Though this looks and sounds like
a Christmas title, it is not. However, if you are looking for a wholesome,
easy to read romance, Gabriel’s Angel
is for you. The story follows the age-old formula – girl on the run, saved by
the boy, and they both get snowed in and fall in love but with a Roberts twist.
Laura is the girl on the run, trying to escape the family of her abusive, now deceased
husband who want to take her soon-to-be-born child away from her. Gabriel (“Gabe”)
is a famous painter who has sought refuge in an isolated mountain cabin
following the death of his younger brother. As one would expect, the sparks fly,
and Gabe proposes marriage to protect Laura and the unborn child.
As the snow clears, the new
family returns to Gabe’s home in San Francisco. Although Gabe knows Laura’s
whole story, he has yet to tell Laura what drove him to the mountains where she
met him. Both know that the fight for the child is not over, and Laura works to
gain the strength and confidence she will need to be successful against her
in-laws when they finally catch up with her.
Roberts, who now has written more
than 225 romance novels is known for creating well
rounded characters. In Gabriel’s Angel the reader can almost feel the
love, gratitude and strength of the characters and the evil in the family Laura
is attempting to escape. Roberts also
writes mysteries and fantasy books under the pseudonym J.D. Robb.
