"Jim Heron has become a fallen angel after a freak accident at work kills him and angels give him a second chance at redemption. It is explained to him that he is the one person chosen by both sides (good and evil) to play the game deciding what happens to humanity. Jim doesn’t believe he has it in him to hold the fate of humanity on his shoulders, but he agrees to give it a go. His first task is to save the soul of Vin DiPietro; a man who is all about self-preservation and showing off his accomplishments.<br/><br/>Added to this scenario, Marie-Therese is a high class prostitute. She works nights for Trez at a club in order to save enough money to pay off her debts and begin a new life with her son. After her divorce, she established a new identity for both herself and her son in the hopes that her ex-husband would never be able to find them. Marie-Therese is afraid to trust or love again. When she meets Vin DiPietro there is instant attraction, but will that be enough to help Marie-Therese overcome her fears?<br/><br/>J.R. Ward is most widely known due to her hugely popular series, The Black Dagger Brotherhood. Some of the characters in this new series were first introduced to us through the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The setting for the series is in the Brotherhood’s Caldwell and the difference between the two is that the main characters are not aware that vampires exist. This is purely about a struggle between good and evil and which side will overcome the other to reign supreme. One of the brothers (Phury) makes a cameo appearance in this book, but if you are unfamiliar with the Brotherhood series you will miss the subtle remarks as he is never mentioned by name.<br/><br/>What I love about J.R. Ward is her ability to create realistic characters that readers can whole-heartedly identify with! I would recommend reading the Brotherhood series before this one simply because that is where Marie-Therese is introduced and although it does not give you an in-depth background of her life in that series, it helps to explain the world that she is unaware she lives in. Once you dive into the world of Caldwell and all it has to offer you will be wearily waiting for the next novel of either series, as I am."
