He also blames her for a particularly unpleasant incident and refuses to believe she’s telling the truth.
Alex is very rough and intimidating, and he does give her all kinds of crap.
I’ve heard people say that they don’t like this book because Alex is such a bastard to Daisy, especially in the beginning. But this inconvenient marriage of convenience quickly takes on a life of its own, and both Daisy and Alex must confront their strong attraction to each other. Neither is looking for anything more than a six-month tour of duty for which they will receive eventual payment. Daisy considers Alex an overbearing monster, and Alex thinks his new wife is a frivolous piece of fluff. Neither of these two thinks much of the other when they meet. She will do what he tells her when he tells her to do it, or he will make her existence most unpleasant. He hauls her from her posh surroundings in New York City to the rural South for a six-month traveling circus tour with the Quest Brothers Circus, a small, not amazingly successful outfit of performers. On his watch, Daisy will grow a backbone and some character. She is completely at his mercy, and suddenly prison doesn’t seem like such a bad option.Īlex Markov agrees to this marriage of convenience for his own reasons, and he is determined to keep his promise to Daisy’s father. This is all well and good until Daisy realizes, just moments after the vows are spoken, that her new husband cannot be controlled and he won’t bargain. Then she can claim her trust fund and get on with her regularly scheduled life. Rather than go to jail, she agrees to his scheme: she will marry the man of her father’s choice and stay married to him for six months. The death of her mother, a resultant spending spree, and a mountain of debt all conspire to place Daisy Devereaux at her father’s mercy. This is Susan Elizabeth Phillips at her most enjoyable. It’s a wonderful story of personal growth, filled with humor, emotion, and some pretty sexy love scenes. Kiss an Angel is one of my favorite comfort reads.
