Publisher's summary

No safe word can protect the heart....

Infamous erotica author and accomplished dominatrix Nora Sutherlin is doing something utterly out of character: hiding. While her longtime lover, Søren - whose fetishes, if exposed, would be his ruin - is under scrutiny pending a major promotion, Nora's lying low and away from temptation in the lap of luxury.

Her host, the wealthy and uninhibited Griffin Fiske, is thrilled to have Nora stay at his country estate, especially once he meets her traveling companion. Young, inexperienced and angelically beautiful, Michael has become Nora's protégé, and this summer with Griffin is going to be his training, where the hazing never ends.

But while her flesh is willing, Nora's mind is wandering. To thoughts of Søren, her master, under investigation by a journalist with an ax to grind. And to another man from Nora's past, whose hold on her is less bruising, but whose secrets are no less painful. It's a summer that will prove the old adage: love hurts.

Wow! Can this series get any better?

This is a great listen. Parts of the story will make you squirm in your seat (or bed), but that just makes it better. Different narrator than the first book. Took me less than 5 minutes to get use to the new voice. Both books in the series will take you away, making is hard to turn them off. Both narrators were great.

Not too bad of a sequel.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would only if they enjoyed the first book as much.

What did you like best about this story?

There is a lot of character development. And there has some unpredictable twists.

The Angel

Where does The Angel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Hmm. Probably close to the bottom in narration and close to the top in storyline.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I feel a bit bad for being so critical of the narration but the voice that was used for Soren was nothing at all the way I imagine he would sound. It sounded like it belonged to an elderly man and really took away from the audio experience. I think that if a voice or accent can't be done properly then the narrator should just read the book as if telling a story and not try to use different voices for each character or only do the ones that they are able to do. I've listened to other audio books that have done this and they were excellent.

Woman voice in an all but one men characters

I absolutely love the story but it infuriates me that the narrator is a woman when all the character except one is male.. Should have been a male narrator. This narrator ruins the book. Read the book not this audiobook.

sometimes I have to wonder...

don't get me wrong, I love this series and totally recommend it. I actually think it's one of my favorite series that I've ever listened to. I liked book one but compared to 2 and 3 it was not nearly as exciting. but when it did have was a lot better narrator. so I guess you get one or the other witch kind of sucks. I guess this is life. My problem is that I listen to it on audible and I hate the narrator in comparison to book one. do you guys put cotton in your earsif it's a price thing then you should pay the difference. if it's the time management thing then spend a little extra time and find somebody better. trust me it makes a difference. Brooklyn hard people this is a big deal. I need a sexy voice with my sexy ebooks. quit ruining my sexy time. I need texting is. get it help me with my sexy time. I want sexy time. help me!!! do I have to keep continuing?

Outstanding story

Part of series.

Outstanding and unusual story. The characters have depth and the multiple storylines are intriguing.

BDSM-friendly. Includes D/s M/s relationships, with MFM, MM and MF. Challenging themes, including: teenage sex; Catholic priest in relationship; submission and
sadomasochism.

Narration is okay - not great.

**SPOILERS**

Enjoyed this story as much or more than previous book.

The character of Father S. Was very different than 1st book - admirable and selfless.

Sweet romance between Michael and Griffin.

Love Wes' storyline - can't wait for next book.

Interesting relationship between Father S. and Nora. Easier to under why they are together.

Totally enjoyed this book!

I love this series. Tiffany Reisz's characters are all very real, flawed and relatable. Her characters are multi- layered and find their way into your heart.

Love this book with all my kinky heart

Loved Michael and Griffin
Loved Nora and Søren
Loved Kingsley
Loved everything
Can't wait for the next audiobook!

Very Very Good.........but.......

First of all, I'm not one that likes when an author changes the narrator for each book in the series. Coming off The Siren which is narrated by a man that I found captivating and put a definite dark intense spin on the story; I was certainly surprised going into this book as the narrator is a woman.

I do not want to take away from the narrator as she was very good, however, I had already pictured the characters in my mind a particular way through the voice impressions of the first book's narrator, so I felt that I was starting over with a new story.

I found this book less dark and intense, maybe do to the new female narrator and her impressions. The story was very intriguing and gripping in a different manner than the first and found myself more in Soren's corner, probably because Nora is less frightened of him which took away the complete dark intensity of the first book.

I am really finding it difficult to understand the attraction to Wesley....maybe the next book will shine some light.

All in all, the series is very very good, but do be aware that this series may be controversial to many.

M/M Romance...

Would you consider the audio edition of The Angel to be better than the print version?

Yes. Audio gives the characters personality.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I love this series. Even though there are some very kinky things going on, the relationship between the characters is awesome. It almost makes you think the story could be true. This book does have some graphic M/M sex scenes that I am not comfortable with. I skipped over those parts which was kind of irritating.

What does Lilly Rhodes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Everything! I could tell who was talking and when. They had emotions, it sounded natural and not faked. She did very good job!

Any additional comments?

If you can get past the M/M the story is great. Obviously, I just skipped over those parts instead of giving up on the book all together. Start the series and read in order. The development is incredible you won't be disappointed.
