Ruthless Paradise #1.5
Angel, Mine
I will take her pain, and her smile will be my cure.
- Tyler "Ty" Reyes -
Those who come to Zion Island run from something.
She ran from darkness and trauma.
And the minute I meet her scared hazel eyes as she sits on the beach after the boat crash, my world tips on its axis.
Danielle.
Dani.
Angel...
I'll heal her wounds.
I'll take her pain.
I'll turn this island upside down to make her smile again.
Because my own past is dark. But her smile will be my cure.
* This novella is part of the series that should be read in order. Please, read OUTCAST, Book 1 i n RUTHLESS PARADISE, before reading ANGEL, MINE as it omits quite a lot of background information about the Island.

It would have so much potential!!! But the amount of cringeworthy details ruins it. And everything feels so rushed!!! Going still to continue the series because I’ve heard that the chancellor book is way better, hopefully.

I cringed through 99% of this book

Plot nebyl nic moc, ale fakt strašně moc miluju Tye. Ty má přesně tu personality, kterou bych chtěla mít u partnera.
Akorát mě zklamala technika let me fuck your problems away..

This free short story sums up a lot of the main events from book one but from the POV of Ty and Dani.
The first 40% has lots of telling: not necessarily in a bad way, because we were told about the MCs lives/how they went through the Change (the doom) up until that moment and also how they lived and saw a great part of the plot in book one.
The remaining 60% were what I loved about book one: the feelings (good, bad and in between) went straight to my heart, the writing is brilliant at conveying everything.
There wasn't much of new plot, but lots of swoon and some sexy times.

For a very short book I rate it a 5/5 stars ⭐️

I’m a sucker for rereading a book but from another character’s POV so being able to do that through Ty and Dani’s eyes helps bring more insight into their characters and their perceptions. Talking about their interactions from book 1 but being able to read it in their POV in book 1.5 is such an amazing feeling. Plus getting to see their relationship develop through their eyes and not just Kai’s, Callie’s, or Katura’s eyes really gives the story some umph!

I love the naughty side of Ty. He has a filthy mouth on him!!
I wanted more though. I understand this novella had to end where it did but I’m left wanting to know more about their story.
What happened after ‘Petal’
I know there’s another book due but it’s based around Archer & Kat, so will we be left in the dark about Ty & Dani???
Urgh, I hate not knowing lol

I really enjoyed learning more about Ty and Dani’s lives from their POVs in this book. I feel like this helped me understand why Ty is such a goofball and why Dani was so reserved and scared when they came to the island. This story didn’t have much additional story to add to the series, but it did provide a wonderful romance and ended in the same spot as Outcast!

Mostly unnecessary. Not many more details about their love story were added that you couldn’t garner from book 1.
Though, I will say. FINALLY we have some characters that actually seem realistically traumatized by the fucked up dystopian world they’re living in. That scene where Ty freaked the fuck out was great. I hope we’ll see more of that in book 2 because it was missing in book 1.

A nice little novella about dani and Ty’s love story had a lot of details in that we already knew from book 1 but really enjoyed getting to know the 2 characters back story’s of what happened to their family’s after the change. I think both characters really helped each others trauma and guilt and had a really good connection.

Da#n it Ty
This POV is the best and such a great bridge between Outcast and Petal! Seeing more into Dani and Ty is priceless. Dani isn't what she seems. I'm hoping she shows more of herself as the story continues. Ty well he is deeper than anyone could predict. There is a reason he smiles so much.

the idea of having ty and dani's pov was great but this was really cringe at times. sometimes i was just hoping that the book would be over soon 😵
“I want to make you smile more often. You are beautiful when you smile.”

Angel, Mine is a sweet little Novella surrounded by Ty and Dani.
It follows them from their first met to the point of the end of Outcast.
If you enjoyed Outcast and plan on reading Petal, this is a cute in between.

Look I was totally not expecting this side of Ty
Definitely a nice little bonus for signing up for the authors newsletter.

Loved having the extra details of a few side characters!! Novels are great and help with more insight into the world around the main series!!!

Loved getting more story of other characters.

I didn't think for a second that I needed Ty's and Dani's story. The intimacy was too long but I really loved it. Now, I fear that one of them will die in future books.
Praying that I am wrong.

Literally so good but wish it was a whole book and not a novella

Loved getting a glimpse of Dani and Ty

Lil novella at least now I know what’s going on in that lil brain

It was unnecessary but I love it better than the two first books

A good Novella, very well written, puts you at peace about Ty Reyes and Dani's love story! could be a very good idea as an adjoining plot as a future book.

I just finished and can't wait to continue the series! Lexi Ray does NOT disappoint! When I started this novella, I wasn't sure I was going to fall in love with Ty & Dani's story but I inevitably did and was rooting for them and loved when they said I Love You!!! I can't wait to continue the series with Petal, the second book in the Ruthless Paradise series and see where Ty & Dani's and Kai & Callie's relationship progresses. Lexi Ray
