'Be careful what you wish for, you don't know whose listening and it may come true'

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review and I must say I really enjoyed reading this to my daught. It's not often that she will stay focus for a long story like this, but she did...she loved it

Such a nice book, writing is so clear and its such an easy book to read.

Young children will adore Pippy as she can't help getting into mishaps and so its quite amusing at the same time

Pippy was an angel-in-training trying to graduate and Lucy was her Guardian Angel training her and making sure she didn't get into any trouble.

Pippy wants to get her Angelic wings, but trouble is didnt know how to fly and when she's granted one wish, asks for another.

Poor Pippy, so accident prone....but lucky for her Lucy is always with her, even when Pippy thinks she isn't. An angel will never leave you know matter what you do.

There is also a couple of very nice surprises at the end of this wonderful angelic book which was very unexpected indeed

Thanks so much Maddie for letting me read this to my daught and I would be honoured to read more stories to her like this. Maddie, you have created a very wonderful and sweet book...well done

This novel was sent me by The Romance Man and the author, for an honest review.

This novel is classified as Contemporary Romance. In my opinion, this is so much more than that. It has romance yes, and a very good one. It also has laughter, tears, mystery, and difficult family issues. The first few chapters are laugh out loud funny. At one point Alex explains that Maddie is “Like Lucille Ball on Red Bull”.
Maddie Saunders is a travel journalist who specializes in adventure travel. Biking, hiking, and zip lining are some examples. Her close friend is Alex Donovan. He is an investigative journalist, hopping from one dangerous hot spot in the world to another. Alex and Maddie have been friends for six years, and now against her better judgment, she is going to try and convince him to join her in a casual affair. They are both being sent on an assignment to Hawaii, so Maddie decides it is the perfect place for a seduction. She is also on a continuing quest to find her biological father. Her mother refuses to tell her. One of several reasons their relationship is strained.
The story goes on with our couple in Hawaii. While she works her seductive powers on Alex, other things are happening around them. There are twists and turns in this story, that definitely make it intriguing. Ms. Robins also focuses on the plight of numerous children and adults, trying desperately to find an unknown father or mother for medical issues, and also just the mental anguish of wanting to know there family roots.There were a couple chapters near the end which would have worked as a logical conclusion. Ms. Robins chose to let the novel draw to a different, and more satisfying conclusion. I would recommend this novel, first of all to anyone who loves chocolate. Maddie is a chocoholic, and there are several references throughout the book. This story pulled at my heart, my mind, and my funny bone. I laughed and cried my way through it. It goes back on my shelf, to be read again. Thanks you Ms. Robins for the pleasure of reading this wonderful novel.
