I’ve heard from numerous book loving friends how good this book is, but I couldn’t imagine quite how good it is. I would give this 6/5 stars if I could! At nearly 400 pages, it would seem like a long read... but nope, I read this straight through and was enchanted by Evelyn the entire time. Every single page had me immersed in her life in the very best way. The end had me ugly crying and then left with an odd mix of loss and contentment. This is a MUST read and will certainly be in my top favs for years to come.

Jane has always seen herself as "plain Jane". Her job as a nanny for one of America's richest and most outlandish families, the Thanes, hasn't helped with that self-reflection. But she sure does love little Teddy and she is his sole protector. But when Jane finds herself in the middle of of one of the Thanes' hair-brained attention seeking schemes, she realizes that she many not be able to protect Teddy alone. Good thing she won't have to... Chance always focuses on the mission and he's good at his job. His golden touch has earned him the moniker "Midas". Will Jane be his ultimate distraction or give him more reason to ensure the mission succeeds? Suffering through some harrowing near death experiences bring Jane and Chance together when they live worlds apart.

My favorite thing about Chance is that he insists Jane see herself the way he does. He insists that she trusts that he sees hers for who she really is.

“Cheers to those who have seen us at our worst and our best but can’t tell the difference.”

“There will always be people who do not see your worth. Don’t let one of them be you.”

If you are a Cristin Harber fanatic, this book won't disappoint! It is filled with action and suspense, a butterfly-inducing hero, and a match made in heaven that her books always deliver perfectly.

Would you agree to seeing your husband only on Thursdays? Could you share your husband with two other wives? A story that starts out with an intriguing and complex yet off putting relationship between three women and one man turns into something more. What is real and what are you imagining by filling in the gaps? Who can you trust, if not yourself?
About every 30 pages I felt the need to give my husband a play by play and would continue to say out loud “what the hell is going on?” I loved the fact that the Thursday wife was the narrator and we viewed reality from her perspective.

Greylyn is a guardian angel, Kael is a dark guardian angel — it seems fate has put them on opposite sides, but is there more written in their destiny? Greylyn fights to protect her charges, keeping them safe from the darker world. She also fights to control her increasing pull towards Kael. Can opposite sides work together? For hundreds of year he’s been working against her, fighting against her, but through it all they continue to gravitate towards one another. When Greylyn finds herself up against not only a dark guardian but a fallen archangel, she must make a deal with the devil (or something like that) in order to protect a woman and her unborn child. This particular archangel wants her to fulfill a prophecy that she doesn’t understand. If both heaven and hell want this prophecy stopped, what could it mean?

I throughly enjoyed this book. The push and pull between Kael and Greylyn was just wonderful! You might just find yourself wishing that not all dark angels are bad! This book does leave us wondering, but in the very best way! The plot was well constructed and we know just enough about the characters to understand them and continue asking questions. I cannot wait until the next book in the series is out, I need more Kael and Greylyn in my life!
