D.J. Halloran didn't believe in love. She'd just seen to much heartache - in her work as a police officer and in her own life. And she'd vowed a long time ago never to let anyone get close enough to hurt her, even if that someone was the very captivating, very handsome Chris McCall.

But D.J. also had an angel - a special guardian determined,at any cost, to teach D.J. the magic of love. So try as she might to resist Chris's many charms, D.J. knew she was in for an even tougher battle because of her exasperating heavenly companion's persistent faith in the power of love.

This review is from: D.J.'s Angel (Love Spell) (Paperback)

JOSIE is the 'ditzy' guardian angel. Her mission: to teach D.J. how to love at any cost. THE CATCH--she's not allowed to tell D.J. that she's her mother who died in childbirth.

Officer D.J. HALLORAN is hot on the trail of the gang who's been selling guns to kids. Unfortunately, she got stuck with 'babysitting' the civilian after she shot at a trigger-happy kid.

CHRIS MCCALL is a children's writer doing some research about police/police procedures for his next book. He has waited all his life for a lifetime of love with his true soulmate. Things suddenly heat up as it becomes apparent to D.J. that he's become a target...

D.J. wants nothing to do with love--that bringer of pain & wrecker of lives. Determined to give her a push in the right direction, Josie does her darnest to set her up with Chris. When Chris finally realizes that D.J. is his soulmate, can she hold out against the double-team?

I've got only 3 minor complaints: 1)There are a few language slips which I found incongruous with this contemporary setting. Like, does anybody still curse with "hell's bells" or say "courtesan" nowadays? 2)I found myself liking Josie's character/personality a lot more than D.J.'s. 3)The scene just before everything explodes could've been more intense.
