Publisher Description

Dr. Janice Thornton has been lonely for too long, especially at Christmas. But Angel Ridge, Tennessee, the one place that holds the key to what family should be, is offering her a chance at a new life. Could she find happiness by taking over her uncle's small-town practice?

Local contractor and carpenter Blake Ferguson comes from a big family. He'd like to fill his rambling old Victorian with one of his own. But there's one problem. He needs a wife! When Janice shows up at his house, Blake sets a course to win her, but soon finds she's built a wall around her heart this master carpenter finds difficult to dismantle.

Can the magic of an Angel Ridge Christmas bring hearts home or will old hurts create an obstacle even the town's legendary angels can't overcome?

"This book was fantastic! Janice was raised with the best of everything except the love from her parents. After becoming a doctor and joining a partnership she thinks her life is running pretty well. She receives a call from her great uncle requesting her to come visit. Wondering what he could want beings she doesn't even remember him, she agrees to see what he wants from her. The day she arrives she stops in front of the house were her grandparents lived and starts thinking back on the few visits she was able to spend with them. As she's looking at the house she watches a very handsome man climbing a ladder to hang Christmas lights and is thankful that the person who bought the house wants to care for it the same way her grandparents did. He reaches for something and falls off the ladder, not even thinking she rushes to see if he's injured. Her bond starts to form with Blake when he lets her help decorate the bushes with lights since she has never decorated anything in her life. Later while visiting with her uncle she finds that he wants her to take over his private practice in this little town of Angel Ridge so that he can retire. Not really knowing what she wants to do, she decides to take the weeks between Thanksgiving & Christmas to see if she is willing to leave what she is so familiar with and start over. She also has to decide if she wants to further her relationship with Blake. Not knowing what love is she doesn't know whether anyone can really love her or if she is able to love anyone. She sees a few patients and gets closer to Blake. When she starts thinking things can possibly work between them Blake is late picking her up for the dance in town. His brother comes for her to get medical help for his wife. Blake's younger brother has stolen most of his girlfriends from him through the years and when he sees Janice leave with him he thinks the worst. After following them he doesn't ask questions, but accuses them of being together which sends Janice fleeing. Now he has to find a way to get her back so he can make things right. He does do a good job. I laughed, cried and didn't want it to end. Highly recommend.:)"

    " I read through this book, quickly around the Christmas holiday. I wanted a nice romance. It was really good, even though I think the main character was a bit old for her uncle to be treating her like a 15 year old child at times. At least Janice the main character took it with grace. "

    " How does a big-city doc and a small-town doctor begin working together? Big-city doc grew up in Angel Ridge, Tennessee. Now her family home belongs to a single man who is spending time restoring the house to its original state. Small-town doctor is an elderly man who still enjoys an afternoon of fishing...in between caring for the medical needs of the town's residents. In a twist of events all of these elements are stirred together for a fascinating read. Of course, an element of romance in tossed into the mix along with traditional small-town family values. This book is one to be enjoyed. "

    " Again wishing for half stars...this one is a 3.5 for me. It was a cheesy romance that I wouldn't enjoy had it not been for the Christmas theme. It was a good book and could substitute as a great Hallmark holiday movie! "

    " Although it was a typical romance plot, I found the characters to be well developed. I did think that the ending seemed to be a little rushed. All in all, an enjoyable read for a Christmas story filled with the magic of Christmas, angels and forgiveness. "
