Review of Fallen Angel Plus a Contest!

2/19/2014

8 Comments

 
Lisa Swinton has written a sweet romantic story set in Milan, Italy.  The engaging characters, intriguing family situations, and the foreign setting all combine to make this an enjoyable read. 

Antonio is a sweet, likeable guy who doesn't quite believe in the love-at-first-site story his mom tells of her relationship with his father. That is, until he sees a beautiful gelato-slurping woman across the street. Alas, however, they are not to meet yet as she promptly gets struck by a motorcycle, is whisked off to the hospital, and wakes up not knowing who she (or anyone else) is. Luckily, Antonio is there to describe what her lovely face looked like before the accident to a police sketch artist, which helps to locate her family. Also lucky for her, Antonio commits to volunteering for her care and rehabilitation.

He has an ulterior motive, however, and that is to see if she will fall in love with him as he has fallen for her, before her family intervenes and takes her back to her posh life. As her memory returns, Renatta finds that she is not the same person she was before the accident and she is not willing to blindly follow all that her mother has decided for her future, including marriage to the rich and handsome Marcello.

I enjoyed the depth of the characters that Swinton created in this story. Although one would like to mistrust playboy Stefano, dislike pushy Marcello, and hate Renatta’s controlling mother, Swinton has made them complex enough to show their likeable, or at least vulnerable, sides.

The setting and interspersed Italian words made me long to visit Milan; I could almost taste the gelato that Renatta so enjoyed throughout the story. I’d recommend this sweet story to anyone who likes romance and yearns for love to triumph over expediency.

Fallen Angel
 
Antonio does not believe in love at first sight until he sees her fall into a street in Milan and get hit by a motorcycle. Compelled to know if she can return his affection, he becomes Renatta’s hospital volunteer only to learn that the accident erased her memory. Together they must discover her past, present and future. In the way of happily ever after stand her opera career, tyrannical mother, and fiancé.  Antonio must win Renatta’s heart before she bends to the will of her mother and marries Marcello.  Failure means a lifetime of loneliness, for love at first sight never happens twice.

Additionally, the specific schools in the overall population to educate the almost deaf, outwardly debilitated and cripple understudies to teach them and make them prepared to pass a customary life and not to lose heart and not feel their powerlessness. Along these lines, the overall population can be quiet and merry.

I am supportive of those things for the instructors which are productive for their understudies like the gathering of educators about issues. They ought to sit together least twice in a month to explain the major and little issues of their school.
