Book Review: Miracle on 5th Avenue
by Sarah Morgan
Publisher: Harlequin
HQN Books
Cold weather? Check. Romance
novel? Check. Warm blanket? Check. Cup of hot chocolate? Check. I was in the mood for a little
light hearted romance and I found it in this book. Apparently this is the third
book in a series but from my perspective this is a perfect stand-alone book.
The characters are so well developed that you are drawn right in and my hot
chocolate was soon forgotten and cold by the time I remembered it.
The leading lady in this book is a bright, sunny woman named
Eva. She is one of those people that are a friend to everyone they meet and
always find the positive in every situation. She’s struggling a bit with the
anniversary of her grandmother’s death and being alone for the upcoming
Christmas holiday. She’s hired to decorate a penthouse for Christmas by the
grandmother of the owner while he is away on holiday and she feels the job will
be a perfect distraction.
Lucas Blade, the famous thriller author, has other plans. He
is not on retreat in Vermont
finishing his next book. He is penthouse, hiding from the world and the memories
of his deceased wife as well as suffering from a crippling case of writer’s block.
His and Eva’s first encounter had me laughing out loud. I won’t spoil the
details except to say I could almost picture it in a romantic comedy on the big
screen.
Lucas is dark and moody and Eva is sunny and happy. The two
polar opposites of their personalities make this fun and engaging story. They
have the perfect example of a love/hate relationship. Eva begins to change
Lucas and she doesn’t even realize that he begins to change her too. She falls
for him but he takes longer to get there. Typical man. J
This is a quick, light hearted read but don’t mark it down
as a piece of fluff. It has heart and characters that you will fall in love
with. Sure, it’s a romance but it’s also a story of two people mending their
broken hearts. I hope you give it a chance and love it as much as I did.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.com in
exchange for an honest review.
