4.0 out of 5 stars Good Mystery... Not as Romantic as Others, Aug 6 2002
By Beth Jones Henkel "sabriel25" (louisville KY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Petals In The Storm (Paperback)
Petals in the Storm comes as the second in the Fallen Angel Series. If you pay attention to the time line though, these books are not really in chronological order. Rafe, the Duke of Candover and the oldest of the Fallen Angels, fell in love right out of school. However, this young man that always was an aristocrat and rarely showed weakness let his pride and anger ruin his chances with the girl. When a mission takes him to Paris, much to his surprise his contact turns out to be the girl only she's now in disguise and one of the best spies for England. Margot Ashton is not the same girl that Rafe fell in love with. She has known excrutiating pain at the hands of men and only trusts one man explicitly... Robin, her protector of many years. As Rafe works through his feelings, his jealousy grows towards Robin and his fear for Margot in this dangerous masquerade begins to consume him. In the end, Rafe, Margot and Robin face their greatest enemy together and find an unlikely alliance that leads Margot and Rafe to the love they denied so many years ago. It's worth having for the bookshelf. It's more whodunit than romance. The sensuality is not really there like in Thunder and Roses. But it's still a good read and I really liked Rafe from his other roles in the Bargain and Thunder and Roses.

5.0 out of 5 stars A different spies story, July 15 2002
By Jorge Frid (Mexico City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Petals In The Storm (Paperback)
This book is a book of english spies in the early 1800 in France, but is different because the book tells us the personal problems of the spies (of course including a love story) instead of how they do their work or who they are spying, as a matter of fact their work is taken as a second story of the book, it is interesting knowing how a spy do one thing for his country when he really wants to do another thing.
Is a nice and easy story that will relax you while you read.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent heroine chooses a jerk? Who would think?, Mar 23 2002
By Lighthouse Ann (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Petals In The Storm (Paperback)
Alright, I confess I had a great time with this book. It's extraordinary to read a romance with plot beyond the love story. Our lady hero, the spy, manages to save the world. Our author also manages to sneak in several warm messages of a woman's resilience and ingenuity.

Unfortunately, I could never quite come around to the hero after seeing him in all his wondrous arrogance and self-centeredness. It was a little like watching a romantic movie when there's no chemistry between the two lead actors.

3.0 out of 5 stars A let down compared to THUNDER AND ROSES
If you came to this book, after reading THUNDER AND ROSES (the story of Nicholas and Clare) and THE BARGAIN (the rewrite of THE WOULD-BE WIDOW) in which Rafe, Duke of Candover... Read more

Well, I must say, this is not one of MJP's better books. The hero is a jerk throughout the majority of the book, and when he finally discovers how wrong and stupid he had been, it... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining yet disapointing.
I finally finished the Fallen Angel series. I purposely read them slightly out of order just to save Rafe for last. Read more
