Review: Worth the time it took to read

This was an easy read - I finished it in an afternoon. A sweet story with very few twists to the plot, it was exactly what I was in the mood to read - light with a  predictable ending (which isn't a bad thing!) and everyone got what they justly deserved.The reason for the three stars is the explicit descriptions of sexual encounters that seemed to go on for much too long and seemed out of place in a story that is built around an angel, her angel guide and their mission to save someone's mortal soul. This isn't a preachy book - couldn't be considered "Christian" in theme, but the sexual explicitness tarnished the sweetness of the story for me. I skipped over a great number of the pages in  order to get to the next scene.There are characters mentioned in the story that were not as fully developed as I would have liked to see. For example, a maid was mentioned as having played an important role in the mortal's childhood experience, but then just disappeared with any resolution.Still an OK read for a lazy summer afternoon! I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
