she is the co
owner. They renew their relationship and things are going so
well. Until
Lucie finds out something about Aren she isn't sure she can
get over. Will
the angels intervene and show these two how stubborn they
are being?
I really loved catching up with these angels. It was like
being with old
friends. ANGELS AT THE TABLE was filled with love and always
the
laughter you expect when reading this series. I read this
book on Christmas
afternoon and I was filled with a very sweet easy feeling
after reading it. As
always, Debbie Macomber never disappoints me when I want to
read a feel
good, clean, loving story.
In this joyous and whimsical holiday novel, Debbie Macomber
rings in the season with the return of Shirley, Goodness,
and Mercy, delivering laughs, love, and a charming dose of
angelic intervention.
Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel’s work is
never done, especially during a time as wondrous as New
Year’s Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their
wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager
to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely
strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect
time to lend a heavenly helping hand.
Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into
each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New
Year’s Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a
lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a
respected food critic. But just as quickly as they’re
brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart,
leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect.
A year later, Lucie is the chef of an acclaimed new
restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major
New York newspaper. For all the time that’s passed, the two
have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening—and
neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite
the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix
true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of
mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle.
