Review: Erotica with an actual story

I'm just coming up for air after reading about 6 of this author's books.  This is a standalone from any of the other books she's written and although there is the touch of paranormal to it, it's not scifi/fantasy based and has not 1, but three heroes to our 1 heroine.  Although at times you must suspend disbelief, it was a great story that pulls at the heartstrings.  It starts off very sad and along the way, builds to an erotic and passionate relationship.Lily died when she was 17 years old under excruciating circumstances.  As an angel, every now and again, Lily is sent to families to help them heal and when they no longer need Lily, she ends up tragically dying.  Lily tries to remain as remote as possible since she knows her time with the families are very short lived, but when the three Cunnings brothers meet her, it becomes impossible for her to hide her true feelings and for the first time in almost 100 years, Lily grabs at the chance to actually live, no matter how short a time she'll have.I find this author is very good at not only writing erotic romance novels, but adding a story that's entirely engaging with depth beyond what you'd expect to simply get the characters on.  This story is unlike most of her other stories in that there isn't the sassy, sprited heroine, but it does have a strong and caring woman who endures incredible sadness, but also experiences great joy and love.  As a short story at under 200 pages, there is more that could have been added to build the relationships as opposed to the big bang, love at first site, but there's enough there to keep you engaged and entertained all the way through.  My personal disbelief was really more focused on a place where it's acceptable to have multiple loves since I'm more of a one man one woman fan myself, but I still enjoyed the story.
