About this eBook

Angels. Emma Cramer doesn’t consider herself an angel by any stretch of the imagination. Temporarily stranded, broke and unable to pursue her dreams of working in the big city following her mother’s death, Emma’s life changes when she rescues a small child and a puppy who get trapped in a garage where Emma’s truck has finally breathed its last . The girl’s relieved and grateful grandmother believes Emma has been sent by angels because her family needs temporary help. She offers Emma a job, a good salary and a place to stay until after the holidays. It seems like a Christmas miracle for both of them.

Angels often appear when least expected, but when the most needed. Cynical sheriff and rancher Cole Drayton has heard that all his life, but he’s never been in the market for much else. He can take care of his daughter, his ranch and his family on his own without his meddling mother, but his long protected heart and desire for isolation is no match for a beautiful stranded stranger and a misfit puppy who make his daughter laugh and him feel alive again.

Can unsuspecting hearts intersect at the moment when love and trust is needed most? Anything is possible with the magic of the Christmas season and faith in the Christmas angels 

Ratings and reviews

This was such a good romance. It was very sweet and had a Christmas setting but can be ready at any time. Cole was comfortable with his life as a rancher and interim Sheriff. He and his little girl were doing fine on their own. But Cole’s mother, Mae, didn’t agree and was always trying to play matchmaker. He was tired of his mother’s interference in his life, and a bit annoyed by it. She was delighted when he told her she could hire someone with computer skills to get his office in order. Finally, she could help him in some way. In the meantime, Mae had been looking after the little girl, Charlie. One day Charlie ran into an old garage after hearing an animal whimpering. Mae went after her but couldn’t get through the small space. It was at this time that Emma came by and stopped to help. She rescued the puppy and child. After learning that Emma was looking for a job and had just graduated from college, Mae offered her a job with a great salary and a place to stay. After the hard life Emma had, she couldn’t believe her luck at the offer. Even though Mae did exactly what he had asked of her and hired someone to organize his paperwork, Cole was suspicious of his mother’s motives. Especially when he is attracted to the woman she hired. His wife leaving him when their child was still a baby turned him off women. He doesn’t trust them and does not want a relationship. Mae was the best. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and loved. Cole was a grump at first but turned into a great guy once he accepted that Emma wasn’t like his ex. Emma proved she was dependable by organizing the business records and caring for Charlie. Even though she had low self-esteem, she knew she was good at her job and loved all parts of it. Especially Charlie. But Charlie was the one who’s everyone’s lives revolved around. As it should with a child. She was a sweet little girl with a cute puppy. This story will pull you into the Christmas spirit and make you believe that miracles can happen. I’m so glad I won this book from Library Thing. You’ve got to love a book that leaves you with a tear in your eye. This is a wonderful Christmas story and I definitely recommend it.

True to form , Ms Holt gives us another engaging story in her Texas Lawmen series. This one is the story about Sheriff and rancher, Cole Drayson and Emma Cramer, a young woman trying to overcome the obstacles life has given her, and find a job in a large city. One that will allow her to use her recently acquired degree. Both Emma and Cole have had losses and disappointments in life. Cole’s ex left him and his sweet daughter when the child was only a year old, and never looked back. His opinion of women is quite low and feels they always have an ulterior motive. Emma gets involved with his family when she rescues both his daughter and a stray dog. In this story, Ms Holt reminds that even though life is full of ups and downs, there is always hope, second chances in life and love, and that maybe , we should believe in miracles and angels. Taking chances in life might hurt us , but those chances might also bring a new beginning and love. A sweet story about the spirit of Christmas filled with a well developed plot and characters. One that will be enjoyed by all. I was gifted this copy by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

The Sheriff's Christmas Angels is a phenomenal holiday romance by Debra Holt. Ms. Holt has provided readers with a well-written story populated with an outstanding, lovable cast of characters. Emma is heading to a new city for interviews she has lined up when she stops for gas and ends up meeting Charlie and her grandmother, Mae and rescuing a puppy. Cole was shocked senseless when her rolled into his bed at his mother's house and mayhem ensued. He wasn't happy that his mother had hired Emma to do his books and help with Emma. Cole and Emma's story is packed with drama, humor and spice. I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to reading more from Debra Holt soon. The Sheriff's Christmas Angels is book 4 of the Texas Lawmen Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.
