Miss Emmaline and the Archangel

Conard County #3

by Rachel Lee

Gage Dalton had been to hell and back. He knew what it was like to lose everything and had sworn never to care again. But then he met cautious, careful and proper Emmaline Conard. She was full of compassion and warmth-and she was in trouble. He couldn't imagine why she trusted him , after all she'd been through. But he vowed no one would hurt her ever again! Someone was watching her. Emma knew something bad was going to happen again.

And then Gage Dalton walked into her life and her heart. He was dangerous and unpredictable... yet he was the only man who made her feel safe and whole.

This was again a fairly typical oldie but sometimes the tried and tested isn't bad, and I guess this series does have a pattern. Our heroine is the only Conard left in town and is the town librarian. There are rumors that she fell for some travelling man years ago and that is why she doesn't date, but the reality is very different. Ten years ago when the heroine was in college, she was attacked and left for dead. The attack left her barren, and scared and terrified of several fears she can't explain (she never remembered who attacked her). Our hero is scarred, physically scarred from what we can see and emotionally too. He is an unknown quantity in town and we slowly learn about his pain, he is an ex-DEA agent who lost his kids and wife in a car bomb that left him crippled. When the heroine starts receiving threats the hero is at hand to protect her and they gradually start suspecting it ties back to the attack on the heroine. Even the whole underlying mystery in the past few books about the butchered cattle gets solved. All in all a nice read.

I adored this series by Rachel Lee. I lost the books when I sent out a book box, but I've been re-acquiring them over the years.

This is the second time (1/19/18 to 1/20/18),I'm reading the original stories in the series, the first time was when they were originally published. It was like being back with old friends and reminded me of why I loved Silhouette books and this author.

This is the 3rd time I've read it April 2019, & I'm sure it won't be the last.

Predictable. The stalker was creepy. The ritual thing was never explained. It was an ok story, at least it solved the mystery of the cattle killings that was not solved in the previous book. Although the why was never explained, just the who.

I liked the romance itself but I hated the suspense part. Please make the killer less obvious and let the h/h communicate. Instead Gage had to find out that he loved Emma after a deranged killer got her.

Both of these characters are so wounded by past events. It’s heartwarming to see them fight each other’s demons and find some peace together. Still wish there was an epilogue so that we get more than a paragraph of happy ending!

Rachel Lee is a wonderful romance/small town life/suspense writer! I was hooked on her Conard County books from the first Exiles End.. More people need to discover these stories. They will fall in love with this series as I have! Miss Emmaline and The Archangel was one of my favorites...
