Daisy Devreaux grew up with her mother ex model carrier now devoted party girl. When her mother suddenly dies, Daisy is left with a large row of creditors. Daisy's estranged father agrees to help her and pay the debts but on one condition:
"It was high time she grew up, he told her, and if she wanted to stay out of jail, she was going to put an end to her extravagance and do as he said."
And first thing her father demands? That Daisy marries Alexander Markov and stays married for at least six months. Without money, any formal education or friends, Daisy desperately accepts and theshow book begins...
The last thing I read before this book was [b:The Tragedy Paper|13628178|The Tragedy Paper|Elizabeth LaBan|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1340195568s/13628178.jpg|19234396], so I was in desperate need of something light, funny and romantic. I remembered [a:Susan Elizabeth Phillips|41313|Susan Elizabeth Phillips|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1351268280p2/41313.jpg] as a writer who usually has that type of books and she fulfilled all my expectations with [b:Kiss an Angel|73086|Kiss an Angel|Susan Elizabeth Phillips|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309115033s/73086.jpg|1040905].
Daisy's naturally optimistic nature was like a ray of sunshine piercing even the darkest clouds and I liked her sense of humor, especially when she was teasing her dark and serious husband.
Other characters that really brightened my day were animals. They were just so cute and I wanted to be there to pet them and play with them. Special mentions goes to cute baby elephant Tater.

The thing that bothered me about Daisy was her pseudo-psychic connection with the tiger. It felt weird, was not explained enough and I think it would be better if that part was totally left out from the book.
Another thing that was over-the-top was how big prude Daisy is. [a:Susan Elizabeth Phillips|41313|Susan Elizabeth Phillips|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1351268280p2/41313.jpg] did a good job explaining why, but still, she felt so out-of-this-world with that logic. I agreed with her husband:
"How could anyone in this day and age think that way?"
Still, this book has much more things that recommend it then bad aspects. So if you like sweet romance story with a nice build-up, cute animals, array of well developed secondary characters, try [b:Kiss an Angel|73086|Kiss an Angel|Susan Elizabeth Phillips|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309115033s/73086.jpg|1040905], you probably will not be disappointed.
