She never thought she would fall in love with the stranger, when she see the "good" in Emerson's cold attitude.

Fallen Angel is sweet story of fallen in love and second chance. It a "feeling good" story, that you would want to read all over again. A nice touch to read over the holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas). And the characters are real enough to be likable :)

This is one of Anne Stuart older book, written in 1993. And it won the 1994 RITA award for Best Futuristic/Fantasy/Paranormal Romance. It is more lighter than her normal dark side (The ICE series) of her books. I normally love the darker side of Anne's writing but this book was not bad. I'm trying to collect her older books and read them as I get them. Anne Stuart is one of my favorite author, and I can't wait to read many more of her books!
