WICKED ANGEL
Shirl Henke
Leisure, Apr 2001, $5.99, 392 pp.
ISBN: 084394854X
Half Muskogee and half-English aristocrat, Alexander Blackthorn leaves Coweta, Georgia to spend time in London. The simpering women of the Ton leave Alex cold. That is until he rescues Jocelyn “Joss” Woodbridge from an unruly mob threatening her preacher father.
Joss is so different than the ladies he has met, as she is intelligent, braver, and taller than those that have turned Joss off from his English heritage. Soon Alex and Joss begin to become better acquainted and they begin to fall in love with one another. However, before their love can firmly cement, they are forced to marry even as a second war of independence between the two Anglo nations separated by the ocean is imminent and threatening to destroy their relationship.
WICKED ANGEL is clever blending of humor, romance, and history into a powerful Regency tale. The story line is fast-paced, filled with amusing moments, and loaded with tidbits that anchors the time and place without slowing the plot one iota. The two delightful lead characters and a strong secondary mix leaves the audience with another powerfully entertaining Shirl Henke novel to savor.
