Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle has
Liz Westmoreland working as a project manager for PROEM Service Group in
Charlotte, North Carolina. She is
sorting through her mail at home when she comes across a postcard advertising properties
for sale by auction. Liz pulls up the
site and discovers her grandparents old lodge, Angels Rest in Antler Creek is
available. It has always been Liz’s
dream to run the inn and she quickly sets things in motion. The next day, Liz wins the auction and
quickly heads up to Antler Creek. Matt
Hardy did not win the auction for Angels Rest.
The residents of the town still remember the sweet couple who ran it and
the amazing Christmas displays they put on each year. When Liz arrives in town, Matt remembers her
at the freckle faced girl who enjoyed fly fishing. Matt is happy to help restore Angels Rest to
its former glory and spend time with Liz.
The town welcomes Liz with open arms especially Maizey who own the
Creekside Café. As Liz works on the
property, angels that her grandmother owned keep popping up in unusual places. She believes this is a sign that she on the
right path. But then an accident has Liz
wondering if she has indeed made the right choice. Can Matt and the locals show Liz that she is
home?
Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle
is a magical Christmas story. Liz Westmoreland
has had a dream since she was a teenager and she has a chance to make it come
true. She purchases her grandparents old
lodge at auction in as-is condition. An
art gallery had gutted the interior and made some unusual design choices that must
now be undone. Liz wants to restore
Angels Rest to its former glory and carry on the traditions started by her
grandparents. Matt Hardy is an architect
who lives on the land adjacent to Liz’s.
He remembers Liz from when she visited her grandparents as a child. Matt
is eager to help Liz with her renovations and get an opportunity to get to know
her better. I found Christmas Angels to
be well-written with fabulous characters.
I found the interactions between
Liz and Matt to be delightful. I just
loved Maizey who provided good advice and delicious food as well as Krissy,
Matt’s sister. Elvis was another great
addition with his playful antics, unique grin and wiggling backside. I enjoyed the authors depictions which
allowed me to visualize the story. There
are tender scenes that just made me smile.
There is an opportunity for a second book (hint, hint) featuring Matt’s
sister who would like to open a shop in the town and the deputy who caught her
eye. Christmas Angels is a heartwarming tale that that will linger with you
long after you finish reading it.
