As Lita enters the doorway of the large building, she finds herself enclosed in a strong pair of arms. For some strange reason, she is not afraid. She feels safe in those arms. Those arms belong to Ben and the lady is his sister, Gail. Gail is quite surprised that Ben has taken a sudden interest in the stranger and invites her into their home. Ben names her Angel.

Angel in Moonlight is a keeper. If this story is indicative of what Ashleigh Raine is capable of telling, it won’t be the last one I read. This book is highly recommended and should be kept on your keeper shelf.
