Book 4 in ‘The Oil Barons Series” is another heartfelt romance as the best angel with broken wings meets her guardian, savior and her salvation.

World-class surgeon Dan Newman falls hard for the Texas beauty Gayla Levine in Ann Jacob’s “Rescuing An Angel”. Dan overcomes a crippling trauma and puts his energy in saving and giving a new lease of life to the broken and true to his nature, he literally steamrolls into Gayla to be her savior and partner.

Gayla Levine has been to the ends of the earth and back, struggling with a relationship broken, dreams unfulfilled and a father who disowns her. Yet she fights hard to make a career out of her broken dreams, helps people build their strength and confidence, and all the time she draws her courage from the support and love of Dan.

This is truly an emotional story of a fallen angel, building her identity, trying to mend bridges with little hope and struggling to accept that true love does exit and it can be unconditional. I like Ann Jacobs more and more, as I read her books more often. She’s given Dan and Gayla strong personalities and their characterization is true to form. It’s wonderful to visit with characters from her previous books.

The closer I got to the crux of the story, the more it kindled my interest. Ann Jacobs writes some really nice stories and her Oil Barons Series is pretty charming.

Second in the series, “The Closer We Get” brings single mom Erin Winters up, close and personal with Blake Tanner. Losing her husband in a car accident and trying to get the necessary treatment for her wheel-chaired toddles, leaves Erin with becoming a surrogate mother to pay for the impending surgery. But circumstances throw things into a roller coaster ride of uncertainties and fears as she ends up in a marriage to the sperm donor.

Rich and affluent attorney Blake Tanner loses his wife to a stray bullet bringing him face to face with Erin Winters carrying his child. Despite his initial resistance and reservations, Blake ends up with Erin under his roof and in the safety of his arms. As he gets closer to mother and son, sparks ignite to lust. As he gets to know Erin on a daily basis, lust turns into desire and love.

Ann Jacobs weaves a pretty interesting story around Blake and Erin. As much as I liked Blake and Erin and their chemistry, I did feel that the process of forgiveness, guilt and feelings needed a more intense delivery. Weaving in Erin’s sister’s and Blake’s friend’s story into the main storyline was pretty good as a supporting cast.

“The Closer We Get” is set at a little bit of a slow pace, but definitely charming enough to finish in one sitting.
