Crave (The Fallen Angels #2)

Seven deadly sins. Seven souls that must be saved. One more no-holds-barred battle between Jim Heron, a fallen angel with a hardened heart, and a demon with everything to lose. Isaac Rothe is a black-ops soldier with a dark past and a grim future. The target of an assassin, he finds himself behind bars, his fate in the hands of his gorgeous public defender, Grier Childe. His hot attraction to her is a totally wrong place - wrong time kind of thing - and that's before Jim Heron tells him his soul is in danger. Caught up in a wicked game with the demon who shadows Jim, Isaac must decide whether the soldier in him can believe that true love is the ultimate weapon against evil...

After a slow listening start (I think I had to much on my mind in early July to focus on the story) I started listening again yesterday, and I was quickly absorbed into the characters and the plot.

The falsetto of narrator, Eric G. Dove, took a little getting use to, especially for the Grier Childe character, but I thinkg overall the narration was great and made the story really come alive.  Other people around me started listening and asking questions about the story as they were drawn in.

Although it had been a while since I read, Covet (Fallen Angels, Book 1), I was able to pick up and move forward with Crave with the refreshers provided by the author. The romance was practically non-existent, but there was more than enough going on to make up for it.  Besides, it would have seemed odd for Isaac to soften too much considering his background.

I'm all set to start on book 3 in the series, Envy.
