\"luciandivine_03-1-1-1\"\u201cMy guardian angel is a drunk.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Evelyn Casey’s life is at a standstill. She’s in her mid-twenties, struggling with the dating scene in San Francisco. Nothing seems to be working out, and she\u2019s starting to think that she\u2019ll live out her days in her crummy apartment with her overbearing roommate, Brooklyn. It’s absurd, but sometimes Evey longs for a guardian angel to show up and save the day.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

And then he does. Seriously. His name is Lucian and he’s a guardian angel, been on the job for two thousand years. His sudden presence in her life is both good\u2014he’s brilliant, witty, and warm\u2014and bad\u2014he’s brilliant, witty, warm, and hot as —-. But as perfect as Lucian seems, he\u2019s got problems of his own. He\u2019s taken up drinking and he\u2019s brazenly inserted himself into Evey\u2019s life, going against the greatest cosmic law ever created.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0For Evey, the rules are simple: You are not allowed to hook up with your guardian angel. But sometimes fulfilling your destiny requires a leap of faith, a confrontation with God.<\/h3>\n

Yes, God as in God.<\/h3>\n

Review:<\/h2>\n

Evey’s guardian angel has problems.\u00a0 He is a drunk, a trouble maker and bored with watching Evey’s boring life.\u00a0 But, what he is hiding is that he feels things he shouldn’t for her.\u00a0 When Evey sees Lucian for the first time she can’t help but know he is the hottest guy she has ever seen and he is smashed.\u00a0 What she doesn’t expect is for him to tell her that angels are real and that he is hers.\u00a0 Lucian and Evey break one rule after the other.\u00a0 Will they get what they want even after breaking the rules?\u00a0 Or will heaven, God and angels break Lucian and Evey?
\nI loved this book!\u00a0 Lucian and Evey’s story is unique.\u00a0 Renee Carlino takes our idea of angels and poses the question:\u00a0 What would happen if we fall in love with our guardian angel and if we do what happens from there?\u00a0 Lucian and Evey’s story has you believing anything is possible.\u00a0 The masterfully written story weaves between Lucian and Evey’s viewpoints or an angel and human’s view points.\u00a0 The love between Lucian and Evey is palpable.\u00a0 The reader will believe their love is possible and damn the consequences even if that means going against Jesus and God.\u00a0 When the unbelievable happens you will really start wondering if there are consequences for a love that is as unconventional as a guardian angel and his soul.\u00a0 This was my first Renee Carlino book and I am hooked.\u00a0 Her writing is truly addictive.\u00a0 She is able to make you believe in love and who can experience it.\u00a0 Though this story does have a bit of a religious feel it isn’t a religion you have to believe in to fall for Lucian and Evey.\u00a0 Overall, if you are like me and haven’t met Renee Carlino, Lucian Divine is a novel you won’t forget and will be craving more of her writing.<\/p>\n
