What is a woman to do when she is trying to move on with her life, but her husband has yet to sign the divorce papers, and now has shown up in her house without a place to live? For Sophie, the choice is to try to pawn him off on another woman so that she can move on with her life. Trouble is that Will is not wanting to move on as much, and he has some deep secrets that could spell major trouble for Sophie if she finds out about them, so he is willing to go along with her dating scheme just to keep his secrets. Take my Husband, Please is a contemporary modern romance story of two sets of best friends, their failed marriages, divorces and friendships. Although there is some humor throughout, it is more a realistic look at modern dating when divorced. Author +Kimberly Jayne  creates a wonderful set of characters that are engaging and worth reading about.

Take My Husband, Please is an adult fiction, definitely rated for the more mature crowd and not for younger readers, but it does hit upon a number of things at the divorced single mother, back in the dating game is going to run into. While the characters are engaging and the banter light-hearted, it is more of a humorous look at life than a romance in the true since. Every time Sophie or Will seems to be getting to a point of interest on a date, something ironic or out of the blue totally ruins the moment, and so it isn't the sizzle romance that you might expect. Good, light reading to get you laughing a little and not thinking, which we all need sometimes.

Always, Angel (Lost Angels, .5) by Heather Killough-Walden

Always, Angel (Lost Angels, .5) 
by Heather Killough-Walden


My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars


Let me start by saying that I read this short novellette, after reading the first three books, which was probably good. Angel is mentioned in each of the three novels, in the same brief manner. She has been an online friend to all of our archess. So from the beginning, even in book one, I had a feeling that Angel was going to play a role at some point.

At this point we learn that Angel learns about each archess through dreams, and then she friends them online, and she also keeps and eye on them in real life without them knowing it. She wants to keep them alive and make sure they met their archangels. She knows the drill, she knows what her purpose is and what she was put here for, sorta.

The thing is she doesn't really want them to get together because once they all do then something called the Cummulation is supposed to start and they are all supposed to be whisked back to heaven and not be here to help the human population anymore, and Angel is big on helping the humans.

We get just enough story to let us understand Angel a little better and to accept her role in all this. We understand the Cummulation a tiny bit better, but I still get the feeling that there is more to it than anyone really knows, and we actually find out who Angel was made for. Now its time to carry on and see what happens.
