I just want to remind all of you about my first Christmas story - My Guardian Angel. It's a sweet story about two people who have lost their spouses and are trying to find a way to move on during this holiday season.
This is a wonderful short story, which K. R. Bailey penned of loss, and learning to
live and love again. Can these two hearts find each other and fill the
void that their hearts need. Christmas is a lonely time when the one
you have loved and spent your life with is gone. Family and friends mean
well but it is not the same. This is a short but heart-warming story. I
really enjoyed it and know you will to. -- Debra, Between The Lines Review
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL
is a book that steps outside of the mould of young nubile protagonists, that
have all the energy and zest to make things happen. This is a read where both
people have already lived a good life - a life they were happy with, satisfied
in and while not perfect would not change any aspect of it.
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL is a truly impressive read from author K.R. Bailey, a must buy.
Here's a brief excerpt:
Emma felt suddenly shy like a high school girl on
her first date. She scampered towards
the house, pausing as she opened the door to look and see if Joe was following
her. He was so close she gasped when his tall lean body brushed up against
hers.
“Sorry,” he mumbled and held the door open.
Emma drank in the masculine smell of him, looked up
at his full mouth, then ran through the door. “Have a seat. Oh, let me take
your coat.” She reached quickly and nearly pulled it from his shoulders. “Would
you like some hot chocolate?” She pushed nervously at her hair, suddenly
uncomfortable. He was a stranger in her house. She paced, eyes darting over her
shoulder to see what he was doing.
“Are you uncomfortable with me here?” Joe asked
quietly, his eyes never leaving her face.
“What? No.
I…would you prefer I make coffee?” Emma turned towards the sink. She didn’t wait for his reply as she put
water in a cup. Just having him in her home was making her jittery and
uncomfortable.
“I’d love hot chocolate.”
“You would?”
“Yes, if it’s not an imposition.” This time he
chuckled at her unease. “Can I help you with anything?”
“Oh, no. Just have a seat. Hope you don’t mind
sitting in the kitchen.”
He pulled out a wooden kitchen chair with a
red-checkered cushion and sat down. “Not at all.” He noticed the chair cushions matched the
bright curtains, thinking it was a very comfortable room. It fit Emma. He could
picture her serving her family in this room. A pang of longing filled him.
“Here’s some cookies. Wish I could say I made them,
but my neighbor brought ‘em by.” Emma sat them on the table. She stood staring
at the man sitting in her kitchen, not sure why she felt so nervous.
“They’re great.” Joe smiled up at Emma. “Aren’t you
going to join me?”
“Ah, yeah.” Emma nodded and retrieved the cups of
hot chocolate fresh from the microwave. She glanced uneasily around her
kitchen, thinking everything looked a little dated. Perhaps she should consider
some remodeling. It was something she and Henry had discussed many times but
never seemed to find the time or money to do. She wondered what Joe thought
about being in her old kitchen, then pushed the thought from her mind. Did it
really matter what he thought?
