MIRACLE AT CHRISTMAS, a new novella by Debbie Mason, is a delightful addition to her Christmas, Colorado series. While the basic plot, big city girl is sent to small town to close an important local business right before the holidays, has been done many times before in Christmas books and movies, Ms. Mason has found a few new twists and turns to make it all seem fresh again.

The real strength in Ms. Mason’s story is in her characters. Charlotte Bailey is a strong woman who works for her family’s business. When everything starts coming apart around her due to her ex-husband, she becomes even more determined to save the family business and to do the right thing for those around her. Her love interest, Dr. Matt Trainor (AKA Dr. McSexy), loves the small town of Christmas and its residents. Matt works with Charlotte to save the hospital she has been ordered to close.

The town is all decked out for the Christmas season and there are plenty of cheerful townsfolk to add to the Christmas spirit. While most of the townsfolk have appeared in other books in the series, I didn’t feel that I had missed anything by not having read them all. This novella works well as a standalone read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this pleasant little story that can easily be read in one sitting. The plot was complex and satisfying enough, however, that I felt like I had read a full-length novel. I’m looking forward to the next visit to Christmas, and I hope we have the chance to check in on Charlotte and Matt.

I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This was a cute, enjoyable Christmas read. It took me a while to re-acclimate to the series, but once I did I flew through the pages and thoroughly enjoyed the story!

Miracle at Christmas was the perfect little escape to Christmas, CO that this girl needed last night.

I have loved the books in the series that I have read so far (need to go back and read a few) and I couldn't wait to get back there.

While the premise isn't new (in either Christmas or non season books and movies) Ms Mason put her own sweet twist in the tale that had me devouring the story. I couldn't help but get swept away with Charlotte and Matt and the folks of Christmas. You will have your fingers and toes crossed that a Christmas miracle will set things right.

And Charlotte finally standing up and taking no crap from nobody? You go girl!

I LOVED getting more of the Christmas locals, they had me laughing and smiling as I read.

Just the thing that I needed to get me into that Christmas spirit.

Favorite Quotes:

She’d gone bat-crap crazy. Nothing that three stitches on Jeremy’s backside hadn’t taken care of though, and what was the loss of a few strands of hair? Samantha wore extensions anyway. But according to the couple, Charlotte had created a scandal of epic proportions by opening the doors wide for all the guests to get a full-frontal view of the adulterous pair, including Samantha’s much older husband.

A former soap opera star, the beautiful brunette was affectionately known in town as Diva #1, and her sidekick, Ty, was known as Diva #2.

Her “Thank you” came out a little breathy and squeaky. She sounded like she’d sucked in a lungful of helium.

Home is where the heart is, and you stole mine.

My Review:

Miracle at Christmas was a quick, eventful, and engaging read that covered a considerable amount of topics and social issues. Family drama, humor, small-town living, failed marriages, corporate corruption, matchmaking, traffic accidents, several red-eye flights, protests, domestic abuse, amusing observations, and a sweet romance were all packed into the month of December. Poor Charlotte. The beauty and peacefulness of small town living was lost on Charlotte as she had been sent – banished really – from her beloved New York City after exposing her philandering husband and his fellow adultering board member mistress while they were bumping uglies on the conference table during last years Christmas Party. Ho, ho, ho indeed. She didn’t take it well and they threatened to sue over her slightly over the top reaction. As a result, Charlotte was the one to be repurposed, far, far away, to a small hospital in her father’s company in Christmas, Colorado. Her father promised it was just for a year, but her father was also a piece of work and more than a bit of a weasel himself. One year later, instead of her triumphant return, both Charlotte and dear old dad both got an unpleasant shock when the ex-husband turned out to be much cagier than expected as dad had been ousted from his own company and Charlotte was in danger of unemployment if she didn’t toe the line and perform devastating duties back in the small town she had just departed. The small town of Christmas, where she was already widely unpopular for her less than stellar efforts at sociability (none) as well as the cost-cutting initiatives she had implemented on the job. And tensions were going to get so much worse. But Santa’s elves were quietly working behind the scenes, and apparently, Christmas miracles occur for those of all ages, whether they believe in the North Pole or not.

Debbie Mason’s new Christmas novella, Miracle at Christmas, is the perfect escape from the crazy of the holiday season. It is the perfect length for a good cup of cocoa or a nice glass of wine. Charlotte and Matt are the perfect “didn’t see this coming” couple. While Nell’s hand is evident, it is subtle, in honor of her retirement. Fans of the series will devour this one. New readers will enjoy the escape and feel like long-time visitors.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novella.

This was such a fun, sweet, and heartfelt story that made me incredibly happy! I officially want to read more about Christmas, Colorado!

This was a super entertaining story. It's a novella so it's pretty fast paced but there were just the right amount of details to keep things moving along at a great pace. I really enjoyed Matt and Charlotte, their personal dilemmas and the development of their relationship. They have a subtle attraction that's really endearing and I enjoyed how they came together.

The writing was really good and I thought it was laid out well so it felt like a full story. There's a bit of drama and tension but for the most part it's got a light, happy vibe happening.

There were a lot of lively characters introduced. I assume they’ve been in previous stories in this series, this is my first time reading this author so they’re all new to me. It was fun meeting everyone even though it was a bit hectic since there were so many of them. That being said, it makes me want more of the Christmas, Colorado series so I want to back track and read previous stories.

Really witty, sweet read. A total feel good read to bring a little holiday joy!

I've not read any of this author's books about Christmas. There were so many characters and different things going on that I felt lost. It just seemed silly.

Charlotte and Matt are at odds; she has to close the hospital where Matt works. All he wants is for her to love his town as much as he does. Entanglements ensue. A fun book to e joy although I think we all know how itwill end.

Like the characters and story flow. Fun read as the romance grows. Fun to follow the romance path of the characters. Would recommend.

After Charlotte Bailey caught her ex cheating on her she headed off to Christmas, Colorado to try to save the local hospital from closure. After a trip back to her home in New York though where she thought she would be in for a promotion and returning permanently Charlotte finds herself being forced back to Christmas to close the hospital when her ex took over the seat on the board of Bailey Industry from her father.

Charlotte has gotten to know the residents of Christmas, Colorado during her time managing things at the hospital during her assignment from Bailey Industry. She doesn’t know how she’s going to take the hospital away from them, especially Dr. Matt Trainer or as he’s known around the hospital, Dr. McSexy. Now that she’s back in Christmas Charlotte finds herself growing closer to Matt despite all her attempts to keep her distance in this small town.

Miracle at Christmas by Debbie Mason is a contemporary romance novella that is a companion read to the Christmas, Colorado series. As with most romance series each book in the series features a new couple from this small town so they can be read in any order or as standalones if choosing to do so. There are hints and appearances of previous characters though as the story unfolds in the current book for those fans of the entire series to get updates on the characters they’ve come to love.

For me from the time I read the synopsis of this book to the time I was actually done reading I was greatly reminded of Grey’s Anatomy television series. Instead of doctors McDreamy and McSteamy Christmas, Colorado has it’s own Dr. McSexy and the story line is one of saving the hospital while beginning a relationship so I knew I should love this one and thankfully that was true. Would definitely recommend this one to the romance fans out there with it’s lovely writing and small town vibe with a great story.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
