Nancee Cain is able to weave realistic issues into a story that touches all of the emotions. Her story shows that age isn’t an important factor in whom we love. The will and need to fight for what brings you happiness is a strong theme in this book. I have all of the Pine Bluff series, but I have to limit myself to one a night. I have to sleep sometime. You can read them as a stand-alone. But I think you will enjoy them more if you read the series beginning to end.
This is the third book in this amazing series and is Angel and Maggie’s story. Angel is a former addict, and he is back in town to make amends with a friend, and move on with his life. Maggie is newly divorced and has turned her home into a B & B. She takes a chance on Angel without judgement, and they heal and overcome demons together. This is a beautifully written story which is heart-warming, and about forgiving yourself in order to moving on. I was totally enthralled throughout this poignant love story, and cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
A wonderful story about second chances for 2 people have gone thru so much in their lives and what they do to bring their lives together in hopes of being healthy and happy. Life is difficult but not matter what each person goes thru, it can bring them together in heart , soul and mind. Another 5 star book for Nancee Cain and I would give more if I could. I’m excited about the next book in this series
This book can tug at your heart strings in a few ways while inspiring you to be a better person. It’s easy to forgive others but forgiving yourself that’s a whole other story, because no one is harder on you than you. I love how this book captures that struggle, you wont regret reading this book.
Angel Sinclair arrives in Pine Bluff to make amends with Emma, becomes lost and stops at Maggie Robertson’s for directions. The reader soon realizes that Angel is lost in other ways as well- a recovering heroin addict, a young man estranged from his family and homeless, a graffiti artist who’s been arrested , jailed and stabbed. Maggie also is lost- lonely and bitter from a cheating ex-husband. This chance encounter becomes an instant attraction and soon develops into an unexpected romance. The story unfolds beautifully as both Angel and Maggie work through their past demons. The novel really shines with the empathic descriptions of Angel’s addiction-although troubled and not perfect he is so likable you can’t help rooting for him and wishing he doesn’t relapse. The book has everything- humor, sadness, struggles, a scandalous relationship between a young man and older woman. There is some adult language and scenes but it adds to the story. I highly recommend this series, each one although stands alone brings us back to the small town of Pine Bluff and familiar characters weave their way into the story. Heartfelt and inspirational I couldn’t put it down.
Another hauntingly beautiful story full of emotion, redemption and second chances. I loved the characters and their self discovery and journey not only that they went through themselves but with each other. Able to draw strength and courage from their relationship and love.
Who is Angel Sinclair?
Homeless?
Addict?
Adrenaline Junkie?
Law Breaker?
Rebel?
All these have been used to describe Angel at one time, but nobody actually has taken the time to know and understand just WHO Angel Sinclair is. The only people who have come close are his best friends Ken and Emma. But now Ken is dead and Emma is married with a life of her and Angel is left to deal with his clean lifestyle and make amends on his own. Everyday is a struggle for him to keep to his clean lifestyle and not just give in to the mind numbing euphoria the drunks offer him.
Maggie Robertson is recently divorced and trying to make a quite living outside of Pine Bluff with her Bed and Breakfast. Living with an alcoholic father and then a verbally abusive husband has left Maggie a bit broke and down and a non-existing self-confidence. However, hiring the young tattooed Angel Sinclair she’s about to learn that she’s got more to offer if she is only willing to open herself up live.
But living with one addict she knows the struggles for both the addict and their loved ones. Can she trust Angel to stay clean even when past demons come back to haunt him? Is she finally going to overcome the excuse of age between them and give in to the attraction?
Angel’s story is absolutely heartbreaking. Living the life his family led left him with nowhere to turn when he needed the most help. My heart broke for him and the way he decided to numb the pain of his childhood trauma and the oblivious nature of his family. But with the love of a good woman, Angel can finally see that his life means more and there is more to life than just flying through in the high of drugs and oblivion.
The Rehabilitation of Angel Sinclair is Amazing.

There are obstacles they must overcome , their own demons make themselves know from time to time, but they want to make this work.

5 stars.
Angel Sinclair is a recovering addict and is trying to connect with an old friend and make amends. What he finds when he gets to Pine bluff he never expected to have. Maggie a divorced woman is trying to make a new start in Pine bluff by opening A bed and breakfast. There are so many opposites to them can they make love work? This book hit home for me because I’ve lived it.this is a great series and I am looking forward to the next one
Angel and Maggie’s story is one of two people learning to trust and communicate. I enjoyed being caught up in their trials and tribulations, pain and sorrows, and their love and acceptance of each other. This is an incredible series.
I really liked that this book was very realistic in dealing with drug addictions. As someone who works in healthcare I have seen many books that are not realistic about people in recovery being able to break the habit easily when that is not the case at all. I really liked both main characters as both were broken and they both helped each other to heal. I also liked seeing the characters of previous books who also helped the characters in the healing process.
Maggie and Angel both have dark pasts but together things seem better, now we just need them to see that. Maggie is starting her life over at 39, after a divorce from a jerk of a husband and Angel has some crappy things hidden in his past. Maggie needs a handyman and Angel is there. She’s older than him and feels that he deserves someone better than her, but they’re perfect for each other.
Like its predecessors, this third Pine Bluff novel is beautifully written in a style that pulls the reader into the story. Nancee Cain not only weaves a fabulous tale, she runs the gamut of emotions with her characters, and the beauty of it is I didn’t feel like a spectator – I felt Angel’s struggle with his addiction as well as Maggie’s trust issues. I felt the chemistry between them as Maggie worked through her problem with the age difference and Angel pushed without being pushy. I also love that the author sprinkles the story with some well-timed wit and humor to keep it just this side of too heavy. To sum it up, I smiled, I laughed, I got mad, I even shed a tear with this impossible to put down story of clawing your way back to a life with meaning and purpose, and finding that meaning when you least expect it. Another winner in a series of winners.
