I’ve been fighting my own demons for most of my life. The alcohol seems to numb the pain, but it never makes the nightmares go away. All I want in life is a little peace. When I met my angel it felt like I found it, but there is so much standing between us. Why does she have to be so young…?
The Demon’s Angel…
Meeting Drake was the best thing to ever happen to me. I found my friend, my soul mate. But he lets my age stand between us. There is something that haunts him, and I selfishly want to be the one that helps him conquer his ghosts. If he would just let me in, let me closer, I think I could help him…
4.5 Star Review
Demon’s Wings band members
consists of Nik (he and Emmie’s story was The Rocker that Holds Me, Jesse (he
romanced the love of his life in The Rocker That Savors Me) and that leaves
brothers Drake and Shane. Shane keeps
his own nightmares at bay with a continual parade of women, orgies and sex
clubs. His story will be the focus of the next installment. Drake is a tortured
soul, who has demons of his own he battles. Totally smitten with Layla’s
sister, Lana, he has found the one thing that brings peace to his life. There
is a wide gap in age, Drake is in his early thirties and Lana has only recently
turned 18 and graduated from high school. She is wise beyond her years, and
learned first hand how easily rockers hook up and dump women. Her mother’s
relationships with rock stars resulted in both her birth and her sister
Layla’s. Although she wishes Drake would think of her as something more than a
little sister, she doubts there can ever be anything more.
Though the two are close,
Drake’s best friend is a bottle of Jack Daniels. He may have cut down on his
drinking, but he still reaches for it when stressed or in need of an outlet to
find sleep. His feelings for Lana are far from sisterly, but he knows she is
young and has her whole life ahead of her. He thinks he is tainted (courtesy of
the secrets of his past) and he knows she is worthy of so much more than what
he can offer her.
“Is it all you hoped for? All
you ever wanted?” “No. It isn’t all I ever wanted. After the first year or so,
I was already burned out. I want more from life than rock-and-roll. I love
making music. I love the thrill of playing for a crowd. But I hate the life
that comes with it.”
Lines are crossed, lives are
changed and feelings bubble to the surface. Drake makes a stupid mistake, how I
wanted to smack him up the side of his head! Lana alters her plans for college
(and proceeds to awaken the protective beast in Jesse) and puts thousands of
miles between her and Drake.
“Can you forgive me, Angel?”
Can you forgive me for what I did?”
Her new living arrangement introduces us to a
whole new group of characters. She has 3 roommates; Dallas (an ex-model), Harper-a
gorgeous go getter with self- esteem issues and Linc, a swoon worthy hunk of
man who prefers males to females. Drake does some serious soul searching and
takes steps to correct the wrongs the must be righted. I loved the changes that
evolved for these two, there is never any doubt they are true soul mates, but
they need to fix the cracks in both their personalities before they can have
their HEA. They need to learn that they can stand on their own before they can
allow themselves to lean on each other. Axton, a sometimes nice guy, sometimes
douche, is back in the story and I can see some possibilities with Dallas.
Shane, my other tortured rocker may have met his match with Harper. She is not
easily impressed and for the first time in his life, Shane has to work at
something. I love all of them, I see so much material for continuing stories
that I hope Ms. Browning continues entertaining and wowing us for many books to
come.
"Is that what you thought?” He
sighed, leaning his forehead against mine. I can’t live without you, Angel. I
love you.”
