Angels' Blood

To be honest, I don't even get why Raphael falls in love with Elena because she hasn't done anything by that point except pique his interest just because she doesn't immediately fall on her knees and does everything he says. I mean, come on, dude – if you go around killing/torturing anyone who disagrees with you, no shit you'll be surrounded by ‘yes men' all the time (except for the oh-so-special Seven, of course) so you kind of put yourself into the situation of everyone around you now being boring. I guess I just don't see how she's so special (besides smelling vampires) that an immortal, who has experienced so many interesting people through the centuries, would somehow find her compelling. Not that Raphael himself is a prize, mind you. He's the typical alphahole that is too prevalent in Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance / Romances.
