Fallen Angels by Marty Rayne

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Adam is an undercover agent in a group of hi-tech criminals, the Fallen Angels. The group is only a little piece of a great organization, involved in drug dealings and assassins, lead by a man known as Lucifer. Actually the Fallen Angels are almost an "innocent" group, made up of men from different origins, but with one thing in common: they don't have a family and their family has become the group.

The leader of the group is Marc, known as Mammon: he has a thing for Adam and he is highly displeased when his boss, Lucifer, wants to see the guy. Lucifer loves pretty boy, and Adam is quite his type, auburn hair and boyish look. But before handing him off to Lucifer, Marc wants to taste the pretty boy; pity that he soon discovers that the man is not who he pretends to be.

Adam is quite naivee to be an undercover agent: he falls for his main suspect, the only man who can lead him to Lucifer. Actually I don't think that Adam is a very good agent, he is too sentimental and open, he has not the cold blood he should have for the job. And also Marc, even if a bit too tough, all in all is a too good guy to be the villain of the story.

The romance in the story is good, almost sweet for a book with a suspence plot. The suspence part is easy and enjoyable, not very "manly": this is obviously a book which will please to a female audience, that to guns and fight, prefer kisses and cuddle.

Probably the author is thinking to write more on this group, since she decipts in details all the components, giving them interesting backgrounds and attractive looks.
