Debbie Macomber has written another heartwarming story
about angels
coming to earth to help their human charges. Guardian
angel, Harry Mills,
is on his first mission on earth and is finding humans to
be a bit of a
challenge. He assumes that everything is as kind,
peaceful, and easy as
they are in heaven.
First, he must meet with Celeste. She is his Angel
Mentor who will make sure he does what he is supposed to
while on
Earth. She is much younger than him, looks like a wild
teenager and
Harry has a hard time dealing with the fact that she is
basically his boss.
He's on earth, posing as an English teacher at the local
college, so he can help
Addie straighten her life out, and hopefully find love
for her also.
It is Harry's first time on earth so there is lot of
adjusting for Harry as well as
Addie. Addie has returned home after the death of her
father. She left six
years earlier, after dropping out of school and arguing
with her father. Addie
was determined to find success away from home, but has
failed. Her
mother welcomes her back home before Christmas, but
informs Addie that
she is going on a Christmas cruise with her friend and
neighbor, Julie, who
is also a widow. Julie is the mother of Erich Simmons.
Erich, the one person Addie dreads meeting again, is
living right next door.
Addie was infatuated with Erich when she was younger.
Erich frequently
made fun of Addie. He was downright cruel to her. She has
never forgiven
him for the deep hurt he caused. Erich is upset about his
accident and now
he needs to lean on Addie for support. Could it get any
worse? Can they
survive being in the same room? For two weeks while their
mothers are
away? The situation is hilarious, trust me!
Once you start reading MR.
MIRACLE, you will find yourself laughing out loud at these
two! Both Addie
and Erich have old feelings that are rekindled over the
holidays. Is it the
admiration or the fighting and bickering from the past?
Can they get over
their past and learn to like each other to survive the
next two weeks?
The romance between Addie and Erich is nicely done with
just the right
touch of magic - this is a Macomber Christmas novel after
all! The writing
style flows smoothly and MR. MIRACLE is an easy quick
read. The writing
is descriptive and I could feel the preparations of
Christmas and the cold
weather like I was right there. The characters are well
rounded and I
became emotionally invested in them right away. When
Harry meets the
French teacher, Michelle and experiences infatuation for
the first time, I
was giggling out loud. Poor Harry, didn't know what hit
him! MR.
MIRACLE is another wonderful Christmas story by one of my
very favorite
authors.
Harry Mills is a guardian angel on a mission: help
twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on
track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love.
Posing as a teacher at a local college in Tacoma,
Washington, Harry is up to the task, but not even he can
predict the surprises that lay in store.
After trying to make it on her own, Addie has returned home
to Tacoma for the holidays, but this time she plans to stay
for good, enrolling in the local community college to earn
her degree. What she doesn’t plan to do is run into Erich
Simmons.
Addie and her next-door neighbor, Erich, are like night and
day. Growing up, he was popular and outgoing while she was
rebellious and headstrong, and he never missed an
opportunity to tease her. Now she intends to avoid him
entirely, yet when they’re suddenly forced to spend
Christmas together, Addie braces for trouble.
Perhaps it’s the spirit of the season or the magic of
mistletoe, but Addie and Erich soon find they have more in
common than they thought—and that two people who seem so
wrong for each other may actually be just right. With a
little prompting from a certain angelic teacher, the two are
in for a holiday miracle they’ll never forget.
