Guardian Angels #4
Gabriel's Mission
Tough Boss, Tender Lover
Gabriel McGuire knew that Chloe Cavanagh had never taken to him as her boss. Maybe he was ruthless and uncompromising, but she was certainly no angel! The was Chloe taunted him at work could be amusing, but her reckless actions could also be downright exasperating!
If he was sometimes abrasive with her, couldn't Chloe see that it was for her own good? One of these days, she'd take one risk too many. She'd probably worn out a whole host of guardian angels, but some small voice kept telling Gabriel that someone had to protect her and he was the man for the job.

About the author
Margaret Way
617 books165 followersMargaret Way was born and educated in the river city of Brisbane, Australia. Before her marriage she was a well-known pianist, teacher, vocal coach and accompanist, but her hectic musical career came to a halt when her son was born and the demands of motherhood dictated a change of pace.
On a fortuitous impulse she decided to try her hand at romance writing and was thrilled when Mills & Boon accepted her first effort, Time of the Jacaranda, which they published less than a year later in 1970; a feat that brought tears to her father's eyes. Some seventy odd books have followed resulting in a loyal readership whose letters provide a source of support and encouragement. A driving force in all her writing has been the promotion of her much loved country, Australia. She delights in bringing it alive for her readers; its people, way of life, environment, flora and fauna. Her efforts so far have not excited official recognition, but she expects one day she will be awarded the "Order of Australia."
Her interests remain with the arts. She still plays the piano seriously, but her "top Cs" have gone. She is still addicted to collecting antiques and paintings and browsing through galleries. She now lives within sight and sound of beautiful Moreton Bay and its islands, inspiration for some of her books. Her house is full of books, spectacular plants, Chinese screens and pots. She is devoted to her garden and spends much time "directing the design and digging and providing cold drinks and chocolates."

The book reinforced and reinstalled my belief in guardian angels and renewed my own connection with Mikhael, my guardian angel.

When I started reading, and the prologue was about some baby angels romping about in Heaven, and all the big honcho angels having business chats about guardianship roles, I had to put it down and have a quick 'wtf and I reading??' moment.
Anyway - I pushed on, and was so glad I did. Both these main characters were a delight, the dialogue was genuinely witty and sweet, the h was sensible and kind and spoke up when things bothered her, and the romance was just wonderful. The guardian angel angle was a bit out there, but so damn heart warming I rolled with it.
I also really felt more on a level with these characters, I think because they are Aussies and a lot of the language and culture feels familiar to me as a Brit. I never have quite this same connection with American authors and characters *shrug*.
I'm sure I've read Margaret Way's stuff before, and enjoyed it - and I loved this one so much I'm going to hunt down more of her stuff.

Unusual romance, very cute
The h, Chloe, is rather overwhelmed, having to work hard to care for her mother who has been in a coma but still wasn't "awake". The h worked for a new broom boss, the H, Gabriel, who'd replaced her old, comfy boss. There's a nasty little gal, Tara, that believes the H belongs to her and a new guardian angel who's subbing for the regular one who needs a rest. Add in a few unusual incidents and the usual romantic tension and you have a lovely little tale.

A story that has a person with the guardian angel. The ending is wonderful. Once again can't say too much or I will spoil the story. Gabriel gets really confused when someone keeps whispering in his ear. A lot to this story. Loved it.
