An Angel for Emily

An Angel for Emily has been in my collection for a few years now. I don't know why it's taken me so long to pick it up and read it. But...WOW! Once I started, I found it difficult to put down. Jude Deveraux has done it again...I'm just late to the party! LOL The story of Emily and her Angel is cute, funny, captivating and wonderful! Classic Jude Deveraux. The twists keep coming and nothing is as it really seems. Pick this up if you like a little angel, a little ghost, and a lot of distraction in your love stories! In my home...this is a keeper!

Emily is too nice. Everyone says so. Even the local news channel calls her angel. She really is. When her boyfriend disappoints her plans for a romantic weekend, Emily understands.

Micheal knows exactly how nice Emily is. He needs to be close to her to protect her like he has done already for hundreds of years and numerous lifetimes. Lifetimes when he, as her guardian angel, has had to watch her be taken advantage of, be hurt, due to her belief in the goodness of people who do not deserve her, people who do not love her the way he does.

Things change when it becomes apparent Emily is in danger. Rules are bent and Michael is sent to Earth as a human to protect Emily. He gets off to a bang of a start when he manages to get himself hit by show more her car. Now the only thing standing between Emily and death is an angel who can't convince his charge of who he is. show less

Emily Jane Todd, bibliotecaria de un pequeño pueblo, atropella a un ángel errante peligrosamente atractivo. Michael sale ileso del accidente, demuestra conocer hasta el último detalle de la vida de la joven y le anuncian que lo han enviado del cielo para salvarla. Pero, en cuanto él le revela que puede ver las almas de las personas y que la suya es de una extraordinaria belleza, se prepara para perder el cielo en sus brazos. El viaje que emprenden juntos romperá toda regla celestial y terrenal antes de que a Emily se le conceda un deseo: el amor divino.

Deveraux schreibt immer gut, aber hier geht die Geschichte einfach nicht auf. Das geheimnissvolle Verbrechen wird nur pseudomässig aufgeklärt und der Schluss, der ja ein Höhepunkt sein sollte, wirkt schnell hingeworfen und hinterlässt kein wirklich gutes Gefühl. Auch die Art und Weise, wie Emily und Michael am Schluss doch beieinander bleiben dürfen, ist zu simpel geraten.
