“ First off, GABRIEL'S ANGEL is, indeed, a reprint of the original Silhouette edition that was published in 1989. I had read this story years ago, but wanted to reread it and was intrigued with the new cover. Is the book a Christmas story? Not in the literal sense. In the way that it inspires love, happiness, selflessness, and a sense of well-being, then yes, it's a good holiday read.

Laura Malone, former model and a woman whose face was known worldwide, is on the run--not from an abusive husband or a group of bad guys determined to due her harm, but from a domineering, powerful ex-mother-in-law who wants nothing more than to take away Laura's unborn child. Although Laura's former husband is no longer alive, the unborn grandbaby is, at least to Mother-In-Law-Dearest, the necessary means to keep her son alive. With more money than she knows what to do with, she sends out private detectives to find Laura, to force her to return home to hand over custody of her child.
While traveling through Colorado on her way to Dallas, Laura makes a wrong turn--and almost ends up dead during a snowstorm on an isolated mountain road. Fortunately, she narrowly avoids hitting Gabriel Bradley, an artist who has chosen solitude in a small mountain cabin to ease his pain and grief over his brother's untimely death. With no other viable ways to get Laura rescued, he takes her home with him--and is immediately struck not only by her beauty, but by her inner strength in the lengths she'll go to protect her child.
As the storm rages on, Laura and Gabe learn more about each other than they'd planned--and they devise a plan that includes a marriage of convenience to save Laura's unborn child from its grandmother. But their feelings, although not spoken aloud, are edging towards love. Will it be enough to save this family?
Rereading GABRIEL'S ANGEL, I was once again reminded of why I love Nora Roberts and her books. A contrived relationship and overly-used storyline (i.e. marriage of convenience, marry for the baby's sake, etc.) it may be, but Ms. Roberts has a way of writing that fully immerses you in the story. A true romance classic, this is one to reread over and over again.”
“This was a good story, well written. One of those heart warming stories.”

“Since this is my second time reading this book..it was just as enjoyable as the first! I agree that it really shouldn't be classified as a Christmas book since it's not based around Christmas time at all, but it's still a good love story and about a woman's strength.”

“Really not sure why this is being marketed as a Christmas romance--and in hardcover yet. I understand the Amazon reviewers who felt ripped off. Still, it's a nice early book from Nora--and no, I didn't spring for the hardcover. I've got the old Silhouette. I did think some parts weren't as fleshed out as they could have been, but for its time (1989) and as a SIM, it was a good read.”

“Although the cover would lead you to believe this is a Christmas story, it is not. It is, however, a gentle love story. Gabe, a famous artist, is holed up in a cabin in the Colorado Rockies to heal from the loss of his brother Michael. Laura is prenant and running from her Boston in-laws and the terror of abuse by her late husband. Of course, Gabe and Laura come together in a snowstorm in Colorado. Loved it”

“This is a book for the romantic of heart during the holiday season. Sweet storyline... development of characters through the trials and tribulations of a love strewn from need. Nora wrote a very tenderly sensual story. Love it.”
