Angel of Kindness by Joanne Rawson is a romantic Christmas comedy, a short story for that long train journey or car ride. Megan Shepherd used to love Christmas. But then she used to love her husband as well until he ran off with a cleaner. Now she faces her first Christmas as a divorcee, spending it with her hippie mother, who is also bisexual, with a twig for a Christmas tree. Her friends decide to take her on a night out to a club they used to frequent as teenagers. Now under new management, the club has turned into a swanky nightclub and, when she sets eyes on the new owner, Richie King, she is transported back to her teen years when they used to date. She knows she should walk away, but somehow she can’t. Richie sweeps her off her feet and takes her to Christmas markets, on long snowy walks and for romantic meals in front of a log fire. Has he really changed? Is he hiding a deep dark secret that he doesn’t want her to know?
Angel of Kindness is another stunning short story from Joanne Rawson, the queen of short story romance. Quirky romance is the theme here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It drew me in and gave me a real holiday feeling. Joanne Rawson really thinks about her stories before she writes them and it shows. Lovely entertaining story, great story line and an all-round hit again. I love Joanne Rawson’s books and will keep reading them as long she publishes them.
