Product Description
Love is in the air this Christmas! Christy was hoping to skip Christmas this year. Her kids have other ideas � they�ve put their dad�s name at number one on their Christmas list. So it looks as if Christy will be hightailing it up to the Lake District to play happy families with her ex! Snow-capped mountains and roaring log fires � Alessandro�s home is like walking into a Christmas card. Is it really safe for her to spend Christmas with her dreamy, funny � no! � entirely infuriating ex-hubby? Miranda has completely the opposite problem. Being single and pregnant at Christmas was certainly not her wish come true. She doesn�t believe in miracles, but then resident hunk Jake sweeps her off her snow-covered shoes. Come Boxing Day dare she dream that Mr Sex-on-Legs might be for more than just Christmas? �A picturesque and charming tale� Star magazine on Angels in the Snow

Format:Paperback
The sparkly cover for this one lured me right in and I'm happy to say that I had no complaints with the content either. This was perfectly frothy, festive chicklit with a guaranteed happily ever after. I also have to say that I was surprised to see this was a M&B- the cover just screams more modern, girly chicklit in the style of Sophie Kinsella or Jane Green- so bravo M&B for that!
The book contains two interlinking tales (that have been released previously by Harlequin) with some shared characters- the first is that of Christy, recently separated from her workaholic ex-husband who finds herself spending Christmas with him again at the behest of their two children. Pretty soon the sparks are flying once more and Christy wonders how she could have ever let him go...
**I really enjoyed this first story. It was nice to read about a woman who had established her own career and had children as opposed to some nubile twenty year old, though the rest of it did read like a more stereotypical M&B with the arrogant male lead and the woman falling a bit weakly at his feet as well as abundant misunderstandings. Christy was somewhat feisty though and the chemistry between her and Alesandro was evident, but he did seem to be a bit of a chauvinist pig at first! I also loved their interfering children and the Lake District setting and could vividly imagine Alesandro's house with its roaring log fire. I couldn't help thinking though that Christy and Alesandro could have just avoided all of their problems in the first place if they'd only talked- though I suppose that wouldn't have made for half as good a story! Overall I would rate this one 4/5- the love scenes were pretty good and the characterisation was decent.**
The second story starts immediately after the first, though admittedly it was a bit weaker than its predecessor. This one is about pregnant, single Miranda who is swept off her feet by gorgeous obstetrician Jake (who made an appearance in story 1) at Christmastime.
**Though I liked this story, I never quite connected with Miranda the way I did with Christy- she just came across as far too cynical and embittered with life. I loved Jake though- what a perfect (albeit unrealistic) specimen of manhood! I enjoyed his fleeting appearances in the first story so it was good to get to know him a little bit better this time around. I did enjoy how he and Miranda met though, and the chemistry between them was fairly enjoyable, though not as passionate as Christy's and Alesandro's. Overall I would rate this one 3/5.**
I would say to give this book a read if you enjoy well written contemporary romances and are feeling in a festive mood. This is ideal to curl up with at this time of year and I hope M&B re-release more Christmas compendiums of stories like this in future.

An excellent book with two amazing stories that made me spend some lovely nights reading...Both stories were really hot romantic and full of real love for a change instead of revenge and bitterness....very different plots yet both great ones.

This is my first Sarah novel and I have to say I couldn't put it down. At first, reading the first page I thought it started too similar to Fern Britton's novel, but as soon as you... Read more

Not as good as 'Angels in the Snow' (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
I read one of this author's books before Christmas and really enjoyed it. I was sceptical about it being Mills and Boon but found it a great read. Read more
