This is a book that will touch your heart and soul. It is beautifully written and holds your attention. Come meet the people of Angels Creek and forget about all your troubles for a while. There has not been many books that made me cry tears of joy, but this one did. I can't put into words how wonderful this book is and how much I enjoyed reading it. This is a book I will read again and again. I'm going to order a paperback copy as soon as it comes out. Thank you St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own. I highly recommend this heartwarming book.

This is my first book by Nancy Naigle. I enjoyed it, even though there wasn't any mystery or suspense. It's the story of Liz and Matt. Liz has always envied the life her grandparents led and finds herself in the position of being able to purchase their old Inn, Angel's Rest, which they sold years ago. Matt has moved back to Antler Creek after the death of his father and is the town's handy man and overall nice guy. I like that this story is about living out your dreams and taking a chance. I am a believer in the saying that "everything happens for a reason" and this story definitely uses that a lot. It's a cute story about child hood crushes and making dreams come true.

Christmas Angels is a lovely holiday story. I can picture this a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie and I love Hallmark Christmas movies! This is a well written book with wonderful characters. This story covers lots of Christmas musts for me including hope, love, a caring community, a bit of angel magic, and of course snow. I liked the message to trust your dream. A wonderful Christmas book to snuggle down and read.

A light hearted romance that has everything going for it. Perfect hero, perfect town, perfect ending. Thoroughly enjoyed the story - angels are everywhere>

Have you ever had a dream of owning your grandparents Inn based on your childhood memories? Well, Liz has and it has finally come true. Or has it?!
Liz has so many wonderful memories of her visits to Antler Creek, North Carolina. Matt remembers her from when they were kids.
A heartwarming Christmas story by author Nancy Naigle with romance, community, holiday spirit or should I say Angels.
Thank you NetGalley and St Martin's Press - St Martin's Griffin for the opportunity to read this book.

LOVED this book!!!!! Couldn't put it down. I felt like I was Liz Westmoreland buying what used to be my grandparents inn and living my dream. The town of Angels Creek all came together to help when Liz was injured in an accident and questioning if this was what she should be doing.

I received a copy of this book from Net Galley for my honest opinion. I was not paid for this review.

A delightful story that I enjoyed very much! It was very fast book and kept me turning the pages. This will certainly put in the Christmas holiday mood! Loved the book! Thanks to Netgalley for the early copy

If you want a sweet uplifting romance....This is it.
Liz Westmoreland misses the joy she felt at her grandparents lodge. Unhappy and looking for a link to her happier past, she finds a B & B online, but looking further...she finds the one of her dreams up for auction, her grandparents lodge and wins it after bidding furiously for it.
Matt Hardy has very fond memories of the lodge and was also bidding for it. He aids Liz when she discovers just how badly the lodge has been treated by interim owners and together they recreate it and create a love story. No sex, just romance. Suitable for any age. I enjoyed it very much and have it in mind for a couple of friends for the holidays.
I requested and received a NetGalley ARC to peruse for my honest opinion.

4* Sweet Angel Stars

This slow burn romance between Liz and Matt was heartfelt and realistic. The secondary characters that surrounded Matt and Liz were loveable and caring. I wished that I was part of this wonderful town where everyone joined forces to make sure that the Christmas spirit of the past was bought back again for all to enjoy.

This was such a sweet good feel story that will leave you happy and looking forward to sharing Christmas with your family and friends.

Many thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin and NetGalley for my copy to read and review.

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 arrives, she is heartbroken to find the property in really bad shape. Matt Hardy had also bid on the property and was surprised to find out Liz was the new owner. He remembers her from his childhood. Together they make plans to restore the inn. But after Liz has an accident, she’s rethinking her original plan and wonders if she’ll ever be able to make her dream a reality. Matt, and the people of Angels Creek, show her what restoring the inn would mean to them.

I found this book so heartwarming. I love Christmas stories and this was one of the best I’ve read in recent years. 5 hearty stars!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.


READING PROGRESS

Christmas Angels is the perfect Christmas romance and Hallmark story all wrapped up. I enjoyed the many memorable characters who were believable, and the small town setting was a great way to involve everyone as Christmas angels. Great feel good read - perfect for Christmas to put you in the mood whether it's July or December! I think a sequel would be fun to read too, and I'd love to see how the inn turns out!

If ever a book was written with the sole purpose of becoming a Hallmark Christmas movie, Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle is it. Set in a small mountain town that is populated with good hearted and helpful people, this book is bubbling with good cheer and Christmas spirit.

Liz Westmoreland has always had a dream of leaving her high powered career behind for the simpler life of being an inn keeper. Fueled by happy memories of visits to her grandparents’ inn, Angels Rest, she knows the time is right when she discovers that very property up for auction. She immediately purchases it sight unseen and “as is” only to be dismayed by the amount of renovation it will require. Enter Matt Hardy, an architect, contractor and former town resident home for an extended visit. Matt, who has harbored a secret crush on Liz since their early teen years, immediately signs on to oversee the return of Angels Rest to its former glory. Both Liz and Matt are supported by the heart-of-gold town’s people who are thrilled to see the resurrection of the once thriving but now dilapidated inn. What ensues is predictable but enjoyable, sure to bring warm feelings and holiday cheer to the reader and is perfect for anyone who enjoys a Hallmark Christmas movie.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions stated are solely my own.

I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book is destined to be a Hallmark Christmas Classic, I can see it now! I love it because it’s set in NC - which is where I live, and Boone is mentioned a time or two - as well as Appalachian State - which is my Alma matter! But, most importantly, the story involves such sweet and wholesome characters that are out to make the world a better place for themselves and the people of Antler Creek.
I hope you enjoy this sweet Christmas story about Angels and memories from the past!

Matt remembers Liz from when they were children. She used to visit her grandparents in Antler Creek, North Carolina. He had a crush on her then and truth be told, he carried that crush up to the present time.
Liz’s favorite childhood memories are of the time she spent in Antler Creek with Pop and Gram. She could not believe it when her grandparents sold their lodge, Angels Rest, and decided to travel by camper to see the world. She thought the best place in the world was exactly where they were living!
Since then, she always dreamed of owning and running an inn like her grandparents and when she stumbled across an ad for the lodge her grandparents used to own, the day before the auction, she put in a bid, sight unseen, the next morning!
Well, that makes for an interesting story , right? Making a huge decision based totally on your heart can turn out wonderful or a disaster. This being a romance story, we are assured that Liz’s dream will not be a nightmare. In Matt, she finds the best person to help her repair the lodge and also win her heart in the process.
I loved this book. Nancy Naigle writes heartwarming stories that enfold me and I never want them to end. She creates wonderful characters of all ages that I will not soon forget. This story also has an adorable huge puppy, Elvis, that is 6 months old and weighs over 90 pounds. He definitely brought some smiles while I was reading. The author’s scenery description puts me in the snowy town of Antler Creek and I want to wrap myself in a warm blanket from the chill, even though I am reading this book in July!
Several of Nancy Naigle’s books were made into Hallmark movies and I hope this story will also come to life on the screen.
I want to thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me the pleasure of reading this ARC. This review is my own opinion, not influence by receiving the ARC. I love to read Nancy Naigle’s Christmas stories any time of the year and eagerly wait for the next one.

I received an advance reader copy of this book through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. If this book isn’t already scheduled to be a Hallmark movie, it should be optioned immediately. Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle was an enchanting story. It was a clean romance. I loved the angel figurines that kept appearing. Although I really enjoyed finding out how the figurines really appeared. I would highly recommend this book. Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to preview this book.

Christmas Angels is a wonderful book that makes you want to live with these endearing characters! Nancy Naigle has brought this book to life and I am sincerely hoping we will get many more books in the future!

This is one of the sweetest books I've ever read. Nancy Naigle captures the perfect mix of delightfully entertaining characters and charming story line with this novel.

As a renowned project manager, Liz Westmoreland is known for finishing projects on time and under budget but when she suddenly finds herself the proud new owner of her grandparents old Inn in Antler Creek, sight unseen, she may be in for more than she can handle. She loved spending summers there, and although she hasn't been back in fifteen years she has always dreamed of some day owning the place that held such incredible childhood memories. Hiring handsome, kind-hearted local Matt Hardy is her first order of business, but Liz has some hard and fast rules and one is to never ever date a co-worker or employee.

Matt Hardy has built a home and settled in Antler Creek and loves the laid-back, easy going, and friendly small town life. He isn't much into city women after his experience with his ex yet all of him seems to be on high alert after seeing the pretty new lady in town.

This story takes us on a wonderful journey as Liz assumes ownership of her grandparents inn and the drama that takes place over it's current condition.  Will Liz be able to get the Inn up and running on budget, and how will she deal with her feelings for her contractor?

A true Christmas story. The spirit of all that it should be runs through this beautiful and romantic tale. A feeling of community and goodness threads together the desire to recapture the feeling of her childhood spent with grandparents in a special place.
Wonderful, spiritual and entertaining.

Some of Liz’s fondest memories are of her parents mountain lodge, Angel’s Rest. In fact, she always dreamed of taking over the lodge one day. Unfortunately, her grandparents sold the lodge after her grandfather was diagnose with cancer. It fell into disrepair under new ownership. Liz discovered that the property was going to be auctioned off and purchased it.

Matt is an architect temporarily residing on the property adjacent to Angel’s Rest. He has fond memories of Liz’s grandparents and of Liz herself as a child; although, Liz doesn’t remember Matt. They become reacquainted as Matt helps Liz navigate the many repairs needed in order to reopen the lodge.

Despite failed relationships, they develop a rapport and friendship as they get to know each other better. Can two independent thirty-somethings who have lived through bad relationships open themselves up to a new relationship?

Nancy Naigle once again brings us a sweet holiday story about two people who take a chance on love!
