176. Call Me Mrs. Miracle


Call Me Mrs. Miracle. Debbie Macomber. 2010. 253 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: Jake Finley waited impatiently to be ushered into his father's executive office--the office that would one day be his.

Premise/plot: Call Me Mrs. Miracle is a holiday romance novel by Debbie Macomber. Jake Finley is managing the toy department. He's gone with his instinct and ordered an [insane] number of a particular robot toy. [His father is NOT at all happy.] It will take a miracle to sell them all by Christmas. Holly Larson is raising her nephew, Gabe, while his father is in Afghanistan. The two aren't quite bonded yet. She's struggling. He's struggling. Everything seems messy and chaotic. It would take a miracle for them to have a truly magically great Christmas. The toy he wants [you guessed it THE ROBOT] is way out of her budget. Enter Mrs. Miracle....

My thoughts: I liked this holiday-themed romance. I liked the characters. I did not see the big surprise coming. It was lovely.
