A Winter Wonderland - Fern Michaels

The Story...

Angelica Shepard left New York for Christmas in Colorado to relax and unwind - but an out-of-control snowboarder almost had her laid to rest. When she wakes up in the hospital, all she remembers is the handsome angel who saved her...

A Reader's Experience...

A compelling tale of two lonely strangers brought together through a little holiday destiny. Yes, it's all very fairy tale cliche, but sometimes a little magic has a good effect on the spirit.

Angelica and Parker are connected through their crisis of careers - him questioning his legitimacy as a doctor after losing a patient, and her a struggling actress waiting for a break. It's not hard to tell that both have noble ambitions but that both are facing discouragement and setbacks in the process. It seems that the love and bond they found in one another was what brought clarity to their goals and allowed them to move on as individuals with renewed determination. I appreciate the friendly reminder that out of uncertainty, fear, and accidents can come the road to where you are meant to be. Add to the mix the dorky, fluttery romance of first instincts and fumbled reactions, and the story is a feel good keeper.
