Angel Unaware

"Angel Unaware" by Sinclair, Elizabeth, published by Medallion Press. Dora de Angelo was never supposed to be an angel—her soul was sent to the wrong place—and she has always wanted to be a mortal. Maybe that's why she is one of the most inept angels the Celestial Maintenance Department has had the misfortune to employ. At long last, Dora has received her mission and is sent to Earth. For the three weeks prior to Christmas she must show a man how find his faith in family and help a little girl to become a child again after a terrible tragedy strikes her family. This is not going to be easy. But when Dora reaches Earth, she finds it even more wonderful than she imagined: she finds family, discovers love, and begins to hope for a future she's only dreamed of.From Publishers WeeklySeasoned romance writer Sinclair (Into the Mist) sends an accident-prone angel to earth in this holiday heart-warmer. After Dora overpolishes a fellow angel's halo and sends another tumbling off a cloud, she begs to become mortal. Her superior angel grants her wish, but only until Christmas, assigning her to act as a nanny to six-year-old orphan Penny and help Penny's uncle, Tony, learn how to love again. Lighthearted humor is interspersed with romance as Dora learns how to drive and cook and earns the affection of her charges. While the burgeoning romance between Dora and Tony is intense, their physical relationship is gently glossed over, a feature that will appeal to many readers of holiday fare. Sinclair's smooth, succinct writing and memorable characters will keep readers engaged all the way to the charming twist conclusion. (Dec.)
