Covet by J. R. Ward is the first book in the Fallen Angel Series. A paranormal romance mystery with a Pretty Women feel to it.
Covet Summary

Covet Review
Characters
Vin is a pretty typical rich guy from a broken childhood. The most interesting thing about him is how his success started.
Jim is your typical bad boy. Military experience, killed a lot of people, brooding. You know the type.
The women in the story are pretty cookie-cutter too.
Writing/Plot
Although a little predictable, it wasn’t boring. We have a few storylines to follow. Jim figuring out how to be an angel. The relationship forming between Jim and Vin. There is also a who done it mystery thrown in there too.
Romance
The romance in Covet was ok. I would say it was insta love on Vin’s side. It had a very Pretty Womanish theme to it. The smut was pretty good. I liked that J. R. Ward wrote awkward sexy scenes. When you first meet someone lovemaking isn’t perfect.
Enjoyment
I enjoyed it. It would have been more enjoyable it more if there was better/more dialog and if feared more for the character’s lives. I would recommend it to someone who wants to read a mystery romance with a side of paranormal.
