Previously appeared in No Place Like Home Dear Readers, This story was inspired by a trip to Savannah. I visited one of the area’s Civil War forts and became fascinated by the discovery that General Sherman and his men had arrived in a conquered Savannah on Christmas Eve. What sort of Christmas could they have had? From there, my imagination took over . . . Despite having been on opposite … there, my imagination
took over . . .
Despite having been on opposite sides of the war, Yankee doctor Josh Coltrane is unprepared for the continued bitterness of his long-lost love, Angel Summers. Can these two former sweethearts learn to forgive and forget the past?
I hope you enjoy reading Josh and Angel’s story as much I enjoyed writing it.

Christmas Angel (Kindle Edition) by Kat Martin .. I love this short Christmas story by Kat… Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for letting me preview this book. Angela Summers (Angel) Rebel who can’t forgive her love Josh Coltrane (a Yankee doctor) who sided with the North during the Civil War. It is the second Christmas in Savannah since the end of the war and Josh is back caring for wounded Yankee soldiers. This book to me back to those times with all the hardships, hurt feelings, love lost and found again, and the slow mending of hurt that gets to a very HEA. Willie’s part in this story tugs at your heart.
The Civil War divided family and friends and such is the case with Angel and Josh. When Josh decided to fight for the North, where his mother was from, he left Angel and the southern town behind. Now after the war is over and he comes back home, Angel and his friends cannot forgive him or let go of the war because the town was taken over by the Yankees. Both of them had changed so much. Josh had become a doctor in the war and Angel was bitter about it all. It seems there cannot be a way to breach the gap between them although they still have feelings for each other. Can they come together again when a terrible train accident happens and they have to pull together?
This was a time in history that changed so many people and in this short novella, the author brings the emotions forward. I was anxious to see what happened and I know you will enjoy this story. I read this through NetGallery.
This ia a wonderful, heartwarming story about loss, forgiveness, acceptance and love. Josh and Angel were in love before the war separated them. After the war is over Josh comes back to town and although there is alot of hurt and bitterness over the war, underneath it all there is love. Can it be reclaimed. Or did the path Josh chose separate them forever? This is a heartwarming story with wonderful characters and a great storyline. I would definitely recommend this book.
Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) This was a historical book and I normally love this author but this book was ok. So we meet Angel who is scrounging looking for supplies for her and her family to be able to survive. On a errand to gather more things she bumps into the love of her live Josh a doctor, these two had plans for the future when the war broke out and Josh fought for the union, and Angel never forgave him. Now he is trying to help out the soldiers who are hurt and trying to get back home when the train that are carrying necessary items is derailed and he is trying to get the people to help him without much success, even Angel didn’t want to help so I found her name or the title of the book misleading, any hoo eventually she does help and they rekindle their love.
