5.0 out of 5 stars Wish There Were More Like This!, Jan 28 2002

This review is from: Almost An Angel (Paperback)

I read all of the reviews before I bought this book. I really didn't believe the book would be as good as everyone said, but thought I would check it out for myself. This book was even better than everyone claimed! I started and finished in the same day and not one bit of housework got done that day. It kept my attention from the first page to the last. Even when you thought you knew what was going to happen.. you didn't. She just kept surprising you.

3.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful story....., Jan 12 1999

This review is from: Almost An Angel (Paperback)

Deb Stover, takes an engaging idea and weaves a wonderful story. The plot and Zach & Hilary's story are worth reading. My biggest disappointment is in the writing itself. There was vey little description, and the plot flies along. One minute Zach arrives in his deserted ghosttown, and the next day they are madly in love, declaring their undying devotion to each other. (Besides the fact that Zach thinks Hilary is certifiably crazy.)

Ms. Stover also tackles the disease of alcohalism. This is a very tough topic, especially in a romance novel, and she does a commendable job. I don't know how accurate some of the ideas she portrays are (like getting someone to stop, and so vehemently, just by talking to them for a few minutes, it usually takes a bigger impetus than that), but the idea that she tries, is great. Showing Zach's fight against wanting to take a drink when things get bad, is heartwrenching. Definitely worth reading for a "pick me up".

5.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate Decadence, Nov 10 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Almost An Angel (Paperback)

I will never think of chocolate ice cream the same way again. This book sizzles with sensuality, but at the same time it delivers a poignant social message without the preaching. Alcoholism is a disease, and this author handles the issue with finesse. Great book!
