Lucinda is 17 years old and elopes with a rake. He is actually abducting her and his intention is to demand a ransom from her father. As Lucinda wards off his advances, he accidentally dies and she escapes. But on the way home, she catches chill and is on the death bed. The angels could not decide if she should go to heaven or hell. So they come up with a plan. If she changes the unfeeling, rake, gambler, womanizer Keiren, earl of Somerfield into a good man, she will go to heaven, otherwise she will go to hell.

The story is actually how she brings a change in Kerry's heart. It is a lovely story. It touched my heart. The change in Kerry is not sudden and it does not appear false. He changes gradually and they both fall in love gradually. Once he changes, what a man he becomes! The ending speech by Kerry brought tears to my eyes. I could feel their true love. I loved the book. It was an excellent read and five stars for it.

A very different kind of book! I've never read anything like this one before!

Not so perfect, not quite dead Lucinda is on a mission to save a soul from Hell -- her own! But to do this she must reform a rake (Kerry), who in the end was not so bad.

This book was so interesting, I finished it in a day. And it brought tears to my eyes in the end. Unique way of showing how Kerry's backsliding affects the "angel" Lucinda -- her clothing (or lack of) is the indicator! Well worth reading - and a KEEPER!!

P.S. I don't think what Lucinda did was bad enough to put her in Hell ... but then there would be no story!!

This is a surprisingly charming book. The heroine is fine but the hero is the interesting character as an unabashed rake with a secret heart of gold. It's an offbeat regency but well worth the read.

I bought this book a while ago from Amazon after reading the reviews about it and thought it would a interesting read. Finally having read it I was pleased I came across this lovely story and purchased it!

It was a different kind of regency romance tale which I loved and could not put it down until I had finished. Seventeen year old Lucinda, on the verge of death must reform a rake, Kerry, in order for her to be accepted into heaven. The Heroine and the Hero worked very well together and I loved how they gradually fell in love. By the end I was very tearful at his declaration of love to Lucinda.

This little story is one to keep!

An Angel for the Earl is one of the most lovely romantic love stories I have ever read, it is story about redemption and love, I would recommend this book to anyone

Barbara Metzger's comedic style takes a little getting used to at first, especially if you are used to the traditional regencies, but once you settle in to it you are completely rewarded. This is a marvellous, light hearted and humourous tale. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

A different twist on a Regency novel, but I enjoyed it. When I first started reading the book, I almostput it down without finishing it, but all of a sudden I couldn't put it down and was very tearful by the end. I highly recommend this novel for anyone who enjoys reading Regency novels...

Barbara Metzger does it again with this light entertaining comedy. A woman who is on the verge of death is sent to save a dissolute earl. If she succeeds she goes to heaven if not - well you can guess the alternative. I laughed out loud as I read this charming tale.
