Sweet #2
Sweet Surrender
For five long years, Chantal has been in love with Dom. They have always had a great friendship and flirted with each other like nobody’s business, which just seemed to be their thing. Chantal’s feelings for Dom were obvious to everyone but him.
After being rejected for the last time by Dom, Chantal is fed up and ready to move on…or so she thinks. She finds solace in a familiar face and starts anew. Things start to heat up, and along with new beginnings come new surprises…and secrets. An old flame resurfaces and things go awry. The crazier life gets, the harder it is to keep her secrets from the people she loves, including Dom. Can she keep these secrets hidden forever?
Dom has been hiding his feelings for Chantal for five years. He just can’t see a way to make it work. There are things about him that she can never know. One could test her limits and the other would certainly test their relationship. Either way, Dom is afraid he will lose her if she were to ever find out.
Will the love that Chantal and Dom has for each other, be strong enough for them to cope with all of the lies and deceit? Or will it end them for good?

Just like the first book Angel f^%$'s with your head! These characters you love and want to kick their a$$es....Seriously! Dom I LOVE him to pieces but he gets on my nerves, he needed to tell Chantal a LONG time ago his feelings, I understand this makes the story, but UGH. The man needed a boot to the a$$. I loved Joey, sometimes I would love him more than Dom, lol. But their relationship really confused me, the whole "sharing bit" I don't think I could do it. But each their own, I really hope Joey is happy and I cannot wait to read more about his story! There was soo many emotions in this book and soo many twists and turns, some parts I never would of guessed they were straight up shockers. Nate and Sky, I loved them too, but ugh they live to torture each other. I feel like these were my friends, if they were real I would of slapped them both lol. This book brings out sooo many good and bad emotions from you. There were some major moments you would yell out " NO ANGEL, especially with Dom towards the end, you will see. Angel is a naughty, naughty woman. Lol. Which I feel is a good thing, Angel can sure write a book. I'm so proud of her! There is soo much to say about this book, so much happens in it. If you loved the first, you will love the second. So you must read it to find out!
I don't want to give too much away, so you must read for yourself <3
Some quotes I loved:
"I only came here for one thing, Dom. That was it. I'm doing what you did to me."
"I know you are, baby. This will never happen again, ok. I can't handle seeing you with anyone but me. You are mine, my to do whatever I please. Do you understand, baby?"
“You know I love you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you and you only, no one else does it for me, I don’t think of anyone else but you. I want to be with you every second of the day, not a minute less. You are mine, and I don’t care who knows about it either, Skylar.”

This book screws with your emotions so bad, I'm not sure which way is up, that's how bad I'm disoriented (and yes it's in a good way) The book takes over where book one left off and it still breaks my heart re-reading a scene, "it doesn't matter anymore, Dom I'm sick and tired of wasting my time on you, trying to get your attention, or anything out of you. Don't worry, I won't bother you again. Goodbye Dominic." I mean Dom doesn't have a right to be jealous he put his own a** in this situations, "who the hell are you going on a date with, Chantal?" He growled in her ear." Chantal that girl knows how to put a knife through your heart, "I only came here for one thing, Dom. That was it. I'm doing what you did to me." Damn straight girl you give him hell after everything he put you through and is putting you through. Then there were the times were you could see how passionate Dom really is for Chantal but I sometimes couldn't help but think is it only for sexual reasons? "If I had known you were wearing this dress, you wouldn't have left the house. You would be ties to my bed, naked." There were other times Chantal hits the nail right on the head of course she's kind of hammered when she does it, but she still does it, "you never asked me out? You have never taken me anywhere. You only want sex from me, Dominic." Dom is possessive, "I know you are, baby. This will never happen again, ok. I can't handle seeing you with anyone but me. You are mine, my to do whatever I please. Do you understand, baby?" Well if that's true maybe you should get your head out of your a** and get s*** straightened out, wouldn't that be lovely, I think it would. As we got to the end of the book I was truly nervous that Chantal and Dom's story would have a damn cliffhanger but I was pleased that there wasn't but there was a cliffhanger about someone/something else.

OMG this book was amazingly HOT!!!
This is the 2nd book in the series.
Dom is a no relationships kinda man, who has many secrets and is the ultimate alpa male..some of the scenes in this book melted me into a puddle.
Chantel wants him and goes after what she wants, wow what a shock she gets LOL
WOW chemistry is sizzling and OMG the sex scenes are passionate,possessive, and I totally loved it..
But I also loved the personal connection that the author put into these characters, that's what makes this story so well developed.
This book is extremely well written and it's a series and I can't wait to read what happens next!!
Angel is an awesome new indie to look out for, her story lines and characters are unique and keep me page turning
5 stars

HOLY HELL! Okay, I absolutely loved book 1, Sweet Temptation and that book was centered on Skylar and Nate and a lot happened in that book. This book is centered mainly on Chantal and Dom (Skylar and Nate’s best friends).
Sweet Surrender literally starts off right where the first book left off with Chantal and Dominic, well after the prologue anyway. And it doesn’t waste any time getting into the heart of the book. It doesn’t drag on which I love. Takes right off, which in my opinion makes sense because we were already introduced to all the characters in the first book. No need to back track on most parts.
So the book picks up with Chantal going over to Dom’s wanting to surprise him with her as a gift and let him know that she wanted to be more than just friends or whatever their relationship was. Instead she walks into something Dom isn’t ready or even sure he wants to share with her. Dom tells Chantal they can’t be anymore than friends and that he doesn’t feel that way about her and Chantal races away from him crying and hurt. And so their story begins.
The book not only has POVs from Chantal, and Dom, but it has POVs from Skylar, Nate, and Joey. Five different POVs mean a lot of happenings going on in this book. I loved this book! I loved that there were more than two POVs. At first I was a bit unsure if it would be pulled off well, but after getting into it I actually looked forward to certain POVs from certain characters during or after situation. What I liked most about the different POVs is that sometimes the character reiterated the scene from the beginning and some just continued from after the scene. I think both were needed depending on the situation and glad it didn’t do that throughout the whole book because that would have just been me reading a scene twice every time.
So much happens in this book; I just couldn’t put it down. Dom and Chantal are obviously meant to be together, but Chantal doesn’t believe that Dom feels the same way she does and Dom doesn’t think that Chantal can’t handle his life style. This causes Chantal to try and avoid Dom and Dom avoid Chantal, but their chemistry is so strong they struggle immensely to do so and it doesn’t always work. Which in turn produces some very HOT SEX SCENES!!!
Angel Steel does not disappoint with all the sex scenes that happen between certain characters in this story. She has a way with describing with detail that makes you look up from your book to make sure no one can tell your flushed and possibly sweating from excitement while you read through the scene. Don’t fret there is a story in between the sex. A very good story!
Chantal is a strong character, a “hothead” if you will and doesn’t take shit from anybody. Well unless it is her parents. She knows what she wants; she is intelligent (but even intelligent people tend to do stupid stuff), she’s passionate, loving, and kind. I love that she has a mouth on her and she is quick to stick it to you and say what is on her mind before she thinks. However, there were times in the book that Chantal absolutely got on my nerves, especially when it came to her feelings for Dom. She was battling on whether or not he felt the same way, or if she should tell him, or she would analyze, like most women do, but I was just to the point where I was yelling at my kindle “JUST TELL HIM ALREADY DAMN!”
Same goes for Dominic, he was fighting his feelings for Chantal even though he knew deep down inside she was his soul mate in every way, but he felt like if she knew what he did for a living besides working as a mechanic she would hate him and be disgusted with him. Assume shit and you make an ass out of yourself. This goes for the both of them. For them to both be strong characters, they are wimps at the same time, but hey that is what love tends to do to the toughest of people! Secrets they are keeping from each other may just be their downfall.
I’m glad that Angel Steel still included Nate and Skylar’s story within the pages of this book. Their story was not finished from the first one, a lot was left hanging from book one. Skylar is coming along in her pregnancy and although she ended things with Nate for how he hurt her, she was still very much in love with him. It’s the trust issues she was having from all the events that took place previously. Plain and simple she doesn’t trust Nate with her heart, but her body is a different story. She can’t help but to get aroused whenever he is around. She battles with whether or not it is a good idea to let him in on the pregnancy or not. Things slowly but surely progress in the right direction for the two of them, but they still have their problems. Their main issues are TRUST!
We also get to go into the mind of the handsome bar owner Joey! I was very excited about this POV because he was introduced into the first book, but just a hint of him. This time we get a little more to chew on. Joey is more intertwined into Chantal and Dom’ story at first. That is all I will give you on that.
I love that all the main characters are very important to each other and though none of them are family by blood they are still family, maybe even stronger than blood. They always seem to be there for each other no matter what. Drop what you are doing no matter what so I can help kind of love. That is rare to find these days and it was nice to read a story with that kind of friendship involved. They treated each other like brothers and sisters and yes they fight like that too!
The only part I really have a problem with is that something similar to what happens to a character in Sweet Temptation kind of happens to a character in Sweet Surrender and just felt a bit to familiar to me and almost like a repeat. Still makes the book really interesting I just feel that other readers may not go for another incident so similar.
Like I said before, so much happens in this book, someone is being stalked, people are keeping secrets (HUGE SECRETS), close calls happen, love is lost, a fire, a fight or two, sex and lots of it, lots of tears, trust is broken, true colors surface, happy moments, a new world you may not be familiar with comes into play and shocking moments that you won’t see coming!

I have a pain in my brain!
Talk about an emotional roller coaster ride....
There were times in this story that I felt for the characters, times when I was happy and sad, times when they frustrated the hell out of me and I felt like throwing my kindle and then times when I literally wanted to drag a character out of the book and punch them in the face and scream "WAKE UP!".
Sweet Surrender continues on from where Sweet Temptation left off, only focusing more on Dom and Chantal. We still get to see Skylar and Nate's story continue and of course there is the gorgeous Joey thrown further into the mix. I love these characters in all there frustrating glory and thought that Angel did a great job following on from book one, you could really see the growth in her writing and in the characters.
Chantal and Dom have secretly loved each other since they first met 5 years ago (well not so secretly since their chemistry and connection is off the charts and completely obvious to everyone around them), but they are both too afraid to share their feelings for one another. Both of them also hold secrets that they believe is the reason why they can't be together.
What you get with these two characters is a pull and push effect. They are drawn to each other but constantly push each other away, making for a frustrating journey for both the characters and at times the reader.
The story was full of twists, surprises and some of the steamiest, sexiest and down right naughtiest sex scenes that I have read in quite a while (Dom and Joey together.... Yes please!). If it's a HOT, HEART RACING, DIRTY read full of sparking chemistry, passion and need that you want, this is the book for you.
I'm a big fan of dual POV stories and I loved that we got both couples (Dom / Chantal and Skylar / Nate) and Joey's POV. The different POV's rounded the story out and made it complete.
The fact that Angel hasn't pigeon holed this book into one genre was something that I really liked. From romance and suspense to BDSM / erotica, Angel covers all the bases to capture a very entertaining read. This book was a page turner that ensured that even during it's most frustrating moments, you couldn't put it down.
The ending gurantees that I will eagerly await the next instalment in the SWEET SERIES to see how everything plays out.
I would absolutely recommend this book and series to readers who like to live on the WILD side ;)

**JOSIE'S REVIEW**
Why 5 stars? Well let me tell you why…Angel Steel knows how to write!!
For 5 years Dom and Chantal have been friends. They have also been in love with each other. Chantal continuously tries to pursue Dom but he is constantly turning her down. He’s scared what she’ll do if she finds out his “secret.”
Every time he would turn her down would seriously frustrate me!! He’d be all “God, your smell. It drives me crazy,” and then BAM “That shouldn’t have happened. It won’t work out. It never will…” WTH?!!! There were so many times I wanted to reach into my Kindle to punch him.
When Dom finally goes too far with his cruel words, which leaves Chantal feeling gutted she decides she’s had enough. “This between us…stays this way. Nothing more. You’re not my type.” As soon as he says it, he knows he doesn’t mean it. But Chantal finally moves on with someone who is just as hot as Dom and all too willing to indulge in her fantasies.
Will Dom just willingly give her up or will he decide to make his move?
Angel Steel weaves a story of betrayal, friendship, loyalty, danger, erotica, romance and suspense in every page. The way she writes certain scenes and the characters survival is nothing short of amazing.

Angel Steel has done it once again. This woman must have a hard time sleeping at night, because her imagination runs in over drive!
This is the second book in the "Sweet" series and since I had already fell in love with all of the characters from the first book, I knew I had to find out what mischief Angel had planned for them in this one. And she did not disappoint! So many twists and turns, surprises that I NEVER saw coming! And yes Angel, I do forgive you for giving me a heart attack toward the end!
I feel the plot and storyline is awesome, however, it really needed more editing. Simple mistakes that should have been caught by anyone that really read the book. I know that is harsh, but I know a lot of money is paid out of pocketbook by these authors for editing, formatting, cover art, cover designs, etcetera. If an editor goes back through this and corrects the mistakes, this would definitely be a 10star for me! Love you Angel and I can't wait to read Joey's story!

Wow... This book absolutely blew me away. It tells the story of Chantal & Dominic, and continues Skylar and Nates story. The men in this story you love or love to hate and the women have tragic stories but persevere through life hoping for love and commitment from there soul mates... This book had me on the verge of tears at the end ..... And that is not easy to do.... I am not the overly emotional type but this book tugged at my heart.... And always the sex in this book was super hot.... Write fast Angel Steel.... I want another book!

HOLY FUCKING COW (Please excuse my French)
Seriously this book what HOT off the Richter scales.!
Angel clearly had an imagination burst whilst writing this book, and here I though the first book in this series was seriously FUCKED up , but she's gone and done it again with this one.
It picks up where the first book ahas finished and although this is the story of Chantal and Dom, is still shows us the working progress of Nate & Sky's relationship and how their adjusting to the new circumstances that followed.
I'm glad that Angle did it this way, and that she hasn't left any of the characters out.
She has built them up extremely well and were not left wondering how someone got somewhere :)
If you're after a nice Romance read, then please read no further as this has some seriously twisted, head banging, earth shattering shit in, which I FRICKING LOVED!
It also had BDSM in and if you're not a fan, then sorry but this isn't for you.
Chantal has been in love with Dom ever since he came to her rescue those 5 years ago, She can't seem to function without him,. she wants him, but the question is.....Does Dom want her?
Dom has had an infatuation with Chantal, she's hot, feisty, quick mouthed, doesn't take no shit and he wants her to be a SUB.
Yes there were a few grammatical errors, but with a storyline like this going on, who cares, sorry :( I'd be more than happy to proof-read you're future work *hint hint*
This book will seriously screw not only with your head, but with your life, your drawn to this, you feel impelled to be apart of what's going on, you are connected more than ever to all the characters as if there a part of your family and friends and you want to look after them when their down and broken .
Oh and boy does Angel leave is hanging at the END!!!! Seriously!!!! CAN NOT WAIT
Bring on Joey, Kristen & Cassie

Yes there were a few grammatical errors, but with a storyline like this going on, who cares, sorry :( I'd be more than happy to proof-read you're future work *hint hint*
This book will seriously screw not only with your head, but with your life, your drawn to this, you feel impelled to be apart of what's going on, you are connected more than ever to all the characters as if there a part of your family and friends and you want to look after them when their down and broken .
Oh and boy does Angel leave is hanging at the END!!!! Seriously!!!! CAN NOT WAIT
Bring on Joey, Kristen & Cassie

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!! Holy BDSM!!! I had the pleasure of being a beta reader for Angel, and let me tell you this book had me on my toes. One thing I admire about Angel's writing is all the little details she includes while developing her characters. You get to see bits of what molded them in to the people they are. This book if full of surprises, pain, heartache, Kink, steamy panty melting scenes, and love. It is so much deeper than what most people write these days. If is a LONG book, but there is not a moment where you want to skip chapters because you hope it gets better. You WANT to skip chapters to cheat because the raw gritty emotion squeezes your heart! When I was reading this, there were parts I was so Pi**ed I wanted to smash my damn Kindle, because it broke me down. I laughed at parts, but this book made me feel things that the characters were reading. It turns you on and has your eyes burning because you are so worried that when you blink you will loose that sexy moment that has you caught up. I honestly don't have enough good things to say about this book. I cant wait to see if Joey gets his own book! Angel has such talent, and her attention to detail is exquisite!

4 ½ ****STARS
OMFG!! Angel Steel’s Sweet Surrender is not at all what I was expecting. This story follows five characters and gives you all of their pov’s, so you must keep up! At first I was very frustrated because there felt like there was a back story with two of the characters (Skylar and Nate) that I wasn’t aware of but the further into the story you go she gives you there history, so give it time.
The main characters Chantel and Dom have known each other for five years and Chantel wants to be with Dom, but Dom doesn’t want to be with her because he feels like because of his “lifestyle” and “career” she won’t want to be with him. Dom is an ahole and pissed me off and had me putting my Nook down and just walking away, and as much his character infuriated me I couldn’t stop reading the story.
Block out a weekend and read Sweet Surrender, it’s maddening, sexy and hot as hell! You will not want to put it down!
I couldn’t give it 5 stars simply because I thought it could have used a little more editing.

This is the second book in the series and oh my God is it ever good. I love the
fact that this book focused on Dom and Chantal but also had all the other
characters in it and their stories continued along. The struggle Dom had trying
to protect Chantal from his life style but wanting her so badly was portrayed
very realistically. Angel gives you a taste of the true Dom/Sub lifestyle. It's
written in such a way as to intrigue you into wanting to know more! This story
is captivating, you will not want to stop reading this book once you start. I've
read it twice and noticed something new each time because I found myself trying
to hurry to get in just a little more before I had to go to work or do anything
other than read. I can't wait for the next book. Even though there isn't a huge
cliffhanger it still leaves you wanting to know what happens next. Highly
recommended for those that like 50 shades or the crossfire series. I think these
are even better and I loved those!!

WTF, Angel Steel takes you on such a ride throughout book two in the sweet series. Book one Sweet Temptation took you through the story of Sky and Nate...as Sweet Surrender starts you learn more about Sky and Nate's best friends Chantal and Dom.
As you read Sweet Surrender a part of you forgets its a book and not your life, your entranced in the story and characters. Chantal is in love with Dom, but Dom has secrets he feels he cant tell Chantal or he'll lose her. What he learns is if he's not honest he will loser her no matter what. I loved the surprises throughout the book but man did my heart break over and over. Sweet Surrender can be read as a standalone or you can read them in order. I loved this book and how it didn't fall into the typical BSDM world. Ms. Steel proved she's a force to be reckoned with yet again.

Holy F…ing Hotness. That´s how I would describe this book.
Hot Guy. Hot, steamy sex scenes. This book has a lot of BDSM in it and it is a big roller coaster.
This book is centered around Chantal and Dominic, but at the same it in this book we see the continuation of Skylar´s and Nate´s story that has started in Sweet Temptation.
This book is a must read. I highly recommend it. Every page brings something new and I just couldn´t put it down until I finished it.

OMG is all I can say. What Chantal and Dom go through is a true test of their relationship. Skylar and Nate travel down a road that leads them back to each other. Trust is a hard thing to lose and harder to regain. These two have gone through some tough obstacles and grew stronger. A definite read, one where you cannot possibly put it down. It will keep you going until the last page and making you want for more.

OMG!! I seriously think that Angel was trying to kill me with this book!! It made me so angry! Then it made me laugh, and then cry. It made me mad some more and then made me cry again. For half the book I hated Angel, and for the other half, I loved her even more. This book is an emotional rollercoaster!! Angel is a brilliant author! I love Dom, Chantal, Nate, Skylar and Joey! This story was better than the first (which I loved immensely), and I can not wait for the next one!!!!!

omg it was a great read. it keep you into it wondering what what would happen next. it was HOT the stuff between dom and Chantal. you could feel the love. I cant wait to find out about joey and Kristen. at least I hope we do

This was a good book/ story, but I would only recommend this book for people who like a lot of spice and hot scenes in their books, otherwise this book is not for you. It was a little too spicy for me, but the story line was very good and I loved the surprise ending of this one
April 20, 2024
Stupid story, stupid characters, couldn't bother to read, I skimmed, I still got the gist of what was happening and it was, you guessed it: stupid.
October 13, 2013
It started out really good but as it went along it started to drag a lot. I really was hoping this would be a great read but it just got to where it was too slow in places. The ending I liked it was just the middle that I didn't really like.
Chantal - I wanted to like her but in the end she just annoyed me. She fought so hard against being a submissive, but then it was like within 24 hours she was the perfect little submissive, she didn't really fight back at all she just automatically started going "yes, sir'' "no, sir'' Plus she was whiny in my opinion and wanted to be dumb when it came to her supposed stalker.
Dom - I actually liked him. He's pretty much in your face about everything except his 2nd job. Which I can understand why he didn't want to tell Chantal but he also never gave her the chance to possibly understand. From what I do understand of the BDSM world, the way Dom reacted to certain situations he acted accordingly as any dominant would.
Skylar & Nate - Boy what can I say! Skylar was basically punishing him for what others did to her in the past and pushing him away. I understand he screwed up BIG time and yes its hard once that trust is gone. But he also proved that he was 100℅ with HER over months of time. But she didn't see it all she saw was, what others did to her and punished him for it. She wasn't even pushing him away because of HIS mistake but others mistakes.
Now overall the story/plot was good and characters developed well. They were very believable even if didn't like Chantal & Skylar. Which is unusual for me, usually I dislike the guys. I probably would have liked it more if it was a faster pace story. But as I already said I liked the beginning and the end. It was the middle I didn't care for. It was just too slow. Do I recommend yes I do. But if your like me and like fast paced books you'll might be on the fence like me.

The range of emotion I felt in this book, I swear I ended up developing whiplash. Angel takes you on quite the emotional roller coaster with Chantal and Dom’s story.
Sweet Surrender is the follow-up to Sweet Temptation. The book focuses on Chantal and Dom who have been friends for five years. The connection between them is beyond obvious but neither one want to submit to their feelings. Dom believes that Chantal won’t accept the real him and Chantal is afraid her feelings won’t be reciprocated.
Dom is an extremely HOT ALPHA who has more secrets than the Kennedy’s. He’s a no relationship kind of guy. Chantal is a strong female. She is an independent woman who is a natural go getter. She doesn’t let anything stand in her way and doesn’t take any crap from anyone unless it’s from her parents.
When it comes to sex, Angel knows how to get a girl hotter than a whore in church and wetter than a slip n’ slide. The intimacy between these characters is passionate, possessive and so electric you were left panting in the end.
The connection between Chantal and Dom had the lust, passion and their bond that they developed as well as the storyline itself, was not a problem for me. What was an issue was the too frequent flip-flop, hot and cold demeanor between them. Also every time something good would happen in the story, it was almost immediately followed by some type of turmoil. Don’t get me wrong, I love twists and turns and ups and downs but for me there was too much, too often. I like to be able to savor what I’m feeling when reading and because one thing was happening one right after another, that I wasn’t able to digest and got too full, too fast.
Overall I thought Sweet Surrender was ok. I do recommend just based on the connection, storyline and intimacy. I’m anxious to see what Angel comes up with for book 3. I’m predicting Joey and Kristen’s story to be the best.

Five years of loving him and five years and wanting him…
The feelings she has are not one-sided but the both refrain from telling each other.
All their friends see it and feel the attraction running thick between them.
They both carry secrets and fear that in the end it will only push them apart.
This is the second in the series. This story deals mostly with Domonic and Chantal although you do get to see Skylar, Nate, Joey, and everyone else.
Chantal has had enough of Dom ignoring her and decides to move on, but when she tries what happens with her love life is quite unexpected. As she opening her store and finding out about a new way of life a series of threats might just ruin everything.
Domonic has been in love with Chantal for five years, but he believes if he goes after her his secret life would destroy anything they could have together. An unexpected request could give him a taste of what he's always wanted, but will it be enough?
Take the wild ride with Chantal and Dominic.
With some steamy hot scenes and even hotter tempers between the main characters you'll definitely need a fan close by to keep cool!!!!

What can I say about these two books, Sweet Surrender and Sweet Temptation? Well, for one, they REALLY kept me hooked; I mean for 23 hours my kindle never left my hand. I even fell asleep with it in my hand.
They are hot, steamy and actually quite accurate which makes me wonder if our author is a submissive??? Also, how much does this story frustrate me beyond belief? How much upset can these characters have, but I love the books soooo much more because it isn't all happily ever after.
These are two of the most amazing books I have read in so long that I can and will now stalk this author for the rest of her life... joking! No, seriously, my honest review is I love this series and am totally hooked. What a talented author Angel Steel is. Thank you for the book equivalent of chocolate!

This book is one of those you either love or hate. The characters in this book are exactly that you end up loving them but you also end up hating them... The book starts off really good but half way into it I was loosing interest but like a good trooper I kept reading. Towards the end the book started to pick and my interest once again was back full force. The story is all about Chantal and dom. I always like a book that has both characters POV but in this one you get more than that. Chantal was a bit irritating she kept acting like she didn't want anything to do with the whole sub deal but magically ends up being okay with it! Ofcourse Dom doesn't want Chantal to find out his secret so he always is turning her down.... Anyways Read the book make your opinion... enjoy!!!!

Angel Steel has brought on another emotional roller coaster of a book.
This one centres mainly on Chantal and Dom, but expands on Skylar and Nate's ongoing relationship.
Your emotions pitch and roll and grab you until the end.
Bring on the next story Angel.
