The Barnes & Noble Review: In Nora Roberts's beloved holiday classic, resissued in a special gift edition, two lonely people running from the hurts of the past find each other by chance -- and eventually decide to take a chance on love. Portrait painter Gabe Bradley has isolated himself in a mountain cabin, trying to recover from the pain of his brother's death. He meets Laura Malone, who is eight months pregnant, when her car nearly skids into him on a snowy, deserted Colorado road. Laura, a well-known model, is on the run, trying to protect her unborn child from her wealthy in-laws, the Eagletons. It was bad enough they tried to cover up the death of her abusive, alcoholic husband, but now they hope to seize custody of the baby. By the time the storm is over, Gabe and Laura have reached a level of understanding and agree to a marriage of protection and need. Their wedding day turns into the baby's birth day, and by the time the Eagletons make their move, both Gabe and Laura are ready to take a stand for the future. As always, Roberts's characters are tremendously appealing. The progression of their awkward marriage rings true, as does Laura's developing relationship with her new mother-in-law, and Laura and Gabe's experiences as new parents. Ginger Curwen ""From the Publisher: From New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a classic tale of romance to warm your heart this holiday season, Gabriel's Angel. Pregnant, alone and on the run to protect her unborn child, Laura Malone found herself stranded on a snowy Colorado road, at the mercy of a stranger. Fortunately, Gabriel Bradley's only intention that fateful night was to provide her shelter. She was an angel with midnight blue eyes and a shock of blond hair, and Gabe might have thought she had come out of the snowy night to save him -- if he were the kind of man to believe in such things. But ever since he had lost his beloved brother, he had lost hope. Now the only solace Gabe took was in his solitude. Together they weathered the storm, sharing their intimate secrets and soon powerful passion. By the time the roads had cleared, a promise had been made. For Gabe understood Laura needed protection if she hoped to keep custody of her child through the coming court battle. \n\nFor her sake, he was prepared to offer marriage. But his motives weren't nearly so pure. Truthfully, this beautiful, vulnerable stranger had given him an invaluable gift. Life with Laura had given Gabe a reason for being -- courage to hope, and the power to dream that he could have the future and the family he had once dreamed of . . . #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts is "a storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent," according to Publishers Weekly.
