Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great compilation consisting of two reissues and one new.
Review: FALLEN ANGELS brings us something Lori Foster fans have come to expect, and thoroughly enjoy - three connected stories. First we have the reissue of BEGUILED, then there is the reissue of the hard-to-find WANTON, and a great new story, UNCOVERED.

BEGUILED

Private investigator Dane Carter's twin, Derek, is dead. Dane steps into Derek's life for two reasons: for the sake of the family business, and to try and ascertain whether or not his brother was murdered. The first person Dane plans to meet is Angel Morris, his brother's last girlfriend. Is she the enemy? Could be, because during a hostile takeover, Angel was fired. Dane doesn't even have the chance to go to Angel. She comes to him. Angel is afraid to trust, and in fear, and she also needs protection. She's in danger, so she feels she has no choice but to go to Derek for help. As Dane's family kept Derek's death hidden, Angel doesn't know she is dealing with Dane - not Derek.

BEGUILED is a great story, and an excellent choice for a reissue one of Lori Foster's books. When Angel approaches Derek, after not seeing him for several months, he seems different, more intense. He's also gentler, and begins to break down the barriers to Angel's heart. BEGUILED has a sharp emotional edge to it, with enough intrigue to make this a great romantic suspense. Read this book, and you'll see how lust, however powerful, only lasts for a second with Angel and Dane.

WANTON

Celia Carter is bound and determined to prove herself, including making up for some things in the past. Her current goal is to find and save a missing girl named Hannah Barrington. Celia left her life of luxury and joined her brother's private investigation firm. Her newest job is quite dangerous, and Alec Sharpe, also a private investigator, makes it his business to keep a close watch on Celia. This creates problems, however, as Alec Sharpe is a danger to Celia's senses.

Alec's known Celia for about a year and a half. She's shut him out this entire time. Lust is taking over the bigger part of his brain, but there's something else there, a tenderness he feels for her, and that is something Alec doesn't like. Alec is hard, intense. A man convinced that he doesn't need or want love in his life. Alec is going to get Celia out of his system, one way or another. But first, he has to keep her from getting killed!

If someone had asked me before what my favorite Lori Foster book is, I would have said it is too hard to choose. But after re-reading WANTON, I'd have to say that WANTON is indeed my favorite. Alec's intense, sensitive and sensuous nature is utterly remarkable. How he affects and helps Celia, all while trying to deny the deep affect she has on him, is just wonderful. Alec is powerfully attracted to Celia, yet he only wants to sate his lust. Love is something Alec no longer has room for in his life. But Celia breaks down his defenses. For readers that have been scouring used bookstores looking for this incredibly good book by Ms. Foster will definitely get their money's worth when they purchase FALLEN ANGELS.

UNCOVERED

Harris Black and Clair Caldwell are good friends as well as jogging buddies. Clair's smitten and Harris hasn't shown any sexual interest. Harris is a firefighter, and after a warehouse fire near Clair's apartment building, he finds a shoebox full of pictures of a naked woman - and letters stating the woman was madly in love with him.

As Clair works for private investigators Dane and Alec (from BEGUILED and WANTON), Harris hires the firm to locate the woman. With her nude pictures, which were taken by a previous boyfriend without her consent, floating around the office, and possibly soon, the small town, Clair must find a way to end this investigation. What will happen when Harris finds out his secret admirer and Clair are one and the same?

I enjoyed this story by Ms. Foster. It's shorter the first two in the anthology, but since I met Harris in MEN OF COURAGE AND RILEY, I was able to jump right into the story. This story has delightful humor in it as well, and nicely rounds off this wonderfully engaging anthology.

Even though Ms. Foster connects her stories, they all stand alone. However, if you are like me, you will want to read all of Lori Foster's books, and even re-visit favorites as time goes on. So, be sure to pick up a copy of FALLEN ANGELS, because this book has intrigue, danger, passion and love, and is a great read that you won't want to miss.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As always, Lori Foster delivers great romantic suspense!
Review: Fallen Angels by Lori Foster is a collection of related stories- two of which are older, previously published works and one (Uncovered) is new. Each story is interconnected and has similar themes of secrets and mystery.

In Beguiled, Dane Carter has come back to investigate his twin brother's murder. He even pretends to be his twin to Angel Morris, who was involved with his brother and has a child with him. Dane is attracted to Angel, but also must try to protect her from the killer. Complicating their romance is the lie Dane is keeping in pretending to be his twin.

In Wanton, Celia (who is Dane Carter's sister) has sworn off men when her ex fiance was found to be a criminal and only marrying her for her money. Celia is now determined to make up for her past bad judgements by helping others. Private Investigator, Alec,is Celia's boss who has to keep her safe while they investigate and convince her that love is not wrong.

In Uncovered, Harris and Clair are best friends but Clair has always been secretly in love with Harris. Accidentally, Harris finds some nude pictures of Clair along with Clair's unsigned notes professing her crush on him. Harris is immediately intrigued by this unknown woman and hires Clair's private investigation firm (run by Dane and Alec) to find his mystery woman. Surpringly, none of the 3 men recognize Clair's body in the photos and start a search for this woman.

It is nice to have each story in one volune and see how each story is related. Lori Foster always writes exciting, romantic books and these short stories are no exception.

Summary: I loved all 3 stories!
Review: Fallen Angels contains re-releases of 2 of Lori Foster's earlier books, plus a brand new novella.

In BEGUILED, Dane Carter is a investigating the death of his twin, Derek. The Carters are keeping Derek's death quiet. Dane, a PI and the black sheep of the family, pretends to be Derek while he tries to discover whether Derek's death was an accident - or murder. At first, he suspects Angel Morris. Not only is she Derek's former lover, he also caused her to lose her job in a very public and humiliating manner. And Angel has secrets of her own. What will they discover when "Derek" tries to be a part of her life again?

WANTON is the story of Dane Carter's sister Celia and PI Alec Sharpe. Celia has left the Carter family business to work for Dane. Alec is Dane's best investigator. When Celia puts herself in danger trying to save a young woman in trouble, Alec tries to pull her off the case. But stubborn, independent Celia is having none of it! Alec has his work cut out for him.

In UNCOVERED, Clair Caldwell has a thing for firefighter Harris Black, but they are just jogging buddies. When Harris accidentally comes across nude photos of a woman - and notes about him with the pictures - he is entranced. And Clair is horrified! To Clair's chagrin, Harris hires a PI to try to locate the woman - Dane Carter's firm, where Clair works. Can she find a way to get Harris to notice her and convince him there's no need to discover the identity of the mystery woman?

I love connecting stories, and in these three sensual romances we get to revisit a whole lot of characters from more than one series. In BEGUILED, I love the way Dane comes back to do whatever he can for his family even though they have pretty much rejected him. And Angel is nowhere near as fragile as she appears! Alec from WANTON is irresistible, and Celia is definitely a match for him. UNCOVERED kept me laughing. It was so much fun to watch Harris bumble along. I kept hoping Clair would find a way to get him to notice her as more than a friend. I thoroughly enjoyed all three stories!

Summary: Good but ...
Review: For some reason the two heros here reminded me of Bryan from The Secret Life of Bryan, which is probably unfair because these two guys, while pretty good, do not hold a candle to Bryan. The two stories ARE good though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another writer that I enjoy,
Review: Foster is a name that I always look for when selecting romantic suspense books. Fallen Angels has three of my favorite stories in it. Nicely done!
