Beauty Awakened by Gena Showalter

His name is Koldo. He is scarred, powerful, his control legendary—and he lives only for vengeance against the angel who viciously removed his wings. But if he yields to the forces of hatred, he will be eternally damned.

Nicola Lane was born with a defective heart, yet this fragile human shows surprising strength as demons stalk her every move, determined to end her. She is the key to Koldo's deliverance…and his downfall. Though he fights duty, destiny and his first addictive taste of desire, his toughest battle will be the one for Nicola's life—even if he has to sacrifice his own…. 

 What I enjoyed about the story is how effortless the romance is between Nicola and Koldo. I can see how and why they fall for each other. There is no great misunderstanding or hurtful mistake one has to forgive the other for. Koldo just wants to be loved and Nicola is the balm to his tattered soul.

None of the misunderstandings that are often a part of the romance, or something one of them needs to be forgiven for.  It was a very pleasant change.

The disappointing part of the story was the sex scenes.  Gena Showalter usually writes very hot scenes, not so much this time.  Still a very enjoyable read.
