This is the third brilliant book that I've read in just over a week...that's amazing!  This is only the second book by Jade Lee that I've read.  The first, a novella, was a 4 star read for me, entitledThe Groom's Gamble: A Novella, which is currently being offered for free on Amazon.  This book is a most unusual one...a pre-angel working to earn her wings, who time travels from life to life, trying to help people find love.  What a plot!The book is well written, although there are a number of editing errors and a few formatting problems that I noticed.  However, that did not in any way detract from my enjoyment of the story...furthermore, I have to wonder if those problems occurred as a result of the book being converted from print to Kindle format.  In any case, the characters are so amazingly well drawn, they almost seemed a live!Carolly is a wonderful heroine.  When she pops up in  James' life she has been beaten within an inch of her life...broken ribs, bruises, you name it, she has it.  Nevertheless, within a day of being found by James she is the picture of health!  Carolly tells James the most amazing story...she's a pre-angel; a soul that's working her way towards her wings.  In the past ten years she's had four or five reincarnations...it's hard to keep track because Carolly's memories get fuzzy and confused at times.Anyhow, in her first life Carolly was a party girl, selfish, carefree and careless, arrogant, and thoughtless, her actions deeply hurt the people she loved most...her baby sister and parents.  When she was killed in a car accident, Carolly then found herself in the first of a number of new lives.  Each life ends in death, then she moves on to the next.  Throughout her journey, Carolly has learned that she is working towards her wings, and that it is her "job" to help the first person she encounters in each life, find love.Needless to say, James things she's a total nutcase!  Nevertheless, he is drawn to the crazy beauty, and against all odds love blossoms between the two.  James is a most amazing hero!  At first he comes across as haughty, arrogant, and even cold, but he is anything but.  He's kind, thoughtful, responsible, serious...just plain amazing!  The complete opposite from Carolly's carefree personality.  The story that unfolds is enthralling, with some surprising twists and turns.  It kept me wondering...is Carolly really a pre-angel, or is she just a raving lunatic, albeit a lovable one?  LOL  The story is also romantic, with LOL humor, and even has a bit of intrigue interwoven.As Carolly works her magic on James, he finds himself laughing more, developing a close and loving relationship with his ten-year old niece, Margaret, and generally enjoying life.  James and Carolly are wonderful together...and he is especially wonderful with her!  Even believing Carolly is mad, James can't help but love her.  He wants to help her, to keep her with him, and to spend the rest of his life with her, but there are obstacles, lots and lots of obstacles, not the least of which is her apparent insanity.This is a wonderful book.  I loved it and would highly recommend it as a worthwhile read.  FYI, this is not a clean romance, although the love scene is not overly described and is easily skipped.  There are a couple of other sensual scenes aside from the erotic one, but again not overly described and easily skipped.  Happy reading!
