Luck Be An Angel #Liza_O'Connor #New_Release #Review

Meet Sara: She is the sweetest, most patient, encouraging and hardworking mom you’ll ever meet.   

Sadly, the ‘good people of Briarville” wish to judge and destroy Sara’s life. The shops won’t even allow her to buy from them. She has to drive all the way to Fayetteville. When she recently won a house, but had no property to build upon, the town purchased her some cheap bog-land OUTSIDE of their city limits.

What terrible unforgivable act has Sara done to make a whole town hate her? Each year on February 14, she gets pregnant with another child. When the story begins, she has sixteen boys and one in the bun. And here’s the kicker: She insists that she’s never laid with a man.

Well the townspeople don’t believe her. So once she moves into her new home, they explain her boys can no longer attend the Briarville school. Then Child Services steps in and warns if she does not obtain a tutor in the next week, they will have to take the boys and place them in foster homes.

​Thankfully, Ethan arrive, pretending to be a tutor arrives just in time. His motives aren’t pure, but his timing is impeccable!

Reporter, Ethan Long, is sent into the backwoods of Arkansas to investigate a woman who claims her sixteen boys were born by Immaculate Conception. Not believing in divine intervention, Ethan plans to uncover the identity of the man who continues to impregnate Sara Smith every year, leaving her to raise her sons on nothing but luck and love. He enters their home as a tutor and eventually discovers the truth, but not before he has fallen in love with Sara and her wonderful boys. Now he must face his own crossroad in life and decide whether to follow his heart or his professional obligations.

EXCERPT
Sam came running out the back door. “Mom, our school teacher has come! Joshua’s started the interview.”

His declaration caused all the boys to drop the clothes and run into the house, leaving Sara to pick up the fallen clothes and add them to the pile requiring a second wash.

Sara hurried with her chore, worried that the poor woman would run off before she could intervene. The sight of so many boys, identical but in age, all in one room, could be a bit terrifying.

By the cluster of bodies in the kitchen, she assumed Joshua had chosen his favorite room for the interview. She shook her head and gently moved her mass of boys about so she could enter.

She heard Joshua’s voice, full of challenge. “By only moving one match, I want you to make a perfect square.”

Her eldest wasn’t interviewing; he was testing the poor woman…

She finally moved aside Colby so she could see the teacher and apologize for her son’s inquisition. Her apology was lost in the shock of discovering the teacher was not a woman. He was most decidedly a man, probably in his late thirties, with a long nose, which gave him a slightly hawkish look. His dark eyes presently sparkled with amusement as he studied the puzzle her son had posed. She liked his face. He looked like a good man. Only she didn’t want a man. She couldn’t have a man here. She had enough problems with the townspeople thinking ill of her as it was.

The man leaned over and gently tugged on the leg of one match a bit, making a tiny square in the center. The younger boys cheered on him for his success.

He stood and bowed to the applause of the boys and then grew serious when he noticed a smiling woman standing in the midst of her boys. She smiled and stepped forward.

Joshua stood up, his chest puffed out with pride. “I’ve checked him out, Ma. He’ll do just fine.”

“Does that mean they won’t take us away now?” her ten-year-old, Oliver, asked.

Peter ruffled his younger brother’s hair. “That’s right O, you can stop screaming in your sleep now.”

Sara Smith might be the story of a lifetime for reporter, Ethan Long. She's a woman who birthed sixteen boys, all on the same day, at the same time. She claims not to know the father, yet something doesn't add up. Ethan goes undercover, posing as a teacher in order to gain the truth but what he finds out is miraculous. 

Ms. O'Connor writes the most interesting stories. I never see the twists and turns she brings to the characters until the end. While Sara seems like a woman who has so much going against her, she really is blessed. It's the people of the town and around Sara who aren't able to see the truth and I feel sad for them.

This story will keep you up reading and make you believe in miracles. I couldn't stop when I started, I had to know how the story would end. Once again, I can blame Ms. O'Connor for my lack of sleep but I really did gain so much more!
