Unchained Desire by R.C. AlvarezMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In many ways, this is an unusual read. Yes, it is a romance, but there's an awful lot more going on besides that. I've read plenty of books that would fall into a similar genre to this, the paranormal style of romance, with the heroine discovering that she's more than she originally understood and a hero that feels that he's too damaged for her. I don't know if it was how well written this book was, or that the plot was just the little bit different, or a bit of both, but there was something compelling about this story. Once I started reading, I was reluctant to put it down and had to keep reading until I got to the end.
There's something about the hero, Ramiel, in particular, which makes you want to follow his story and see what is going to happen with him. I enjoyed finding out about the world in which they live. It's clear that there's a lot more to come here, with questions left unanswered that I assume are going to be addressed in future books.
There was one little bit that I didn't enjoy. The ending of the book was a little bit cliche and unnecessary. I don't want to go into details and give away spoilers, but I can't help but feel that archangels and the like really wouldn't bother with conventional 'human' things, even if they were trying to provide some normality for their partner. I personally, would have prefered the book without that.
I really enjoyed this read and I am looking forward to reading what comes next.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
