I am in awe of her talent. -- Julia Quinn Charming...Long's distinctive metaphor-rich style is a treat, a visual and textural tapestry that expresses the characters' emotional lives through their senses. She suffuses the prose with images of fire and musical reverberations, distilling into them the erotic affection, sensual banter, and crackling chemistry that arcs between the combatant lovers. You'll be seduced by this fake-engagement romance set at the London docks. -- <em>Kirkus Reviews</em> (starred review) on <em>I'm Only Wicked with You</em> Long finds that delectable sweet spot with Angel in a Devil's Arms, welcoming us all to the cozy warmth of the Grand Palace on the Thames with the peculiar blend of humor and pathos she writes with such aplomb. -- <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> Deploying her usual perfectly calibrated mix of irresistibly dry wit and superbly nuanced characterization, RITA Award-winning Long adds another winner to her Palace of Rogues series with this lushly sensual, exquisitely emotional, and gracefully written tale about two people desperately trying not to fall in love with each other. -- <strong><em>Booklist </em>(starred review) for <em>Angel in a Devil's Arms</em></strong> Delightful...refreshing. Readers will enjoy this rich depiction of how the past informs but does not dictate the future. -- <strong> <em>Publishers Weekly </em>for <em>Angel in a Devil's Arms</em></strong> Julie Anne Long reinvents the historical romance for modern readers. -- <strong>Amanda Quick</strong>
