Great story and a sweet romance.

What would you do if you happened upon a family home on the auction block? What would you do if that was your dream home with memories of happy times?
If you were like the main character who had saved for years upon years, you just hop in and buy it and figure it out later. I know that is what I would do.

Simply magically delightful! A young girl’s memories of happy times and love can become a reality once again as an adult when Fate, or perhaps a Christmas angel give Liz Westmoreland what she always dreamed of, a chance to own the inn her grandparents sold years before. For Liz, it could be a dream come true or her worst nightmare when the man next door steps in to save the day and hopefully rekindle his own childhood dreams.

Are you a fan of a sweet melodic romance that takes a long and lingering path to love? Christmas Angels will be the absolute best read for you. It's a wholesome, sweet and loving kind of romance. Not hurried or rushed. One that builds and has such a lovely rhythm. With the holiday season fast approaching, I find myself wanting a book that is easy to pick up and put down, yet still holds be as a reader. Christmas Angels does just that.
A lovely read.

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway. It’s an easy and fast read. Very lighthearted and written to make you fall in love with the characters. I’d recommend reading it around Christmas!
I loved writing this story. I hope you will enjoy reading about Antler Creek and all the people living there. Merry Christmas. Nancy

In my house, it is no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with Christmas movies…especially those on the Hallmark channel, and yes, I watch them all year long. So naturally, when I heard that reading Christmas Angels is reminiscent of those glorious Hallmark movies, I needed this story like my life depended on it.

I found this to be a very heartwarming book with a sweet romance. In this book, Liz Westmoreland suddenly has the opportunity to buy the inn that was once her grandparents' Bed and Breakfast. It has been her dream to own it one day, and she sets out to start her new life there with joy in her heart. Once she arrives, she finds that the inn has pretty much been gutted, and is far from ready to operate as a Bed and Breakfast.

I am a Christmas story lover; so this one was a perfect choice for me. It's funny, that as I am reading the story; in my mind, I kept saying to myself that this would make a perfect Hallmark Christmas movie. Then within the story, the author mentions Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel and I had a good chuckle.
This is a wonderful story about "coming home" again. It is a beautifully written holiday story about 2 people; Liz & Matt, that met as youngsters and then meet again adults; ...more

Christmas Angels is a sweet, charming, feel good, hallmark-ish Christmas story. And of course, Elvis the dog. What's not to love. The descriptions of the small mountain town and the inn pull you into this magical tale. The dynamics between Liz and Matt made for complex and interesting tension. A heartwarming and well-written story.
Oh my, what a sweet book!
Liz Westmoreland, who always dreamed of taking over her grandparents inn in Angels Creek, was overwhelmed when she stumbled upon a listing for the inn, which is going up for auction. Her grandparents had sold it many years ago, much to Liz’s disappointment. She decided to bid on the inn, even though the auction is right away and she doesn’t have time to see it beforehand. To her surprise, she wins the auction and heads to Angels Creek to fulfill her dream. But when she ...more

Everyone has a place that says “home" to them, where just thinking about it brings back all those wonderful memories and the feelings it evokes wrap around you like a warm blanket. For me, it’s my aunt and uncle's place in New England, and for Liz Westmoreland, it's her grandparents' old bed and breakfast in the small town of Angel Creek, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. When her grandparents' lodge comes up for auction, Liz can't resist bidding on it. When she wins the bid, Liz leaves her

Hahahaha, that Elvis! What a great book. I really hope we hear about his sister maybe in a future book? Loved how the town all came together and helped out.

Christmas Angels is a sweet, heartwarming, feel-good romance: a nice, light Christmassy read that reminds me of the best aspects of a Hallmark movie.
The book starts off a little slowly, and didn’t really hold my attention until about a quarter to a third of the way in, when the main characters finally start actually working on the lodge renovation. The heroine and hero are both likable, possibly a little too much so. Matt appears to have no flaws and even his sister thinks he is quite ...more

When Liz finds her grandparents Inn up for auction she bids on it and wins. She never imagined to find the Inn in such rough condition. Matt also wanted to buy the Inn. It borders his land. When Matt finds out that Liz bought the Inn he is more than eager to help her restore it. What a wonderful Christmas story. I loved it. I loved the small town, the fact it was her grandparents Inn and I love angels! I really enjoy all her books.

I was completely captivated by this inspirational Christmas story, a sweet romance and the story of one woman’s determination to recapture the best memories of her childhood. A perfect snowy small town setting sets the stage for this wonderful book, with charming and generous characters. I’d love to spend Christmas at Angels Rest, enjoying the hospitality and the perfect holiday ambiance. Liz and Matt are an adorable couple, with their warm hearts and giving, caring natures. I hope author Nancy

The premise of this book had me eager to read it. Even if it isn't Christmas yet, I enjoy the feeling that I usually come away with in these holiday romances. Unfortunately, this one felt a bit boring. For me, the book as well as the pace did not pick up until the last chapters. The author's writing was easy to read but the pace of the story dragged.

When St Martin’s approached me about reviewing this book, I was pretty excited to dive into it. I’m a huge fan of Christmas-y books and it reminded me of a hybrid of a Hallmark movie and the show Gilmore Girls. Unfortunately, this book had a much stronger resemblance to a Hallmark movie than to the long running show about a small town - if you’re looking for a light, shallow story about two people falling inn love (pun intended) in a small town, this is the book for you.
