Honestly, the only solid link is the familial one with Dean Robillard. It’s a classic romance author technique—giving secondary characters their own books. Daisy is a secondary character in Dean’s backstory, and he is a secondary character in hers.
Beyond that, any other connections are so minor they’re arguably debatable. Some readers imagine crossovers because they want a more unified series, but SEP’s books are largely standalone with occasional guest appearances. 'Kiss an Angel' has fewer of those cameos because its setting is so unique and insular.

The antagonist force is more internal and psychological. While there are external threats (the stepfather, the circus’s financial woes), the main villain is Alex’s own trauma and the walls he’s built. In other novels, antagonists are often ex-lovers, business rivals, or family interference.
Here, the battle is almost entirely within Alex’s mind. Daisy isn’t fighting another woman or a greedy developer; she’s fighting the ghost of Alex’s father and his own self-loathing. That makes the conflict more intimate and harder to resolve. You can’t have a showdown with a memory. The resolution has to come from a voluntary, painful internal surrender, which is a more complex narrative challenge than outsmarting an external foe.

For a practical answer: check the copyright page. It doesn't list a series number. That's the publisher's way of telling you it's a standalone. Any connections are cameos or easter eggs, not required reading. Let that official information ease your mind.

I’m always a sucker for a hero who falls first, even if he doesn’t admit it. Alex’s development is a slow-motion avalanche of realization. You see it in his actions long before he says a word—the way he starts anticipating her needs, the jealousy he can’t control, the sheer terror when she’s in danger. Phillips uses his point of view sparingly but powerfully, giving us glimpses of the turmoil beneath the stoic exterior. Daisy’s development is more external; she grows into her own person visibly. But Alex’s is this internal, seismic shift that finally cracks open.

Subscription services are a gray area for this specific title. It's not on Kindle Unlimited, but it might be included in something like Scribd, which has a rotating catalog. Scribd offers a free trial month, so you could check if it's included during your trial. Their library changes, so it's hit or miss. Still, a free trial to a service is a legitimate way to read it for free if it's there. Just remember to cancel if you don't want to pay after the trial. Always read the terms.

If you like big, slightly nuts rom-coms with a dash of old-school heat, ’Kiss an Angel’ is absolutely a wild ride worth trying — but with caveats. Susan Elizabeth Phillips writes it as a glittery, high-drama contemporary romance about Daisy Devreaux being shoved into an arranged marriage with the brooding Alex Markov, and the setting even slips into a broken-down circus vibe that gives the book a very particular atmosphere. The book swings hard between tender, goofy moments and some seriously angsty, messy behavior from the hero; readers either adore the emotional grovel and character growth or bristle at things that feel dated and rough around the edges. There’s a sizable fan base that calls it a favorite for its character arcs and emotional payoff, and an equally vocal group who find parts uncomfortable and wish certain actions had been handled differently. If you want similar vibes, stick with Susan Elizabeth Phillips backlist picks like ’Nobody’s Baby But Mine’ for more laugh-out-loud chemistry and wry heroine energy, or try ’Call Me Irresistible’ if you want the same blend of small-town heart and big personalities. Both are solid next steps if you like the tone here. Bottom line: read it if you enjoy messy, emotional romances with an opposites-attract hero who eventually redeems himself — just be ready for some old-school romance beats. I devoured it and loved the chaos, even when it made me gasp.

My go-to route for free reads is the library, and that’s true for 'Kiss an Angel' too — you can often borrow the ebook or audiobook through services like Libby/OverDrive if your public library holds it. I’ve used Libby to grab romance titles more than once; it’s simple: sign in with your library card, search for 'Kiss an Angel', and borrow if a copy is available. That’s a fully legal, no-cost way to read the whole book without paying retailers. If your library participates in Hoopla, that’s another immediate option — Hoopla can let you borrow ebooks instantly without waiting lists in many systems, and I’ve found 'Kiss an Angel' listed there in some library catalogs. If neither app shows availability for your library, retailers like Apple Books, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble will let you preview samples for free, which can tide you over until a copy becomes available to borrow. For audiobooks, services sometimes offer short free trials that include the title as part of the trial credits, though that’s a temporary option. I prefer the library routes because they keep authors supported while letting me read without paying out of pocket, and borrowing through Libby or Hoopla feels effortless once you’ve got the apps set up. Happy reading — Daisy and that grumpy circus hero make for a wild ride.

For a reader who might be skeptical of romance, thinking it's all fluff, 'First Lady' is a brilliant subversion. It's a romance, yes, but it's also a sharp commentary on politics, media, and personal freedom. The intelligence of the writing is apparent on every page. The romance develops through conversations and shared experiences, not just physical attraction. It proves the genre can be witty, politically savvy, and emotionally mature. It's a 'smart' romance that can win over doubters. The premise alone—First Lady goes missing—hooks you, and the execution keeps you invested in both the plot and the relationship.

The pacing of her evolution is perfect—it matches the timeline of the story. It takes months. She has good days and bad days. Some lessons have to be learned multiple times. This realism makes her growth believable. She doesn't have a single epiphany that fixes everything; she has a series of smaller realizations that slowly accumulate into a new worldview. It's the literary equivalent of building muscle—small, consistent efforts over time leading to a dramatic change in strength and endurance.
