Eight Second Angel

What a sweet love story and a great way to continue Lily’s story, even after death.

I have read the entire Lonesome Point, TX series and love it! Lily was such a sweet and loving Wife and Mother that lost her life way too soon when she was murdered. Eight Second Angel has a paranormal twist. Lily Grace is back and on a mission to save a life... Canyon has made huge life changing mistakes in his past but he has been turning his life around for the last four years. But to him his life is empty, lonely and he is ready to end it. He has been planning it for months and has no plans on going back on them. He thinks if he does this it will be better for the person he hurt all those years ago. What he didn't see coming was Grace... Lily Grace has been sent back into another body to save Canyon. A man she has never met. A man she only has one week to convince that his life is worth saving from himself. Her new name is Grace and she is in the body of a 22 -year blonde beauty that is also in turmoil but now has Lily's mind. After meeting, Grace and Canyon feel a pull towards each other but they both know nothing can come out of it. When Grace thinks they need to just get away, Canyon already had a plan for camping his last week so she goes along with him. She also has another agenda and the location of the campsite is perfect for her plan of making things right... This is a novella but there are so many questions to be answered. Will Canyon and Lily fall for each other? Can Lily show Canyon his life is worth saving? Will Lily get the closure she seeks? I thought this story was unique, emotional and suspenseful. I don't usually read anything paranormal related but I loved it. Canyon and Lily's stories are emotional and I cried for these two. I was pulling for them to get through together. And anything about second chances is such a ride. Quotes: He went to hell and he stayed there, knowing it was the only thing a monster like him deserved. “The donuts were for you, but if you prefer the bear claw that’s fine. I’m secure enough in my manhood to eat pink donuts.” “Oh, I hope so. I hope you’ll teach me a long, hard lesson.”

A Review of Eight Second Angel by Jessie Evans Love is heaven that hurts like hell... Rodeo cowboy Canyon O'Donnell is a champion with more national titles than any pro bull rider in history. He's also one week away from ending his own life. Haunted by mistakes from his past, Canyon isn't looking for redemption, let alone love. But when a beautiful girl with her own tragic past practically falls into his lap, he can't resist taking her under his wing. He can't promise her forever, but maybe he can help ease her pain. A little over a year ago, Lily Lawson was murdered. Now she's back on earth in a new body, sent to redeem a lost soul before it's too late. But her first good will mission is complicated by a powerful attraction to the tortured cowboy she's been sent to save. Soon she wishes she could promise Canyon forever, but she only has a few days and time is running out. Lily's willing to do whatever it takes to save Canyon's life. But what if the one thing he needs--her love--is the one thing she can never give? Like all of Jessie's other books, I really LOVED this one -- although, I'm not sure that I would call it a Lonesome Point Texas book. I had not read the blurb about the book, so I was totally thrown when I realized who Lily Grace was. We got a mention of a couple of people from there, but Canyon and this version of Lily Grace were never part of the town. This really made me stop and think, what would it be like to come face-to-face with someone in the future that tells me she is my Mother and that she wanted to let me know how much she loved me and that she didn't blame me for her death. Would I be able to believe it and how would I feel knowing that she would go away again? A very poignant book you don't want to miss. **Complimentary Copy provided by Author for an honest review.**

"After so many months wandering the world in-between, light and weightless as a feather, coming back into a human body hurt like hell." And so begins the story of Lily Grace Lawson and Canyon O'Donnell in EIGHT SECOND ANGEL, the follow-up novella to ROPES AND REVENGE in the Lonesome Point, Texas, series by Jessie Evans. Lily Grace, wife of John Lawson, was killed in ROPES AND REVENGE, and, feeling that she still has unfinished business in the here and now, has been in the 'in-between,' unwilling to cross over. Canyon O'Donnell has suffered great loss himself, and, feeling that this world would be better without him, has decided to take matters into his own hands. It's up to Lily Grace to show him just how precious life is. Jessie is one of my go-to authors. I just love the way that she writes, her words, her characters, the love that she infuses into each of her stories. Jessie's Lonesome Point, Texas, series is one of my favorites, full of strong sexy cowboys, women full of sass and strength, and tales of overcoming odds that sometimes seem impossible. EIGHT SECOND ANGEL is a true second-chance romance, of sorts. Both Lily Grace and Canyon are living in the past, and it isn't until the possibility of losing each other in the now arises that each are able to let go of what was and find the redemption that they seek. This story may be one of my absolute favorites in the series. It's full of love, loss, tears, smiles, and, yes, plenty of steamy sexy time, too. Canyon and Lily Grace touched my heart, making me want their HEA from early on. I happily recommend this book, and the whole Lonesome Point series, with 5+ 'I'm crying, I'm smiling, life IS good and beautiful' stars.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. There are not enough good things to say about this book! It was amazing and lovable and thoroughly enjoyable! Absolute five star read and a great addition to the Lonesome Point series. Highly highly recommend!

WOW, Jessie Evans never stops delivering! Eight Second Angel is another beautiful story in the Lonesome Point series. Lily Lawson was a loving mother and wife whose life was ended too soon. Her spirit being stuck between the living and the dead, she is sent back in the body of Grace, a young woman who has given up on her own life. Lily has only a few days to save the soul of rodeo cowboy Canyon O’Donnell, who himself is ready to end his life because of the mistakes he made in his past. The only problem is that Lily still carries the memories of her past life. When Lily wakes up in Grace's body, she finds herself ready to end her life; until two strong arms stop her from jumping. There is an intense attraction between Canyon and Lily, but they decide to stay as friends. As Lily pieces together Grace's and Canyon's connection she discovers that Canyon is heading out of town and going back to the place that was taken away from her. Longing to see her boys again and let them know she is OK, she convinces Canyon to take her along on his road trip. During this time Canyon and Lily's connection gets stronger and Canyon's past is revealed. Will Lily see her boys? Will the connection between Lily and Canyon become more? Can Lily save Canyon before it is too late? I fell in love with Lily and Canyon's story. So thrilled that Jessie continued Lily's story even after death. I felt so many emotions of regret, sadness, hope, love, fear, and relief while reading this story. With the tears that I shed I also had many smiling moments. Another great read, one you won't want to miss.

Oh wow Jessie has done it again… I cried so hard throughout this book, and the tears were well worth it… Lili is in the “in between” of life and death. She had recently helped John and Percy get together which led to solving her murder in the last book, Ropes and Revenge. This is such a beautiful story that sends Lili to help someone in need. She is sent down through another body; however, there is only a short time in which she can use this body to try to save Canyon. Canyon is planning to end his life when he saves Lily/Grace. There is an immediate attraction but neither is thinking of anything but the next few days they have left. Lili only has a short time to get Canyon to see that he deserves to live. They end up on a "just friends" road trip. Will they act upon their attraction? Will she be able to convince Canyon that he deserves to live? This was such an amazing story and so deserving of Lili! I loved this book by Jessie!!!

Jessie Evans is such a beautiful writer. She has outdone herself with Eight Second Angel. I was so thrilled when I heard that Lily Lawson was getting a story. I cried when Lily lost her life and I have been curious and extremely intrigued to see how Lily was going to return. Lily has been sent back to save Canyon's life by taking over Grace's body. He's a bull rider that's living under a cloud of grief and despair for his mistakes. He's planning to end his own life, but before he leaves town he runs into Grace. Lily and Canyon have an instant attraction, but under the circumstances they decide to just be friends. Camping for one week and then they will part ways. Lily only has a few short days to convince Canyon that taking his own life isn't the answer, but she's dealing with her own past memories and sadness, and she has an agenda of her own. Lily and Canyon share a blanket of loneliness, but they also share an electric connection. Will Lily make Canyon see there is more to live for before it's too late? Will Canyon open his heart to Lily and save them both? I absolutely loved this story. I cried from start to finish. Some sad tears, some happy, some shocked. Lily is still as sassy as ever and Canyon is sexy and sweet. Another awesome addition to the Lonesome Point, TX series. Thank you, Jessie for giving us Lily's story! "Anyone ever tell you you're trouble, Grace?" "All the time," she said. "But I'm not. I'm just bossy and bad at taking no for an answer." "Pleasure and hurt are two sides of the same coin."
