<blockquote> "Worried you'll get lost?" "I've been lost all my life ... " "Not lost ... Just undiscovered." </blockquote> Even if you don't believe in an afterlife or heaven and hell, think about this: If you died tomorrow, would you be proud of how you've lived? Do your good deeds outweigh the bad? Are you selfish? Do you lie? Have you ever truly loved and been loved in return? In that shadowed corner of your heart where secrets hide, how do you judge yourself? Aden has had a hard-knock life. Raised by abusive, neglectful parents, he's learned to survive by putting himself first. Aden isn't honest. If he wants your jacket, he'll take it. If he sees a pretty boy he wants to fuck, he does. <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1462901922i/19058389.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> Aden is at a concert in London when his world comes to an end. He doesn't believe it at first, but he can't deny the wings, one black, one white, and the agony when they grow and are later ripped from his body. Aden doesn't belong in hell, not quite, but he doesn't belong in heaven either. As Raphael and Dante fight over his soul, Aden is given another chance, or rather seven chances: ONE month, SEVEN tries, to resist temptation and find love. <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1462901922ra/19058390.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> Brody is a successful veterinarian, but his heart is shattered and bruised. Brody saves the animals in his care, but he can't save himself. Driving home late one night, Brody hits and kills Aden with his car. Except Aden is already dead. Brody is as fucked up as Aden. He's been in a twisted, abusive, on-again/off-again relationship for half his life. His ex, Matt, is older and stronger; he manipulates Brody, stalks him, controls him. Matt's love is a sick obsession, and Aden is convinced he has to stop Matt before he kills Brody. This is a dark, angsty book. There's on and off-page violence, as well as physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, including the sexual abuse of a child. Even though there are no warning tags, I was prepared for the pain because this is Barbara Elsborg, and she makes her MCs claw and fight for their HEA. The men's passion burns so brightly, it hurts, but Aden doesn't believe in himself and Brody doesn't trust that Aden won't leave. Aden can't tell Brody the truth, not yet, maybe never. Because who'd believe a Dirty Angel come back from the dead? <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1462901922ra/19058391.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> Amidst the darkness, there is this: Aden's relationship with Captain, Brody's horse, and his insistence on saving the last stray sheep ("I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me"); racing on the beach; triple-cooked chips; two children, saved. Dirty Angel is intense and brutal and SEXY. It's a wicked fantasy of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong. It feels real because it IS real. Even if there's no judgement day, there's LIFE, the here and now, and we're obliged to make the best of it. <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1462902036i/19058395.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> When I found out how Aden died (the first time), I cried. I can guarantee your heart won't come out unscathed. But despite the suffering, it's worth it. Love always is. <blockquote> "You're going to fall ... Why bother trying not to?" "Because I might fly." </blockquote>

I usually am not one to post about trigger warnings, but with this book it needs mentioning. I'll spoiler tag it for those who like to be surprised by these things. <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler. Toggle checkbox to reveal or hide." onchange="this.labels[0].setAttribute('aria-hidden', !this.checked);" id="2857ee11-cec4-43bf-ac24-32690d40f9a2" /><label aria-hidden="true" class="spoiler" for="2857ee11-cec4-43bf-ac24-32690d40f9a2"> This book contains scenes of a rape, statutory rape, physical violence, incest, and explicit references to sexual abuse of a child younger than ten. </label> I usually find one or more of those aforementioned trigger warnings to be a hard limit for me with reading, but I decided to read on because I love, LOVE <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/2856948.Barbara_Elsborg" title="Barbara Elsborg" rel="noopener">Barbara Elsborg</a>. I think very few authors do witty dialogue like <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/2856948.Barbara_Elsborg" title="Barbara Elsborg" rel="noopener">Barbara Elsborg</a>, and though this book wasn't quite as funny as some others by her, the dialogue still had that signature snappy wit about it. I really adore that about her stuff, and it is part of the reason that I keep reading everything that she puts out. I usually am pretty good with angst, but this book was angsty. It really was a heartbreaking read at times, with MCs Aden and Brody both having such devastating histories. Both men have been abused and mistreated, and the internal and external scars that they carry are extensive. I was really in awe of how the author really made me believe the love story, without a "magic dick" solution to all of their pain and trauma. Aden and Brody had so much baggage between them that it could fill a jumbo jet. However, <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/2856948.Barbara_Elsborg" title="Barbara Elsborg" rel="noopener">Barbara Elsborg</a> didn't dwell on it in a way that made it impossible for the book to have lightness. There was lots of darkness, to be sure, but there was also some humor and happiness there. Aden was returned to earth after death to make a turnaround in his behavior and beliefs to save his soul. The paranormal aspect of the story was intriguing, but it wasn't the most important part of the plot. Sure, the whole premise has to do with Aden being a "dirty angel" and the powers-that-be trying to figure out if he should go to heaven or hell, but the powerful parts of the story had to do with Aden and Brody and their relationship. That was the whole bread and butter, and what I think was the most successful part of the story. I loved the chemistry between Aden and Brody, and I really understood them as a couple. I liked how the author took her time developing the trust between them, which really fit with their characters. I wasn't super into the whole sexual tension with Brody and his boss, but that was a side note and not really important to the story. I'm actually kind of hoping that we see more from the boss in the future- maybe a whole town full of angels getting their redemption?? I really liked this story, which is impressive because it was a tough read for me (see trigger warnings). I think viewers expecting an emotional, well-written, intense read will be very happy with this one. **Copy provided in exchange for an honest review**

It was hard to read at times, because this book contains several triggers, like (sexual) abuse and rape. It was also heartwarming, sweet, funny and sexy :) One minute, Aden is at a concert, fucking some pretty boy in the bathroom and the next, he's standing in front of an angel and a demon, being told that he's dead. The being dead part however isn't even the hard part. It's the fact that they can't seem to agree weather Aden belongs in heaven or hell. Aden is bad, but there is also good in him. Aden has had a very hard time growing up and when I say hard, I mean "horrible". He lived with his abusive parents and when they died he went into the system, when he was 10 years old, where more people continued to fuck with him. This has led Aden to grow up the way he is. He could have made better choices in his life...but he didn't. The fact that he now has two wings growing out of his back, one black and one white, says enough. <a href="http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Wendy_Ciliacus/media/4b7f3131678fba70775bd90171c9cb83_zpsgrby3y3w.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464624443i/19257553.jpg" alt=" photo 4b7f3131678fba70775bd90171c9cb83_zpsgrby3y3w.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> Dante (the fallen angel) wants Aden to join him in hell. He thinks Aden is a liar, a thief, an all around fuck up and fuck around badboy, which he is. Raphael (white angel) however, thinks Aden has a lot of good in him and he has some proof of this in his file (he is also right). Since they can't agree and since Aden has two different wings, there is only one way to settle this. Aden is send back to earth to try to be a good person and to find out the meaning of love and make someone love him. He will only have the clothes on his back and everything he does will be registered. So no lying and stealing....He has one month to prove, he belongs in heaven and within this month, he will have 7 chances (lives). Time is ticking...tick tock... <a href="http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Wendy_Ciliacus/media/hell_or_heaven__by_yongl-d4lkj73_zpsoddwl34f.png.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464624443i/19257554._SX540_.png" alt=" photo hell_or_heaven__by_yongl-d4lkj73_zpsoddwl34f.png" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> He ends up being run over by Brody on his first day. Brody is a veterinarian, who has his own fucked up past to deal with. He has been in a very unhealthy relationship since he was 14 years old, with his chemistry teacher, who's also married with kids. Their relationship has always been quite volatile. Their last encounter almost cost Brody his life. He wants to get away from his ex, but he doesn't know how to stop himself from wanting to be hurt. Brody was pretty messed up in the head. <a href="http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Wendy_Ciliacus/media/f0587675973f626400b0f8d63d1f87e5_zpscnqnxcte.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464624443i/19257555.jpg" alt=" photo f0587675973f626400b0f8d63d1f87e5_zpscnqnxcte.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> Aden ends up staying at the ranch were Brody and his borther live and for the first time in his life, he's starting to actually care about another person more than he does about himself. But will a month be enough and does he actually want Brody to love him, when he knows he will only have to leave him behind... I loved this book. It had everything I look for in a good book. There were parts that made me cry, made me laugh and made me hot. Aden was an awesome character. I loved him from beginning to end, I wish I could have an Aden for my own !! It took me a bit longer to warm up to Brody, because I just couldn't believe someone could be that stupid...than again, love makes you blind right... I really hope there will be more books like this, because for me this was perfect. 5 stars from me !! <a href="http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Wendy_Ciliacus/media/b371d44e70b91eb0ce6bc92a6c4d221c_zpsrvdqi6ft.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464624443i/19257556._SY540_.jpg" alt=" photo b371d44e70b91eb0ce6bc92a6c4d221c_zpsrvdqi6ft.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a>

Barbara Elsborg never disappoints you. And yes, she did it again! I loved this book, absolutely, amazingly, endlessly, thoroughly loved it. There was just so much pain and then consequent sweetness to make us forget that pain, the two things that I love to read in my romances. The tug of war between being good and bad is something that most of us suffer through. There is so much hate and evil in the world, and we end up in situations where we need to decide whether to be the bigger person and ignore or give it tit for tat. But even if we make someone pay for the wrongs against us, our decisions pile up in our own karma list. The fight Aden went through to curb his extreme reactions and to become good, to get a chance at a life with Brody, to be able to feel the love he felt for Brody for more time, it just tugged at my heartstrings until my heart just gave way to him. Aden’s unconscious good deeds, Brody’s slow and steady softening towards Aden and what he envisioned for them both in the future, Dante’s and Raphael’s interferences, Matt’s poisonous role, Des’ supportive role, everything had a place and a time, and everything contributed towards making this story a memorable one. A valuable addition to my favourite books. ❤️

4.25 Hearts I'm not sure if Elsborg is some sort of precog or what, but I do know this was written and released pre-Orlando, but reading it post-Orlando inspired some existential feels. When did terrorist attacks become accepted as a part of the fabric of our existence? When did they become a plausible happenstance when leaving our homes? Back in the day the number one fear of going out was not getting picked up by the popo on the way home from the club not whether or not you'd make it home ALIVE. Aden goes out for an innocent night of fun and never gets to go home again. Instead he finds himself in a weird place with lots of ether about to stand judgment for his life. At first he thinks he's dreaming and can't wake up, but the fact that he can't remember going to sleep is troubling. Naturally, this got me thinking about those 49 people who maybe found themselves in a similar situation. Needless to say I had some... moments but the level of romance Elsborg injected into Dirty Angel balanced out a lot of them. I found the experience soothing to an extent in the wake of yet another avoidable tragedy. <div> <a href="https://67.media.tumblr.com/901f725c6fc1336c97432d47cd852114/tumblr_nn438aNYrz1tqrfgyo1_500.gif" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1464557014ra/19251005.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> </div> Aden is given a second chance-one month to prove himself worthy of Heaven, to find out the meaning of love which will decide his fate. Heaven or Hell. He has the power to impact how his eternity will be spent. No money. No lying. No friends. No phone. No going home. Seven chances at redemption. <div> <a href="http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000NGY5XGnsPqI/fit=1000x750/male-angel-praying-outdoors.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1467343812i/19581486._SX540_.jpg" height="432" width="640" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> </div> Aden's truly not a bad person. He's been dealt a shit hand that has colored his worldview. He doesn't allow himself to get close to other people because they've repeatedly disappointed him. He has a tendency to be opportunistic and has used people, but he's far from diabolical. <div> </div> <blockquote> "I've been lost all my life," Aden replied quietly. </blockquote> <blockquote> "Not lost," Brody squeezed his fingers. "Just undiscovered." </blockquote> <div> Brody and Aden meet almost immediately when Brody hits him with his car. Aden takes off for fear of having to explain things to the police/EMTs and is discovered camped out in Brody's horse's stall the next morning. I really loved that horse. Captain is fussy, kind of intimidating and highly intuitive. That horse is a keeper. Brody's a veterinarian who's trying to keep a low profile due to a past abusive/obsessive relationship, so he's moved to the country to live on the family farm. Brody has also developed a rather unhealthy addiction to anonymous sex which has gotten out of hand. Both men have pasts that have shaped them and continue to affect them in many ways and both must battle their pasts to a certain extent to gain what they want most. <div> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a9/3f/9c/a93f9c91421571591b8409c944a1ebb7.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener"><img height="490" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1467688320i/19618014._SX540_.jpg" width="640" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"></a> </div> <blockquote> "They prefer to swim in pairs with their tales linked. Sounds like fun, linking tails." </blockquote> Elsborg is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I appreciate that she doesn't sugarcoat life. Her characters usually have to contend with awful childhoods or tragedies or what have you, be able to come to grips with that before getting to the HEA which I find makes the reading experience more rewarding. Second, DAMN! can she bring the romance and the heat. This was swoony-I'm-gonna-pass-out romance. Sooooo much kissing and wanting and desire and sexiness. <div> <a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbkel3fmJS1rbgwi1o2_r2_500.gif" rel="nofollow noopener"><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1436881209ra/15514113.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"></a> </div> Also, I liked getting my learn on with all the miscellaneous animal knowledge. The psycho ex-boyfriend storyline is predictable and the pieces fall together quickly, but that's not the focus of this book. Dirty Angel is about two men who have been knocked around in life figuring out if they're right for each other and trying to figure out how to get the love thing right. Or at least right enough to be with each other and make the most out of a second chance. If you're looking for a romance that'll put a smile on your face and a swoon in your step, give this a try.

J Too Many Books Too Little Time

May 06 2016

3.75 Stars! I'm a big Barbara Elsborg fan. Big. Huge. I even read her MF stuff. And I don't read much paranormal, but I read hers. This was definitely paranormal light. Most of the time it didn't even feel paranormal. And I really liked the books take on angels/demons. But, this book took me forever to read. It was long, for sure. And the pacing was really slow, though it picked up some in the last 30-40%. Coupled with the heaviness of both MCs pasts I found myself not as engrossed. I wasn't just dying to pick it up. I hated Matt. <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1465237945ra/19329136.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> And the way Brody defended him.....UGH! <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1448910994ra/17205366.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.

Would Aden end up in heaven or hell? Would Aden and Brody fall in love? How did Aden die in the first place? What would happen at the end of their month together? Could they somehow be together? Bottomline, the message was good. The writing on par. The humor managed to lighten things up a bit. And as always Barbara Elsborg can deliver with the steam.

DNF @ 40% I wish it was more relationship-focused but alas we don’t get what we want always. The pace was so so slow for my taste. Considering all the good reviews, so it’s me and not the book. Hope you like it more than me!

When I started Dirty Angel, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Even though I love this type of story, neither MC was particularly likable. Aden came off as selfish and uncaring of anyone else, and Brody seemed rather whiny and pathetic - so I was concerned. I needn't have worried, though, I liked them both, soon enough. The story was such a neat concept -- a young man has died, unexpectedly, and when it comes time for Judgement...things aren't so clear. Should he be Heaven bound? Hell bound? Hmmm...Seems our Aden is a bit of a bad boy...with a dash or two of good thrown in there for good measure. But what you see can sometimes be deceiving. Aden has spent his life - his entire life - just trying to survive. No one else cared about him, so he he did what he had to in order to survive. Coming into adulthood, those learned responses were all he had, so he continued using them, all the while, not letting himself get too attached to anyone or really even care about anyone. Brody is a successful young veterinarian in hiding from an ex (Matt) who does not seem to know the meaning of "no" or "stop". Matt is not a good guy, at all. He began a relationship with Brody when Brody was only 14 -- Matt was one of Brody's teachers. Yeah... But Brody has the classic victim mentality where he blames himself for Matt's actions and also believes that Matt loves him. And because of Matt's grooming, Brody believes that violent sex is what he deserves, no matter if he wants it or not, so he is on a self destructive path that is bound to put him in hospital - or worse - if he keeps on. So, Dirty Angel is not just about Aden realizing he can be better and then becoming a better man, but also Brody realizing he deserves better than what he has been given and striving for that better. Through the machinations of Raphael and Dante, the Angel and Demon in charge of Aden's fate, Aden collides with Brody...or the other way around. And from there, their fates are intertwined. There was one thing that really bugged me, though -- I wasn't fond of the insinuation that non-believers are either morally bankrupt (Aden) or so emotionally messed up that they will let anyone abuse them (Brody). I'm going to assume and hope that this isn't what the author really intended. The story, as a whole, is about learning how to be a better person and figuring out how to be happy, and that's certainly a good message. And since the whole framework is a heaven and hell thing, ok, I'll forgive it. Mostly. I do think that Barbara Elsborg excels at fantasy heaven/hell stories and this one is a fantastic addition to her lineup! And for those that are wondering, Dirty Angel is not a part of the Unnamed London PNR series. Dirty Angel completely stands alone. ----- ARC of Dirty Angel generously provided by the author, in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars!!! Yea, I loved it. I was a little nervous to read this one, afraid it was going to be too dark for me, but I ended up losing myself in the story. Aden North is confused. He was at a club, now he is waiting in line to find out if he will end up in Heaven or Hell. Is he dead? He doesn’t remember anything. When it is his turn to learn his fate, Aden and the two Angels (Dante and Raphael) discover he grows one black wing and one white wing, meaning he has both good and bad in him. Dante wants him in Hell, Raphael thinks he deserves Heaven. So he is released back to earth for 30 days to redeem himself and become a better person. After the 30 days, it will be decided, Heaven or Hell. <blockquote> Hard to be good when he was so used to being bad. Hard to be a giver when he was accustomed to being a taker. Hard to care when he never had. Hard to move the protective shield away from his heart. Was he capable of changing? </blockquote> Aden had a horrific childhood. Neglected and abused by his parents, he honestly did what he had to do to survive. He grew accustomed to living on his instincts, not learning right from wrong, just survival. Brody recently moved back to the family farm and is working as a veterinarian. He is hiding from his very abusive ex who will not let him go. Brody is broken and doesn’t understand the turmoil he is feeling. When he meets Aden, they both have strange feelings for each other. Feelings neither of them understand. Can Aden start anything if he only has 30 days? <a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/user/MsDizz84/media/book%20reviews/Dirty%20Angel%201_zpsmusrhpzs.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1469194318i/19791251._SX540_.jpg" alt=" photo Dirty Angel 1_zpsmusrhpzs.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> The only problem I had with this book was the fact it was told in a 3rd person POV. It annoyed me in the beginning, but I got used to it and started liking how we knew what each person was thinking and feeling. Like I said, I loved it and would highly recommend it.
