Angels Fly
By Donna Simonetta
Publisher: The
Wild Rose Press
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy Romance
Two years after
her husband’s death, Kelly believes her romantic life is done. Until she
reconnects with her girlhood crush on social media, and as fate would have it,
he lives across the street.
James is over
the whole true-love thing. His grasping ex-wife tore that belief out of him,
when she left him for a rich, old man. Then he finds out his first love moved
to San Diego too, and their attraction burns as hot as ever.
What they don’t
know is that Fate didn’t bring them together – the Guardian Angel Corps did,
led by two unlikely Cupids – Kelly’s late husband and Zane, a rough and tumble,
19th century cowboy. When a Fallen Angel decides to tear Kelly and James apart,
cherubs and harps aren’t going to cut it, and Zane’s unique skills might be
just what they need to get a second chance at their first love.
“Grace and Janie
bullied me into signing up on one of those social networks, and I’m wondering
if anyone’s tried to get in touch with me.” She flashed a bright smile at her
old friend. “I sent a friend request to Susie Davidson, and I want to see if
she’s responded.”
“Susie
Davidson,” Grace’s voice dripped with disdain. “We didn’t badger you into doing
this so you could reconnect with Susie Davidson.”
“Hey, what’ve
you got against old Susie? She was an integral part of our nerd squad in high
school,” David said. “Right, Kel?”
When she didn’t
reply, he glanced over at his old friend to see her frozen at her computer; all
the color drained from her face. “Kel, what’s wrong?”
“I didn’t hear
from Susie, but I did get a message from James Flynn,” she whispered.
David jumped to
his feet and peeked over her shoulder at the computer screen. “Yummy James
Flynn from Rye?”
Grace snickered.
“Sounds like a sandwich. I’ll have a Yummy James Flynn on rye. Hold the mayo.”
Kelly and David
swung their heads in unison to stare at her.
“What? It’s not
my fault you two come from a town named after a bread.”
David shook his
head mournfully and intoned, “Californians.”
“Native, baby.”
The blonde woman grinned playfully. “And don’t you New England Yankees forget
it.”
“What does he
say, Kel?” David asked with interest.
Kelly gulped.
“He wants to get in touch and maybe meet for a drink.” She twisted her head to
look up at David, her eyes huge in her pale face. “He lives here, David. In San
Diego.”
“Oh. My. God.
You have to meet him, and if you don’t, I will,” David said.
He managed to
bring a small smile to Kelly’s previously stunned face. “I don’t think you’re
his type. Sorry.”
“What do you
mean? He prefers brunettes?” David winked. “A man can hope—you don’t have to be
such a dream dasher, Kel.”
“Is there a
picture?” Grace asked, as she strolled over with her wine. “I’ve got to see the
man who’s got David drooling, and you looking like you’re about to pass out.”
“I’m not
drooling,” David protested.
“Oh, please,
darling.” Grace pretended to wipe the corner of his mouth with a cocktail
napkin.
“Okay. Maybe
slight droolage, but James Flynn is totally drool-worthy. At least he used to
be. Is there a picture of him now?”
Kelly shook her
head. “Nope. Not much of anything on his profile, it looks like he just
registered.”
David raised his
eyebrows. “And he contacted you right away? In-ter-es-ting.”
Grace got the
bottle of wine from the terra cotta bottle holder on the kitchen island, which
separated Kelly’s computer area from the kitchen in the large open living
space. She topped off all of their glasses.
“Call me Nancy
Drew, but I sense a mystery here. What’s the story with Yummy James Flynn from
Rye?

I loved this
book! Well-developed characters and a unique story that's a breath of fresh air
among a sea of same-old same-old offerings. So many stories follow one of a few
basic plots, but Angels Fly takes a charmingly different tack. You'll laugh and
you'll cheer. If you're looking for a good read, look no further -- and let's
hope there's more to come from Zane and company.

It more than met
my expectations ! Great read - great escape book. Loved the twists and turns!
Great characters and great story. Enjoyed the setting in San Diego too. Take a
moment and check out this book ! Enjoy.
After years
working in the business world, my love of reading led me to get my MLS, and I
currently work part-time in a school library, a job that allows me lots of time
to explore my other love - writing romance! I live in Maryland, with my
husband, who is my real-life romance hero. We both enjoy traveling to visit our
far-flung family and friends, and spending time on the beach with an umbrella
drink and a good book.
