Synopsis:

Penelope Ashton is a passionate young writer with too much experience with the wrong men; and, Jack Kirkpatrick-lover of the ocean and seeker of the father who abandoned him as a child-is a shrimperman still searching for happiness. When the two fall in love, it is a relationship marked with change and loss.

Meeting his estranged father and getting in trouble for a crime he didn't commit, Jack must choose between happiness and heartache. Striving to give Penny her dreams of becoming a published author, will he lose her forever to the murderer who is stalking him?

Traveling back roads, beaches, and the Gulf waters, More Than Angels is a romance that launches the reader into the terror of a deadly drug ring and a blistering summer of love in a southern town. When love is at stake, sometimes it takes more than angels to save it.
 

SRR GRADE:  B
 

Set in and around Alabama, Texas and the Gulf Coast More Than Angels paints a clear picture of the local color. You can hear the soft southern drawl, smell the saltiness in the air and even feel the ocean breeze on your skin. LeeAnn Ward tells this story of love, betrayal, and the search for happiness very well. Her characters are believable and pull on your heartstrings. Though the dialogue doesn’t quite ring true the story is powerful enough to hold your interest.

Penny has admired Jack from afar for a very long time, but having dated her best friend she considered him off limits. Jack had other ideas, drawn to Penny like a moth to a flame, he found the one woman he was ready to give his heart to, but things are never as simple as they seem.

More Than Angels is filled with plot twists and turns and you’re never really sure who the bad guys really are until you get to the end of the book. The love Penny and Jack feel for each other is sweet and they are so very deserving of the fulfillment of their hopes and dreams – but will they be able to attain them? You’ll have to read this sweet and suspenseful novel to find out!
