It’s the Christmas
season. Merry Knight is extremely busy. In addition to getting ready
for Christmas and taking care of her family, which includes a mother
with multiple sclerosis and a brother with Down’s Syndrome, her
boss at the consulting firm where she works is increasingly difficult
and demanding because of a big project that must be finished.
Christmas is also
Merry’s birthday. Since she has no time for social life, her mother
and brother decide that something must be done about it. They sign
her up on an Internet dating site. Her little brother comes up with a
clever idea for the picture. He posts a picture of their dog.
Surprisingly this picture attracts a man. Soon Merry is chatting with
this man and finding him very attractive.
This is a delightful
Christmas story. Merry is a good character. You can’t help but
respect her desire to take care of her family. However, it’s the
family that steals the show, particularly her little brother. It was
wonderful to see how charming a child with Downs Syndrome can be.
I recommend this
story for Christmas or if you just love romance. The characters are
well drawn. Their emotions are true to life and make you root for
them to succeed. Although you know how the story must end, you want
to keep reading because the characters are so likable.
I received this book
from Penguin Random House for this review.
