With Christmas approaching and wild twin boys to raise alone, Seth Webster needs a miracle. His home is in chaos, the latest in a long line of exasperated housekeepers quitting in disgust, and he needs help keeping his family together. And then it arrives on his doorstep. Her name is Mrs. Merkle, but the kids call her "Mrs. Miracle"--and from the moment the warm, knowing, and very patient nanny appears, everything is different. Her sassy spirit is infectious, and it gives Seth the courage to approach Reba, a beautiful travel agent who's been hurt and betrayed and is afraid to ever love again. Through the magic of faith--and with a little help from a children's Christmas pageant and a lot of encouragement from Mrs. Miracle--Seth and Reba might just be able to find a Christmas miracle of their very own: true love.… (mere)
Like this author's feel good stories but there is too much repetition of the characters thoughts. Good lesson of learning not to speculate what another person is thinking because you often do not know all the background about their lives. Kids call their housekeeper Mrs. Miracle and she lives up to the name by knowing just what characters need. Liked the wisdom quotes at beginning of each chapter since they are good for everybody to follow. ( )
I really enjoyed this Christmas romance. I bought this at Wal-Mart and I voluntarily chose to review this story. I've given this a 5* rating. There was funny and sad parts with this. Both the hero and the heroine are grieving about something in their past life. Add twin boys and a special housekeeper and things start getting more interesting. I laughed and got a little teary eyed with this special Christmas story. This is just one of many great books by this author. ( )
The sum of its parts equals a touching story about how much we need one another to survive the trials and tribulations of this life, but also celebrate the moments that we should never take for granted. It shows us how a single woman wronged in the past needs to let go of that hurt despite it coming from family. It brings us a widowed single father bringing up two boys the best he can but unable to crawl out from beneath his grief. It shares the memories of a long term marriage falling to pieces when they no longer seem to see eye to eye. It shines a light on a busybody with a loose tongue that finds judging others through a place of faith (at least in her mind's eye) thoroughly satisfying without her ever taking a step to assist in sorting matters she knew nothing of. I know, it sounds harrowing, nay depressing even, but trust me...that's merely laying the groundwork for Mrs. Miracle's...I mean, Mrs. Merkle's appearance.
