Plot Summary of An Angel for Emily
"After being stood up by her fiance Emily hit her guardian angel with her car. While he appears to be unhurt Michael Tells her that he has been sent to save her. Why would an angel be sent from heaven to save a small town librarian and from what."
sandra, Resident Scholar

"A librian, Emily, is stood up by her reporter fiancee, and in her distress, hits an angel. The angel, Michael, is on a special assignment to see who is out to harm Emily, who he had been the guardian angel of for centuries. He loves her deeply. There is mystery and suspense, and a little bit of disturbing sex, (sex with an angel while his "wings" wrap around their naked bodies) and of course a happy ending. I did like this book, but could have done without the sex scene.. good thing there was only one."
Kathleen, Resident Scholar
