About this audiobook
Kate Keene’s childhood memories compel her to take her newly-acquired architectural skills to a dilapidated Louisiana mansion. But when she returns to the Reconstruction-era South, she’s shocked to discover the man she’s dreamed of for so long has become a bitter, angry recluse.
Colin Delany, the handsome older brother of her best friend, has lost all he once held dear, with no hope of ever restoring the Belle Fleuve mansion and plantation. Filled with spunk and determination, Kate feels it’s her duty to help, so when Colin demands she roll up her drawings and get out, she refuses.
And when Colin forces Kate to promise his dying sister they will care for his niece and nephew, she complies. Having been orphaned herself, Kate realizes she must put the children’s welfare above her own, even if it means a marriage of convenience.
But will Colin’s hovering darkness ever lift? And can Kate’s persistent love and faith transform their uncertain future?
Book three in the Irish Angel series explores the hope of a reflection of love in a heart of glass.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyed all three books by Jill Marie Landis angel series. I hope there is a fourth book abt the youngest sister.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I don't usually like historical settings and am not big on reading romances any longer, but this author has an easy reading style that didn't belabor the historical setting of her novel. I liked her heroine's determination and stubbornness and that she wanted to succeed in what at the time was a male dominated field (architecture).
I did feel that the associations of Kate's father which managed to get her an internship with an architect etc. seemed a bit too convenient and I tired of the often used plot device of the two main characters each being in love with the other but neither saying it to the other for fear of it not being returned.
I thought the author was going to take the story into another plot twist when the steamship captain took Kate to dinner at the same restaurant where Colin decided to have a bite to eat before resuming his search for her, but she surprised me by making it merely a way for him to find her in the big city. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jill Marie Landis does a good job of writing a story that holds your attention and also that takes you to the time and place you are reading about, and makes you feel that you are there. This is the 3rd book in her Irish Angel series and although this could easily be read as a stand alone, I encourage folks to read them in the order they were written.This series is about a family of young sisters whose parents died in the 1800's and whose relatives gave them up to an orphanage and where the girls went from there. This story takes place in Louisiana in the late 1800's and the sister is Kate Keene who has been adopted and raised by two parents who gave her alot physically, but didn't spend much time with her. She spent alot of time growing up with the Delany family on their "plantation" home and Amelie became like her sister. Amelie's brother Colin though she has loved since she was a teenager. The war is over, Kate is trying to save the plantation and help Colin "get over" the war and his injuries (even though he wants nothing to do with her). This was a story of determination. Kate was determined to save the Delaney home, Colin is determined to not accept Kate's help, and then tragedy strikes and Kate must renew her energy and hope and press on. The characters in the story seemed very real and although there was alot of heartache throughout the story, there was also enjoyment watching these two main characters interact. Another well done story in this series.
