SUMMARY

Charlotte Bailey needs a miracle. She came to this sleepy little Colorado town to keep the local hospital afloat, but now her scrooge of a boss is demanding she close it down. Charlotte is going to need all the help she can get, even from Dr. McSexy--er, Dr. Matt Trainer--if she's to save Christmas before, well, Christmas!

All Matt wants for Christmas is for Charlotte to give it--and him--half a chance. But with the town looking to him to save the hospital and Charlotte itching to get back to New York in time to see the city decked out in lights, Matt doesn't have much time to make things right. But he's got faith--after all, miracles happen every day in Christmas.

Favorite Quotes:



She’d gone bat-crap crazy. Nothing that three stitches on Jeremy’s backside hadn’t taken care of though, and what was the loss of a few strands of hair? Samantha wore extensions anyway. But according to the couple, Charlotte had created a scandal of epic proportions by opening the doors wide for all the guests to get a full-frontal view of the adulterous pair, including Samantha’s much older husband.


A former soap opera star, the beautiful brunette was affectionately known in town as Diva #1, and her sidekick, Ty, was known as Diva #2.


Her “Thank you” came out a little breathy and squeaky. She sounded like she’d sucked in a lungful of helium.


Home is where the heart is, and you stole mine.

 


My Review:



Miracle at Christmas was a quick, eventful, and engaging read that covered a considerable amount of topics and social issues.  Family drama, humor, small-town living, failed marriages, corporate corruption, matchmaking, traffic accidents, several red-eye flights, protests, domestic abuse, amusing observations, and a sweet romance were all packed into the month of December.  Poor Charlotte.  The beauty and peacefulness of small town living were lost on Charlotte as she had been sent – banished really – from her beloved New York City after exposing her philandering husband and his fellow adultering board member mistress while they were bumping uglies on the conference table during last years Christmas Party.  Ho, ho, ho indeed.  She didn’t take it well and they threatened to sue over her slightly over the top reaction.  As a result, Charlotte was the one to be repurposed, far, far away, to a small hospital in her father’s company in Christmas, Colorado.  Her father promised it was just for a year, but her father was also a piece of work and more than a bit of a weasel himself.  One year later, instead of her triumphant return, both Charlotte and dear old dad both got an unpleasant shock when the ex-husband turned out to be much cagier than expected as dad had been ousted from his own company and Charlotte was in danger of unemployment if she didn’t toe the line and perform devastating duties back in the small town she had just departed.  The small town of Christmas, where she was already widely unpopular for her less than stellar efforts at sociability (none) as well as the cost-cutting initiatives she had implemented on the job.  And tensions were going to get so much worse.  But Santa’s elves were quietly working behind the scenes, and apparently, Christmas miracles occur for those of all ages, whether they believe in the North Pole or not.

Olivia Davenport has finally gotten her life back together. She's left her painful past behind, started over in a new town, and become Harmony Harbor's most sought-after event planner.

Favorite Quotes:



Well, she was here, just not here, here. She’d been dead— or undead as the case may be— going on seven months now. Perhaps “passing” would be a more accurate term because she seemed to be betwixt and between. She’d seen the light all right, only she’d been lollygagging, worrying about the ones she was leaving behind, and therefore missed the magic carpet ride to heaven.


Chard-a nay-nay.


How had she not noticed that the smiles and laughter that she’d faked for so long, that she’d felt only on the surface, had become real and bone deep? She’d never expected to be truly happy again. To have those moments of pure joy that set your heart and mind on fire.




My Review:



More secrets were exposed, a slow burn romance developed, and the ghostly hauntings continue in the latest installment of this cute series.  Family dramas take center stage with a unique plot twist among the large cast of characters.  I enjoy the humor and creative storyline and look forward to the widows and family meddling with the remaining two brothers.
