The Angel in My Arms by Stefanie Sloane
Injured in the line of duty, Young Corinthian agent Marcus Maxwell, the Earl of Weston, travels to his country estate to recover—or so he believes. His superior’s request that he investigate a smuggling ring run by Napoleon sympathizers seems ridiculous at first, but then becomes all-too threatening as pieces of a treacherous puzzle begin to fall into place. And the most troubling piece of all is Miss Sarah Tisdale, an unconventional beauty whose lust for life is rivaled only by her ability to drive Marcus to distraction. When her family comes under suspicion, Marcus must watch her very, very closely…even if her touch ignites the deep, fiery desire burning just beneath his cool façade.

When it comes to suitors, Sarah’s lush curves and perfectly kissable lips aren’t enough to compensate for her outspoken and willful nature. Sarah’s tasted disappointment before, and she long ago decided that she’s better off without an overbearing husband. Still, flirting with the sinfully handsome Marcus is a pastime worth savoring—even when it leads to wicked pleasures. But when Sarah’s life is in jeopardy, Marcus discovers that the fire between them can no longer be denied—and that he’ll do anything to keep her in his arms.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

THE ANGEL IN MY ARMS is the second book in Regency Rogues Series and continues with adventures of another Young Corinthian, Marcus Maxwell, the Earl of Weston.

Our hero’s origins play heavy in this story. As a young lad, his growing up was split between the Highlands and England. He always knew that he didn’t fit in, that his English blood wasn’t quite blue enough and would never let him be a true Highlander.

Sarah Elizabeth Tisdale’s tendencies are toward speaking before thinking, independence and clumsiness, traits widely known to all those who know her. They are one of the reasons for the lack of her suitors—not that she would like any. As a matter a fact, she’s been dodging one suitor in particular.

ANGEL IN MY ARMS was a delightful read filled with humor, intrigue, and danger, and love scenes that sizzle. Ms. Sloan continues to impress me with her writing style, witty dialogue, three-dimensional characters, and wonderful comedic timing. Once more she created a wonderful world of intrigue, love, and adventure that I’ll be sure to follow. The unexpected gave me enough tidbits to hook me into eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
