It’s been fifteen years since I let Angel slip away from me. Since I made some poor decisions and lost my best friend. Now she shows up in my office looking like a wet dream and picks a fight with my secretary in the first fifteen seconds.She says she needs my help. She says a crime boss is after her but she didn’t go anything to grab his attention. I have my doubts about that. Everything about … Everything about Angel screams “look at me” and every part of my body is paying attention to her. But she is right about one thing.
She does need me, and she’s going to get me, because I’m not letting her go again.
My money, my connections, my heart; she can have it all.
I need her just as bad.

It was quite creative with spectacular and stupifying scenes. It keeps me turning pages and sparks the imagination of the reader as they journey through their relationship and challenging scenarios

An exciting, powerful, and intense second chance romance – this book is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. The storyline is incredibly descriptive and action-packed with unexpected twists and turns, kidnapping, and violent suspense. Strong characters – the chemistry hot, steamy, and off the charts. A truly riveting read! Looking forward to reading the next book. Definitely recommended.

This is the first book in the series and was a great read I was hooked from the very first chapter. Gabe and Angela were just great characters, these two were best friends in high school but then he just backed out of their friendship and he has always wondered why now she is in trouble and needs Gabe’s help and he wants some answers but before he can get them she is kidnapped. This was a super start to the series I cannot wait for the next one.
Holy sh!t, this book was AMAZING!!
This is the first book by Desiree Lafawn that I’ve read and as soon as I finished it I got book 2 to see what happens next!! YES, it was that GOOD!!
Gabe and Angel were the best of friends growing up until his senior year then everything changed. Now 15 year laters Angel is in trouble and turns to the one man she knows can help her but at what cost?? Can these two broken people find away to get pass the hurt and pain they have held all these years or will they let it get in the way once again??
Forewarning… your sides and cheeks will be hurting throughout this book!!
Gabe is the first book in Desiree Lafawn’s Glass City Hearts series. I read the third book first and then felt compelled to pick up the first and the second books of the series. I absolutely love Desiree Lafawn’s writing, there is something magical about it … it pulls you in and doesn’t let you go … she makes the characters so real that you feel as if you are experiencing their lives along with them! I recommend to start with the first book and then continue with the next ones as you will meet some of the characters in previous books and knowing their stories you will get so much more out of the story you are reading!
Gabe is the story of Gabe Anderson, an ex-Special Forces, bodyguard, investigator … the hero of every warm blooded woman, and Angel Jax, the girl next door who writes smutty romantic comedies and moonlights as a singer for living … what do they have in common? They were the best friends when growing up and then … something happened … and they have not seen or spoken for fifteen years! And now, Angel is at Gabe’s door as he is the only one who could help her out of the sticky situation she has ended up in …
It is a masterfully written story of past secrets and present filled with danger … openings for second chances and … well, everything one would want from a story that takes us away …
This is Book 1 in the Glass City Hearts series. This was so good! I really enjoyed this book because there was something exciting happening from the very first chapter. You were never given a chance to be bored by slow reading. Angel definitely doesn’t live up to her name because she gives as good as she gets. She never backs down and her mouth! Don’t try to get in an argument with her, because you won’t win. Angel and Gabe were best friends in school until something happens to cause Angel to back away. Now she’s in trouble and needs Gabe’s help. They are perfect for each other but they have a lot to get through concerning that thing that happened. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. If it’s anywhere close to this book, it will be awesome. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a great fast paced love story.
I love, love, love Gabe! He is the total package in my book, lol. Angel is a feisty spitfire and she is perfect for him. Gabe and Angel used to be best friends until Angel quit talking to him. Gabe left town after he graduated and joined the Army. When Angel finds herself in trouble, she goes to Gabe for help. When they are talking outside his building, she is taken. Will he get her back or is their chance to rekindle their friendship or more over? This story will keep you reading as fast as you can. There is romance, suspense, comedy, and so much more. Grab your copy and see if Gabe doesn’t become your next bbf.
OMG! I totally fell in love with Gabe. Gabe and Angel’s love story started a long time ago, then it was put on ice as each grew up and found their way in the world. As Angel finds herself in a heap of trouble, for trying to do the right thing she goes to Gabe, after not seeing him for 15 years. The characters are loveable. I want to be like Greta and Jolene when I get old! The story kept me reading. The romance is sweet without getting cheesy, I really enjoyed it!
First in series
Angel is an author and part time singer, she lives in a retirement home… despite the fact she is NOT an elderly person. She has a fantastic life, albeit a somewhat lonely one….. until suddenly, she doesn’t… she needs help fast… not knowing who to turn to she ends up on the door of a childhood friend..Gabe.
Physical and emotional distance hasn’t changed the old hurts and time hasn’t eased them like Angel believed. Gabe wants answers, answers that Angel is too scared to admit as weakly healed scars are picked free.
Fantastic and utterly gripping from the start! This book and its beautifully written charachters pulled me in and would not let go! Not that I have up much of a fight… in fact I was a willing participant!
My GAWD..this author can write a GREAT book boyfriend…and I loved the catch up with charachters from her previous book ( AHEM BECK!! AWARD AFOREMENTIONED BOOK BOYFRIEND )
Heavy on the laughs, hawt chemistry and heart kicking feels. This book is a bloody diamond of a read and I cannot wait for more in the series and more from this author!!

Review:
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but somehow it didn’t fully meet my expectations but on the other hand it did? It’s weird. I wished the suspense part was worked out a bit better.
The reason why Angel cut Gabe out of her live was really stupid. I get it upset her but to cut him out completely for that was a bit of an over reaction. They could have talked it out easily within a few minutes. Instead they spend 15 years mulling over it. Totally unnecessary.
Other than some stupid drama it was fun watching Angel and Gabe interact. Angel was quite stubborn and made some stupid choices but other than that, it was fun.
The side characters where fun as well. Dino was quite interesting.
What is this book about:
Angel and Gabe where childhood best friends but one event tore their friendship apart. 15 years later Angel didn’t expect to be on Gabe doorstep needing help.
Angel witnessed something she shouldn’t have and that put her on the radar of some very bad people. Begin ex military and owning his own security firm makes Gabe the right guy for the job.
Despite the pent up emotion, sparks still fly between them.
What did I like/love:
I liked the idea of the book. It was a quick read. Gabe was a good guy and I did like Angel. The side characters where fun as well.
What did I dislike/hate:
Didn’t like the unnecessary drama. I mean I expected it but could have done without it. It was to predictable.
Rating:
3 it was decent stars
