Those Christmas Angels by Debbie Macomber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is is a fine little story of angels coming to help guide a romance between two people. It’s very light and breezy. There’s an effort at portraying difficulties, but those are quickly diffused. this leading to the problem with he book: Depth.

Something I find with most women’s depictions of life in story and art: The inability to reach deep and reveal the soul of the story though characters or narrative. Certainly the case here. This is a safe story with safe characters and safe conclusion. Not that there has to be non-safe parts in a book. It’s just that a story can reach it’s heights if true conflict is introduced.

The characters are the best part of the novel. Most all are very well written. Even the security guards. The setting is extremely week. That becomes a problem early on involving an incident that is a catalyst for the rest of the story. The incident is poorly written as the author tries to imply there is more going on than the incident.

Overall the story is fine. I would have liked a bit more, but I always approach from the story angle not what I want…

Bottom line: I recommend this book. 5 out of 5 points.
