![]() ![]() ![]() Historical romances between men set in the eighteenth century are often steeped in religious guilt and secrecy and Christmas Angel doesn’t break that general rule. When John meets Alec not once, but twice, due to the mysterious angel figurine, for the first time he hankers to actually pursue a relationship with the waifish man and sets out to woo him to his side. She convinces him to go on with life-despite his pain and sadness. Interestingly, theirs was not a physical relationship, but rather one of deep affection-something the naïve Alec agreed to and cherished.Īs the story opens, it is this break up that finds Alec paused to hurl himself off a bridge to his death, only to be stopped by a beautiful woman-an angel who he later immortalizes in the wood he loves to carve. That someone happened to be a man who threw Alec aside in order to marry as was his duty and then tossed the gift Alec had given him to remember him by as well. They cross paths when John finds a carved angle floating in the river and discovers it was made by Alec and he had given it as a gift to someone. One, Alec Allston, is a sculptor used to dealing with the upper echelon of society and the other, John Trent, is effectively a detective for the magistrate known as a Bow Street runner. Set in the late 1700s, it covers the lives of two very different men. ![]() Eli Easton’s offering from The Christmas Angel collection is entitled Christmas Angel. ![]()
