I haven't given five stars in a long time, but I simply loved Donovan's Angel (both the book and the character) so much, that I felt I had to give it that rating. In fact, I'd call Paul Donovan absolutely YUMMY (even if he is a minister) since he is so caring and compassionate to everyone and especially so towards Martie. Martie was an absolutely marvelous character; she was so warm-hearted, loving and spontaneous (I adored the Holloween pageant!) that I could see why she was so irresistible to Paul. Let's not forget Martie's wonderful pets, Baby the golden retriever puppy and Aristocat, a haughty Siamese cat who were very much a part of the story. The imagery was absolutely outstanding; it was so vivid and realistic that I would recognize the characters if I met them on the street. The dialogue was very authentic and fun to read and both the writing and editing were done very well and the story flowed smoothly from beginning to end. This story was not sexually explicit but it did show the passion between Paul and Martie. (Don't worry, nothing really happened until they were married.) in fact, I have only one problem with the story and that is that Paul smokes a pipe and this was seen as a good thing.  Altogether, reading this story was a rollicking good time and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes romance with a capital "R."
