Olivia Hayden is an aging actress who refuses to be type cast. She wants to keep doing her famous roles as a beautiful twenty-something. But when her agent sets her up for a meeting with a writing looking for an "alcoholic, fiftish mom", Olivia sees red. She races down the highway in her car at super speeds, and it doesn't end well. She finds herself in the trauma ward at UCLA Hospital.

Kemp McAvoy believes he deserves more, of everything. He was kicked out of his residency on his third year, so he had to resort to nursing to pay the bills. His dad want's him to earn a living, but Kemp has always looked for a short cut to get what he wants. When he finds himself the nurse for the famous celebrity Liv Hayden, Kemp cooks up a scheme to get rich.

Natalie is also a nurse at the hospital and is Kemp's girlfriend. She has a daughter named Leah who is a bright and imaginative child who loves to tell stories. But lately she keeps talking about seeing angels. The school things Leah may have a medical condition, but Natalie refuses to believe it. Kemp, though, jumps on the idea for his scheme.

He'll bring Liv slightly out of her healing induced coma and act like an angel, just so he can get Liv to write a book and he could make millions. But he needs a partner, and a publisher, and Liv's agent on board to make it all work. But what he doesn't count on is the work of the Almighty and his own messengers to throw a kink in his plans.

Wonders Never Cease is a well-told story with many messages of moral, kindness, and love. I read it in one sitting, I was so entranced with the story. There are a few twists that keep the story moving quickly. The characters are likable, or in the case of Kemp, quite deplorable. I felt compassion, humour, disgust, and hope as I read Wonders Never Cease and I am going to recommend it to many of my friends. Fantastic!

short and to the point review:

quick, easy reading for a rainy day or at the beach.

Felt more like for a teenage girl but still a good story.
