5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Christmas Present to Readers, December 29, 2002

This review is from: The Trouble with Angels (Harper Monogram) (Mass Market Paperback)

Debbie MacOmber offers up a tantalizing array of stories for her readers in this anthology featuring Shirley, Goodness and Mercy--three angels who are apt to get into trouble whenever they visit earth.

From the tale of a Jewish girl who desperately wants a different life but is afraid to go against tradition, to a spunky inner city school teacher, to a rising star, this book has something for everyone.

Each angel has a woman to help. Each woman has her own unique story and problems. And each romance has a happy ending.

I highly recommend this book and would offer the rare comment that five stars isn't nearly enough to describe the heartwarming delight I felt upon finishing the last line in each of the three stories.

I tip my hat to Miss MacOmber for her talented storytelling capabilities and ability to involve my emotions until I laughed and cried.

5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't put it down until I finished!, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Trouble with Angels (Harper Monogram) (Mass Market Paperback)

Since I've always enjoyed any book by Debbie Macomber, I should have known better than to start reading "The Trouble with Angels" when I went to bed. I ended up staying up until 4am finishing it! Just could not put it down until I found out how each of the angel's assignment ended. Very touching tale of how little things can change peoples' lives in a very positive way. After reading this story, I was hoping that I had a Shirley, Mercy, or Goodness angel looking out for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully heart warming!!, December 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Trouble with Angels (Harper Monogram) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the perfect book for the holiday season. It is heart warming and so much fun. Three angels are sent on different assignments to help bring back the spirit of Christmas and add a little bit of "guidance" of their own to some much-needed families and individuals. It involves a bitter divorced woman and her 12 year-old daughter, a young man about to marry someone that just might not be the one, and a sad church minister still grieving the death of his beloved wife from three years ago who has lost all his religious faith. I highly recommend this book to anyone ready for a good Christmas novel to help get you back in the holiday spirit.
