When the writer of Hebrews counseled to entertain strangers, for by doing so, you might entertain angels, I doubt he would have considered how much those strange angels might entertain you! After a too long break, Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy have managed to convince Gabe , Garbriel, to unleash them on Earth again. This time, they come in answer to a mother's prayer. Anne Fletcher has seen her son, Roy, grow bitter after the tragic loss of his true love. She prays for him to find new love, giving the girls a chance to fix things.

Love comes crashing in for Roy in the form of Julie, the daughter of one of his employees. At first, they are like oil and water, but soon, with a bit of a heavenly shove, Roy and Julie realize how special each other is. On a side note, justice and healing also enter Anne's life is a sweet way.

**** You will want Christmas to come more often if it brings gifts like this. Ms. Macomber's book is not billed as inspirational, but inspiration can come in unusual ways. Shirley and company are so very human that they remind you that the definition of angel is a messenger of God, and therefore, anyone can be one. ****

It takes a while before and Julie and Roy get to know each other and let there guards down. That's when the three Angels are there to lend a helping hand. Those Christmas Angels makes you believe in miracle's a very touching story.

Happy Reading Lisa

This was my first Debbie Macomber, but it won't be my last. The romance is near perfect and the heavenly assistance provides that extra touch and more than a little humor. Watching Roy and Julie interact is such fun. Roy's mom and Julie's dad make interesting subplots.

For those who like a "cleaner" romance, this is for you. The sexual attraction is there, but it's a by-product of their attraction to each other as people.

In addition, it's a real "get into the spirit of Christmas" book. Plenty of love and joy to go around. Just delightful. I'll be checking out her other books, too, especially any more Cristmas ones. This is the best Christmas romance I've read yet.

This title was an absolute delight! The mischievous angels added something extra to an already enjoyable romance story. Although I am a big fan of Debbie Macomber's novels, this was the first angel book I've ever read. I am definitely compelled to purchase previous titles. This book has succeeded in putting me in the mood for the holiday season.

Another good book from Debbie Macomber. Always a feel-good, happy ending. If you enjoy her other books then this is a must have!

In Seattle, Anne Fletcher worries about her son Roy, who used to be an outgoing friendly person, but now is an acrimonious workaholic Scrooge. She wants Roy to rediscover what life is all about though a grandchild would be nice so she prays for heavenly intervention. Now Anne might have reconsidered turning to heaven if she knew angels Shirley, Goodness and Mercy were going to answer her prayers.

The angelic trio literally tosses Julie Wilcoff in Roy's path. However, when this threesome interferes it means chaos. Shirley, Goodness and Mercy intercede causing their usual mayhem, unruly incidents and encounters, but seemingly this time the angelic trio has failed at matchmaking this duo in time for the holidays.

THOSE CHRISTMAS ANGELS marks the return of those meddling delightful angelic pixies who want to see every mortal happy. As is the case when Shirley, Goodness and Mercy, the Murphys of matchmaking, are around, everything that could goes wrong does go wrong. Anne is a charming sprite, but why she wants revolting Roy is hard to say even with heavenly intervention. Fans of the author, these angels, and a lighthearted It's a Wonderful Life crowd will enjoy the latest antics as the trio tries to make a match in time for the holidays.

Great little love story. I love everything that Debbie Macomber writes but Shirley, Goodness and Mercy are some of my favorite characters. I would recommend this book highly!

This was a wonderful, light , and entertaining book. I enjoyed reading it. It was well written and had good description.
