Book: Call Me Mrs. Miracle (Angelic Intervention book #8) by Debbie Macomber
Rating: 4 1/2 stars
Review:
Even though I think I like the Hallmark movie a little better, I thought this was a wonderful Christmas story. It had the loveable yet meddlesome Mrs. Merkle (better know as Mrs. Miracle) getting hired at Finley's department store where she finds herself not only selling the hottest toy of the season but also involving herself in the personal lives of several people including store manager Jake Finley and his father the store owner J.R. Finley and Holly Larson and her nephew Gabe.
This was such a delightful and lighthearted book that it's perfect for curling up on the sofa on a snowy day. It will have you happy for the holiday because it's filled with the charm of the season.
In the story, readers meet Jake Finley who is dealing with a huge problem. He had ordered a large amount of expensive Intellytron toy robots despite his father J. R. Finley the store owner and Mike, the store's buyer thinking he's made a tremendous mistake of purchasing such a large amount of robots especially when they doubt the toys would even sell. And with the stores profit on the line, Jake truly needs a miracle if he's ever going sell those toys. Which is exactly what he gets or better yet exactly whom he gets.
Jake isn't the only one stressed out, Holly Larson who has recently been taking care of her nephew Gabe since his father (her brother) had been deployed to Afghanistan, has been trying to figure out the best way to take care of Gabe. Not to mention she has a stressful job as an assistant to a very temperamental fashion designer. And added to Holly stress is that the only thing that Gabe wants for Christmas is one of those super expensive Intellytron robots. With her budget a bit thin, Holly is left trying to figure out how to get one for him.
Amongst all this holiday stress is a wonderful love story blooming as well as touch on grief and loneliness. There's a lot of heart in this story and I think the author did a really good job with both the story and the characters.
