Reviewed by: JenBook purchased by ReviewerReview originally purchased at Romancing the BookReview: After having read The Devil in Disguise, I was torn if I wanted to continue on with this series. I was partially let down with Devil, but I reminded myself that it was Ms Sloane’s debut and things could get better. So, I picked up The Angel in My Arms and started reading.From page one, I was drawn more into this story than I was before, which was a huge relief for me. We met our hero Marcus in the first book and now he’s on his way home to his country estate to recuperate after being shot in the line of duty. And of course, since he’s a spy, he’s not just going to laze about. He’s been given the task to look into a possible smuggling ring. But it’s not going to be an easy task, since even though he grew up in the area, the locals never forgave his Scottish father from coming in and “stealing” their beloved daughter, so Marcus is bad blood.On the other hand, Sarah is from a local gentry family and is well loved in the area. And from her introduction, the reader knows Sarah knows more than she lets on about the smuggling in the area and I know I was interested to see how these two were going to deal with each other. Sarah’s a strong female, but totally gets in over her head and Marcus is there waiting to be her knight in shining armor.I found The Angel in My Arms to be a much more satisfying read. Many of the problems that plagued Devil seemed to be corrected in this story. No more editing mishaps, odd scene cuts, lackluster romance or abrupt endings. I enjoyed the romance between Marcus and Sarah and the smuggling plot line had me turning the pages, waiting to see what was going to happen next. And in the end, I finished the book happy with the time spent reading. I received the book as a present from Stefanie Sloane and I want to thank her for those three great books.The second book in Regency Rogues series contains more action, suspense and mystery than its predecessor, The Devil in Disguise. It's an easy to read and rather captivating story. Smart and often funny, the book combines intrigue, suspense, and romance that make one keep turn the pages until the end of the story. All the characters are written so good, with their own life stories, that one either loves them, dislikes them or detests them (just as the writer intended for us to feel!)
What do You think about The Angel In My Arms (2011)?
Had me laughing out loud, just like the first one. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Romance really just might not be my genre.
