Review: Merry and Bright by Debbie Macomber
Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She’s taking care of her family, baking cookies, decorating for the holidays, and hoping to stay out of the crosshairs of her stressed and by-the-book boss at the consulting firm where she temps. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Without her knowledge, Merry’s well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her—minus her photo—and the matches start rolling in. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl.
Soon Merry finds herself chatting with a charming stranger, a man with similar interests and an unmistakably kind soul. Their online exchanges become the brightest part of her day. But meeting face-to-face is altogether different, and her special friend is the last person Merry expects—or desires. Still, sometimes hearts can see what our eyes cannot. In this satisfying seasonal tale, unanticipated love is only a click away.
OMG, what a great read!
I have been wanting to read Debbie Macomber for a long time but I haven't been able to so far. A co-worker had just finished reading this book and she recommended it to me knowing how much I like romance and I ended up borrowing it from her.
From the first moment that you meet Merry and her family, you cannot help but fall in love with them. Especially her brother Patrick.
Jayson for his part is a dichotomy of a hard-ass boss and sweet thoughtful male.
There were a couple of things that bother me about this book. One of them is that although the book expands about a month by the time they meet in person it feels like insta-love.
But this does not take away from how much I enjoyed the book it is just a couple of quirks that are my own.
I really recommend this book if you want a light sweet quick read since I finished the book in about a day.
