Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a slightly longer novel by Lynne Graham after writing many enjoyable, albeit rather short Mills & Boon novels. The hero in this story, the 'Dark Angel' is Luciano de Valenza, a business man and troubleshooter for Linwoods, a failing wine business who finds himself convicted of ebezzelment. After spending five years wrongly imprisoned, his conviction is ruled unsafe, but he has still to clear his name and find out who set him up. High up on the list are members of the Linwood family. To complicate matters, he was engaged to Kerry Linwood, but just before he was arrested, she broke off the engagement, though he is not sure why. Now Luciano is free, he is out for revenge, starting with Kerry, only he begins to wonder if he can go along with his plans... This novel has all the trappings of a good Lynne Graham novel - a rich, handsome and somewhat brooding/moody hero (!) , a disillusioned heroine that needs her hero to convice her that he REALLY loves her because she loves him, exotic locations, a wicked step sister, an interfering PA, eccentric grandparents and lots of romance. Added to this, there is a family reunion and for those who are interested, this book concludes the connected series of M&B novels, An Arabian Marriage, The Disobedient Mistress and The Heiress Bride, where the main characters from these books make several appearences and are somewhat instrumental in driving the plot along. Because it is longer than your normal M&B novel, this book is able add further dimension to the characters of the Luciano and Kerry and plot driving the book to its eventual conclusion is more paced out and detailled, though the identity of the real culprit of the embezzelment was pretty easy to figure out early on, but hey, this is a ROMANCE and not a mystery and its the sort of brain candy for a slow weekend.

Format:Paperback
The final book in the 'Sister Brides' series, Dark Angel tells the story of the youngest sister Kerry, and her ex fiance Luciano. It's a longer novel than usual, but that's all to the good because it's definitely a keeper. Innocent heroine, wronged hero, crumbling Irish castle and Lynne's wonderful sense of romance and humour to keep it all going. I think that Dark Angel is the best of the four 'Sister Brides' books, and I'm more than happy to see Lynne writing in a longer format. Hopefully the first of many more to come.

It's been 5 years since Luciano de Valenza was convicted and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. At that time he had been an upwardly mobile troubleshooter in Rome, head hunted by the Linwood family to sort out their ailing wine business. He rescued the Linwood family business and at the same time swept Kerry Linwood off her feet and within a short time they were engaged. However when money was embezzled from the business, Luciano being the only outsider was framed as the fall guy, and was convicted and imprisoned. What hurt him most was the fact the one person he thought would stand by him, his fiancée' broke off their engagement.
Now thanks to his legal team Luciano was free and out to clear his name with only one thing on his mind -vengeance. He knew he had been framed and he knew the culprits, so it is `payback time'. He was going to take the Linwoods down including his onetime fiancée Kerry. Kerry on the other hand feels betrayed by Luciano. She believed that Luciano's only interest in her was because of the wine empire she would inherit.
This was Lynne Graham's first single title. It is also the fourth book in the trilogy of the `Sister Brides', but the plot twists and turns leaving you reeling till you get to the end. The hero starts out with revenge having just come out of prison; the heroine starts out with misinformation, as a result of a calculated deceit by her family and believes the hero betrayed her. Luciano's well planned vengeance goes awry as he finds out that he is still in love with Kerry who may not be a Linwood by birth. Then enter the characters from `Arabian marriage', `Disobedient Mistress' and `Heiress Bride' to further complicate the plot and spice things up. This is a very interesting and emotional read. A definite keeper.

Dark Angel
I totally agree with the other review I have now read all 4 books in these series. And I agree that Dark Angel was the best and worth waiting for. Keep up the good work.

good first attempt at longer story
As far as I know, this is Lynne Graham's first try at long stories and makes for good reading for all of 300 odd pages. A bit drawn out but overall worthwhile Graham style.
