Book Summary
For weeks, the immortal warrior Aeron has sensed an invisible female presence. An angel--a demon-assassin--has been sent to kill him. Or has she? Olivia claims she fell from the heavens, giving up immortality because she couldn't bear to harm him. But trusting - and falling for - Olivia will endanger them all. So how has this 'mortal' with the huge blue eyes already unleashed Aeron's darkest passion?
Now, with an enemy hot on his trail and his faithful demon companion determined to remove Olivia from his life, Aeron is trapped between duty and consuming desire. Worse still, a new executioner has been sent to do the job Olivia wouldn't...
My Thoughts
Olivia is an angel that wants nothing more than to molest the very demon that she is suppose to kill. She even goes so far as to give up her wings to become human so that she can win his heart. Well, ladies, once we set our sites on that one particular guy, nothing can save him. Olivia is determined to have Aeron, even if it means dying for him.
Aeron is the clueless demon that can't comprehend why a fallen angel craves his attention so much. Besides being a total idiot, he has a heart of stone-or so he thought-and has no time to play boyfriend to a misguided angel. He tries his best to fend off Olivia's advances but the more he fights, the more he starts to be crave her attention as well.
I loved this story and had so much fun reading it. Who knew that angels and demons could play so nicely and so dangerously? The drama and the dialogue had me not wanting to stop reading. Each time I got to a spot that I thought I could bookmark, I just couldn't put it down.
There was very few dislikes for me. One thing I didn't like was the history and mythology. I know those parts were probably essential to the story but I was a little too eager to get to the meat of the story. Some parts I did read, but others I just skipped right over. I like getting to the juicy drama filled parts, and this book had quite a few parts.
I also did not like the way the book ended. Sure it left room for another installment, but I hate it when things are tied up all nice and neat but you're still left feeling like it should be more.
My Rating
I give The Darkest Passion Four Stars. I would definitely recommend this book. I've always loved everything Gena Showalter writes, and this one didn't disappoint. It was a good read. The dialogue alone makes me want to reread just for the laughs.
