Maggie Brock has everything under control. Even her divorce, though painful at the time, only registers as a minor blip in her carefully constructed universe. Her life in Prairie Oaks has once again returned to a smooth, predictable pace...until an angel shows up in her bedroom. The angel is just as bewildered as Maggie about why he's been sent to her, but their unsuccessful efforts to gain understanding of the mystery fade to the background as their relationship grows. Soon, Maggie's biggest problem becomes the angel himself, as her feelings for him develop into something less than saintly. While Maggie struggles to keep her desires pure, a nefarious being lurks in the shadows of Prairie Oaks, watching and waiting for the opportunity to fulfill his ambiguous purpose. Preying on her conflicted emotions, the demon manipulates her at every opportunity, but the one to deliver Maggie directly into his hands is the last person she'd expect.

Review: 4 stars
General: I think this book did a beautiful job at depicting something in romance novels that is often missing- at least the ones I read. The actual romance. The book presented a romance, something that grew and blossomed throughout the pages. But also, something that tested faith, made readers think a little on their own and still offered up the much needed happy ending.
For me there was a little too much religion in the book for the noted genre and the reason for not a 5 star review. I think the book functioned wonderfully with the use of religion. However, when someone is picking up a paranormal romance 9 times out of 10 that context isn’t what they are searching for. There were extraordinarily beautiful moments and there were also moments that felt almost too heavy due to the religious element added in.
Characters: Maggie- I thought Maggie was a wonderful character. I am at a very different place in my life and found her journey one I could still connect with. Her struggles and weakness were very realistic for a mother dealing with loss- of love, family and even a little faith. I found it nice to read a character with an older protagonist and still feel a sense of connection.
Evan- I did and I didn’t love Evan. He was a wonderful character in her dreams. Kind, loving and supportive. But to an extent where the romance of it all almost swept away his individuality in some areas. But again, I loved the romance in the story so I suppose overall I did enjoy him just wish he had a bit more personality as I’m used to that in novels normally. (
