#REVIEW - Mr Miracle, A Christmas Novel by Debbie Macomber


Description

Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber celebrates the most wonderful time of the year in this heartwarming Christmas novel of romance, hope, and the comforts of homecoming soon as a Hallmark Channel original movie!
Harry Mills is a guardian angel on a mission: help twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love. Posing as a teacher at a local college in Tacoma, Washington, Harry is up to the task, but not even he can predict the surprises that lay in store.


After trying to make it on her own, Addie has returned home to Tacoma for the holidays, but this time she plans to stay for good, enrolling in the local community college to earn her degree. What she doesn’t plan to do is run into Erich Simmons.


Addie and her next-door neighbor, Erich, are like night and day. Growing up, he was popular and outgoing while she was rebellious and headstrong, and he never missed an opportunity to tease her. Now she intends to avoid him entirely, yet when they’re suddenly forced to spend Christmas together, Addie braces for trouble.

Perhaps it’s the spirit of the season or the magic of mistletoe, but Addie and Erich soon find they have more in common than they thought—and that two people who seem so wrong for each other may actually be just right. With a little prompting from a certain angelic teacher, the two are in for a holiday miracle they’ll never forget.

MY TAKE:
5+++ STARS!!!
This NEW "Mr Miracle" book will be a HALLMARK MOVIE to be aired on December 2014, "Mr Miracle", stars Harry Mills (Rob Morrow, who you may recall from 'Northern Exposure' (I LOVED that TV series!) and from 'Number3s', (another TV series I LOVED! You know, the ONLY cute guy in that series! He was an FBI Agent!) He is coming down from Heaven this Christmas Season for a 'trial basis' as a Guardian Angel! It will air on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6th! I found that out from doing a little online research! ALL thanks to the Hallmark Channel! AND Debbie Macomber's NEW book, Mr. Miracle (remember Mrs. Miracle? YEP! Woo-hoo, now the angel is a good-looking MAN! The Hallmark Channel has adapted this book to a movie! 
So Harry Mills, is a brand 'NEW' guardian angel here on Earth doing his trial run for his initial mission, (and now the rest is from the publisher!) is here to help twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love. Posing as a teacher at a local college in Tacoma, Washington, Harry is up to the task, but not even he can predict the surprises that lay in store! (I took a little liberty with this description up above, just so you know!)
You will FLY through this 233 page book, it is THAT GOOD! I started it and it was over! I LOVED it! I especially loved the parts when Harry Mills was put into predicaments with women! He felt things he NEVER felt in heaven! LOL!!! I couldn't stop laughing!!! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to keep reading this story! Let me tell you that you will be cracking UP SO HARD at some of the predicaments Harry Mills gets himself into during his FIRST TIME ON EARTH! Oh, my! I never laughed SO hard and out loud as I did while reading this book! I was irritating my husband who was trying to read himself! (I really didn't care! This book was just THAT GREAT! LOL!!!) This will be one book you can't miss and one movie you will WANT to set your DVR on just in case some Holiday event pops up, a family get-together (Boring! As compared to this show!) or another show is on you cannot live without! The scenarios he gets himself stuck into is with a particular WOMAN! LOL! Mind you, this angel has never felt the attraction to a woman such as this assertive and aggressive woman! You can't help but to laugh! 
Celeste is an angel here on earth as well, and she is what seems to be Harry's Supervisor, in a way. She knows EVERYTHING that goes on with everyone! She is a riot! I loved her! She even knew how Harry would feel around women! That, was a HOOT as she explained it!
We also learn about neighbors, Addie and Erich. Both of their mothers are friends, and have planned to take a cruise this Christmas together. The problem happens when Erich falls and breaks both of his wrists. It is suuggested that perhaps Addie helps to take care of Erich so both their mothers can still go on the cruise! Sparks stark to fly between them, and by the end of the book they are kissing!!! Under the mistletoe, of course! Ooooo! I LOVE this story!
Little do we know, that is ALL we are told! The rest must be in another book, or in the movie! At the end of this book, we get a sneak-peak at 20 pages of this author's NEXT Christmas book, Starry Night! That book promises to be very warm, loving, life-like as all Debbie Macomber's novels are, and a book you'll want to pre-order! I received this book for FREE from the Publisher, Ballantine, and NetGalley, in exchange to read and write a review about it. "Free" means I was provided with ZERO MONIES to do so, but to enjoy the pure pleasure of reading it and giving my own honest opinion no matter whether it is positive or negative.

    1. Hello Librarian Lavender!
      Thanks for leaving a comment! Yes!!! You are going to LOVE this book! My only disappointment about her books is they are too short! LOL! I can't ever seem to get enough of Debbie Macomber's writing, especially about the angels who come down to earth in human form! This author MUST be a very happy person to come up with the ideas she does! I can just imagine her, say in her kitchen in the morning thinking about what she is going to write, and getting SO excited when an idea pops into her head! She must be SO GIDDY about it!! LOVE that vision!! She is VERY gifted!
      I just LOVED how naive this new angel was about so many 'human' things, especially women and the way humans 'feel'! SO neat!
