Garrick Wolf is an ex-pirate angel who is sent back to Earth to protect a woman marked for death. Soon Garrick is fighting the forces of evil as he battles his desire for Lucy--a desire that could cost him his soul--and Lucy her life.
Off the Barbary Coast in May, 1818, Lord Garrick Asquith-Wolf had just won a hand-to-hand combat with Tully St. Clair, one of the most feared pirates on the seas. Tully escaped. Garrick died only seconds later when he was struck by lightning. To keep his soul from going to Hell, Garrick's Heavenly Guidance Counselor gave him the task of guarding Miss Lucy Hartford. However, he had to remain chaste. The vow was a test. Even so little as a kiss would cut down his time to complete his assigned task.Lucy was determined to prove that Tom was the Earl's long lost son. The Earl's new wife had wanted Tom killed so her own child could be heir. Garrick, Lucy, Tom, and Aunt Cornelia were off to find proof. Lucy's accident-prone tendencies kept causing havoc to the investigation. Her very presence was causing havoc to Garrick's senses! Now throw in a dull fiancé for Lucy, Tully returning, and the [bad guy] deciding to complicate things for the Garrick! This one is funny with all the accidents Lucy causes! Full of adventure, travel, and fights between good and [bad]. The ending is delightful! I strongly recommend this story!
Lots going on in this one!

A Wonderful Love Story

The writting was wonderful. You could actually feel Garrick's pain. Lucy was a very convincing clutzie person. Really made me laugh with her antics. You're asking yourself if Garrick will beat the devil, save Lucy and will they end up together throughout the book. I hope to see more of Garrick and Lucy in future books. Also a story about Beth and Ravenwood would be neat.
What a concept!

Ms. Britton took a 'what if' fantasy and created a story that had this reader sighing 'if only.' From the beginning I was rooting for Lucy & Garrick, though I couldn't imagine how they were going to resolve their conflict. Then when Garrick sold his soul to the devil, I thought, oh no, now there's no way for a happy ending. But Ms. Britton found a unique AND believable way. I hope she plans to write Lucy's friends' books soon.
What a HUNK of an angel - HE CAN PROTECT ME ANY TIME!

It is hard to beleive that this book was written by such a new romance writer. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. I started reading it in the afternoon and got so involved in that story that I forgot to make dinner for my family. We ate pizza that night. It made me laugh and then it made me cry. I can't wait till Pam Britton writes another book - I WILL BUY IT IN A MINUTE!
