Mr. Miracle

Mr. Miracle by Debbie Macomber

Harry Mills is a guardian angel on a mission: help twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love. Posing as a teacher at a local college in Tacoma, Washington, Harry is up to the task, but not even he can predict the surprises that lay in store.

After trying to make it on her own, Addie has returned home to Tacoma for the holidays, but this time she plans to stay for good, enrolling in the local community college to earn her degree. What she doesn’t plan to do is run into Erich Simmons.

Addie and her next-door neighbor, Erich, are like night and day. Growing up, he was popular and outgoing while she was rebellious and headstrong, and he never missed an opportunity to tease her. Now she intends to avoid him entirely, yet when they’re suddenly forced to spend Christmas together, Addie braces for trouble.

Perhaps it’s the spirit of the season or the magic of mistletoe, but Addie and Erich soon find they have more in common than they thought—and that two people who seem so wrong for each other may actually be just right. With a little prompting from a certain angelic teacher, the two are in for a holiday miracle they’ll never forget.

I rarely miss reading a Debbie Macomber book. I usually love them but this one was a little off to me. I wasn't a fan of Harry. For an angel he had a great deal to learn about humility. He came in to this assignment thinking he knew everything and really he knew nothing. 

Addie was coming home because she couldn't make it where she was. She was very juvenile, as soon as she was home she was acting like she was a teenager instead of the adult she actually was. When Erich, the next door neighbor tries to help her she immediately rebuffs all of his efforts and its just because of things that happened when they were kids. Her mother is trying to make it through the first holiday without her father and its difficult for her. 

All in all the premise of the book wasn't horrible but I was left unsatisfied. Characters were introduced and talked about but there was no resolution with them, I suppose they could be wrote about in a future book. The book itself felt rushed and I feel like I might have been better off not reading this book at all as this series about Angels haven't been favorites all around for me.
