Pestilence!

Wanna waste your money? Buy a book with no plot, no chemistry and no spark. You will NEVER say that about this book, nor this author.Kathleen Kane always comes thru for me. When I need an "ahhhh" moment in my life, I pull one of her novels down and read it again. When I need a laugh, I pick up my tattered but oh-so-loved copies of Ms. Kane's many works. When the Halo Falls is yet another keeper. I just wish I could have her cloaned so that she could write a book each month!Patience Goodfellow will thrill you. She will touch you in places you never knew you had. Brady Shaw is the type of hero that makes you root for him and wanna shake some sense into him at the same time. What I love about this novel is that you also grow to love each person in it. Lily, the former lady of evening, grew on me and I rooted for her "lawful" love.You won't waste good money with this author, that is for sure!

Kathleen Kane Does it Again!

engaging historical fantasy romance

Though she is his guardian angel, Patience Goodfellow loves Brady Shaw. She has loved him ever since she took over when he was eleven from three "fallen" angels who were tired of the impossible assignment. Everyone in heaven knows Patience loves Brady in spite of his being a womanizing gambler. Though her superiors do not want Patience to reveal her identity to Brady, she strongly feels this is the right time to straighten out her ward that she believes hides a heart of gold. In 1885 Fortune, New Mexico Patience sets her plan in motion, but is accidentally knocked out with her halo removed. Patience suffers amnesia forgetting that she is a two-century-old angel. Instead she believes she is Brady's mortal fiancé. Brady laughs at her contention, but is stunned when she knows things about him that no one but he knows. As Brady falls in love with his angel, Patience regains her memory and is willing to move heaven and earth for an eternity with Brady. WHEN THE HALO FALLS is an engaging historical fantasy romance that will leave the audience believing in angels. The story line is amusing as a bewildered and often irate Brady feels devilish when Patience leaves his shoulder for his heart. Fans of fantasy and historical romance tales will share in common the belief that Kathleen Kane is their special angel sent from up above to provide infinitely vogue novels that readers love.Harriet Klausner
