Mrs. Raine English is a very talented author, who writes romance and Gothic romance novels with some magic and sometimes the paranormal. The romance in theses stories is amazing and very real. The characters are well thought out and brought to life. The back ground for these characters is well described and feels real. You can almost believe that this really happened.I really enjoyed this book and couldn't wait to finish it, not because it was terrible, but because I was dying to know what was going to happen. The main character is Alice Hart and the main man is Jack Billings. Alice is ninety years old and she has never been married. She was engaged once, but her fiance died before they could get married.Right before Christmas Alice gets a visit form an angel which is also the Christmas trees' topper. The angel gives Alice a second chance to find true love, but she only has ten days to do so, or else, she will die. So, Alice is twenty-five again and beautiful.Jack has had a bad relationship in the past and doesn't want to fall for an artificial girl again. He wants an old fashioned girl like his land lady Alice Hart (not that I'm saying he wants her, just someone like her).Could Jack and Alice who is pretending to be Ally, Alices' niece from New York, have a chance together? Jack doesn't trust Ally, many things in her story just don't add up. So he decides to find out what happened to Alice. Could Ally be a scam artist or worse? (Goodreads description: [...]This has a little bit of sex in it. It does not go into great and graphic detail, but still if you don't like that kind of thing, then don't read this. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED! I myself like a little sex in the books I read. I think it keeps things interesting. I do not like it when it is graphic and that is all that there is.The love story between Ally (Alice) and Jack is very sweet at times, though to be honest there are times I want to kill both of them. You will probably understand if you read this. For me when I finished this story I was left wanting more.This is currently the second book I have read by Raine English. I really liked her other book Date With a Vampire (my review here: [...] The way she entwines romance, magic and the paranormal is amzaing and it really is good reading. She is quite quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I am currently reading her book Mistress of Raghery (Goodreads description here: [...] I will do a blog post/review on it once I finish reading it. It should be up either Thursday or Friday.There were a few times when reading Tin angel that I felt like maybe something different should have happened, but all in all I really liked this and will more than likely read it again. I think I will. I definatly recommend this book to whoever is interested.This is the first book in the Romance Reborn Holiday series. I do not know when the next book will be out.
