"Angel Incognito" by Janice Thompson



About this book:

  “Sometimes discovering who you're falling for is half the fun! Determined to prove she can be a good reporter, Texas girl Angelina Fuentes begs her boss for one big story: She plans to do the unthinkable. . .expose a group of identity thieves. To get the scoop on these con-men, Angel must go undercover as a cleaning woman in the Galveston area. Peter Campbell (Galveston resident) believes wealth has corrupted his father's character - that the older man no longer cares for the down-and-out. To prove that he's nothing like his father, Peter throws himself into working with the needy. When Angel and Peter cross paths in a most unusual way, assumptions bury the truth. Will Peter allow the Lord to remove his mask of good works to reveal a secret heart of pride?”

My personal Rating-

When I first started this book and realized that the main couple was married, I didn’t think I would enjoy it so much. However! I did enjoy it! Like all of this author’s books, it was very clean and very sweet. I’m always so impressed with how much Spiritual Content Miss Janice is able to put into her novels! I just love it! :)
