Search - Gabriel's Angel

Don't let this book fool you. It appears to take place during Christmas, due to the snow and holly on the cover, but it takes place from April-June and no mention of holidays. Otherwise it was a fairly good story, but a little dated.

I really enjoyed this book. I had swore off Roberts for a while because they were just getting too predictable and were not holding my interest. This book though was very very good. I read it in one sitting and even though parts of it was predictable it was still enjoyable enough to keep me reading and enjoying! Highly recommend this one as a quick and fun read.

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.

For 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 give 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....

love this book a great read

Good read. All of Nora Roberts are excellent stories!

Pregnant and alone, Laura Malone, gets stuck on a Colorado road in the middle of a blizzard. Gabriel Bradley, a renowned painter, rescues her and brings her to his home to ride out the storm.

Both have suffered losses with different results. Gabriel his beloved brother and he no longer feels a reason to live. Laura has lost a philandering, abusive and wealthy husband and is now running from his parents who are determined to take her child from her as soon as he is born. She believes that they will be able to because they have money and can hire lawyers and manipulate the system.

Gabriel takes her with him to San Francisco, partly because he wants to marry her and partly because his attraction to her has reignited his will to lie.

A light and interesting read, although I have to say I really can’t imagine any court taking a child from a birth mother and turning the child over to the grandparents.
