Review of Rosamanti by Night Owl Romance http://www.nightowlreviews.com/v5/Reviews/Paulinemichael-reviews-Rosamanti-by-Noelle-ClarkRosamanti
Noelle Clark takes readers on a brilliant escape to Capri with this lovely contemporary story. I would have liked to read an excerpt from her mystery novel as it sounded like it would be a delightful story. Sarah is a strong, multi-layered heroine and I enjoyed watching her meeting the new person she was becoming. Pietro is the epitome of a gorgeous Italian and to me I sometimes thought he was a little too good to be true I honestly kept expecting him to surprise me. I wonder if this says more about me than the book but with the romantic suspense tag I kept waiting for the unexpected. This was more a story of self-discovery than a romantic suspense but it was enjoyable none the less. I enjoyed the supporting characters and the gorgeous descriptions. This was a very budget-friendly way to visit one of the world's most beautiful destinations. I had no trouble feeling as if I too were cutting across the water to discover a hidden treasure or winding up a precarious road to reach my future.
Best selling mystery author Sarah Halliman is looking to relight her creative spark and she doesn't know how until she comes a newspaper ad to lease an
isolated villa on Capri. Hoping Italy will restore her joy of life she is surprised to find herself a new love and a great mystery involving history and
buried treasure. But will the past ruin her bright new future?

Review by Susan D. Taylor - Let Angels Fly: Enthralling love story
When life seems to take a sudden turn in Abbie's life, it will take faith and an open heart to see her through. She leaves her teaching post traveling to Cambodia and a position in an orphanage. In Let Angels Fly set in an exotic location takes the reader into a story that is more than love and melodrama.
Action and intrigue, friendship and heart throbbing moments complete the heroine's need to find her footing.
Throughout this story, there were countless examples of colorful glorious writing, filling the pages and my imagination of the lush Cambodian places Abbie visited.
"She took a sip of the sweet, cool coconut juice, and looked around her, seeing a gloriously inviting swimming pool, shimmering bright blue in the sunlight. Around the pool, pots of amazing tropical plants and clumps of palms, banana and pawpaw trees created a picture of tropical paradise, their leaves casting shade over part of the water. Abbie felt as though she had arrived in heaven." Let Angels Fly
Abbie is simultaneously on several missions (intellectually, psychologically, and even physically at times) when she meets and gets to know
Craig. He is far different type of man, one who can help her on her journey. One who doesn't give up what he feels easily. A mystery.
Sometimes, when people are freed from old cubbies, freed from expectations, they are free to becomesomeone new. And that is key for this heroine's path.
But this isn't just a love story, for things do get dark in paradise when Abbie is a witness to a crime. Basically she held against her will, with no one to turn to, until she finds Craig has not deserted her. He actually arrives and is able to free her even though he is seriously injured. In turn they perhaps learn to trust each other for neither perishes but I can't very well spoil the fun. Safe to say medical care is critically required and obtained.
This is the type of story that reminds us that life holds many surprises, some coming at us when least expected. This isn't a fast food version of life, but one told with lyrical sweetness, petal by petal unfolding. There are numerous messages to enjoy such as if we are willing to take a chance, life may be imperfectly perfect and positioned to let us leapt.

Review by Louise Forster - Let Angels Fly: True love the second time around
Take a flight to Cambodia and see the sights of Sien Read. The smells, the exotic market places, the temples, but most importantly, for this reader anyway, the people come to life in Let Angels Fly. Ms Clark writes a vivid picture, which makes you feel part of Abbie's journey. There's intrigue, mystery and problems that need sorting. The characters remain true to
themselves and draw you further into the story.
The romance between Abbie and Craig is just divine.

Review by Sabrina Devonshire - Let Angels Fly: romance, exotic adventure,
intrigue
When her husband leaves her for another woman, Abbie packs her bags and leaves Australia to teach at an orphanage in Cambodia and finds love again with Craig, who tragically lost his wife. The romance is set in a backdrop of an exotic and intriguing country and becomes suspenseful when Abbie encounters tomb
raiders while visiting some historical sites. Romance, exotic adventure, intrigue - I highly recommend this light and entertaining read.

Dragonballs3 said: True chicken soup for the soul! I've just finished the wonderful, "Let Angels Fly," At $5.99 it's a bargain! With suspense, romance, mystery and a belief in second chances; it was true chicken soup for the soul.
Terry Faith said: Don't let the Romance tag turn you off. This is a good suspense story, set in a most unusual location - happily I have been to Cambodia myself. The author re-created it well, especially describing the local people. I felt like I'd traveled there again.
Kendall Talbot said: Cambodia has always been on my list of places I wanted to visit. But now after reading about the amazing
temples in Noelle's book I simple have to go there. Right from the first page I was engrossed in the story. With a mixture of suspense, history, unique scenery and romance this book is a must read. I loved it and can't wait for Noelle's next book. 4 star review.
