MIRACLE CREEK CHRISTMAS

When Riley Morgan moves to the sleepy mountain town of Miracle Creek, she hopes her new job as a high school art teacher will help her mend her recently broken heart. A little peace and quiet would be a gift this Christmas season. The last thing on her mind is love.

Former firefighter Mark Rivers has spent the last year recovering from burns sustained during a rescue operation. He's been trying to piece his life back together but still struggles both emotionally and psychologically. When he meets Riley, he finally sees something that might bring some light back into his life. 

When Mark asks Riley to work on a special nativity project, he finds himself falling for her quirky, unaffected ways. Riley doesn't seem bothered by his scars, but is her affection for him real, or is this just another act of charity? One thing's for certain, in a small town that views Mark as a fragile hero, it's hard to pursue a relationship without everyone in his business. And although Riley has sincere feelings for Mark, is she ready to risk her heart?

Broken hearts and lives are mended as the town of Miracle Creek comes together to celebrate a Christmas to remember.

My Review:

published in 2020

This was a relisten for me -- and it was just as good the second time around. i Think Miracle Creek Christmas will be a holiday reading staple for me every year.

Call me bibliophile-addled into stunned silence...for a minute or two, anyway...'cause I can't let the opportunity to wax poetical over this novel pass me by. I am in serious Miracle Creek Christmas book love!!! What a stunning, moving, brilliantly funny, captivating -- and every other glorious adjective you can think of -- story!

And right off the top I have to tell you that I listened to the audible edition narrated by Christine Williams and I'm convinced her performance enhanced my 'reading' enjoyment even more. The way she delivers the 'banter' lines had me laughing out loud. 

What a richly layered story. In plot and characterization. In the way Riley and Mark come together, the way their stories entwine as they both reach their own personal epiphanies. Tears and laughter -- sometimes both at the same time! Jensen's words held me spellbound and I savored every blessed word. Pure Christmas magic!
