Packed with festive romance and fun, these two seasonal stories will melt any heart this Christmas. "A Cedar Cover Christmas" - Mother-to-be Mary Jo Wyse arrives in Cedar Cove on Christmas Eve, searching for her baby's father. David Rhodes had said he'd be in town. But he isn't, which leaves Mary Jo stranded, pregnant and alone. And there's no room at the local inn...However, the people in Cedar Cove are all willing to lend a hand ensuring there will be plenty of faith, hope and love this Christmas. "Call me Mrs. Claus" - Clare Keneally is a long-divorced maths professor with four adorable - and very mischievous - grandchildren. With Clare looking after the children for the holidays, their grandfather Jim also drops by and this starts the kids thinking...wouldn't Christmas just be perfect if they 'helped' their grandparents fall in love and get married again?

Comprising "A Cedar Cove Christmas" and "Call Me Mrs. Miracle", this is a nice seasonal pairing.

I preferred A Cedar Cove Christmas - we come up to date with the favourite characters from Cedar Cove, and, while the Christmas puns are a bit laboured at times (Mary Jo Wyse's three brothers run a garage called Three Wyse Men...) it is cheerful, sweet and not overly sentimental, with the dashes of humour and acerbity that Macomber does so well.

Call Me Mrs Miracle has a nice New York setting and more of a classic romance story as the heroine, looking after her nephew for her brother serving in Afghanistan meets a man who's not quite who she thought he was. I liked the first Mrs Miracle story I read, but the "angelness" of this series annoys me a bit, I'm afraid, even though it's done cleverly.

A nice undemanding and cosy read at a time when I needed that!

Will send on to Audrey shortly.
