10 Angel Paranormal Romance Novels That Are Actually About Angels

Since I'm about to publish an angel paranormal romance novel, I've been looking at the others on Amazon. And I've noticed something troublesome. When you search through the categories, the majority of the top 100 best selling books in the angel paranormal romance category aren't about angels at all. There are plenty of vampire and shifter books, but aside from a few YA novels, the category is populated with mostly non-angel heroes and heroines.

So, I did some more searching to wade through the entries, and I've compiled a list of 10 angel paranormal romances (for adults) that are actually about angels. This list is by no means exhaustive. These are just ten that caught my eye that might be worth checking out if you like angels. And if the book is part of a series, I've only listed the first one.

**Update: Since The Rest of Forever is now available, I'll include it here as a bonus 11th angel book.

The Rest of Forever by Carrie Pulkinen

An enemies to lovers romance with an unlikely guardian angel...

High school history teacher April Carter never asked to be an angel. When she dies in a school shooting, she should go to heaven like a normal person. Instead, she wakes up in the afterlife as an angel-in-training with the insufferable Damian as her mentor.

She might as well be in hell.

Damian plans to help April cross over and be done with her. Being assigned as her trainer is the last thing he needs. She's stubborn and strong-willed, and she's ignited a fire in his soul he didn't think could ever burn again.

If the pair can stop butting heads long enough to keep their charge alive, they might discover a love worth fighting for.
