Kurzbeschreibung

A full length historical romance from six-time RITA winner Barbara Samuel. Fans of Jo Beverley, Eloisa James, and Stephanie Laurens will enjoy this passionate and romantic historical romance by six-time RITA award winner Barbara Samuel.

A Taste Of Heaven

Ardor once foolishly led Lady Adriana St. Ives into the arms of a rake, an affair that cost her everything she held dear. Though that was five years ago, this golden English beauty still vows that no man will ever again ignite the sensual passion hidden deep in her soul--not even her new husband, Tynan Spenser, Earl of Glencove, a darkly handsome and rich Irish rogue.

Known as "The Black Angel" for his wild and lascivious ways, Tynan is as determined to melt his icy bride as she is to resist his seductive charms. Vowing that she will be his in just one hundred kisses, Tynan sets out to win her with a kiss each day--a challenge Riana is sure she can withstand. But the willful beauty has no idea of the power of a single kiss...

Der Autor über sein Buch

Whee! It's finally out!
I'm so happy to finally be able to share THE BLACK ANGEL with readers. I had a blast writing this book, and even made a research trip to England and Ireland to better understand it. (Well, okay, I wanted to go to the UK and this book was a good excuse.) It's zesty and passionate and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
This is also the beginning of a family series....look for Cassandra's story next summer.

"Barbara Samuel is a sorceress, wielding her pen like a magic wand." --Romance and Women's Fiction Exchange

"A dazzling, sensual tapestry...Barbara Samuel proves once again that she is one of the most gifted romance writers." --Mary Jo Putney

FROM EARLY REVIEWS:
"There's plenty of underlying, potent sexuality and intense emotions in the Black Angel. Ms. Samuel skillfully draws the reader into the story. Her indelible characters and powerful plot are enhanced by the well drawn backdrop and hint of suspense. This is a must read for anyone craving a hard to put down, moving romance." --Romantic Times

"The Black Angel is one of the very best historical romances I have read this year. I do not hesitate to recommend it to any and all. It is a superb book - simply superb." --Ellen D. Micheletti, All About Books

Von Merle
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Das Setting ist Regency und spielt im Victorianischen Zeitalter vorwiegend in London. Gesellschaftliche Unruhen werden angetönt, sei es das unterdrückte Irland mit dem Vorwand der Spaltung in katholisch und anglikanisch, beides Christen, die Sklaverei in den Kolonien oder die Unterdrückung der Frauen mit der Suffragetten-Bewegung. Aber alles sehr oberflächlich, nur angetönt, so dass wir irgendwie im Leeren stehen. Das Buch ist zwar recht gut geschrieben, macht aber nicht wirklich Spass.

Die 23-jährige Lady Adriana St. Ives ist seit fünf Jahre eine gefallene Frau, seit sie mit dem unehelichen Neffen des Königs (Victoria regiert hier schon lange) eine öffentliche Affaire hatte. Ihre Brüder haben im Duell den Mann getötet und mussten fliehen, der Vater, ein Earl, ist vor einem Jahr gestorben. Aus Pflichtbewusstsein lässt sie sich auf die Ehe mit einem minderen irischen Earl ein, wehrt sich aber gegen eine emotionale Bindung mit ihm. Nun muss sich ihr zurückgekehrter Bruder vor Gericht wegen des Mordes verteidigen, der Galgen droht.

Drama im Trippelpack, alles geht schief, die Stimmung ist sehr unerfreulich, und ich konnte mich mit den Protagonisten nicht anfreunden, sie blieben mir fremd. Eher 2 1/2 Punkte.

Rich and rewarding 17. Juni 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This book proved to be a wonderful surprise and I look forward to reading to other books by Barbara Samuel - especially as some as so reasonable on Kindle.

Adriana is a complex and passionate character, shamed by the consequences of her youthful indiscretion on her family - especially on her brothers, who had to flee after a duel. She tries to hide behind ill-fitting, unflattering clothes, deflecting any attention.

Her family urgently need finances and her father (now deceased) arranges her marriage to the Irish Black Angel, Tynan Spenser, Earl of Glencove. His reputation is that of a handsome rake who needs access to society in London.

Adriana cannot understand why her father insisted on her rather than one of her sisters as a match for Tynan and fails to see how her scandalous past will help him in gaining access to society.
Tynan held Adriana's father in very high regard and honours his promise, despite his initial disappointment at the apparent dowdiness of his new bride.
Adriana is determined to do her duty, but wants to keep her distance emotionally, frightened to open herself to the possible turmoil that she has suffered in the past.

Their initial impressions of each other are wrong and the book is a voyage of discovery in their relationship. Adriana is a woman of many faces with great courage and passion. Tynan is a man of honour with a sense of purpose and the desire to achieve very unselfish goals. They balance each other and that realisation is the thread of the story, ultimately making it clear that Adriana's father made a perfect choice.

The backdrop to the story is also very interesting, touching on many social and political topics: the colonies and unfair treatment of those considered inferior, religious freedom, the station of women and the hypocrisy in so-called polite society.

The characters around Adriana and Tynan are very real and command attention - from her brothers and their adventures since feeling England to the plight of Tynan's twin brother.

The pace of the plot is fast with many twists and turns, suspense and drama, paralleled by the emotional drama of Adriana and Tynan right through to the last page.

I have to agree with another critic and say I didn't like all the tangents the story went on--feminism, racism, relgious freedom.

BORING!
I had a hard time finishing the book. The only reason that prevented me from ditching it was the money I paid for it.

Very little intrigue and very poorly written.

Non-Romance fan, loved "Black Angel"
The story moves, the characters are complex not contrived, and the "romance" is integral instead of tacked on. Great job, Barbara Samuel! Lesen Sie weiter...
