I always love Julia London’s books and Wicked Angel is one of my all-time favourite books, so I was really looking forward to this.

For me, this was definitely worth the wait, a great funny story with two great characters who are obviously meant for each other :)

Honor I found quite funny at points in this, her scheme was childish but part of me thought that was the point. I was fully determined to not like Monica her brothers’ fiancé but ended up quite liking her in the end and I thought it was obvious who was pulling the strings with her.

George, well he wasn’t quite as good as some of the other heroes but there was something about him. To be honest I am not a fan of “gamblers” and I did think his ship was going to come in, in the end, but I loved the dialogue between the two of them. The chemistry between them was written very well too, as I read this there were no doubts in my mind that these characters should end up together. Although I am not sure I could have forgotten that last rejection he did in the end make good.

This ended up as very good story and obviously I love Julia’s Londons’ style of writing. A really good start to a new series and I will definitely be looking out for the others. Although I can’t help but hope Monica gets her own story which in turn meaning she doesn’t marry the boring Augustine.
