Angel Gets Her Wings

Rating NR Genre adult Author Kat Duarte Publisher Eternal Press

It’s Christmas Eve and cherub-in-waiting, or rather seraphim wannabe, Angel Martinez O’Reilly, has her work cut out for her. She’s got to get through the remainder of her “Nice” list in order to be promoted and the pressure is mounting. Her final case is computer geek virgin, Eugene Freeman, who needs to get laid so he’ll gain the inner confidence to propose to his sweetie. A plane doesn’t exactly have a lot of options. Enter Stewardess Jeanie, top resident on Angel’s “Naughty” list. 

Seizing an opportunity to take care of two things at once, Angel arranges for Eugene to join the Mile High Club with Jeanie then have the geek leave the stewardess hanging. A great comeuppance for Jeanie’s constant mistreatment of men. Quite unexpectedly, Angel encounters the captain of the plane, Sean Conlon, who just happens to be Jeanie’s latest train wreck and about to spend Christmas Eve all alone. Not if Angel can help it. In spite of the risk to her heavenly career, Angel adds Sean to her list and proceeds to give him a magical Christmas Eve that helps set him on the course for a very bright future.

This was a sweet and sassy tale that is just perfect for the holiday season. It was wickedly hilarious, at times poignant, but always right on. It never grew maudlin or overly sappy which is what many holiday stories tend to do. Ms. Duarte has a unique and clever style readers will love.
