An Angel in Love
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Source: Review Copy from Author
There has been some changes to the roles of guardian in this novel. Since Darcy spends most of his time in human form, another angel is assigned to guard Elizabeth. Who better than the Captain of Hosts, Archangel Michael? And who guards Darcy while he is human form? Oh, nobody special, justGabriel, the same archangel who visited the Virgin Mary! What a formidable and eminent trio these three angels make!
Playful boasting, witty retorts, gentle ribbing, unmerciful teasing – Darcy and his angel brothers do it all, and it is immensely entertaining to see these three heavenly beings behaving like competitive and childish boys! Because all three are angels, they can communicate telepathically – and their witty repartee, that no one but angels can hear, is where Ms. Helm’s clever sense of humor really shines:
Darcy gritted his teeth. Gabriel, sometimes your patience gets on my nerves. I know, should I be impatient? Darcy grinned wryly. Then you would not be Gabriel. Gabriel nodded sagely. I would be Darcy, I suppose. – p. 112 SoulFire
Just like the first book in this sensational series, there is so much inspiration and faith to be derived from these pages. Besides witnessing the spiritual war between the angels and Lucifer’s dark forces, readers get to travel with Darcy and Elizabeth as they participate in evangelist meetings. The events and miracles that take place at these meetings are so moving and wonderfully illustrate the majestic power of the Almighty! If you are interested in seeing Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice infused with heavenly beings and nefarious demons, I encourage you read The Guardian Trilogy by Robin Helm. It is a sensational cross between the Austenesque genre and Inspirational Fiction! (Potential readers should be made aware that this is the second book in The Guardian Trilogy, and that it will be necessary to read all three books to attain the complete story).
For US residents, the prize will be one autographed copy of Guardian and SoulFire. For international residents, the prize will be an ebook of each novel in either kindle or nook format.

These books sound awesome and your review is too, Meredith! It is a fascinating idea and one that I plan to eventually read about in full! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway opportunity.
The scenes with Darcy, Michael and Gabriel are so great, aren’t they? And I loved watching Darcy experience things for the first time. I’ve been waiting til Legacy comes out so I can buy all 3 books at once, but I would be super excited to win here! 😀 Thanks Meredith & Robin.
These books look really interesting. Thanks for the review!

I loaned my copy of Soul Fire to a friend, and it has magically walked away. Robin, your gift is evident. Meredith, thank you for giving those who love Austen a platform on which to express our opinions.
Your review of Guardian has me hooked on the trilogy. I can’t wait until Legacy comes out! I love the new twist to P&P and the Christian morals and lifestyle.
When I saw this one popping up it made me go a bit insane because I always try to explain to many what I have going on with Mr Darcy and that he is not an old fashioned character who can stand the test of time. This sounds like a total different way of telling a story! I bet that I can keep the fire for one of my favorite inspiring book characters! kindled with this one on my bookshelf.
I love the new spin on Darcy and Elizabeth! Can’t wait to add it to my list to read!
Wonderful review. Thank you for the giveaway!
I have heard many things about this book and it sounds great. Thanks for the giveaway
Thanks for the wonderful comments!
This sounds like such a wonderful series! On my to read list now!
Pride and Prejudice makeover with Christian themes sounds like a new concept to me. So I would love to win the set of books because it intrigues me. Meredith, please add me into the drawing.
