A Wing and a Prayer

When irrepressible angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy set out for the City of Angels to grant three rush Christmas prayer requests, they are sure they can help without resorting to, er, divine intervention. But they soon find it will take more than one miracle to teach their precious lessons of love—as well as make three special holiday dreams come true!

Angels

Surely, Goodness & Mercy who break the rules as angles all the time! Their belief that the end justifies the means is not what Archangel Gabriel is not happy with their methods, but can he rein them in before God's attention is focused on their behavior up till now? Or, will their actions undo all the good they are Trying to ensure? I loved the zany antics of these angels!

Good series!

Love these angel books. They keep you wondering what in the world they will do next to get the job done.

Debbie writes with love and understanding about tough situations , and the interactions of Shirley, Goodness and Mercy give the reader unexpected chuckles and laughter.

THE trouble with angle

It was great as always. I read as many of her books as l can . I really enjoy all the three angle books. A. Very dear friend turned me on to the angle books along time ago I have thanked her many times. I am now trying to get everyone of them for my own enjoyment at the Christmas Season. .

Wonderful

Uplifting stories that deal with real life at the holidays. Light reading that puts a smile on your face. Can't wait to dive into the next book in the series.

Good but be aware of language

Of course this is about angels and the humans they are helping, But I was disappointed in the bad language. I’ve read more of Debbies books from last few years (language free) but this is an earlier book. Stories interesting, but I prefer books that are free of bad language.

Trouble with Angels

Another delightful book full of antic of the 3 angels trying to interact with people in order to help them make the choices for the future. Trials and tribulations confound what should be a clear choice. This make the angels pull a few pranks to get their assignments done.

The Trouble With Angels

As always Debbie delights us with her three charming angels, Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. The stories are lighthearted and touching with just the right amount of romance and humor. I always look forward to this particular series and wasn't disappointed. They are a fairly quick read as the author doesn't get bogged down in excessive descriptions of location or surroundings. I appreciate that as I am always eager to read how things progress with the situations and also what these three angels will do next.

Little Sugar, Little Spice, Lots of Fun.

These angels are so sincere and really wish to be helpful, but often manage to take the occasional earthly shortcut with interesting results!

Great read for the most part

It was a wonderful story that fit in well with society as it is today. The variety of characters and place settings was really well done. All age groups represented and much love. I only had a problem with swear words. They really could have been omitted altogether. Also I had a problem with the cheap shot about "Catholic guilt." I am sure I will try one more book by Debbie Macomber. But if there are swear words and criticism of my Catholic faith that will be the last book. Good clean language and no criticism of other faith is a positive incentive to read this basically good author.

Enjoy this Story

This Story was a heartwarming book The Trouble with Angela was no trouble at all! I thoroughly enjoyed This book.

Heavenly

Another fantastic, page turner funny story by the very talented Debbie Macomber. I love the antics Shirley, Mercy and Goodness have and the twist and turn story lines. Thank you for entertaining me once again, you never disappoint me.

Surely, Goodness and Mercy...

...are the names of the Angels which were the main characters of this book. I found this story to be fanciful fun. Wishing we all had guardian angels that could help us achieve happiness, I read with pleasure how Surely, Goodness and Mercy helped the people which were their assignments. The Angels had to figure out what to do on their own and they were quite imaginative. Of course, it was all fantasy. If you enjoy this kind of story then The Trouble with Angels will make for a great read.

Fun read

Loved the story. It’s easy to read and somewhat predictable but that’s what makes it enjoyable. The angels add a new dimension to the story

Precious Angels

Another #1 hit from Debbie Macomber! I regret that I didn't read her "Angels" books in order, only because previous antics are referred to in preparation for the new assignments. But that still works for me as it spurs me on to look for the earlier books. The Angels are always delightful and I look forward to the next holiday season with even more anticipation

Cute Story

This book (unfortunately filled with typos) is a "Cute" story - a little hokie to say the least, but enjoyable nonetheless. It is almost as though one is reading three specific stories (not one of which would have held a reader's interest for long). The characters are fairly well defined and there is little left to the imagination as to how the book will end. It is probably a good read for a younger person (early teens perhaps).

Lighthearted

Really enjoyed this lighthearted read

GREAT READ

This would have received five stars from me if the expletives had been left out. The capers of Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy will cause you to chuckle (just the names will), but because the book is about the adventures of these three and the title includes the word "angels" the expletives did surprise me. Do give this book a chance---there are others in the series---as you will enjoy their escapades as they play matchmakers and healers of the heart.

The Trouble with Angels

I just love these three angels. The story continues more adventures for this trio. This book will cheer you up and brighten your day.

Great

Like good

Live These 3 Angels!

Love these 3!

A delightful read.

Love her angel series books. All 7.

Debbie Macomber's a wonderful author! If I didn't know better

Debbie Macomber's a wonderful author! If I didn't know better, I'd say she has inside information where those angels are concerned!

Great Christmas read!

Not an immensely deep piece of literature, but I enjoyed the interwoven stories of characters who've suffered loss, disappointment, and heartbreak only to overcome the pain as God's plan for them is revealed through prayers said on their behalf. This uplifting read serves as a reminder of the power of prayer, the sovereignty of God, and the ministry of His angels in our lives.

Macomber is always a winner!

Great heartwarming read with laughter and whimsy tossed in!

These three are amazing

Just when you think all is lost, here come Shirley, Mercy, and Goodness. They visit Los Angeles. Debbie Malcomber is a wonderful writer.

Unexpected ways to achieve an putcome

Those 3 angels can get into more mischief & I eagerly read on to find out what “miraculous “ thing they will do next. Mrs. Macomber has a wonderful imagination. Can’t wait to see what’s next!!!

Trouble with Angels is Enjoyable

It's a nice book. A little cute, a pretty good romance, a bit of faith involved. It could be "cleaned up a bit" (proof reading, typos) and was not on a writing level that I'm used to. However, it was enjoyable and the story was very sweet. Worth reading if you enjoy the idea of angels working in our lives.

A good for any age group.

A good read for any age group. I couldn't put it down. A very uplifting story with a happy ending.

Really fun read!

Prayer angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy solve earthly mortal problems in somewhat unconventional ways. They frequently consult with each other for support and help coming up with their solutions. Like the other Macomber Angel books, this is a delightful yet sometimes emotional read.

Happiness

Very good book, I love the twists and turns in this book. Was hard to follow at first but then I understood the characters and their differences it was hard to put my book down.

Trouble with angels

Goodness, Mercy and Shirley were very funny. They did pull some funny business with customers. Gabriel caught them doing strange things to customers. Just a very funny and interesting story.

Good books

While these are good books, I find keeping up with the 3 different stories somewhat difficult. I generally don't read a book straight through in one sitting. When I pick these books up again, I have reacquaint myself. But I do read all of them.

Love Love love it

I just can't get enough. Everytime I read a Macomber story I can't wait to fall in love with the characters. Always a job well done!

The Trouble with Angels (Angels Everywhere Book 2)

I keep looking for Shirley, Goodness and Mercy around Hot Springs but haven't seen them yest - They have to be here somewhere. They've got to be the neatest trio ever.

Funny Story

Have read more than once and it still makes me chuckle as I read about Shirley, Goodness and Mercy's antics.

Loveable

I believe in angels. These three angels are awesome!! I just loved the characters so much. Not just the angels but all of the characters. They were all so warm and touching. I can't wait to see what happens in the next story. Thank you so much , Debbie.

Good author

Good story line. Could not put it down.

Great quality Thanks

Great quality thanks

Five Stars

Love this whole series, love the author. Debbie mac ombré books are always a joy to read.

Pretty good

Three sweet but over-enthu angels land up on earth 'helping" troubled people find love and peace. Their bungling ways are fun to read about and of course everything does seem to work out for the best, after all it is Christmas time. But with all the focus on the angels we really dont get to see much of the development of the characters. A pretty good read otherwise.

Another great experience!!!

Not sure if I am reading this series in order but this is the first of the Shirley, Mercy and Goodness series for me and it was another great story. Can't wait to get the next book.

Another great book by Debbie Macomber

If you have read any of Debbie Macomber's books, you will enjoy this one. Her stories of the Three Angels that are periodically sent to Earth to help people are just great. I really enjoy everything Debbie writes.

Fun Angels

I love the way the stories are separate but then all come together at the end, but I didn't want this book to end. Needed to buy a couple more so I could continue to be inspired. Wonderful writer, very talented. Thank you! Marge

Heartwarming and thought provoking

This book touched on subjects all of us will deal with. It made me think, laugh and feel a renewed hope. I wish the book had been a little longer. It seemed a shame to develop so many rich characters and then rush through their stories.

Five Stars

Enjoyed

Angels from Heaven

Macomber does an excellent job with these angels from heaven who come to help a person on earth. Good human interest story that each of us can relate to.

Three Stars

Sweet story, like a hallmark tv movie.

Beautiful

5 stars as always. This is an exceptional author. Every book is a unique and heartwarming experience. I'm loving these three crazy angels. Happy reading.

The angels are always endearing with all their mischievous deeds.

What more can be said about the imagination of Debbie Macomber? Her books always keep you on your toes and anxious for her next book.

Great read with curve for an ending

Love that you couldn't tell what was going to happen at every tuen. I think it's reticules I have to write a review when I buy a Kindle bool on my iPad!!!!!

I just love reading about those three angels

Different

This book is told by angels, quite different from anything else I've read. Entertaining and interesting the way the characters evolve. I recommend this book for an enjoyable read. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Good light reading

This book is light reading and a good read!

Good holiday reading

This was a great little story for the Christmas season. I especially like something like this to read during such a hectic season. It was fun and took my mind off some family problems.

Full of fun

I really enjoy reading Debbie Macomber's books with the three angels. They always get into so much mischief, but thankfully they meet their goals.

Very entertaining

This novel is very entertaining with lots of excellent plot twists and angelic dialogue though the conversation and action is more human than angelic. Definitely good.

Angel books are delightful!

All of the Angel books by Debbie Macomber are excellent!

The Trouble with Angels

I like Debbie Macomber. I started reading her books at the library; however, the last 4 months of the year limit my reading time and at the library one only gets 2 weeks for new releases. I plan on getting additional Macomber books; however, it must be after the holiday season.

THIS MAKES ANOTHER ONE NOT RECEIVED

Wow another one I haven't received and its about angels too. I even looked under Harper Monoogram and its not there.

The Trouble with Angeels

The story was different from what I am used to. It was fun to read. Good character development. I liked the way she got back to the angels from time to time. .

Trouble with angels

Good as the others were.can't wait to read more .debbie has lot of great book out there to continue best stories with out going over and repeating

Excellent read and a book to learn from about caring of others.

This book is funny at times but yet very caring on personal problems or illnesses. You can see how God wants us all to act towards other people. Being there to listen or help guide them through some hard times. I would suggest anyone read this a maybe learn the meaning of giving back to others.

simply amazing!!!

These three Angels are amazing!! I just hope I have one watching over me like these Three Angels!! They never cease to amaze me!! Always entertaining!

Five Stars

The Trouble with Angels is perfect. Another hit for Debbie Macomber. Love it

Heartwarming and witty!

The first three Angel books should be made into Hallmark or Lifetime Christmas movies! Very enjoyable heartwarming stories funny, witty and entertaining. Difficult to put down once you start reading !

Wonderful, delightful read!

You are quickly involved in the outcome of these three angels. Great individual personality working together for the same result....Fabulous!

All the Series is just heavenly.

Love the special people that are involved in the stories, weather they want to be or not. Sometimes those Angels just don't realize who sees them. Just a fun and fast read.

GREAT, AS USUAL

As always, Debbie did a great job. Her three angels are the best.Will always read her books whether its the Angels or other.

Trouble With Angels

A little to silly for me. Read like a story for teens. I do not regret reading it but I would not recommend it.

A definite pick me up

especially during Christmas, some just need to know that "Happily ever after" really can happen. Faith, hope and trust are all evident in each of the three storylines followed. A great holiday read!

Very cute book

I really enjoyed this book about three angels and how they helped the earth people. I would recommend it for others to read

great story

angels in trouble ?? how can this be? Love the way Gabriel is portrayed in these series.thes angels are almost human

Great stories!

Loved this book. All great story lines. A little difficult to follow sometimes, as the book flips continously from storyline to storyline. Another great Debbie Macomber book.

The Trouble With Angels

I had a little trouble at the beginning getting interested but then found the story moving along. It turned out to be good and I enjoyed it. It was a different approach to a story from the viewpoint of angels which was quite different from other books.

Good

Quick and easy reading. Definitely a fiction book but gives you a good feeling about those you know who are in heaven and makes you think they are looking down upon us.

Four Stars

Lighthearted and a popular book for Christmas.

Pleasurable reading

This book was sooooooo goood! It takes a special person to be able to write a book that gives the reader a chance to escape the everyday, and enter the world of pleasurable reading for a short while. The book is a wonderful read.

This is a nice light read. A bit like the kind of world we wished we were living in, with people being kind to one another.

This is a light and easy read. I have enjoyed the 2nd book in the Angels series as much as the first. Shirley, Goodness and Mercy are delightful angels working on fairly tough prayer answering assignments. Goodness has the toughest one with a pastor who has lost his faith after his wife has passed. Debbie Macomber hit the spot for this Christmas winner.

It was a good book to read

I enjoyed this book. It was light and feel good book. when it ended I kind wanted a little more.

super

It was one of those stories where you had to keep reading to see if there was a happy ending

entertaining read

I knew when she named the 3 angels (from Psalms) I was going to like her wit. Very funny and uplifting.

A bad dream

I love it so much it's the best book I can't stop taking about it that it's not even bad

Another great Holiday book!

I love everything Debbie Macomber writes and this is just one more example of her gift. A wonderful Holiday love story!

Good read!

boring and not for me unable to finish

Did not even read very far - reminded me of a fairy tale. Certainly not her best work glad I did not pay for it.

The Trouble with Angels

another gripping angel book. Debbie Macomber worked her magic & came up with a finish that the reader didn't expect. Wonderful ending!

The Trouble with Angels

Sorry! My fault. This is a syrupy, sappy, book.. I know many people love this genre and they may find this one of the best of it's kind.
