Nora
How could she be so stupid? She’d thought she’d found the Daddy of her dreams, but he’d ended up being the monster in her nightmares. Now she’s free from him and staying with her best friend until she can get back on her feet. The only problem is she’s painfully shy, especially around men, and her best friend’s huge boyfriend and his seven huge brothers are around constantly. When her ex starts making threats, she knows she should run again. There’s only one thing stopping her. And his name is Angel.
Angel
He never thought he could feel so protective of someone he’s never even met. But when he hears Nora’s soft voice over the phone, he knows he has to keep her safe, no matter what. Now, she’s staying at his brother’s house and seems too shy to speak to him–or to even look at him. And maybe that’s the way it has to be. But when danger follows her to Seattle, all bets are off, and he’s going to protect her whether she likes it or not.

Ahh...the last brother. I'm so sad to see this series end, only one book left...I've really become invested in this series and characters..I know I will revisit often.
Angel's back story...oof, that explains so much about his character and also why he was the last brother Kate tackled. Let me just say, he earned his HEA.
And sweet Nora, she's not had any easier of a path in life...and she too earned her HEA and is the perfect Little for Angel.
We got plenty of interaction with the entire family as well as visits from Declan (can't wait for his book/the new series)
I simply just love the balance of DDlg, world/relationship building, and suspense in Kate's books...they are guaranteed to keep me invested and coming back for more.

Angel
TW: r*pe mentioned, SA, bl**d, sh**ting, tort*re, dr*gs, de*th
The TWs are not why this one got 4 stars. It was more like 3.5 but I round up. It got this because I was disappointed in how fast they moved. You knew Nora was going to have baggage and it literally went out the door after 2 seconds of meeting him!? And I know not all of it did but like it just seemed tooo quick. I was ready for a slow burn where he truly has to prove himself to her and it just didn’t happen. Now am I glad that at least not all of it went away immediately yes. Because that would’ve just not been realistic. I was sad to see it move so quickly though. She was supposed to be afraid of all men and I wanted to see Angel have to truly work very hard. I have been waiting for Angels story since I knew it was his idea to start the whole shadows thing and I knew his was going to be emotional and to a degree it was. That was just a tad disappointing to me.
That being said I did love Nora and Angel. They were cute and seemed like a good match. I did half expect her to end up with Tate based on their first convo in Ellie’s book but I love her with Angel! Angel being the biggest softie on her breaking rules is funny.
Tropes: touch her and d!e, k!lls anyone who’s ever hurt her, protective MMC, protective FMC, hurt/comfort, she has a troubled past, he has a troubled past

3.5 stars.
So freaking sweet.
And emotional, but totally worth it.
Angel is such a sweetie pie for Nora, it’s actually adorable how cute he is with her.
The silly jokes, the whispering to each other, the not being able to keep a straight face when she gets any level of sass…fucking adorable.
I loved this.
It had some pretty dark moments.
There was a lot of talk about abuse, physical and sexual, so check the TWs before reading.
But the sweet moments with her being Little, the sexy moments where he’d give her as much pleasure as she can handle, totally worth it.
I can’t wait to see who Tate ends up with.🥹

Love this series, Angel definitely stole my heart and it’s such a great character for this series. Love the FMC being the bff of one of the girls in this serie. Love the story and patience Angel has and how he helps her an respects her soo much. I’m not ready for this series to end but will definitely keep reading Kate Olivers books

Favorite line : “Do I need to shave my chest so it doesn’t tickle your face, baby girl?”

This book was alright, I just feel like it was rushed and lacked so many details in so many areas. In the vigilante scenes, their DDLG scenes, her being a Little with the other Little’s, her being a little in general, explaining her ex just so many missing pieces to the puzzle.

⚠️ SPOILERS RAMBLE - YOU’VE BEEN WARNED ⚠️
Hawk’s brothers all knew Nora was shy, non-verbal and scared of people but the moment she first showed up at the house they all came barging in loud and cursing… in my head I’m like dudes, you all have littles who were in similar situations and this is how you all act? She’s scared!!!
Nora meets Angel and less than an hour of meeting that man she would look up at him for confirmation when the other brothers or doctor would talk to her. She talked about having trust issues because her ex Trevor was too good to be true and here she is trusting Angel. Believe me Angel is a good guy but she’s doesn’t know him all too well. Angel and Nora is giving “insta-love” trope even though she has all these obstacles she needs to work on. I just feel like Nora was too trusting at times then she would be scared. She’s very back and forth.
Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the diaper situation and the drop off. Angel and her were talking about if she would feel comfortable being $panked by other brothers when being naughty and having her diaper changed by them. She said no to spanking because her background of abuse and only wants Angel to do it because she trusts him but said she’s be okay with them changing her diaper because it would be hot. WHAT! I almost DNF the book.
She said she wouldn’t want to have $ex with them and didn’t see them like that but it would be hot and sweet and make her feel more little. I was rolling my eyes. Angel’s brothers are your soon to be Little friends’ boyfriends - them changing your diaper should never be hot. I would have understood if it was yes, please change my diaper if Angel isn’t around to take care of me so I won’t have a rash but she didn’t say that at all! She then talked about the brothers are nice but not having the guts to talk to them…yet, you’re willing to show them her lady bits and thinking it’s hot. Girl what?
Then when Angel was dropping her off to his dad, Angel and his father was talking about her wearing pant!es instead of his diaper and the things the are in her bag. Typically drop off talk. But Nora was thinking about how she was getting tingly down there that two men were talking about taking care of her. Girl what?! I understand getting tingly at the thought and care your Dom is doing it make sure your safe. Get tingly for your Dom not tingly for your dom and another man. Chile, idk, I think I’m just a “my man, my man, my man” type of girl. Nora just throws me off.
Another thing that threw me off was when Nora was telling Angel about her life. Her and Ellie ran away together at 17 (Nora’s was dad was an abu$ive predat0r and Ellie’s parents passed) and then Nora brings up meeting Trevor and moving with him. This my first book I read in the series and it’s book nine but what happened to Ellie? It says she’s went to college but did Nora just leave her high and dry for Trevor. Missing gaps in the timeline.
Also, was she a v!rgin or not. She was telling Angel she was clean and always wore a cond0m but chapters back was talking about never being $tripped n@ked and etc.
Another thing, it wasn’t mention if she bathe when she peed herself when she saw Trevor at the gym. Just said Angel told her to change out of her panties and pants, then she was changed into some new clothes and when they got home she changed and got into bed. Nothing about bathing!
Last, Nora’s ex went looking for her but it was the bare minimum. He came to look at her car twice (he bugged her phone and car) and that was it. They found him when he was at their family gym for a totally unrelated reason that had nothing to do with Nora. He was at the gym making transactions with a local drüg dealer who coincidentally was going there too. They both were regulars gym members. Nora’s ex even asked Angel if they could train together, that man did not know Nora was there even when they quite literally almost ran into each other at the gym.
Nora seen him and hide the guys checked the camera found who he was making transactions with dr-g dealer. They asked the dr-g dealer Salvatore who Trevor was - since he had fake identities. Salvatore cooperated and would tell Angel when he and Trevor had another transaction and when Trevor would be at the gym. Salvatore set Trevor up and that’s how the guys got him.
What threw me off with Salvatore was that man didn’t like when Angel and the guys threaten his life if he were to do another drüg transaction their club. Salvatore ended up attacking them later in the book and Angel was even shot. Salvatore lost of course but what blew me is…why work with them to go against Trevor if you were going to attack them later. Why not warn Trevor and try work together to fight against the guys.
The vengeance scenes against Trevor, Nora’s predator and abuser of a father and Salvatore were quick and easy. It’s like they got bad guys and k!lled them end of story.
Overall, this book was okay. Like I said many times before I just wished it had more details. I do plan on reading others in the series like Maddox and Hawk.

So amazing
Aww I'm so glad angel finally got his little girl. I had a feeling it was going to be Nora since hawk and Ellie's book. I'm so happy for all the brothers and it was nice to have more interactions with them and the little in this book.I am a little sad that there are no more brothers and after doctor Tates book the series will be done. I really hope we at least get appearances from them in the shadowridge books and the mafia guys books. I would definitely recommend this book and this whole series. Its definitely going in my read again pile

Yet again a knockout! This had all the things that I loved from all the previous 8 books in the series and more. This is a DDlg romance story with added suspense/danger. Angel is the only brother not to have found his own little... look no further. This book carries on straight from Hawk’s book. When a little someone named Nora arrives seeking aid bruised and scared, Angel knows. Knows in his soul she is, he will do anything to protect her. He also intends on killing whoever hurt her. Throughout the series it has been said that Angel has a sixth sense for things so him knowing she’s his makes sense and even if it didn’t well, I wouldn’t care... it’s Angel after all!
Nora who has been hurt and suffers with serious trauma not only from her recent relationship but also her past arrives and instantly freezes up. Nora suffers with serve anxiety and social anxiety she find it almost impossible to talk in a room full of people epically strangers. But if you have read the other books then you know all of Angel’s brothers will accept her for her and do anything to protect her.
When they must call Tate to check Nora over, she locks up in terror, Angel knows straight away and slowly manages to help her calm. When Tate checks her over, let’s just go with I cannot wait for his book. He was so gentle and kind.
I LOVED this one so much I think it’s my favourite one yet. I adore all these books, but this one is special, Kate managed to capture the emotions and actions of such a rarely understood condition here. Angel didn’t let it phase him her knew she was him and he reassured Nora throughout the whole book. It was so sweet to see this big hot badass kneel so he wouldn’t scare her so much or when he declared he it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t talk, that he’d find a way to communicate with her.
Angel like the other brothers also has past traumas that he carries, but it is what make him. Together these two complete each other. They complement each other in all ways. They open up to one another and shared their inner scars and it was beautiful.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again Kate has a way of writing this dynamic so stunningly well, it is not crass or cheesy, it shows the true likeness of this BDSM kink in my opinion.
When he gets to spank her and he knows exactly what she needs, again proving he knows her on such a deep level.
Pop, he always melts my heart and Maddox and Hawk, gawd they all do to be honest but these three and how they treated Nora especially.
It was amazing that Declan and Killian made and appearance I am so excited for their books and Tate the Dr.
I thought the danger element in this book was very thrilling and stood out. And when the Angel of death got to his revenge, well damn that was wicked.
This whole series has been epic and I need more... so much more I wish there was another 8 brothers haha! I would love to see the others taking care of their brother's littles like Angel discussed with Nora... if you’ve read it, you know what I me! But seriously I cannot wait for the new releases K.O has coming.

Angel et Nora (Meilleure amie de Ellie : Tome 8)
Daddy et petite fille
📖
Nora
Comment peut-elle être si stupide ? Elle avait cru avoir trouvé le papa de ses rêves, mais il avait fini par être le monstre de ses cauchemars. Maintenant, elle est libérée de lui et reste avec sa meilleure amie jusqu'à ce qu'elle puisse se remettre sur pied. Le seul problème est qu'elle est terriblement timide, surtout avec les hommes, et que le grand petit ami de sa meilleure amie et ses sept grands frères sont constamment là. Lorsque son ex commence à proférer des menaces, elle sait qu’elle devrait se présenter à nouveau. Il n'y a qu'une chose qui l'arrête. Et son nom est Angel.
Angel :
Il n'aurait jamais pensé pouvoir se sentir aussi protecteur envers quelqu'un qu'il n'avait jamais rencontré. Mais lorsqu'il entend la voix douce de Nora au téléphone, il sait qu'il doit assurer sa sécurité, quoi qu'il arrive. Maintenant, elle vit chez son frère et semble trop timide pour lui parler – ou même pour le regarder. Et c’est peut-être comme ça que ça doit être. Mais lorsque le danger la poursuit jusqu'à Seattle, tous les paris sont ouverts et il va la protéger, que cela lui plaise ou non.
📕
🖋️
" Bonjour?"
Angel regarda le visage de la fiancée de son frère passer d'heureux à horrifié alors qu'elle écoutait celui qui était à l'autre bout du fil. Hawk planait près d'Ellie et quand elle se tourna pour le regarder, il hocha la tête.

Il sentit une paire d'yeux sur lui et baissa les yeux pour trouver Ellie le regardant avec des larmes coulant sur ses joues. C'est alors qu'il lui fit une promesse qu'il avait bien l'intention de tenir.

Daddy et petite fille
📖
Nora
Comment peut-elle être si stupide ? Elle avait cru avoir trouvé le papa de ses rêves, mais il avait fini par être le monstre de ses cauchemars. Maintenant, elle est libérée de lui et reste avec sa meilleure amie jusqu'à ce qu'elle puisse se remettre sur pied. Le seul problème est qu'elle est terriblement timide, surtout avec les hommes, et que le grand petit ami de sa meilleure amie et ses sept grands frères sont constamment là. Lorsque son ex commence à proférer des menaces, elle sait qu’elle devrait se présenter à nouveau. Il n'y a qu'une chose qui l'arrête. Et son nom est Angel.
Angel :
Il n'aurait jamais pensé pouvoir se sentir aussi protecteur envers quelqu'un qu'il n'avait jamais rencontré. Mais lorsqu'il entend la voix douce de Nora au téléphone, il sait qu'il doit assurer sa sécurité, quoi qu'il arrive. Maintenant, elle vit chez son frère et semble trop timide pour lui parler – ou même pour le regarder. Et c’est peut-être comme ça que ça doit être. Mais lorsque le danger la poursuit jusqu'à Seattle, tous les paris sont ouverts et il va la protéger, que cela lui plaise ou non.

" Bonjour?"
Angel regarda le visage de la fiancée de son frère passer d'heureux à horrifié alors qu'elle écoutait celui qui était à l'autre bout du fil. Hawk planait près d'Ellie et quand elle se tourna pour le regarder, il hocha la tête.
"Oui bien sûr. À quelle distance es-tu ? Êtes-vous d'accord?"

Really good, but really wish that the danger wasn’t over so easily. Also a few mistakes.
Wow. Really enjoyed this one. Angel is hot, sexy, caring and kind. What a combination. In Ellie and Hawks book, Ellie we meet Nora, who is her best friend. Nora’s boyfriend/daddy was abusing her and in this one she comes to stay with Ellie. Nora has been treat awfully all her life, so she’s very scared of anyone new, especially the sexy Angel.
Angel knows as soon as he sees Nora that she’s his. He’s so gentle with her as she can’t speak to him at first. When Nora’s past threatens her future Angel steps up his campaign to win her heart.
It’s really good, but it’s just so frustrating. Yet again, HOW OLD IS ANGEL??? HOW OLD IS NORA??? It’s really frigging annoying. What does Nora look like? No description of her beyond the fact that she’s a plus size. That annoyed me as well! You can describe her as plus size size but not what colour her eyes/hair are???? Then there’s the danger that all the women have faced, that never comes to anything and it’s so disappointing.
The other major issue with this book, grossed me out. Nora wets herself, they get her changed and Angel takes her home and changes her. Okay. WHY ISN’T SHE SHOWERED?? So I’m trying to ignore the fact that’s she’s got wee all over her, then they have sex. AND NORA STILL HASN’T HAD A SHOWER!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Sorry but it really spoilt it for me. No no no no no no no!

I absolutely love the Daddies of the Shadows series, and I'm not sure why I waited so long to read Angel's story—maybe I just wasn't ready to say goodbye to this series?
Angel and Nora's story was beautiful, as Ellie's best friend Nora was instantly a member of the family, but that fact became even more true when she turned to them for help following her now-ex being physically abusive towards her. It was love at first sight for Angel, and despite nerves and fear, Nora soon found herself drawn to him.
As they spent more time together, we learned about both of their dark pasts and unfortunately, they had both had pretty traumatic experiences at the hands of people who were supposed to love them. Kate Oliver did an exceptional job of creating the characters, and the way she explored their bond was gentle and reassuring, and Angel was the perfect Daddy for Nora as he understood her past, having been through similar things.
There is a lot of time spent on exploring and developing Nora's little side in this book, with talk of everything from diapering to play time and a lot of emphasis put on the enjoyment Angel gets from being a Daddy.
With some spicy scenes and a little bit of discipline, it was well-balanced and thoroughly enjoyable. The main focus is on Nora finding her guardian Angel, willing to chase all her nightmares away.
This book spent a lot of time building up Declan's character alongside the storyline, and so I'm looking forward to reading his book.

Kate Oliver's Daddies of the Shadows is one of my all time favorite series and Angel just solidifies it for me.
I always knew that Angel would be the most fierce when he found his Little Girl and I was right.
We first were introduced to Nora in Hawk and my heart breaks for her.
When her mom died, Nora's father treated her like a possession he could use, abuse and terrify. Being extremely shy and for the most part non verbal, due to her abuse, the only person Nora felt connected to was Ellie. When she finally let her guard down, she thought she met the Daddy of her dreams, and let him convince her to move away from her one anchor and turned into the monster from her worst nightmare.
Angel knew from the moment he first heard Nora's voice over the phone that she was his Little and vowed to do anything to love her and keep her from any more harm.
Can Nora learn how to trust again and open her heart to her saving Angel or will her fears and insecurities keep them apart.
You just need to read Angel to find out.
There are triggers in this book so be sure to read the description before you dive in.

The ninth book, and the last brother, although I'm excited to get Dr. Tate as a bonus book 10 for this series!
It's hard to choose, but Angel is definitely one of my favorites for this series. Dark and possessive, yet still managing to be gentle and sweet, especially for a fragile girl who needs tender loving care, he manages to hit all the best Daddy marks.
Nora's trauma made her a well-rounded and relatable character, easy to connect with and root for. I loved watching these two get their happy ending!
Another big strength of this book and this series is the development of a wonderful found family full of love and big-hearted men and their adorable Little girls. Previous main characters come back in fun and meaningful ways, making the whole world feel so rich and vibrant.
The plot was a bit darker, but handled well and not over the top.
My favorite part was watching Angel draw Nora out of her shell. He was so patient with her, finding ways for them to communicate until she felt comfortable, being silly to make her laugh, while at the same time, being determined to give her justice for the ones who hurt her.
If you love this genre, this book will not disappoint. Bring on book 10!!!

Nora calls Ellie letting her know she is coming back to Seattle because Trevor hit her. When Angel hears that, he vows to make Trevor pay. Nora is so shy that she does not talk with anyone when she arrives. Instinctively, she obeys Angel when he tells her something. She turns to him for assurance and permission. The family will not sleep until Trevor is taken care of and Nora is safe. Will that happen?
I enjoyed this story. I love how gentle Angel is with Nora and how she responds to him. I love the level of trust they achieve so they can share their stories with each other. Neither has come up with easy lives. Nora was only looking for a Daddy with Trevor and ignored the red flags. With Angel, she can be in little space whenever she needs or wants to be without having to worry about being judged. When trouble happens, and you know it will, Nora's response is perfect as is her reaction when the trouble is eliminated.
I cannot believe this series is almost over. I only have one more book to go. I am going to miss being part of this family. I look forward to her other series.

Review: Angel.
(Daddies of the Shadows #9)
By: Kate Oliver.
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.
Daddies of the Shadows series holds a special place in my heart, it��s one of my favorite DDLG series of all time. This is a family that protects the vulnerable with everything they’ve got and family is everything.
Angel and Nora just broke my heart! And put it back together. This story was so heartbreakingly beautiful and inspiring. When you read this story I would highly recommend you have tissues on hand. We first meet Nora in Hawke’s story, she is the best friend of Ellie.
Nora ends up fleeing to her best friend for help after being abused by someone who is supposed to love and cherish her. When Angel meets her for the first time all of his Daddy instincts kick in and all he wants to do is to protect her and to show her what a real daddy does.
I loved Angel so much! I will recommend this series and book to anyone. It made me really sad too because daddies of the shadows are almost done! And I’m not ready for it to be over!

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
It only took me nine books, but I found my favorite one of the bunch! Angel had always been clouded in mystery, so I wasn't sure what to think going into his book. But then for him to have one of the most heartbreaking backgrounds of all, paired with Nora's unthinkable trauma...this book got me to tear up a little (and that's hard to do, let alone in a BDSM romance book). The way Angel loved and cared for Nora was unparalleled. Meeting her where she needed to be because of her past while also giving her every reason to open up and trust him was just so beautiful. The last brother finally got his girl and now it's time to figure out what those mafia boys are all about (love me a good Irish man). Maybe then the motorcycle boys will be next...
I'd also say that it seems Kate's writing improved with this one. I'm even already feeling that in Tate's book too. Hopefully that continues into other series!
3.5/5 stars. I have read it, I liked it...might be the only one so far that I'd consider reading again.

Angel finally gets his HEA with Nora! This story choked me up at times, especially when they tell each other about their background story. Heartbreaking for both of them. Kate Oliver did a wonderful job in the details of what happened to both of them without getting really graphic so the readers can understand why they are this way. Nora just burrowed her way into my heart. She was so scared and Angel was so gentle and caring with her. These two definitely belonged together. And when danger comes in the form of her ex, Angel and his brothers go the distance to take care of that for her. I just love how ALL the brothers take care of ALL the women. As of now, Angel is my favorite in this series but I know we have Tate coming soon. Can't wait to see him finally get his HEA he deserves so much. This is such a wonderful story and I can't recommend this highly enough. Once you start reading this series, you can't stop!!!

“Little one, if it is the last thing I do on this earth, I will make the bastard who hurt you pay dearly. No one will ever hurt you like that again. That is a promise.”
I was so excited for Angel’s story and it didn’t disappoint! He has a dark past but has a loving supportive adopted family (they are all amazing) and has worked through some of the darkness then he meets Nora.
Nora has had a dark past as well and is running from an abusive relationship. Her best friend Ellie is in a relationship with Angel’s brother Hawk and they take her in. Nora becomes Angel’s light.
I loved this story and seeing them both grow and how he protects her (this whole family is like that, they protect each other). My heart melted a few times!
If you like over protective Daddy Doms and their sometimes naughty Littles, a fantastic supportive family with a story and really sexy steamy scenes then this is for you!

excellent story! We’ve been a waiting for Angel, and he did not disappoint!
Angel and Nora’s story deals with a lot of dark matter, both of them suffered terribly while waiting to find each other. It instalove, but for Nora, trust takes a little longer. Watching her find her feet in the family was a treat. I can’t wait to watch how she grows in the future.
Angel’s story was heartbreaking. We knew it was going to be tough, but sometimes I wonder how the author sleep at night after emotion the emotional trial of recounting the lives these guys have had to go through… it can’t be easy, thank you, Kate.
As hard as Angels story was, Nora’s rose to match it. As women we’ve almost all known other women who suffered from abuse, other girls, who showed up at school looking lost. Kate did a fantastic job of capturing that dynamic.

Angel's story is one of the darker ones from the Daddies of the Shadows series, but Kate handled each possible trigger this story might contain with a loving, concerning, caring tone. So gently both Angel and Nora open up with each other, helping soothe all of the wounds and trauma from their pasts. Their story is a real testimony of how healing love and support truly are. As with all the Daddies of the series, each Daddy and Little pair provide such support and care to each other. The family support they all share with each other is endearing to this reader. Make certain you have tissues readily at had as Angel and Nora reach out to all the parts of your heart. Well done, Kate Oliver.

Every time I read a story in this series, I fall in love with the characters. I just can’t help myself! This story is about Angel and Nora, and my heart melted throughout. Nora has had a hard life and had been in an abusive relationship. So when Angel meets her, he just knows she is the Little Girl for him and feels a deep need to protect her. Nora is very shy, but so sweet, and is instantly attracted to Angel. This book takes you on their journey into a relationship and it’s one I never wanted to end. Angel will protect her with his life and when someone threatens her, he will stop at nothing to help her. These two are so endearing and loving yet protective and that’s why I enjoyed this book so much. This entire series is incredible and I can’t wait for the next one!

Good read!
Really good read, I really enjoyed it and didn't want it to end. I'm wondering if in the future they have children or not and how long it is till they get married. And then how that whole thing changes their relationship, I find it curious in that sense. Both Angel and Nora are amazing characters. All of them are amazing characters. The style of writing is something I'm not used to. It was more of like a third-person diary entry style. Where I am more used to a first-person diary entry style. I have not read any other books in the series as of yet. However, I am thinking I will. I would like to know the others' backgrounds and stories. It is a standalone within the series, and I highly recommend reading it.

Oh Angel! The one we've all been waiting for. He is the last of the brothers to find his Little but when he sees Nora, he knows that she is his even if she doesn't know it yet or able to accept it. She is escaping an abusive past and runs right the only friend she has left, Ellie. Nora's past is dark and made her extremely afraid and shy to be who she is. Angel is patient, protective, and craves complete control. Struggling with his own demons, he is able to finally open up and share his past. This was a great ending to the series for the brothers.

So sad to see the end of the brothers
What an emotional read. This book was about Angel, who we finally learned his devastating story, don't want to give spoilers, but get tissues ready for this one. Nora, who is Ellies' best friend, is found to be in an ab@sive relationship and is in desperate need of help and a daddy who will love her and care for her. She is so shy, which is such a tragic reason why she has a hard time talking. Let me say another win for Kate Oliver. Tissues needed, though. Can't wait for tate, and they are going to the ranch in July's book for the rawhide Ranch series.

It's almost over :( all the guys have their littles!
Angel, what a dream. Dark inside and out, Angel is the last of the brothers to find his little. Nora, Ellie's bff comes back to town to escape her abusive ex. They meet and Angel knows immediatey that he's found the one. I know that there is one more book left but I feel like this is the end because Angel was the final brother to find his little. This series has been so wonderful and I can't wait to read all about Dr. Tate (I have a thing for Dr's LOL.) Then it's off to the other books. Hopefully Kate keeps writing, because I'd be heartbroken if I read all her books and had no more left!

loved how he was not like his other brothers "she does not deserve me .but I am selfish " he was like "she deserve better man ,and I will become a better man " loved thier story and how he time with her and was there .even though i would say she fall fast for my liking but nice love the family vibe and even the ex story was nicely executed And my man avenge her .

Angel is the last of the brothers in the Daddies of the Shadows series. He has been a mysterious character throughout the series and I am so glad to finally get his story! His and Nora's stories are a bit darker and do have some possible triggers so please mind the warnings. While they might be sensitive subjects, Kate handled them with a perfect approach. I loved the way that they came together and how they were able to help each other and build an amazing relationship with the help and support of his family. While I am sad to see this series end I have enjoyed it!

OMGGGGG FINALLY ANGELS TIME
Honestly this book might be my new favorite and I loved Wolfs book!!! ANGEL IS SO PERFECT!! He was strong and protective but ultimately sooooo sweet!! Nora is a great FMC!! I loved her so much and wanted to be her friend!! Her shyness was so relatable and I just loved everything about this book and her!!
The plot was great and the small amount of suspense was perfect!! Even at 85% there was a scene I did not expect to happen!!! Overall a typical PERFECT Kate Oliver book!!! Can’t wait to read more!!!
5/5🔥🌟
