Angel's Devotion

Excellent fallen angel PNR romance

This is book 3 in the Elemental Angels series, but it can be read as a standalone (which I did). The series contains interconnected characters and book 3 does take place after the events in books 1 and 2 but each book in the series focuses on a different relationship pair.
It is not part of kindle unlimited as of the release date (June 6, 2023). The book is a pretty short read at only 290 pages (paperback edition).
I received a digital ARC copy of this book and everything stated is my honest review and opinions.

Bridget hasn't left her house in 4 years... but when a fallen angel lands on her back deck she ignores all her fears and anxiety to help him. Steel fell eons ago, but he's spent the last few years secretly watching over Bridget. Will their secrets keep them apart, or will they be able to save each other?

First Impressions: The book isn't my style of cover because I prefer discreet covers and I don't think the cover fits how I pictured Steel. The blurb is good and is a good synopsis of the book and intriguing to entice readers.

Summary: 4 years ago, Bridget had an incident that has left her with extreme agoraphobia. In fact, in the last 4 years she has only left her house to visit her brothers house or to visit his boyfriend's Taekwondo studio (but only when it's closed). When Steel, a fallen angel, crashes in her backyard, unconscious and injured with large metal wings protruding from his shoulders, Bridget's curiosity about this stranger outweighs her anxiety. While Bridget may be meeting Steel for the first time, he's already known about her and he has been keeping her a secret from his 6 brothers.

Genre: This is a paranormal romance (PNR) with fallen angels. The last 2 books I read were in a series about fallen angels as well. This specific subgenre is very new to me and I think I may be hooked. I was so excited to read another fallen angel story and this book did not disappoint. I need to go back and read the first 2 books in this series and I look forward to reading the rest of the series as well.

Tropes:
-Soulmates
-Fated mates
-Forced proximity
-Fallen angels
-Found family
-Protective hero
-He falls first

Spice level: The book is NOT fade to black but I also did not find it very spicy or explicit for my tastes. The "spicy" scenes were well written and enjoyable.

Characters: The main characters of the book are Bridget and Steel. Both characters have their secrets and motives for their actions. While I may be annoyed at their actions sometimes, they are believable and make for a good plot line. This book is a dual POV written in 3rd person. Normally this style really isn't my favorite (I prefer 1st person) but Robinson did really good with the details and the characters thoughts in 3rd person. She also does an excellent job at knowing the perfect moments to switch between Bridget's and Steel's POVs. Overall this book exceeded my expectations for a 3rd person dual POV romance.

Representation: 🏳️‍🌈 This is some LGBTQ+ representation with side characters. 🏳️‍🌈

Plot and theme - The book is a romance between the 2 main characters and there is good conflict, romance, and resolution between them. Their romantic story closes nicely at the end of the book, but that's not all there is. This books also ties into conflict that starts in the previous books of the series and I can assume this will continue through the next books in the series. It is a very good way of keeping the series connected even if each book focuses on different main characters. If you are reading only for romance, this can be read as a standalone or before the previous books in the series but if you would like to read all the romances in chronological order and also have more plot then you should start with book 1.
I was able to finish the entire book within 24 hours which is always a positive sign to me that the story was addicting. While fallen angels may be new to me, the plot did feel unique with the "typical" romance you would expect in a book like this.

Pacing: The romance is fast paced in time passed for the characters, but slightly slow burn as things don't pick up until a good ways into the book. The plot is very well paced throughout the entire book. Robinson has mastered the timing of building a romance, conflict, and resolution.

Something I feel is important to mention, especially with indie authors' books is that there are little to no errors throughout the book. Honestly, with the amount of books I've read, especially recently, with lots of grammatical errors, it is such a relief when I get to read a well edited book.

I would definitely recommend this book to other readers who like fantasy romance, paranormal romance, or who know they like or would want to read books with fallen angels. Angel's Devotion left me with lots of warm and fuzzy romance feelings and my heart happy, while also wanting to know more about the other characters and wanting to jump into reading more of the series.
