Rating: Summary: Sexy Gunslinger Story Review: "Angel" is the third in a series of romances set mostly in the wilds of Wyoming. In this Lindsey novel, the hero is an intimidating gunslinger named Angel, more often called the Angel of Death, because he never loses a fight. He is called down to Texas to repay a favor of a man who saved his life. The favor: to keep a "meddler" named Cassie from getting kicked out of Texas by the two families enraged at her botched attempt at matchmaking.Both Angel and Cassie are interesting characters, Angel more so for his tragic upbringing and his highly dangerous, but mostly lonesome career as a hired gun. Cassie is perky with her fine lady mannerisms and rancher upbringing. With her flair for getting into other people's business, she can't seem to stay out of trouble. Plus, she has an eccentric homelife, which includes a pet panther from Africa named Marabelle who loves to clean her teeth on bare toes. The story is fun and the action nonstop, from the first chapter's opening showdown at noon to the final "showdown" between Cassie and Angel, with stampedes, brawls, and all sorts of crazy things thrown in between. Angel's search for his identity is also an important element in this novel, and it is treated with care. The only "fluff" extraneous scene happens at the very end and I won't go into detail, but it doesn't serve much in my opinion other than to get Cassie's unconventional mom to like Angel. Altogether, I enjoyed "Angel." It is fast-paced and witty, and it brings back all the characters from "Brave the Wild Wind" and "Savage Thunder." Of the three books, however, I thought "Angel" was the least passionate. "Savage Thunder" is, by far, my favorite Lindsey novel EVER and it was where Angel made his first brief, memorable appearance. But the spark between Cassie and Angel isn't as strong as with Colt and Jocelyn of "Savage Thunder" or Jessie and Chase of "Brave the Wild Wind." I highly recommend "Angel." However, I'd first read its two prequels, "Brave the Wild Wind" and "Savage Thunder" (in that order) to familiarize yourself with the storyline and to wet your appetite for "Angel."
Rating: Summary: A roaring good time Review: "Angel" is the first JL book I've ever read and i loved it so much i have since bought everyone of her books and they are all amazing and unique and simply wonderful. This book is on my top five books of all time and it should be on everyone's. Angel is so adorable. He is so nice despite what happened to him and so strong yet vulnerable. Cassie was a perfect match for him. An excellent read...but that's not surprising coming from Ms. Lindsey.

Rating: Summary: After Brave the Wild Wind and Savage Thunder Review: Angel is a man with no past. After paying his debt to Colt Thunder in _Savage Thunder_ he heads to Texas to pay his third debt. Cassie Stuart is watching over her father's ranch while he is away selling one of his bulls. Cassie has become friends with each of her father's feuding neighbors. Realizing that there is love brewing across the enemy lines, Cassie helps the couple elope. The results are disastrous. She has made things worse and is being threatened to leave town. Unable to go until her father returns, Cassie enlists the help of Lewis Pickens, the Peacemaker. But Lewis is ill so he gives the job to the man who owes him: Angel. Angel is everything a woman could ever fantasize about. Cassie is no great beauty, but has the kind of looks that grow on a man. She is meddlesome, but only because of her kind heart. A wonderful couple with sizzling chemistry. A keeper!
Rating: Summary: THE BEST Review: Angel is by far my favorite Lindsey novel. I like sequels and this has Colt and Jocelyn and Jessie and Chase. Does anyone know what book Jesse and Chase are in or does one exist??? E-mail me jstrzelczyk@hotmail.com I highly recommend to others!!!!
Rating: Summary: A must read Review: Angel is one of Lindsey's best. I love sequels. If you've read Brave the Wild Wind, and Savage Thunder (the best) you must read Angel. Angel and Marbelle will keep you reading if nothing else will. I read it in one day and I still reread every now and again.
Rating: Summary: A top one Review: Except for Gentle Rogue, this is JL's best book. What I loved about it was that the characters were less than perfect in terms of beauty. As a rule, most romance heroes and heroines tend to be outstanding in terms of looks: they are most often pictured as being perfect: the men tall and handsome, the women beautiful to die for. This is one of those books in which the characters are not like that and this makes it easier for the reader (for me at least) to identify with them. The heroine is very lovable with her tendency to make things right which always gets her into trouble. The hero is not the usual big guy who makes his way through life using his sword/gun or whatever is appropriate to his time and place; instead, he has a hidden humour which I loved (although you have to read the previous book about Colt in order to see it fully displayed :). They do not fight all the time as do all the characters in JL's "early Middle Ages" book, but they do not have a soapy relationship either. It is just the right kind of "we get along" and "we don't get along". You can understand why they fell in love with each other. One of my favourites. JL is seen at her best in the Malory novels (don't we all agree about that :) ) and in the Wild West novels. My advice is to skip the Middle Ages and vikings books altogether, unless you prefer more violence, seemingly mindless struggle, and punishments in your romance book. I vote for the humor and adventure part myself. Happy reading!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely wonderful!!!! Review: I am an absolute lover of all of JL's books, except one which is not worth a mention, but, this book is one of my all time favorites!!! I loved Cassie and Angel and the way that they ended up getting married is hilarious!!!! This book is one to read and reread over and over again. Angel- well, one word describes him: hubba hubba. Ok, so it is kinda two words!!!! Read this book! You will love it and read it a gazillion times!!!

Rating: Summary: "Angel" is of Johanna Lindsey's best . Review: I collect Mrs. Lindsey's books I'm only missing three titles. I read Angel for the first time a little over two years ago, I have read it numerous times since. It has become one of my favorites. It is always nice to see a connection with the books you read. Johanna Lindsey has the talent to re-introduce characters without making it seem like they are still stuck in the first book you read with the same characters. Cassie and Angel are a unique pair and they trully deserve a book of their own. It is also nice to enter again the lives of Colt & Joselyn and Jesse & Chase it almost feels as if you are visiting old friends. There's something that can be said about a book that not only, introduces new charaters to interact with old familiar ones, but also can make you feel as if you are living the story
