Romance Paranormal

Dora has made more errors than any other in Heaven. Her supervisor, Calvin spends a lot of time watching her. Dora loves to spend her free time watching earth through the Earth Pool.

Convinced that she can't do any worse on earth than in Heaven, Dora begs Calvin to intercede with the Heavenly Council to get a chance to go to earth. Dora is given the chance to go to earth and bring together a family torn apart by tragedy. Dora has to remember that she is allowed to come to earth for a limited time and she is forbidden to become to involved with the family.

Tony Falcone's sister and brother-in-law were killed in an accident leaving him the sole guardian of his niece, Penny. When the lady running his day care tells him that he will have to find someone else to care for Penny, Tony finally calls the name of an agency given to him by his foreman. Tony has moved his construction business from Georgia to upstate New York to keep his niece in familiar surroundings.

His own grief from the loss of his sister has left his relationship with Penny very fragile. He doesn't know how to connect with her. While his neighbor, Millie, is always willing to help, she has a husband to take care of.

When Dora appears on his doorstep, he is reluctant to hire someone so attractive but he is so desperate that he moves ahead. Dora is attracted to Tony but she is also aware of the fear that he tries to hide.

As Dora gradually becomes a part of their lives, Tony and Penny start to form a relationship of their own.

ANGEL UNAWARE is a wonderful story. It's warm, witty, with some incredibly satisfying moments. It was never too preachy and the final resolution was both satisfying and entertaining. If you haven't already picked up this book, look for it and wallow in the joy of an all around good read.

SUMMARY

Dora de Angelo was never supposed to be an angel—her soul was sent to the wrong place—and she has always wanted to be a mortal. Maybe that's why she is one of the most inept angels the Celestial Maintenance Department has had the misfortune to employ.

At long last, Dora has received her mission and is sent to Earth. For the three weeks prior to Christmas she must show a man how find his faith in family and help a little girl to become a child again after a terrible tragedy strikes her family. This is not going to be easy. But when Dora reaches Earth, she finds it even more wonderful than she imagined: she finds family, discovers love, and begins to hope for a future she's only dreamed of.
