Falling
Love can appear in the most unlikeliest of places... and the most unlikeliest of forms...
Teresa returns to her family’s old summer home in upstate New York to attend the funeral of her older brother. It’s a place that she’s scared to visit – her parents died there when she was quite young, an accident that caused her to lose a bit of herself – and her faith in God. As she investigates her brother’s death she meets – and is saved from a near-death situation by – a mysterious stranger, Gabe, whom she immediately finds herself attracted to. As Gabe assists her with the case and she falls for him, she starts to believe in something
He’s an angel sent to protect her.
In the vein of uplifting, romantic stories told by Karen Kingsbury and Karen Witemeyer, FALLING is the first in the AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE series by longtime ghost writer M.K. Lansbury. A contemporary romance, it features a clean, wholesome story with suspense, paranormal and thriller aspects – but most importantly an exploration of what makes someone believe in something larger than them.

Do you believe in guardian angels?
Teresa returns to Park-on-Hudson for the funeral of her brother Xavier. All isn’t as it appears and she starts to wonder if Xavier’s drowning was an accident. If you enjoy quick reads with a little suspense, this is the book for you. Also, do you believe in guardian angels?

I enjoyed the overall storyline of Falling but would like to have seen more in-depth characters. It was interesting enough that I kept me turning the pages hoping to get deeper into the story. I feel this would have made a better full-length novel than a novella, as it was over too soon.
The author's descriptions of the setting were vivid enough that I felt like I was there. I liked the author's writing style and feel that they have a lot more to offer.
I was provided with an ARC copy of the book and voluntarily choose to review it.

There are definitely Angels among us as Teresa learned when she went home for her brothers funeral.
After losing their parents at a young age, Teresa and Xavier had differing opinions of God. She lost her faith while Xavier's faith seemed to grow. The visit home also taught her to be careful of those who proclaimed to be friends and to be open to others who just want to help wherever they can and expect nothing in return.
There are some wonderful lessons hidden in this heartwarming story that we could all benefit from.

If you liked City of Angels...
... you’ll love this, a nice short read about the loss and discovery of faith through the love. A bit of mystery, a bit of intrigue, and a bit of romance... a nice blend of numerous genres.

I received a free copy of this book through Bookfunnel and this is my voluntary and honest review. I enjoyed this book and having a Guardian Angel is believable. This was the first time I have read a book by this author and I plan on reading the rest of the books in this series.

I really enjoyed this story even though it wasn't real long. This has to do with losing family and Yes, murder. And yes, there may be an angel. I voluntarily chose to review this. I was very touched by this and gave it a 5* rating.

Riveting story.
Not sure if this book was short or not, just know that I could not stop reading it until I was finished. Can't wait to read the next one! Starting it now!

Clean novella about a woman who has lost her faith.

Interesting.
I love reading sweet and clean stories but I'm not sure about stories of angels. This is an interesting concept. I wished these stories were a bit longer.

I really loved this story.
July 1, 2021
I do believe in angels. I know God hears my prayers. I know He watches over me. I choose to believe He loves me so much, I cannot fathom it. I can’t give a review on Amazon because they don’t share my beliefs and don’t want others to hear this truth. I’m blocked from Amazon but not goodreads, which I love

July 8, 2018I love the idea of this story, but the execution fell short. The story is pitched as a romance but is really part romance, part murder mystery, part paranormal investigation, and part soap opera. None of the genres truly stand out as the main storyline. The novella has 10 chapters, which is not uncommon. The real disappointment is that each chapter is 3 pages, at most. The whole book can be read in an hour. The combination of the short format and the multiple genres makes the story feel rushed and unfinished. Although it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, there is no closure for any of the story arcs either. This is probably because the story is designed as book 1 in a series.
Teresa could be interesting and Gabe is mysterious, but neither character is very well developed. By the end of the story, the reader knows very little about either. The other characters are classic tropes with an unrealistic obviousness about their roles. Sudden epiphany is used to force characters to change their core personality to better fit the narrative. Plot hints are also obvious and leave nothing for the reader to guess about.
The story needed to be longer to fully develop the characters and give them time to work out the various issues. As it stands, it reads like a draft version of a novel that is still in the development stages. There is also a lack of content editing as some sections of the story literally make no sense. I love the concept for this book and truly believe that with a little more focus and editing the story could be really good.
