A vampire hunter is tasked by an archangel to track a rogue archangel, and she risks her life and her heart in the process. Elena is a gem - she's smart, resilient, snarky and can kick major ass. Raphael is the stone cold, dangerous but sexy archangel who can be a total jerk. Though rife with sexual tension from the start, it's a slow burnish romance. The chemistry and push pull is intense, but there's a lot for them to work through, not to mention Raphael keeps thinking about offing Elena (kinda Anne Stuart-esque). 

The pacing of the romance and action is well balanced, and Raphael's walls coming down is a sight to behold. The sweeter moments between them are a treat, and there're also doses of sensual steam. And I can jive with Raphael's possessive protectiveness. The action is great - I liked the world building, and the supporting cast is interesting.
