No Angel
Short Story in The Power of Love Anthology
By Lucy Monroe
Berkley Sensation - June 2008
Contemporary Romance
Twelve authors coming together and providing short stories for an anthology. Twelve short stories of empowered women overcoming obstacles and finding success and love. The Power of Love is an anthology of twelve romances written by some of today's brightest stars in the romance genre showing that sometimes anything is possible, given the power of love.
Cheryl Gentry knew when to be intimidated by a man. After all, she had learned first hand what an angry man could do. It didn't matter how much her boss Zack Alexander growled and shouted, it didn't matter that he was big and strong, she simply wasn't scared. She also had no intention of allowing him to treat her that way.
Zack knew he'd been wrong with his treatment of Cheryl, but her response to his idea of an apology baffled him. She definitely wasn't an angel. She had attitude and spunk, and he liked her just the way she was. Now he'd decided he wanted her, and she'd have to simply accept it. He hoped she would be able to accept this controlling side of him.
No Angel was an entertaining romance. I loved how Cheryl kept mystifying Zack. He definitely could not anticipate her reactions. The interaction between them was entertaining. This was one short story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
