The Angel Between Them

Rate this book
Her walk of fame stalled. He’s smarting from rejection. Can a bright-eyed orphan restore their faith and offer them a second chance at love?Olivia Daniels can’t believe her career is over. After the struggling actress’s director boyfriend calls it quits, she heads back to her small hometown determined to transform her parents’ ailing B&B into a wedding venue. But with the success of the business hanging by a thread, her only hope lies in the helping hands of the handsome man she once spurned.

The last thing Ethan Stone needs is one more mouth to feed. So when an orphaned relative shows up on his doorstep, the financially strapped landscaper swallows his pride and accepts work from the gorgeous woman who chose stardom over becoming his wife. And wondering how his still-wounded emotions fit into God’s plan, he’s surprised when his astute little ward reminds him forgiveness is divine.

As Olivia’s attachment to hearth and family grows, she fears she’s caused too much hurt to open up Ethan’s damaged heart. And even though Ethan feels the sense in the child’s persistent nudging, he’s wary of risking another bout of pain.

Can they reconnect their souls and embrace a match made in Heaven?

The Angel Between Them is the charming first book in the Huron Cove Christian romance series. If you like bighearted characters, delightful matchmakers, and wholesome themes, then you’ll adore Rob Shumaker’s happily ever after.

I enjoyed a romance from a male point of view.

I really enjoyed this perspective. I get a bit tired of the endless angst of a lot of female characters. Mr. Shumaker told a story in a straightforward way with great characters and dialog. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Ethan and Emma, the foster child he became responsible for. She was hilarious! Thank you for the entertaining few days. Makes me want to visit there.

A very good story of second chances for all concerned. The eight year old girl was lovely but had a very formal way of speaking - perhaps because of being brought up by "Aunt Millie" but it mildly annoyed me. The hero's best friend was an absolutely unlikeable character which seemed quite strange. Otherwise, a lovely tale.

The angel between them

This is best book I have read this year. There is surprise, heartache and drama in this story. A little girl, named Emma shows up at Ethan's door to let him know she is there to live with him. He is single and does not know any thing about raising children.

Great Story

First book I have read by this author & I loved it. No violence, no sex just a wonderful story about how a 8year old orphan changed the lives of two people and led one back to church so he could open his heart. I didn’t want the story to end.

Nice love story

Ethan and Olivia had a rocky break up...because Olivia wanted to be a major movie star and Ethan stayed behind.finding their way back to each other will be tough... but their premise on love still exists. Wonderful first book in the series.

It’s like watching a movie.

Enjoyed reading and could picture the scenery in my mind. I’m not good at making book reviews but all I can say is that once you start reading it you will not stop until you’re done.

Heart-warming!!

Thanks to a precocious 8 year old distant cousin brought to his doorstep, Ethan's life changed. Emma's insight into his love for Olivia caused both their lives to change .

A Sweet Tale

A sweet tale of second chance love. Through the help of an eight year old orphan who is wise beyond her years, old flames are rekindled when deftly brought together. Lovable characters, and godly values, make this story an enjoyable read.

This was a great story...full of heartache, new beginnings, good decisions, bad decisions, and faith. The characters are ones you would like to know and scenery you would like to see. It's a clean story which I appreciate.

Generally enjoyed, but found the main female character poorly fleshed out. She came off as really wishy-washy, self-centered and annoying. I wondered why, beyond her physical beauty, the main character would even want her.

The Angel Between Them

This was a good book. Not complex, kind of corny and unrealistic but still a good read. It is Christian based.

Sweet read

A sweet, pleasant read. My only complaint is how many words you require for a review. I would write more reviews if they could be shorter

Cute story.

This is a cute story, but I was distracted by the head-hopping between the characters. It was difficult to keep in the story.

Heart Warming

I loved the story of the child. She was the main character in my opinion. Children are shining lights that soften hearts and this book nailed it!
