This week's neglected book:

Crave by JR Ward

#2 Fallen Angels

Paranormal Romance

Released 10.5.10

Blurb:

Seven deadly sins. Seven souls that must be saved. One more no-holds-barred battle between a fallen angel with a hardened heart and a demon with everything to lose.

Isaac Rothe is a black ops soldier with a dark past and a grim future. The target of an assassin, he finds himself behind bars, his fate in the hands of his gorgeous public defender Grier Childe. His hot attraction to her can only lead to trouble—and that's before Jim Heron tells him his soul is in danger. Caught up in a wicked game with the demon who shadows Jim, Isaac must decide whether the soldier in him can believe that true love is the ultimate weapon against evil.

WHY DID I PICK THIS ONE?

I bought this one back in 2012 along with the first book when I discovered this series had a moderate connection to the author's Blackdagger Brotherhood series plus I saw people loving on this series on their blogs. I read book one last year, and it did have a little crossover moment, and meant to keep right on going with this book. Didn't happen.

But now I have extra incentive. I needed the oldest PNR on my TBR pile for The Vault space on my #Romanceopoly challenge board and, because I struggle to read some of the print version type, I'm not going to read my paperback copy. Instead, I am able to use this toward the #LibraryLove challenge with the electronic version. I'm hoping to get it read within the next few weeks before I have to return it to the library.
