Christmas Angels: Three Heavenly Romances

Summary: 3 & 1/2 to 4 bright Christmas stars
Review: I'm not a huge fan of contenporary romances, but I really enjoyed these. Having said that, I probably would have enjoyed them more if I hadn't read them back to back...Just too much at once. For me, the humans are more interesting than the angels as a general rule, but perhaps that's because the angels seem too human sometimes and they explain too much. I do, however, like them very much as a device to set the stage for each romance/situation and to provide the function of an epilogue/look into the future -- although she's gotta quit saying that Gabriel rarely shares that info when he does so in every book.

Nevertheless, Macomber creates a wide variety of people, relationships, and situations. In Touched by Angels, she includes a Jewish couple (and family) for example-- Joshua's one of my favorite heroes in this trilogy, although Hannah is too meek-- and well as an inner city school. Ted and Joy of The Trouble with Angels are probably my favorite couple, but Paul's story dragged. I was having trouble sticking with Leah's story in A Season of Angels, but it was worth it in the end, and Chet and Monica were an interesting if unlikely couple.

If you're looking for some stories to get you in the holiday spirit, remind you of what's really important at this or any other season, and/or be uplifting while being romantic, Macomber's angel stories are just the thing.
