Wouldn’t staying in an Inn at Christmas time be enchanting? In Christmas Angels, Liz Westmoreland has fond memories of spending Christmas and summers at her Grandparents Inn at Angels Creek and dreams of the day when she can return to the Inn as the owner. When she notices that the Inn is up for auction, she makes a bid and learns she is the successful bidder. Having bought the Inn sight unseen, she is disappointed to see that the Inn has been transformed into an art gallery and needs a lot of work to bring it back to its former glory. Luckily, she meets Matt Hardy who works as her contractor to restore the Inn. Matt remembers Liz from her childhood times at the Inn and has always had a crush on her.
One of the most beautiful things about this story is Liz’s memories of her Grandparent’s collection of Christmas Angels. She is sure they are lost to the previous owners of the Inn, but when they start showing up at the Inn she is obviously delighted. She feels this is a sign from her Grandparents that she made the right decision in restoring the Inn.
This story is perfect for those who love a Christmas story. I loved the location of the story and the sense of the community looking out for one another. I believe this will be a Hallmark Christmas movie and I look forward to watching it portrayed on film. I listened to the audiobook version of this book and enjoyed Kristin Kalbli’s performance.
