His eyes shone like the sun through the treetops on a summer day. Casey thought that was kind of crazy considering he was a nightangel and preferred the darkness. All that light raining down on her was banging against her heart like it was a tin roof in a summer thunderstorm. The curve of his lips told her she would be swimming in the fiery glow of his attention if he had his way.
She couldn’t help but admire him. She gazed up at the nightangel, the way an artist studies her own handiwork with proprietary pleasure. He was handsome, more than handsome; he was the definition of masculine in her personal dictionary. His nature was undiluted by modern convention. Everything about him was unequivocally male—strong, purposeful, and confident. He had a little bit of the knight in shining armor thing going but he played by his own rules. And he was smart as hell. Gabriel was perfect. He was everything she had ever wanted in a man and was afraid to get.
A fan of soothing light stretched behind him and Casey realized it was the radiance of the nightangel’s wings spread out at his back. Yes, he was perfect and it didn’t hurt that he had a Class A set of wings sprouting out of his back either. He was some dream. He beamed down at her. The world tipped on its axis.
The dreamangel was looking more irresistible than she had ever remembered him being—and that was saying something because vampires with the wings of fierce angels had a certain natural tendency to hold a mortal in thrall by virtue of their very presence. She tried to shake herself free of the spell he was casting over her. Doing this was difficult. She could not get enough of her angel. Maybe she was a kind of angel-holic. She shouldn’t like nightangels so much. They tended to take advantage of it.

3.5 stars~!
For Marie Michelle Coleman’s debut novel, I say she did an amazing job. Bespoken is filled with a plot that keeps you guessing and descriptive language that makes it easy and wonderful for the reader to imagine. Casey passes her time with daydreams of Gabriel and when he finally makes his appearance in the “real world”, Casey doesn’t know what to do. There were so many things to enjoy in this novel that I can’t possibly name them all. From Casey and Gabriel to the secondary cast such as Ricki. They all keep you tethered to the storyline until the very end. Bespoken is a book that you can read again and again and still find new and intriguing things to keep you hooked.

About the Author:
Marie Michelle Coleman is a paranormal romance and urban fantasy author whose book, Bespoken, is the first in the Nightangel and Daydreamer series. She’s been in love with the written word since she was old enough to turn the pages of her first book. She’s always had a fascination with vampires and angels. Sitting down at the keyboard and turning on the paranormal blender was a natural next step.
Marie lives in the Washington D.C. area. She believes in the power of a compelling dream, the therapeutic merits of loud music, and the benefits of always being in the middle of reading a great book. Marie has a soft spot for a good romance and likes to laugh. Jane Austen is her favorite author. She’ll probably always be a little in love with Mr. Darcy.
She grows roses in her garden but no matter how hard she tries, they don’t look anything like the ones in Casey Sloane’s daydreams.
