Books : A Cedar Cove Christmas (Cedar Cove)

Rating: - Very Sweet Christmas Romance
It's Christmas Eve and Mary Jo Wyse hasn't heard from David Rhodes, the father of her soon to be born baby, in months. Her three brothers want to confront him, so she slips off to Cedar Cove, where she thinks he is staying, to warn him. She doesn't find him, but is feeling unwell, and decides to spend the night in Cedar Cove. The problem is - there's no room at the Inn and soon Mary Jo finds herself staying in a room above a stable filled with animals used in a Nativity pageant. All of this sounds familiar to Mary Jo and she wonders if she'll have a Christmas miracle of her own, perhaps delivered by Mack McAfee.

"A Cedar Cove Christmas" is Debbie Macomber's very cute take on the Nativity story. She doesn't waste any time referencing the story - the heroine's name is Mary Jo Wyse and she has three brothers (the Wyse men) who bring her the appropriate gifts. Macomber throws in several other references to the Nativity story that I won't spoil for readers. All of this is very cute, if unbelievable, and I read the entire book with a smile on my face. Setting the novel in Cedar Cove is an added bonus for Macomber fans and it's nice to visit the Cedar Cove residents in between books in the popular series. Grace and Cliff Harding and Olivia and Jack Griffin are featured prominently in this book and it's nice to see them, especially to see how Olivia is doing in her struggle with cancer. There are also some nice surprises involving some of the series regulars. Unfortunately while the developing romance between Mack and Mary Jo is sweet it's not totally believable and I hope Macomber develops it further in future books.

"A Cedar Cove Christmas" is a very sweet romance that is perfect holiday reading.

Rating: - ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
I absolutely loved this book. I must admit to being a Debbie Macomber fan and a Cedar Cove fan. This book is so endearing for the holidays - so many metafors toward the actaul Christmas story. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
