Zero stars - it was trite, silly, and childish. I finished it only because our Book Club selected it. Every plot development was contrived, and the nod to new-age spirituality was simplistic and empty. This was my first (and last) foray into commercially successful romance novels. Never again! ( )

In Graham’s romance novel, Christmas and the MacDougal family has never mixed well. Regardless of everything going on, they still gather this year and to their surprise, a stranger appears. Who is he? A criminal? A killer? Despite their fears and the growing danger around them, the MacDougals take him in. Before they know it, another stranger arrives leaving them uncertain who to trust. One stranger is dangerous the other just might be the miracle they’ve been waiting for.

An awesome story by a great author. ( )

Heather Graham brings the true meaning of Christmas to life on the pages of An Angel for Christmas.

Mike & Stacy Macdougal along with their children Morweena, Shayne, Bobby, & Shayne's Children Conner & Genevieve are spending Christmas at their cabin in the mountains.

Morweena is upset that her boyfriend choose to go on a tropical vacation instead of spending Christmas with her & her family. Shayne is having a rough Christmas dealing with a recent divorce but is loving having his children with him. Bobby is trying to explain to his family what he wants to do with the rest of his life. They are really normal family with all the normal family bickering and yet loving each other.

The family gets 2 unexpected Christmas guests. Both claiming they are the good guy and the other is the bad guy. The family is unsure of who they should trust. All the while they are dealing with a horrific snow storm, no phone, no TV, & no internet connection to reach the outside world.

I really enjoyed the sense of family togetherness and working together in this book. It left me with the good feeling of Christmas marciles.

It is a good Christmas read but it left me wanting a little more closer at the end. ( )

An interesting story for those who believe in Angel. The book tell the story of Morwenna, Shayne and Bobby who went up to the mountain to celebrate their christmas with their parent, a customary occasion since they were young. However, all of them went with heavyhearted. Morwenna, who decided to half wishes to be with her boyfriend who went vacationing in Mexico, Shayne who wishes his ex wife is with him and children and Bobby, who still do not know how to tell his parent about his decision to pursue his interest; music.

And it was up the mountain, they encountered Gabe Lange, who claims to be an officer but was injured by a convict, It was thru him, all three of them learnt and discover truly what love is all about and when, his identity was being challeged by another person, who claim to be the officer and Gabe was the convict, their belief starts to waiver.

This is an interesting book to read.. albeit the mystery and suspense element in the story plot. ;) ( )

Posted 8/11/2011: Its a charming family in an old family home they have had for two hundred years, The family always come together for christmas. This time thier is added tension. Shayne is now divorced doc. with two kids that wasn't supposed to be with him this Christmas. Conner age 9 and Genevieve age 6. Morwenna is thier but her boyfriend is in Mexico with co-workers She is work acholic supposed to be using her art but now in management. Bobby is the youngest and keeps changing colleges and what he wants. Now he wants in Juliard even though his father keeps telling him he cant make money on singing. Mike is a proscuter and see's lot of bad people. He wants the best for his three kids. Stacy is mom and grandmother and is a homemaker.
This year they all got to cabin okay and surprise Shayne has his kids. Cindy wanted them to have a family christmas. So they had already most of presents mailed to them. The internet was out and so was cable and no cell phone coverage. Which would not have been bad but they found a wounded man outside with head injury. His name he said was Gabe and he was a police officer chasing a bad guy who hit him over the head and stole his uniform.
They could not call to get him help but at least Shayne could take a look at him and offer first aid.
Mike was not trusting him at all.
Too entertain the kids Morwenna told a story with old art pictures while bobby played some music. Shayne with a mop on head face cold cream became aboniable snowman gabe became a christmas elf. Which they acted out the story for kids and had a great time.
The next day was Christmas an another man showed up in police uniform but no id. Saying Gabe was crook.
So they handcuffed both one in garage and one is shed till they could walk down to tavern and see if they could help. Gabe was understanding that they where trying to do what was right but Luke kept telling them they could be arrested for aiding Gabe.
Genevieve was sneaking out of house and fell down a mountain. Morwenna was in tool shed gaurding Gabe and started running before she slid down and Gabe ran past her and slid down was able to stop Genevieve before she fell further he was using his body and holding on tree. Morwenna was above them aways and was holding on somthing. Right away Genevieve was missing so grandmother and bobby saw and got rope. Shayne was in back and bobby in front of rope got the rope down to Morwenna and she got it over Genevieve and thay pulled her up. then pulled up Morwenna than Mike came and helped pull up Gabe.
The family was grateful all where okay but still did not trust either man.
They had more adventures before they figured out who was telling the truth. Prayers where answered and the family all got closer and closer even Cindy the kids mom showed up.
It was full of Christmas and angels. It was a nice Christmas story you felt good at the end. I would read other books by Heather Graham.
I was given this ebook in exchange for honest review. ( )
