This book was such a departure for me. I know it will seem a little taboo to some, but I loved taking this risk and exploring this sub genre of romance. The idea of angels being everywhere has always excited me, so I'm proud to share this new, different love story with you all...
"That is love, that is life. Brutal and beautiful." -Lucian
Blurb:
From USA Today Bestselling Author, Renée Carlino, comes a totally unique love story that is sure to make you question what’s out there . . . or who.
“My guardian angel is a drunk.”
Evelyn Casey's
life is at a standstill. She's in her mid-twenties, struggling with the dating
scene in San Francisco. Nothing seems to be working out, and she’s starting to
think that she’ll live out her days in her crummy apartment with her overbearing
roommate, Brooklyn. It's absurd, but sometimes Evey longs for a guardian angel
to show up and save the day.
And then he does. Seriously. His name is Lucian and he's a guardian angel, been on the job
for two thousand years. His sudden presence in her life is both good—he's brilliant,
witty, and warm—and bad—he's brilliant, witty, warm, and hot as ----. But as
perfect as Lucian seems, he’s got problems of his own. He’s taken up drinking
and he’s brazenly inserted himself into Evey’s life, going against the greatest
cosmic law ever created.
For Evey, the rules are simple: You are not allowed to hook up with your guardian angel. But
sometimes fulfilling your destiny requires a leap of faith, a confrontation
with God.
Yes, God as in God.
Here's what some people are saying about Lucian...
“I was utterly and completely swept away by Lucian Divine.
This story is sweet, swoony, so funny and unique and just downright magical.
It’s pure delight.”
-Mia Sheridan
New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author
“Lucian delivers all the feels and heart in a beautifully
clever, blissfully winged package. This story was the absolute best way to
start my New Year.”
-Staci Hart
Bestselling Author
“A love story like we’ve never seen…witty and so utterly
charming, Carlino’s humor shines thought in Lucian Divine. I have been swept away.”
-R.S. Grey
USA Today Bestselling Author
“Lucian Divine has redefined and set a new standard of what
a must-read book is for me.”
-Carey Heywood
New York Times Bestselling Author
“Carlino pulls all the stops and gives us not only something emotional that will touch
your heart and soul, but will also give readers something to think about long
after reading the very last page.”
-Christina Shh Moms Reading
“This author has ASTOUNDING talent and every romance reader out there needs to
experience at least one of her incredible stories. Unique, addictive,
beautiful, and faultlessly written, LUCIAN DIVINE by Renée Carlino was an
incredible DELIGHT to read!”
-Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads
“A love so deep, so strong, one that will melt your heart and have you devouring word
after word. Lucian Divine consumed me and I have to say that I am in awe of
Renee Carlino's talent and her ability to create a tale that brings this story
and these characters to life.”
-Jen Shmexy Girl Book Blog
“This book delivers on so many levels. It questions but also reaffirms faiths. It
makes you love harder and sends a hopeful message.”
-AC Book Blog
“I adored the neurotic but lovable Lucian. Everything about this book was perfect
for me.”

Before We Were Strangers
Release Date: August 18, 2015
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York.
To the Green-eyed Lovebird:
We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…
I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.
After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?
