Romance lovers looking for a truly engrossing read need look no further than the fifth installment in Pappano's Bethlehem series (following Getting Lucky). In Bethlehem, N.Y., everyone is just plain nice; even the poorest part of town has a hint of respectability to it, and happily-ever-afters are guaranteed. The latter is helped along by a trio of resident guardian angels who pop up in unexpected places to watch over and guide the human inhabitants of this benevolent berg. During this latest visit, the reader meets Melina Dimitris, a brash and beautiful PI from a large Greek family who specializes in finding lost children. When three of Bethlehem's youngsters run away from home in order to find their biological mothers, Melina is called to duty. Too late, she learns that one of the kids is five-year-old Chrissy Knight, daughter of Sebastian Knight, the man with whom she shared a torrid four-day affair a week earlier. Although Sebastian tries to distance himself from Melina, fearing that he'll be burned like he was in a past relationship, he's forced to give love a second chance when he discovers that Melina is pregnant. Although Pappano falls back on a tried-and-true romance formula for the final pages, her fresh voice and delightful characters will leave readers looking forward to the next installment.

The little town of Bethlehem, New York, like its holy namesake, is guarded by angels. Three of them, in fact, and they pop up in the darndest places whenever things look bleak. Sebastian Knight's young daughter has secretly joined two older kids who are running away from home. Private Investigator Melina Dimitris has been called in to find them, and Sebastian insists on going with her. The problem is, he and Melina recently had a one-night stand that lasted four days, and both of them are confused about their feelings for each other. This is " Touched by an Angel "with a sexy edge. Although " Heaven on Earth" is a stand-alone book, libraries will also want to buy the rest of the Bethlehem series, because the characters show up from book to book like old friends, and each story builds on the one before it. Fans of such titles as Debbie Macomber's " Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy" (1999)" "are going to like this one, too.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2002, American Library Association.)
