It takes a heavenly wink and a couple of wannabe angels desperate to win their wings for Mary Louise "Pickles" Carson and Cam Hollinwell to realize they're soul mates. A Las Vegas teacher with a proclivity for all things vintage, Pickles' dream is to have a baby. Considering her sex life is a big fat zero, that seems impossible. Cam is a washed up journalist whose only goal in life is to return to mainstream reporting. What will it take for these two very different people to fall in love? How about a miracle? Pickles is playing video poker when the angels bowl her over with the news she's pregnant courtesy of an obscure scientific miracle called parthenogenesis-conception without the benefit of a male found in plants and lower level species. Cam's journalistic career was tanked by a false date rape charge, and now he's reporting on Elvis sightings for a national tabloid. His task is to publicize the angel's miracle. In return they'll help him resurrect his career. Our hero and heroine soon find themselves in a world of murder, mayhem and all things Elvis. Add in a budding romance, the devil's hunky minion, and an inept villain-then set the story in a Vegas that tourists rarely see with a cast of eccentric characters, and you have all the elements of a rollicking good time.

I really liked this book. I thought it was a pretty fun read with interesting characters. I thought that maybe we'd find out more about the baby and what's so special about him/her. I think the plot would still work out well enough even if Pickles wasn't pregnant, since it was more about Cam and Pickles' relationship anyway, but I wasn't too bothered by it. If there's a sequel I'd definitely read it! ( )
