Kai and Angel are just lovely. This is a deeply emotional journey of healing and trusting for the both of them, and handled delicately and believably by Raven. The writing in this story is incredibly tight - well edited and technically sound, which is rarer than you’d think in the romance novel sphere. Add to it delicious chemistry and smut and genuine emotional range? Truly delightful.
This was also a true standalone. I haven’t read the rest of the series and didn’t feel like I was missing anything of the context. Without resorting to a wall of exposition, Raven managed to work in all the necessary backstory and leave us satisfied and not confused.
No spoilers, but keep tissues handy. This is NOT angsty or dark, but it is emotionally heavy in terms of some subject matters and the empathy the characters evoke in their struggles. Total HEA.

St. Pierre gives her readers a realistic and heart warming romance in DELIVERED. Both Kai and Angel are relatable people with issues and hang ups that aren't over the top, but still difficult enough to provide tension to the story. Kai feels a need to prove to the world that he is strong enough to overcome a great tragedy and achieve professional success. While Angel is out to prove to herself and her family that she can forge her own path without their intrusive interference.
Kai is a self made man who has fought for and earned his every success and accomplishment. Life hasn't been easy for Kai and he has big responsibilities that he takes seriously. Kai has built a reputation for being reserved and professional at all times, yet when he is put in close contact with Angel, she tempts him to navigate around his sturdily erected defenses. Not only does Angel surprise him by being more professionally competent than he expected, but she also makes him want to connect with her on more than a professional level.
Angel is still recovering from the abrupt ending of a long term relationship with a man who ultimately made her question her own desirability and self awareness. With her confidence in her judgement and appeal shaken, Angel is as cautious as Kai when it comes to forming a relationship beyond physical attraction.
The attraction between Kai and Angel is intense and the sexy times are just right. I am not going to lie, there were a few scenes where all I thought was "Get it girl!" When Angel decides to go for it, she goes all in. Nice! St. Pierre allowed the story to move quickly without leaving the reader feeling that anything is missing or glossed over. DELIVERED is an enjoyable contemporary romance between two people who have been singed by relationships in the past, but eventually take the risk to find unexpected happiness.
P.S. This is truly a stand alone title. I have not read the complete Free Falling series and I had absolutely no problem following and enjoying DELIVERED.

3 Stars I finished!
This book was a bit of a drag for me it took me a long time to finish because I wasn’t really interested. As I’m writing this review I can’t even remember what happens in the book. I wouldn’t recommend reading this book because it wasn’t very captivating.
