4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Early Nora Roberts, March 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gabriel's Angel (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 300) (Paperback)

Laura Malone, widowed and eight months pregnant, is on the run from her disapproving former in-laws, who want to raise the baby themselves in their blue-blooded lifestyle. A car accident in the snow brings her to cranky artist Gabriel Bradley. Laura is snowbound with Gabe in his cabin and he offers to marry her to help defeat the in-laws. This was the first Nora Roberts book I have ever read which continued the story after the hero and heroine got married. Laura and Gabe learn to build a new family together and foil the evil in-laws plans.
Excerpt from the back of the book:
"No one was going to take her child away from her! Pregnant and alone, Laura Malone had been on the move for months. Finding herself snowbound with an angry, impatient Gabriel Bradley was not part of her plans.
Gabe wanted to be alone. He'd come to the isolated cabin to think, to work, and to heal. But when a woman crashed into his life-literally-he's felt obliged to help. Laura was everything a man could ever want and all that he desired. She trusted him, but Gabe was hard put to be an angel when Laura felt like heaven in his arms."

3.0 out of 5 stars Typical Romance NOT!, May 5, 2005

By 

Susie Morris "Book Junkie" (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gabriel's Angel (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 300) (Paperback)

Gabe's brother had died a few months before and he felt that he needed time alone to sort out his emotions. The perfect place for him to be secluded and enable him to try and paint once again was at his cabin. The solitude was disrupted when a pregnant Laura wrecks her car and Gabe rescues her.

Nora Roberts then throws in the typical story line of them falling in love, marrying moments (and I do mean moments) before the baby is born, etc. As typical Nora Roberts' style, GABRIEL'S ANGEL doesn't flow along the lines followed by every other romance writer. She always includes interesting detours that sets her apart from the rest. In GABRIEL'S ANGEL, she tosses in a wealthy ex-mother-in-law who is determined to take the baby out of Laura's care. Then the battle of the wealthy matriarchs ensues.

Don't let the synopsis of this book trick you into believing that GABRIEL'S ANGEL will be a typical romance. It's nothing but atypical when written by Nora Roberts.

4.0 out of 5 stars CHRISTMAS WITH NORA IS ALWAYS GOOD........!!!!, December 19, 2005

This review is from: Gabriel's Angel (Language of Love) (Hardcover)

Gabriel Bradley got much more than he bargained for when he quite literally ran into the gorgeous Laura Malone on that snowy December night. Seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of day to day life, he wanted nothing more than to retreat from humanity while he sought to get his professional life in order. A gifted artist, he has not been able to complete a thing since the tragic loss of someone very close to him......
Laura Malone is on the run. Pregnant with her deceased husband's child, she has been threated by his very wealthy and affluent family if she does not agree to give the only viable Eagleton heir over to them to raise...while agreeing to disappear. Out of money and options, that accident in the snow may very well be the best thing that has happened to Laura in quite some time....

Told in true Roberts' fashion, this is a love story with the requisite touch of drama and suspense that we have come to know so well from this author. Definitely a good read..although not as "Christmasy" as I would have liked.
