A review by charms1976
Beauty Awakened by Gena Showalter
4.0
I am a huge fan of Gena Showalter. I admit that I am not caught up on all her current releases, but what I have read in the past has been awesome. I love her writing and the worlds that she creates within the pages of a book. As you can see from the description I posted above, this is the second book in the Angels of the Dark series. I haven’t read the first book yet, but I didn’t have much of a problem following along with the story. While I am sure I probably missed out on recognizing certain details — such as this author appearing in the previous book — I didn’t feel cheated by jumping in feet first with book two.
The characters were written beautifully. Koldo was heartbreakingly wonderful. While he is hard to enjoy at times, other times he makes you want to weep at his feet. While Showalter usually writes kick butt heroines, we get to see a vulnerability with Nicola that is a bit softer than the norm. Also, while the sexual tension and chemistry is definitely in this book, it isn’t as high on the sexual scenes that Showlater usually includes. It is still steamy and hot, but not as fluent as in her other works.
While I am a fan of this new series, I still feel the need to revisit her previous works to get my fix of what I have become accustomed to. Definitely a series I will keep reading though because I can’t stop reading what this author writes.
