Seeking solitude and solace in an isolated Colorado cabin, Gabriel Bradley is annoyed when a very beautiful and very pregnant Laura Malone literally crashes into his peace and quiet. On the run and in fear for her unborn child, Laura finds herself stranded with Gabe in a blizzard. As they grow closer, Gabe and Laura must overcome their individual fears if they are to have a future together.
A stereotypical late 80s contemporary romance with an alpha hero and a submissive heroine.
Laura is not my preferred type of heroine. She is too shy and insecure, and it takes her far too long to find her backbone. Gabe, on the other hand, is right up my alley. His dark, brooding and mildly overbearing nature is, nevertheless, mitigated by his obvious love for Laura and her child; his scenes with baby Michael are simply adorable and make him all the more appealing as a hero.
The other plot elements are very 1980s, including the hero's wealthy and influential family, the marriage of convenience trope, and the nasty "other woman" who threatens the heroine.
Overall, Gabriel's Angel is a product of its time and does not really mesh with 21st century sensibilities. That said, Nora's writing is skilled and engaging despite the dated themes. ( )
