Angel Of Mercy

By Toni Andrews

Last month I killed a man…and now I'm afraid what I might do next

As a hypnotherapist with a special talent, I'm very good at getting people to overcome their problems. My own problem, however, is that my talent comes from a dark place. If I tell you to do something, trust me: you will do it. Most of the time I can keep things from getting out of hand, but when my emotions interfere, I lose control. That's when people get hurt, sometimes even killed.

The only ones who know I've got a secret are my best friend Sukey and my boyfriend Sam. So far I've been able to keep them safe from the psychic cross fire, but what if one day I can't? Like now. Because now I find myself in the shadowy world of battered women and children, where I've met a little girl who's been violated in the worst possible way. As you can imagine, my emotions are about to interfere….

Toni Andrews

Toni Lea Andrews was born in Hartford, Connecticut. The child of older parents, she became a "snow bird" when they retired while she was still in first grade. She graduated from high school near their retirement community in Stuart, Florida and then spent a year in Kentucky before returning to finish college in Connecticut. While working as a traveling salesperson a few years later, Toni fell in love with the beach-front town of Balboa, California and quit her job in order to move there. She stayed for fifteen years before her career as a business analyst took her to Miami. Now writing full time, Toni is back in New England, living in the tiny lakeside cottage where she spent summers as a child. She returns to Balboa whenever she can and has been delighted to find the town still retains its unique character and charm.

Ok, story. Not my particular cup of tea, but it was a good story.

Wendy Hawk, a widow who lives alone in the Everglades, finds an unconscious man face down in the swamps near her home. She takes him home and nurses him back to health. When she finds out why and how he came to be there, she isn’t sure she wants to be his Angel of Mercy anymore. But, neither of them can fight the attraction they have for each other.This is a typical Silhouette/Harlequin type romance from the 1980’s. Some references are dated, but it still seems pretty contemporary. The chemistry between the two main characters is crackling, if a bit rushed, and somewhat melodramatic. The final confrontation was suspenseful and satisfying. Looking forward to the next book in this series featuring supporting characters from the last two.
