About this ebook
Next stop: Hell. Unless . . .
He was a driven, heartless businessman, trampling anyone who got in his way, until one night when his grinchy-heart exploded. Now, he's back on earth with a second chance to avoid his fate. His task? To right three of his wrongs. Fail, and he's not going to like how his story ends.
All her fault . . .
Carrie Alexander lives a quiet life in a tiny town in Minnesota, recovering from a broken heart and her guilt. She'd been fool enough to fall in love with her heartless boss, and she'd not only been kicked to the curb, she'd brought down the whole town with her. She's doing everything she can to make up for the disaster she wrought, and she has no time for the stranger who appears at her door on a wintry Thanksgiving night--no matter how angelically beautiful he is.
He's going to need a miracle . . .
Healing the town is a relatively simple matter. Fixing lost souls will be a piece of cake. But how the hell can Gabriel heal the woman he's fallen in love with, knowing he's going to abandon her once again?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've been slowly picking up Anne Stuart's backlist. This one's from 1993, and it won the 1994 RITA award for Best Futuristic/Fantasy/Paranormal Romance. It was well-deserved.Emerson MacVey was a ruthless, greedy, uncaring man, until he had a massive heart attack and died at the age of 32. Now, 17 months after his death, he has one last chance of avoiding hell--he'll return to earth in another body, and within one month, he has to make amends to 3 people whose lives he destroyed. The fine print: he gets 3 miracles--one per person, and there'll be someone there to keep an eye on him, and he can't tell anyone who he is or why he's there.The first person, and the only one whose name he's told, is Carrie Alexander. She'd been his secretary for 3 months, and he fired her on Christmas Eve. She was also the only person who'd cried when he died.Carrie had thought she'd seen the good hidden under Emerson's cold exterior, and she'd fallen in love with him. And when her hometown's only industry was collapsing, she thought she saw a way to help both him and her town, since his business was buying and selling businesses. Instead, he bought it and closed it down, dooming the town, and broke her heart.Now she's being eaten up by the guilt, and making amends in the only way she can think of--being the town's resident angel.So when Gabriel Falcone's car ran into a ditch near Angel Falls, Carrie was the one who looked after him.Falling Angel is a sweet story of love and redemption, sort of a cross between A Christmas Carol and Heaven Can Wait. But it avoids the saccharine sappiness of so many Christmas redemption romances, by making the emotions real rather than forced, and by giving both characters real dilemmas instead of simply the expected self-sacrifice.Carrie's not just your usual milquetoast altruistic heroine, and Emerson/Gabriel isn't just your usual hero who only seems unfeeling because he hasn't yet learned to love. They're a lot more 3-dimensional than that. The rest of the town is likewise real, and because of that, you care about what happens to them.This is, I think, the quintessential Christmas romance--it's what so many stories aspire to, but so few completely achieve.
