[Denise Kettering · Rating 2 out of 5]

Once I accepted the fantasy aspect of angels and so forth as part of the plot, the book was an o.k. read. The characters are not terribly deep and this is sort of like reading a knock-off Hallmark movie. This is a quick, breezy romance about an angel, who has to become human for awhile in order to learn some lessons about compassion. So she wakes up as a Kindergarten teacher and has to figure out how to help Nathan and Pheobe Baxter. As you can imagine, the plot unfolds from there with misunderstandings and ultimately the choice about returning as an angel or becoming human. Like I said, this is not my favorite kind of romance, but overall it is readable and a sort of guilty pleasure.

What a fun story! A disenchanted angel with a penchant for pink-slipping her souls gets sent to earth to learn the human lessons of faith, hope and love by helping a jaded man with a 5 year old daughter. The angel only wants to get back to heaven, and the father only wants a woman who is willing to stick around. Great read!

I enjoyed the twists and quirkiness. It was kinda of like reading a Hallmark Christmas movie with smut, but innocence? Lol, it's hard to explain.... enjoyable, adorable. Loved it.
