Summary: George Cowley knows a marriage made in heaven when he sees one, and he's going to arrange it even if he has to send his young recruits to hell and back. Bodie, closed off and traumatised from his experiences in the SAS, can't believe he's being partnered up with a raw ex-copper. But Ray Doyle is his last chance, and as they fight through their training together and begin their work on the turbulent streets of 1970s London, a fire springs up between them that will either be their partnership's making or its destruction.

Notes: Thank you to JGL for encouraging me to take part in this great project and being my first reader, also to Firlefanzine for the atmospheric artwork.

Dear Angelfish
I've finished reading Painted Angels this morning and I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved it.
It was one of those rare stories where you enjoy and admire every single word, where you just NEED to read on and on but feel sad at the same time because you know every wonderful word is bringing you closer to the end, and you don't want it to end, not ever.
I love the way you write, the present tense, the atmosphere your style of writing creates, and I was awed and mesmerised by many single sentences and descriptions.
LIKE BLOOD THROUGH MILK will probably stay with me forever.
I was deeply moved and touched by the backgrounds you created for Bodie and Doyle, how damaged and traumatised they both were in their own way. And what it took to make healing and happiness a little more possible.
What a fantastic plot, utterly believable and convincing, beautifully created and unfolding in such a perfect way. I adored every single scene of your amazing story and I can only agree: Not only the lads were spot on but Cowley, too and I enjoyed that so much.
I'm a sucker for "How Bodie and Doyle Met" stories anyway, but this is one of the very best I've ever read in my whole life. Almost worth developping Alzheimers for, so you could just explore and enjoy it for the first time again and again and again.
Thank you so so much...for this incredible, awesome story and for the brilliant, excited and happy hours I had reading it.
Love Bodie4me
