I was about to say you could read the Imriel trilogy by itself, but I realised that you would be missing a lot of background information if you skipped the third book of the first trilogy. So there's that. Reading the first trilogy also lets you appreciate the worldbuilding as well, which is easily the thing I liked the most about these Terre d'Ange series. I found her prose annoying in comparison.
Anyway, the Imriel trilogy might be worth a read. The character of Imriel is more realistic (the people I know who 'loved' Phedre found him boring in comparison), and there's less... confronting scenes than in the first trilogy. I think a lot of the first book in the Imriel trilogy in particular is devoted to setting things up though, so the slow pace might be off-putting.
