When Zach Ryan inherits an entire town in the Rocky Mountains, visions of ski resorts dance in his head. He quits his job, packs his gear, and heads for adventure, only to find a falling down ghost town so far off the beaten path scavengers haven't even discovered it. To make matters worse, the only inhabitants are the oh-so-tempting Hilary Brown, who claims she's a ghost from the 19th century, and an overgrown bear that wants to make Zach his next happy meal. Financially and literally stranded at 9,876 feet with winter approaching, Zach is in for a lot more adventure than he anticipated....
I read all of the reviews before I bought this book. I really didn't believe the book would be as good as everyone said, but thought I would check it out for myself. This book was even better than everyone claimed! I started and finished in the same day and not one bit of housework got done that day. It kept my attention from the first page to the last. Even when you thought you knew what was going to happen.. you didn't. She just kept surprising you.

"Almost An Angel" by Deb Stover was a wonderful and sensual book. From the moment Zach and Hillary met, I was on the edge of my seat and could not stop reading until I knew how the story ended. I will definitely read many more books by Deb Stover

I loved this book! Ghosts, angels, time-travel, sizzling love scenes (whoa, chocolate ice cream!), and it made me think about alcoholism, about justice and honor, about disabilities... Great book. Read it!

This book made me laugh, made me cry, and kept me up all night. It touches on the issue of alcoholism and disability without preaching, and I really appreciated that. The humor is laugh out loud funny, and the love scenes are the best I've ever read. Chocolate ice cream anyone?
Almost an Angel by Deb Stover

This book has it all. Adventure, romance, warmth, humor, and depth. The hero, Zach Ryan, is a recovering alcoholic who's just inherited a ghost town. When he arrives, he meets the one and only resident of Columbine, Colorado--Hilary Brown. Hilary was hanged for murder over a century ago, and she's been waiting for someone to serve, in order to earn her way out of Transition and into Heaven. I've never seen time travel, the Afterlife, or a satisfying ending handled this well. Ms. Stover's love scenes absolutely sizzle, and I'll never think of chocolate ice cream quite the same way again. Alcoholism is handled without preaching, though the author's compassion for sufferers of this disease and their loved ones comes through loud and clear. There's also a character with a disability--the heroine's little brother. He's a joy and adds so much to the story! The love between the characters is touching, and it made me cry in places. I loved this book, and I will buy everything this author writes from
