an airhead and only cares about her vanity. Well you may wonder why he would agree to such an arrange marriage. But as mentioned above, he is a man full of secrecy and to say anything would ruin the novel, but I will only say he owns Daisy's father a favour, because he did something for Alex long time ago. Presently he is working as a traveling circus manager, and he takes Daisy with him, and they live in a run-down trailer. Daisy at first is disgusted with the accommodations, but soon is in awe with the different type of lifestyle some people have. She begins performing in the circus, at Alex's command and bonds with animals that she'd never imagined she be able to see. She takes the marriage vow she and Alex had very seriously, and goes out of her way to be a good wife. Moreover she soon realizes that she cares for Alex and that caring quickly turns into love. Alex soon sees Daisy's real personality, and that she's not a bimbo at all, but a beautiful girl with a heart that is so loving and sweet, that he can't help but begins to care deeply for her. However something in his past makes him think that he is unable to love anyone, and in turns he finally breaks Daisy's heart. How he goes about fixing it is the most wonderful of all!

My favourite parts in the novel are when the circus is travelling from state to state, and each time Daisy and Alex are eating at a restaurant, Alex begins flirting with the waitress. One of the times this exchange takes place:

*Alex* "Back already, Sis?" He smiled, the glint of challenge in his eyes. "Tracey and I have been getting to know each other"

*Tracey - Waitress* "I'm trying to talk your brother into hanging around for a while, my shift ends in an hour."

*Daisy* "You sweet, sweet girl. He's been so self-conscious around women since his medical problem was diagnosed. But I keep telling him- with wonders of antibiotics, those pesky little sexually transmitted diseases are hardly a problem for anybody anymore."

And every time Daisy outsmarts him and gets him to stop. That's how serious she is about her vows. Read KISS AN ANGEL, you won't regret that you did!

Summary of Kiss an Angel

How did pretty, flighty Daisy Devreaux find herself in this fix? She can either go to jail or marry the mystery man her father has chosen for her. Alex Markov, however, has no intention of playing the loving bridegroom to a spoiled little featherhead with champagne tastes. As humorless as he is deadly handsome, he drags the irrepressible Daisy away from her uptown life and sets out to tame her.

Except it won't be as easy as he thinks. This man without a soul has met a woman who's nothing but heart. Will vows spoken in haste shatter . . . or offer the promise of love everlasting?
