"Entertaining romantic suspense thriller"
For twenty-six years he has lived in shame due to the
reported actions of his dead father. When Tom Donovan was
four, apparently his dad's best friend Holt Hudson shot
Tom's father six times. A few days later, his dad died in
Tom's arms alone in the Everglades. Holt insisted that
his best friend was a cat burglar who assaulted his wife.
The police believed Holt, but Tom knows that wealth can
buy plenty of silence and is positive that his godfather
spread the money around. Tom sees private investigator Angel Devlin meeting with
Holt. Afterward he follows her, which she observes. They
talk and he pleads with her to help him, but she warns him
to stay away from Holt as he is sponsoring an Alzheimer's
fundraiser at his home. As Tom continues to seek the
truth, he and Angel begin to fall in love, but his
obsession overrides his heart so any future relationship
seems impossible. I'M NO ANGEL is an entertaining romantic suspense thriller
that centers on the need of an adult to understand the
pivotal childhood event that shaped his current needs.
The story line contains several delightful support
characters including Tom's grandfather Pops, Holt, and
through their eyes, Tom's parents and Holt's spouse.
However, the tale hinges on the relationship between the
lead couple as he struggles between love and a lifetime
obsession to learn what really happened when Holt shot his
father. Harriet Klausner
