    About this audiobook

    “Julie Anne Long reinvents the historical romance for modern readers.” —Amanda Quick

    From USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long comes the second book in an exciting new historical romance series, the first since her beloved Pennyroyal Green series.

    He has devil’s blood in his veins. At least, that’s always been the legend. How else could the Duke of Brexford’s notorious bastard son return from the dead? The brutal decade since Lucien Durand, Lord Bolt, allegedly drowned in the Thames forged him into a man who always gets what—and who—he wants. And what he wants is vengeance for his stolen birthright . . . and one wild night in Angelique Breedlove’s bed.

    Angelique recognizes heartbreak when the enigmatic Lord Bolt walks into The Grand Palace on the Thames, and not even his devastating charm can tempt her to risk her own ever again. One scorching kiss drives home the danger.

    But in the space between them springs a trust that feels anything but safe. And the passion—explosive, consuming—drives Lucien to his knees. Now his whole life depends on proving his love to a woman who doesn’t believe in it . . . because his true birthright, he now knows, is guardian of Angelique Breedlove’s heart.

      No one writes intimate scenes like this woman, and those sparkled in this. Perhaps more so because the rest of the novel was slightly lacking.
    • 4/5
      Angel In A Devil’s Arms is the second book in the “Palace of Rogues” series, and after the ending of book one ” Lady Derring Takes A Lover” I was highly intrigued to read this one, since she gave us a teaser on the beginning meeting between our two protaganists: Lucien and Angelique. I will admit that in the first book I didn’t know quite what to make of Angelique. There is quite a bit of mystery surrounding her in many respects, and it was this mysterious cloud that is hinted at that makes you want to know more of her. I am not sure why exactly it took me so long to pick up this book but I had completely forgotten of this release, it really just slipped my mind but when I saw the audio available at my local library, I just grabbed it instantly, knowing it was time to grab it up. I will say I am relieved that I did so, because it had the balance of what I was looking for.Angel In A Devil’s Arms places the reader back into the setting of the Palace of Rogues and this beautiful and elegant boarding house in the docks of London. We get to see the fun interactions between all of the guests but most especially we get drawn into the drama that is building between Lucien and Angelique. At first, our two protaganists don’t care for each other, its more of a toleration mixed a bit with intrigue. But as they grow to unveil that mystery that surrounds each other, there seems to be a sense of intimacy that builds between Lucien and Angelique. Angelique is determined not to grow fond of Lucien, his charm is dangerous to her, because she has secrets and he could harm her and what they have built here with the boarding house. But she soon realizes that love is worth the risk, but will Lucien be her champion and partner?“Is it something about me? Or do you feel as though you can treat all men as though what we feel is of no consequence?”I have to say I had such a blast with this book, and I laughed my socks off. I had forgotten how witty this author’s writing can be, and all that dry wit just had me smiling all the way through and it definitely was the book I needed to help lighten my heart. I found the romance between these two to be quite endearing. It has a sense of “enemies to lovers” but that light angst that exists between them isn’t consistent all the way through. I really liked how the author implemented the healthy boundaries for a relationship by both the man and the woman, it showed a sense of equal fairness I was drawn to. I was also fascinated by the story behind the hero and trying to figure out who was behind the attempt on his life and a budding relationship with his younger half brother (who was adorbs)But what surprised her most was the gratitude for everything, including all the heartbreaks, upheavals, betrayals she’d so far known. The wrong men had simply prepared her to recognize the right one. The seemingly wrong turns had led her precisely to where she wished to be.I did find that overall this story offered the comfort and distraction that was desperately needed and it gave a lighthearted tone to a story that will leave the reader with a smile and aching for more!

      I loved the idea of this series from the start. Well, no...scratch that...I loved it from the first few pages when we got to know the (then) Lady Derring, her anything but loyal husband, and all the ensuing "fun" her new life would entail. By book's end, I was hooked...and READY FOR MORE! The more is this little beauty and first off, I have to say...GREAT job on the COVER! Her dress is fetching, as is the viscount in her bed (*giggle*), and the title makes one wonder exactly why he's being labeled a devil. I suppose potentially returning from the dead to reclaim your life, set things right (for you and those you hold close), while upsetting a few old chaps (aka settling debts!) along the way is a perfectly good way to gain that moniker...but rest assured, fair readers...he's not so much a devil as to dissuade your interest...or that of our dear Angelique. Despite her less than amicable introduction to the series (let's just say the groundwork was NOT set for her to be a longstanding character), I couldn't wait for her to get her own story and I'm SO GLAD it came sooner rather than later.

      In the end, this was the story we were waiting for, the story we needed to set things right for a woman who's past wasn't exactly squeaky clean, with a man who could care less about the advantages others may have seen and taken of her predicament, and who's only desire (well, eventually) was to make sure nothing ever broke her heart or trust again. It all built towards the desired HEA readers adore...readers like you and me...and I'm not saying it's smooth sailing because yeah, no, but then the course of true love never did run smooth....

      I didn't like this one as much as the first in the series, but overall it was good. Both characters acted a bit daft right near the end and I didn't love that, but I get what the author was going for, creating a final hurdle to their happiness and what not. I chuckled frequently, and am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

      Angelique Breedlove is one of the co-owners of a boarding house down at the London docks. The mysterious new boarder is Lucien, Lord Bolt, the illegitimate son of a Duke who 'died' ten years ago by drowning in the Thames. Despite her reservations, the two are drawn together.I love Ms. Long's writing. She can make me laugh out loud and then swoon at a steamy romantic love scene. Angelique and Lucien are appropriately cast as the hero and heroine, supported by the other boarders who we met, for the most part, in the first book of the series. Their interactions provide some of the best parts of the stories and make the reader long to sit with them in the best sitting-room, knitting while listening to another person read. I did think the ending was a bit weak and wrapped up too conveniently, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. Still, it's a wonderful romance, and Julie Anne Long is always worth the read.
