The Noel Stranger (The Noel Collection)

This book is a must read it will keep you surprised from beginning to end just as you think you are figuring it out it changes again

You can never go wrong with a Richard Paul Evans book. He really keeps you up turning those pages as quickly as possible. One of the most important aspects is that he can write a book that makes you touch on so many emotions, and you feel like your life has truly enriched when you finish one of his books. When I discovered his books a few years ago I actually got all of them at the library and read everyone of them in just about 2 weeks! It was time well spent especially since I was recovering from medical procedures. You're not going to get a lot of foul words or blood and guts so I highly recommend all of his books.

I have LOVED every Richard Paul Evans book I've read, which is most of them. This one, to me, seemed to slow a bit in the middle. I found myself not being particularly drawn in by the details of the story in that part of the book. However, it began to pick up and the end was quite unexpected and worth the read. I hate to only give it 4 stars, but that's only to differentiate between so many of his other works and this one. I realize this is subjective, but that was my take on it. Again, still worth the read!

Outstanding, that's why I chosen my rating. I recommend all his books he knows how to touch the heart and mind. Make you think about your own life and others. This is a story y brotherly love and how family really should be like, standing up and by one another. I don't know if I would go as far as Andrew did for my sister or brother, but I do know I would be there for support.

Once again Richard Paul Evans does an excellent job with this story.

I could not put this book down. I find that although Mr. Evans' books all seem to have a darker side, a sad side, a troubled side, they also end on a pleasant and uplifting note. This book is no exception. Filled with twists and turns, this love story is unique. Past hurts influence dreams and decisions, sometimes for good, sometimes not. Highly recommended read.

Richard Paul Evans' books are special to me. Reading his latest novel is a great way to start my Christmas season each year. His writing style greatly appeals to me, as there is always a message of hope in his words. The predictability of his books is a given: the death of a close relative, a messy divorce, an estranged parent. Christmas. Utah. You can almost count on these elements in each book he writes. I love that I don't have to worry about sex scenes or foul language in his books. I love the nuggets of truth and pearls of wisdom I find. I can use these in my daily life. However, this book fell a little short for me. I didn't understand the Spanish (sorry, but I don't speak Spanish). I also was confused by the twist of characters in the end. I didn't care for the bigamy (reminded me too much of 'My Five Wives') and there was too much alcohol referenced for my liking. Overall, I do enjoy Richard Paul Evans' books very much. However, if you are looking for a wonderful Christmas read by this author, I would recommend 'The Mistletoe Promise'. (It is MUCH better than the Hallmark movie that came from the book.) It is my gold standard for this author, so do yourself a favor and read that one instead. It will not disappoint.

I received this book on November 6, 2018. I knew it would be good and I didn’t have time to read yesterday when it arrived. I picked it up today at 11:00 am and decided to just read the first chapter. With laundry to do and meals to fix, I worked and snatched a reading moment throughout the day. Finished the book tonight at 9:00 pm. I couldn’t stop until it was finished. RPE has written another Christmas book to read and re-read. Love the Christmas books.

A renewed perspective on Gods blessing of Peace on Earth.

I faithfully read all his books..this one very very good

My favourite author another great read

I just love everything RPE writes!

Great story
