MIRACLE ON 5TH AVENUE is the third in the romantic, sexy
From
Manhattan with Love series by Sarah Morgan. The
series is about three best friends from Puffin Islands, a small
island on the coast of Maine, who move to New York to make a
life for themselves in the big city. The friends are closer
as ever and make a go for it by starting their own events
and concierge services company while dreaming of finding
love on the side. All three books in the series can be read as
standalone however the reason you should read the first two
is besides the three best friends there are other
characters that appear in all the stories. Also, it will give
you a better understanding of Eva\'s character; same is
applicable for whichever friend\'s book you pick up first and
it is such a romantic and beautiful series that it will
definitely put you in a good mood once you\'ve read them all.
In MIRACLE ON 5TH AVENUE we see a different side of Eva, who
so far has
come across as a bright, bubbly full of sunshine and hope
character. Since this is her love story we see her flaws,
quirks and qualities up close. Eva\'s character is not
complex but has different layers and yet there is a
beautiful simplicity to her. Being a true romantic and
believer in love, Eva, despite feeling lonely, after her
grandmother\'s demise, hopes to find the love of her life
this Christmas. Just a month before Christmas Eva takes up a
job offer from a friend Mitzy, who happens to be the
grandmother of the reclusive bestselling author Lucas Blade.
Mitzy wants Eva to decorate home for holidays and stock the
fridge with food while Lucas is away at a writing retreat.
Eva takes it up but doesn\'t look forward to it with her
usual optimism to spend time alone, house sitting,
decorating and cooking while New York braves a blizzard like
snowfall. Braving loneliness, Eva, hands full with shopping,
heads to Lucas\'s empty apartment only to be taken by
surprise; she soon finds Lucas is hiding in the apartment
and not in the least welcoming of her.
What happens next is Eva ending up staying to complete the
job and Lucas despite his agitation warming up to her. Soon
the unwelcome guest turns into a muse for the writer who is
facing his worst writers block. Eva is optimistic and has a
happy nature but we soon see that she is not all sunshine
and has her moments of sadness and gloom. Lucas, on the
other hand is more of a pessimist. He doesn\'t see love the
way Eva does and soon that causes clashes between them,
which I see more as amusing tiffs between two people who are
attracted to each other but don\'t want to acknowledge it out
loud. Soon they fall for each other but when Eva bravely
confesses her love for Lucas, his fear makes them go their
separate ways. What happens next is how they break the
emotional walls around them and give each other a chance.
Having read the other books in the series I thought Eva will
be all bubbly and happy however she was not all happy and
chirpy. The fact that she had darker moods, fears and quite
a few crying moments made her character more likeable and I
enjoyed her romantic side as much as her logical and sad,
gloomy moments.
MIRACLE ON 5TH AVENUE will show you how love happens more
than once and
there are different types of romantic love too. Set in the
wonderful backdrop of New York during Christmas sprinkled
with snow and festive cheer, MIRACLE ON 5TH AVENUE will
shatter your doubts about loving a second time. You will
enjoy the tension and thrill between Eva and Lucas and by
the end of it will believe in loving again after a heart
break you thought was the end of love in your life.
Hopeless romantic Eva Jordan loves everything about
Christmas. She might be spending the holidays alone this
year, but when she’s given an opportunity to housesit a
spectacular penthouse on Fifth Avenue, she leaps at the
chance. What better place to celebrate than in snow-kissed
Manhattan? What she didn’t expect was to find the penthouse
still occupied by its gorgeous–and mysterious–owner.
Bestselling crime writer Lucas Blade is having the nightmare
before Christmas. With a deadline and the anniversary of his
wife’s death looming, he’s isolated himself in his penthouse
with only his grief for company. He wants no interruptions,
no decorations and he certainly doesn’t appreciate being
distracted by his beautiful, bubbly new housekeeper. But
when the blizzard of the century leaves Eva snowbound in his
apartment, Lucas starts to open up to the magic she
brings…This Christmas, is Lucas finally ready to trust that
happily-ever-afters do exist?
