Not as much fantasy/paranormal as I like...

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I requested this book because I was curious about the angelic involvement in the story and how the rule breaking thing would pan out. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more to that side of the story. It mostly centered around the actual couple and their building relationship. It was light hearted and kind of silly. Not really my cup of tea, but I won't dock my rating because it's not my favorite genre. For what it was, I thought it was well written and narrated. Take that as you will.

Cute and sweet

A cute romance with some quirky characters. Not a bad, fun, easy listen. Not usually my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it.

Lighthearted Entertaining Romance!

I really enjoyed this lighthearted, entertaining romantic story. Some of the characters were fun and quirky to say the least and the storyline was quite inventive. I enjoyed the idea of the not so perfect angel trying to prove that she was a good matchmaker and worked so hard to bring Iris and Riley together. This was a very enjoyable story which I have no hesitation in recommending it. Kathleen Miranti does a nice job on all the voices. I received a free copy and am providing an unbiased review.

Where angels shouldn't tred...

This book is really two threads that intersect at various moments. There are two angels in the relationship division of heaven who place a bet that promised to affect their careers for the rest of time. Their pet project, Riley and Iris, two humans who may or may not be soulmates.

It is interesting how the story switches from heaven to earth and back again, several times. The budding romance between fireman Riley and accident prone Iris is sweet and funny. It features a crumbling house, a crooked real estate developer, rambunctious pets and fire. All the while the angels watch, comment and interfere as required.

I enjoy how Jana Richards can make a short audiobook rich with humour, action, emotion and details without making the story overwhelming. Her stories are big on the feel-good factor and don't require a heavy commitment in time. Overall, very enjoyable.
