Publisher Description
In the last ten years, Carolly Hanson has died six times. First in a car crash, then of TB. Beaten, stoned, and shot in the back. The last time, she suffocated from pneumonia.
Now she's awake, again, and in the arms of James Oscar Henry Northram, Earl of Traynern.
Carolly Hanson must be in training to be an angel. Why else would she keep dying and reappearing in different places and times? Clearly she is to help people, help them find true love, if she is to win her wings.
And the handsome Earl, clearly a stiff-backed, dark-brooding man of means, will be her next victim—er, beneficiary.
James Oscar Henry Northram is fascinated by Carolly's odd sense of humor, and compelled by her strange forthright manner and complete lack of interest in trapping him into marriage.
He also thinks poor Carolly is a Bedlam escapee and isn't the least bit interested in the women she keeps pushing in his direction.
Why must Carolly be forced to suffer death only to live again? Could the answer be as close as his embrace?
REVIEWS:
"A refreshingly unique "time travel" (loosely speaking) for fans who delight in something rather different." ~Harriet Klausner, Amazon.com #1 reviewer
"Light, airy and sometimes deadly serious. An intriguing tale." ~Rendezvous Reviews Online

This author captures emotional juice in her writing. Yes, other aspects of her writing are flawed but still I find her books delightful.
In this story, Carolly has died and been reincarnated 6 or so times. Her memories of her past lives are unstable, but she thinks she is a pre-angel and her task is to help her charges to find love. James, an Earl, finds her half dead, and becomes enthralled by her. She is so different to other women of this time. She tells them about Waterloo and some of the details before it happens. She is also discovered to be a girl escaped from an insane asylum, and this personality gradually dominates, but James helps her refind the other parts of her personality. When Waterloo does happen James is freaked, then humbled. A murder attempt by his heir kills her, but she is rewarded in her success, by being allowed to go back and finishing this life with James before becoming an angel.
Like I said, a clumsy story yet the author has emotional magic that delights me.
