The sexy blond guy who appeared before Brett Thatcher in the swirling Colorado snow looked anything but angelic. In tight jeans and a leather jacket, he almost made her forget she was the chief suspect in her ex-husband's murder. Whoever he was, Sam Angel was all that stood between her and prison.
The sight of Brett almost made Sam forget that he'd been assigned her case to avenge an innocent, not fulfill a fantasy. Sam could not perform miracles—but this time he'd have to. Not only was Brett's life in danger, but the longer he stayed with her and the closer he got to her, the more he feared Brett would be the one temptation he couldn't resist.
Maggie Osborne is the author of I Do, I Do, I Do and Silver Lining, as well as more than forty contemporary and historical romance novels written as Maggie Osborne and Margaret St. George. She has won numerous awards from Romantic Times, Affaire de Coeur, BookraK, the Colorado Romance Writers, and Coeur du Bois, among others. Osborne won the RITA for long historical from the Romance Writers of America in 1998. Maggie lives in a resort town in the Colorado mountains with her husband, one mule, two horses, one cat, and one dog, all of whom are a lot of aggravation, but she loves them anyway.
Sam Angel, an Avenging Angel, takes on Brett Thatcher’s case to prove her innocent of her estranged husband’s murder. He materializes at the point where she discovers the body at her mountain cabin. His job seems to be like a private investigator’s except with a few interesting tricks up his sleeve. They must find enough evidence to get the police to look at other possible suspects, since all the obvious evidence points to Brett. Sam keeps pushing the limits of his angel/mortal interactions and getting threatened with banishment to the unknown Fifth Choir. This was a fun mix of mystery and fantasy. I’ll look for other Angel books.
Bingo Square: Romance Having heard that Margaret St.George was a(nother) pen name for Maggie Osborne, I had high expectations for this. Well, they were not met. A quick, trivial read, with lots of plotholes.
