Undercover police officer Angel Morelli is investigating a drug ring but she's hit a snag: she's fallen head over heels for her handsome history teacher, Jake Weston, who's shaping up as a prime suspect in the investigation. Jake has noticed Angel as well, and wonders if she's the one who can make him believe in happy endings.
The book also features Sal Tucci (aka the Crow), who is also featured in her novel "Judging Sara". Sal and Angel are working together. There's usually one nonbeliever and this time it's Jake's on-again, off-again girlfriend Amanda.
Rutledge does create some two-dimensional characters here, but Amanda is a one-dimensional atheistic character who doesn't really do much. Her plot involves the trafficking of meth in a small suburban town and her handling of this subject is good. There's a terrific subplot on the subject of forgiveness that's interwoven with the drug ring plot and is also handled very well.
The "age difference" between Jake and Angel is amusing at first. However, I grew up with a Christian girl who, at 19, married a 27 year old, so it didn't seem that farfetched to me. It only seems odd from the teacher/student perspective.
