"A clever, emotional story with characters you'd never expect!"

Pricilla is an angel in waiting. Waiting from that call from the Big Guy in the sky to accept her into the higher level of angels. Verbena, Pricilla's mentor, gives her charge a mission so hard, Pricilla thinks she surely will never make it through the gates to the higher heaven. Her mission: To bring her daughter and the husband she's been separated from for one year back together. The hard part: She has to be totally selfless in her actions—something she's not been since arriving in heaven—or ever, in fact. Which explains why she is one of Verbena's most difficult challenges.

Back on earth, Brady is wallowing in self-pity. All he wants is his wife back. Yes, he did something terrible. Yes, he knows he deserves what he's getting. But, that doesn't mean he's not still in love with his wife. When his deceased mother-in-law appears to him in the form of an angel, he thinks he's losing it. But, she swears she's there to help reunite him with her daughter. Pricilla is tough on Brady, but he needs that push. She convinces him to approach Melina.

Brady does approach his wife, and she wants nothing to do with him until one night of great sex leads to another and another and another. Melina tries to justify her actions. After all, he did cheat on her. She finally calls it off with Brady leaving him depressed. Pricilla finally realizes she wasn't the greatest mother on earth and her actions played an important role in Brady's screw-up.

In the end, all the characters come to terms with what is and what has been and focus on what can be in the future.

Dakota Cassidy writes a clever story with characters that reach out and touch you. She has a clever way of phrasing things and creates a different than your run of the mill angel. She also writes hot and sexy scenes into a great storyline. In this book, she brings readers a story that is quirky yet passionate, funny and touching. I even cried a tear or two at the end of this scintillating tale. It's a quick, enjoyable read with depth and emotion. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a good story in their erotica novel.

Summary

A marriage is ending...

But should it? If two people are meant to be together surely there's some way to ensure that happens. For Melina and Brady Campbell there is. It takes some divine intervention, and a VERY unlikely angel, to set these two on the path they've wandered from, and convince them that "Sex with your Ex" can be the most wonderful thing in the world.
