Christmas with an Angel by Debbie Mason
4.0

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher. This does not affect my opinion of the story or the content of this review.

Christmas with an Angel
by Debbie Mason is a short (and I do mean short, it’s only 4 chapters) story that immediately follows [b:Mistletoe Cottage|29214596|Mistletoe Cottage (Harmony Harbor #1)|Debbie Mason|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1475511895s/29214596.jpg|49448086], giving light to Michael Gallagher after his fiancé leaves him the day before their wedding.

I’ll admit I was curious to see how Michael’s story would play out. He came off as indifferent and aloof in my opinion during [b:Mistletoe Cottage|29214596|Mistletoe Cottage (Harmony Harbor #1)|Debbie Mason|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1475511895s/29214596.jpg|49448086]. He was the consummate playboy in his youth and now that he is a man he is ready to settle down. The problem is he chose the wrong woman to do it with. I like Michael. He’s driven and smart, he doesn’t hesitate to go after what he wants. Is he down in this story? Absolutely!! The woman he thought he loved turned out to not be who she thought he was and to be honest he seems relieved. I can’t blame him for that one.

Shay Angel is the girl that got away. Michael fell in love with her as a teen, but his mother had other plans and when Shay was caught with his car at 17, she went to jail and Michael was forced to move on. Now he’s back and her uncle needs his help. Shay is caught up in a scheme that could cost her more than time in jail, it could cost her life. So Michael is on a mission again.

There is a lot of story packed into 54 pages!!! Overall I enjoyed it. It was a quick read over the weekend during this busy holiday season. There’s not a lot of romance for this contemporary romance book, but it does tell a sweet story about two people who never forgot each other. I think it sets up the characters for a story later on if the author so chooses but also gives enough closure to their story that readers can presume what will happen to them. If you’re looking for a quick read and enjoyed [b:Mistletoe Cottage|29214596|Mistletoe Cottage (Harmony Harbor #1)|Debbie Mason|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1475511895s/29214596.jpg|49448086], I highly recommend you pick up a copy asap!
