How cynical and jaded has the world made you? Do you still believe in things unseen? Do you have faith? Hope hides from the unforgiving world in her very own fantasy world of books. She loves the escapism that the paranormal world provides her. She isn’t Barbie doll figure that society would like her to be. She’s also past her 20’s, unmarried, and the proverbial cat lady.Gabriel is God’s messenger angel. That’s right, the archangel Gabriel, that’s the one. God has given him a new mission, one he is unsure of. How is an angel that has existed since the dawn of man, supposed to learn how to fall in love and become human? To no longer be an angel? He has no idea why he has been put on this path. But he is soon to find out.While working at the library in the children’s section, Hope begins to become suspicious of the extremely handsome man that continues to show up and stare at her all day. What does he want? She soon gets the gist of his intentions with his very forward approach. He informs her that he is there to pursue her, although she isn’t sure why.As Hope and Gabriel begin to chat and spend time together, things start to seem stranger and stranger to her. Even so, she finds him lovely to be around, and she loves his old fashioned manners and charm. Therefore she allows more time to pass with him.Gabriel is quite unsure of his emotions and what they mean to him, so how can he tell if he is heading towards success in his last mission from his boss. Then when things start to get complicated and other intrusions become a problem for them both, they start to realize they’re budding romance could be put to an end.I really enjoyed this blossoming, exploring relationship as it progressed. I like how this story has its uniqueness, which sets it apart from any other paranormal romance of its kind. I wonder what might be in store for the rest of Anne’s Four Winds series.
