Blurb

When John Trent, a dedicated member of the new Bow Street Runners, finds an exquisite carved angel floating in the Thames, he can’t stop thinking about it. He tracks down its creator, a sad and quiet young sculptor. But neither the angel nor the sculptor is done with John just yet. The blasted angel refuses to leave him be, behaving not at all like an inanimate object should.

Alec Allston is resigned to the fact that his love will ever be a river that flows out and never flows in. All he wanted to do was create a special gift so that a small part of himself could be with his unattainable and noble beloved, always. But when the gift keeps showing back up at his shop in the hands of a windblown and rugged thief-taker, Alec will need to reconsider his conviction that love is destined to remain an ethereal ideal.

This book is one of seven stories which can all be read and enjoyed in any order.



The Christmas Angel Series

In 1750, a master woodcarver poured all his unrequited love, passion, and longing into his masterpiece—a gorgeous Christmas angel for his beloved’s tree. When the man he loved tossed the angel away without a second thought, a miracle happened. The angel was found by another who brought the woodcarver True Love.

Since then, the angel has been passed down, sold, lost and found, but its magic remains. Read the romances inspired by (and perhaps nudged along by) the Christmas angel through the years. Whether it’s 1700s England (Eli Easton's Christmas Angel), the 1880’s New York (Kim Fielding’s Summerfield’s Angel), the turn-of-the-century (Jordan L. Hawk’s Magician’s Angel), World War II (L.A. Witt’s Christmas Homecoming), Vietnam-era (N.R. Walker’s Soldier’s Wish), the 1990’s (Anyta Sunday’s Shrewd Angel), or 2018 (RJ Scott’s Christmas Prince), the Christmas angel has a way of landing on the trees of lonely men who need its blessing for a very Merry Christmas and forever HEA.



Carra's Review

If you’ve read my reviews of other historical M/M romances previously, you know I can be quite hesitant when deciding to read them since it’s too easy for them to be done wrong.  But Eli Easton nails it here in Christmas Angel with accuracy in the setting as well as the behavior and mannerisms of the characters.

John and Alec were a slight study of opposites—John as the big, tough guy who can actually be very sweet, and Alec as the more sedate, serious man who is an incredibly talented sculptor.  I felt so sad for Alec at the start, so I really liked how John was courting him, it felt romantic and put a smile on my face.  They were both wonderful characters, and I wouldn’t be able to choose a favorite between them.

Speaking of characters, there’s a great cast of secondary ones in the form of John’s fellow residents at the boarding house.  They all did a great job in their supporting roles and gave the story greater depth.


Though the series can be read in any order, I wanted to start with this one since it’s the earliest one in the timeline.  It’s the perfect starting point for the series, and sets the bar high for the rest of the books.  I highly recommend this to fans of both M/M historical romance and holiday romance, and give 4.5 stars for Christmas Angel!

She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, bulldogs, cows, a cat, and lots of groundhogs.

In 2018 Eli hopes to do more of the same, assuming they reschedule the apocalypse.
