After a difficult childhood, Harriet knight came to rely on her twin and
older brother. Now that her siblings have found true love, she's ready to
take back control of her life. She's created a challenge for herself:
during the month of December, do one thing every day that scares her.
So far she's tried online dating, which is an epic disaster. One good
thing did come out of that terrible date—she meets Dr. Ethan Black.
She first meets him in the Emergency Department after twisting her
ankle jumping out of a window to escape her date-gone-wrong. He
takes the time to make sure she's not in trouble. Harriet co-owns a dog
walking business, and when a trusted client leaves her dog in the care
of her brother, Harriet is surprised to see that it is Ethan again.
This second meeting does not go well. Madi, a skittish cocker spaniel,
is scared in her new surroundings and destroys everything in sight.
Ethan comes home to chaos after a horrific day and loses his temper
causing Harriet and Madi discomfort. At first, Harriet is unwilling to
leave Madi with him. But the more she talks with him, the more she
realizes he's having a bad day. With Madi's comfort her main priority,
Harriet rearranges her schedule so she can dog sit; something way
outside her comfort zone. The more time she spends with Ethan, the
more she relaxes around him. Ethan knows there's something about
Harriet, but he also knows that he's terrible at relationships. Is it worth
the risk?
MOONLIGHT OVER MANHATTAN
wraps up the second From
Manhattan With Love trilogy quite nicely as Harriet, the last of
three siblings, finds her happily ever after and gains confidence at the
same time. The challenges lead to some funny moments, but also
serious reflection. Both characters blame themselves for past mistakes,
causing them anguish in their personal lives. Ethan's failed marriage
and hectic work schedule lead him to believe he's not the type of man
who has lasting relationships. Harriet's horrific relationship with her
father leads her to believe she is unworthy of love. During their
interactions with each other, they share their pasts and gain hope
towards the future. While most of the book takes place in Manhattan,
part of the book takes place in Vermont. Readers from Morgan's
previous books will recognize the Snow Crystal resort and the family
that runs it. If you haven't read that series yet, go back and do so!
She'll risk everything for her own Christmas miracle…
Determined to conquer a lifetime of shyness, Harriet Knight
challenges herself to do one thing a day in December that
scares her, including celebrating Christmas without her
family. But when dog walker Harriet meets her newest client,
exuberant spaniel Madi, she adds an extra challenge to her
list—dealing with Madi's temporary dog sitter, gruff doctor
Ethan Black, and their very unexpected chemistry.
Ethan thought he was used to chaos, until he met Madi—how
can one tiny dog cause such mayhem? To Ethan, the solution
is simple—he will pay Harriet to share his New York
apartment and provide twenty-four-hour care. But there's
nothing simple about how Harriet makes him feel.
Ethan's kisses make Harriet shine brighter than the stars
over moonlit Manhattan. But when his dog-sitting duties are
over and Harriet returns to her own home, will she dare to
take the biggest challenge of all—letting Ethan know he has
her heart for life, not just for Christmas?
