About this audiobook

A heartwarming Christmas story filled with the magic and miracles of the holiday season by USA Today Bestselling author, Nancy Naigle.

Growing up, Liz Westmoreland dreamed of taking over her grandparents inn located in the small mountain town of Antler Creek only for it to be sold before she ever got the chance. While browsing the internet, she stumbles upon a listing for what looks to be the picturesque inn and it’s set to go to auction. Liz places a bid, and by a miracle, wins the auction. But when she gets there she finds the property in significant disrepair.

When Matt Hardy narrowly lost the inn and property that butted his land, he just hoped it wasn't another city slicker coming to make matters worse after the previous owners gutted the place for an art gallery. But the minute he recognized the sweet, freckle-faced girl from his childhood and heard her plans to reopen the inn, he jumps at the chance to help his childhood crush restore a place where he made so many fond memories.

While working on repairs, Liz and Matt discover her grandmother’s collection of angels in one of the cabins. When the angels start mysteriously showing up all over the inn, she begins to look at them as reassurance—that restoring the inn is what she's meant to do. But when an accident leaves Liz feeling like she made a mistake, will Matt—and the residents of Antler Creek—be able to show Liz that she's found a home? And possibly true love as well?

Ratings and reviews

Reading Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle was like reading a Hallmark movie rather than watching. This heartwarming Christmas story is filled with the joy, magic and miracles of the holiday season. Growing up, Liz Westmoreland was happiest when she spent time visiting her grandparents at their inn in a small mountain town. Since then, it has been her dream to run the inn and when she accidently encounters it for sale on an auction site grabs it, sight unseen. As one might expect, the property and buildings are not in the best of shape and in need of a lot of work to return the inn to its former glory. After losing the inn and the land that adjoins his, Matt Hardy is hoping that the new owner appreciates the place unlike the previous. Imagine his surprise when he recognizes his childhood crush as he jumps at the chance to restore and renovate the place that produced so many wonderful memories. While working on the repairs Liz and Matt encounter her grandmother’s collection of angels, in one of the cabins. As these angels start mysteriously appearing all over the inn, Liz looks at them as a sign; that restoring the inn is what she is meant to do. When an accident leaves Liz feeling that she made a mistake, it takes Matt and the residents of Antler Creek to show her that she not only found a home but also finally found true love. Ms. Naigle wrote a sweet love story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sexual chemistry, wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters giving Liz and Matt a chance at happiness by creating a forever love. I highly recommend Christmas Angels to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Sometimes, fate is on your side. Liz stumbles upon her grandparents inn and bids on it sight-unseen. But, it's not quite how she remembered it, almost a money pit. She discovers Matt through a new friend, and he helps her renovate the inn and cottages. Angels appear--her grandmother had collected then--in the most unusual of places. A sign of hope for the inn, especially when things seem to go wrong. But, working with Matt is everything right, and the town has embraced her, bringing life and light back to their mountain town. Matt and she love the town and all of the Christmas magic, and hopefully, they will find a way into each other's hearts. A wonderful, slow burn, Christmas romance. **Received a review copy on Netgalley**
