Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
art farce and part inspirational romance, this fanciful fable chronicles the misadventures of Patience Goodfellow, a willful guardian angel who possesses all-too-human urges. For the first time in her 200 years of angel guardianship, Patience has fallen in love. Unfortunately, the object of her affections is her mortal charge, saloon owner and notorious ex-gunslinger Brad Shaw. When she breaks a heavenly rule and removes her halo for a short stint, making herself visible to the human eye, she's accidentally knocked unconscious and stranded on Earth. Upon waking, all of her memories of being an angel have vanished, and the one thing she's certain of is that she's engaged to Brad. Naturally, Brad comes to the conclusion that the stormy-eyed stranger claiming to be his betrothed must be mentally disturbed, but he finds it baffling that she seems to know everything about him and the other residents in Fortune, N.Mex. Although Brad tries to distance himself from his persistent "fiance," passion takes over when he and the wayward angel are stranded alone together in a remote cottage. Readers who enjoy rosy, paranormal romances will delight in this bit of fluff, but others may be put off by the novel's headstrong hero and irreverent tenor.

Pestilence!,
By Paula Smith (Friendship, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When the Halo Falls (Mass Market Paperback)
Wanna waste your money? Buy a book with no plot, no chemistry and no spark. You will NEVER say that about this book, nor this author.Kathleen Kane always comes thru for me. When I need an "ahhhh" moment in my life, I pull one of her novels down and read it again. When I need a laugh, I pick up my tattered but oh-so-loved copies of Ms. Kane's many works. When the Halo Falls is yet another keeper. I just wish I could have her cloaned so that she could write a book each month! Patience Goodfellow will thrill you. She will touch you in places you never knew you had. Brady Shaw is the type of hero that makes you root for him and wanna shake some sense into him at the same time. What I love about this novel is that you also grow to love each person in it. Lily, the former lady of evening, grew on me and I rooted for her "lawful" love. You won't waste good money with this author, that is for sure!
