Today's guest in My Writing Corner, Donna Simonetta, brings us a new romance with all the best elements of a fun summer romance read. Donna is a Maryland author who spent most of her life in the business world, got her MLS and worked in a school library. She enjoys travelling but she also enjoys curling up with a good book.
She is also a writer at heart, which is what she is doing now. She says she enjoys writing contemporary romance and fantasy. Today's featured book, Angels Fly, is a product of that mix and it sounds like a fun way to spend a summer afternoon.
Two
years after her husband’s death, Kelly believes her romantic life is done.
Until she reconnects with her girlhood crush on social media, and as fate would
have it, he lives across the street.
James
is over the whole true-love thing. His grasping ex-wife tore that belief out of
him, when she left him for a rich, old man. Then he finds out his first love
moved to San Diego too, and their attraction burns as hot as ever.
What
they don’t know is that Fate didn’t bring them together – the Guardian Angel
Corps did, led by two unlikely Cupids – Kelly’s late husband and Zane, a rough
and tumble, 19th century cowboy. When a Fallen Angel decides to tear
Kelly and James apart, cherubs and harps aren’t going to cut it, and Zane’s
unique skills might be just what they need to get a second chance at their
first love.
Want more? As someone who spent several years enjoying the romantic tug of San Diego, I say let's get an excerpt!
She flashed a bright smile at her old friend, “I sent a friend request to Susie Davidson,
and I want to see if she’s responded.”
“Susie Davidson,” Grace’s voice dripped with
disdain, “we didn’t badger you into doing this so you could reconnect with Susie Davidson.”
“Hey, what’ve you got against old Susie? She
was an integral part of our nerd squad in high school,” David said. “Right,
Kel?”
When she didn’t reply, he glanced over at his
old friend to see her frozen at her computer, all the color drained from her
face. “Kel, what’s wrong?”
“I didn’t hear from Susie, but I did get a message from James Flynn,” she
whispered.
David jumped to his feet and peeked over her
shoulder at the computer screen. “Yummy James Flynn from Rye?”
Grace snickered, “Sounds like a sandwich. I’ll
have a Yummy James Flynn on rye. Hold the mayo.”
Kelly and David swung their heads in unison to
stare at her.
“What? It’s not my fault you two come from a
town named after a bread.”
David shook his head mournfully and intoned,
“Californians.”
“Native, baby.” The blonde woman grinned playfully, “And
don’t you New England Yankees forget it.”
“What does he say, Kel?” David asked with
interest.
Kelly gulped, “He wanted to get in touch and
maybe meet for a drink.” She twisted her
head to look up at David, her eyes huge on her pale face, “He lives here,
David. In San Diego.”
