4 Stars.....Sweet contemporary romance with sweet pets in the plot.  As the story begins, Maddie Barrymore is lost, broke, and pregnant.  Swerving on an icy, snowy roadway to miss hitting a kitten, her car slides into a ditch.  Thanks to the kindness of a stranger--not to mention a huge misunderstanding Maddie doesn't bother to correct--she has a roof over her head, a kitten, Ginger, and a son, Zach.The story jumps forward five years later...Maddie has paid that kindness forward--taking in those who temporarily needed a roof over their heads, and helping them get back on their feet.  Without warning, Logan MacLeesh, the real owner of the house, shows up and finds Maddie living in his house.  Oddly enough, Logan isn't upset. Instead, he's drawn to her spunk and empathy for those needing a helping hand in life---in fact, that's exactly what he needs, at this time; at least, emotionally.  He has plenty of money--but he's lost his muse.  In a moment of fabled flashback to The Arabian Nights; Logan asks Maddie to stay IF she'll tell him a story every night.  Quirky as that sounds, she agrees.Maddie and her small son, Zach, amuse Logan.  After a bad relationship with a woman he refers to as 'the dark queen, he feels numb to love--betrayed in the recent past.  Despite the fact that he's slowly falling in love with Maddie, when he gets word that the dark queen from his past, Olivia, is dying, he drops everything and goes to her.  Maddie is hurt that he'd  just turn his back on her that quickly, and walk away.  She realizes she loves him and wishes he'd come home for Christmas.There's much more to this tender story, and I definitely recommend you read it, if you like a light romance, and if you like pets in stories.  In CHRISTMAS AT ANGEL LAKE (Rescued Hearts #2), everyone finds their forever homes.I received this complimentary book fom Net Galley and Blue Walrus Books in exchange for an honest review.
