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. MY REVIEW MERRY AND BRIGHT by Debbie Macomber is everything you want from a Christmas story and more. Merry Knight knows the joy and importance of a close-knit family as the Knights have always been there for each other, especially helping out her Mum who has MS and her younger brother Patrick. Taking a year out of college to work, Merry is thriving at her temporary job even if the boss is a curmudgeon, but her social life is definitely at a standstill because she simply doesn't have the time. But when her mum and brother decide to play matchmaker, Merry finds herself in an online romance with Jay, who seems to be her perfect match in every way, but when they arrange to finally meet, a shocking revelation is waiting for them... I am a huge Debbie Macomber fan and find her books enthralling and beautifully romantic, and MERRY AND BRIGHT is no exception, and it has the added bonus of Christmas loveliness to make it even more perfect! I really enjoyed the characters of Merry and Jay and their deep connection that develops even though they have never seen each other. While they both had completely different childhoods, they both are searching for something meaningful and real, and it was such a pleasure to watch their friendship develop. With plenty of romance, drama, and misunderstandings, MERRY AND BRIGHT by Debbie Macomber is the perfect Christmas read and I highly recommend it!
