The Gift a romance novel by Nora Roberts

Roberts has re-released 3 books in this one: Home for Christmas, All I Want for Christmas, and Gabriel’s Angel. Two of these are Christmas stories and since it’s the holiday season I thought I would read it now. I liked the first 2 stories more so I’ll focus on those.

In Home for Christmas, Jason Law is an international reporter who returns to his home town for Christmas 10 years after he left. When he left he left his girlfriend behind with the understanding that as soon as he got settled he would send for her. But it took a little while for him to get a job and established and when he called his girlfriend, Faith, he found that she had married someone else. So now he comes home and makes a surprise visit to Faith and meets her daughter. Faith doesn’t trust him not to break her heart again, so he has some fences to mend. There is also a surprising twist that you’ll have to read about.




In All I Want for Christmas, 6 year old twins Zach and Zeke mail a letter to Santa saying that they want bikes and a Mom for x-mas. They spot who they want for a Mom and their Dad, Mac, falls for her. Mac has a lot of baggage, like having his wife leave him with adorable twins when they were infants, so he doesn’t trust easily. He keeps thinking that Miss Davis is going to go back to the big city to live so he’s afraid to put his heart out on the line and the hearts of his little boys. He screws it all up and realizes that it’s too late and that they all love her already.

In Gabriel’s Angel, Gabriel rescues a pregnant woman, Laura, from a car crash in a snowstorm and they are stranded together in his cabin. They end up getting married and Gabriel inadvertently ends up delivering the baby. Their life together starts off with many difficulties from their pasts, his brother’s death and the parents of her late abusive husband threatening to take the baby. They have to work through their issues to really trust each other with their hearts.

These are some fun holiday stories written with the typical greatness of Nora Roberts other stories.

Happy Holidays!
