A Cedar Cove Christmas by Debbie MacomberMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love Debbie Macomber books. A recent Hallmark movie based on one of her Christmas books inspired me to go to the library and look for another one of her Christmas stories. Although this one was enjoyable, I probably would have enjoyed it more if I was familiar with the Cedar Cover characters. I have not yet read this particular series.
Mary Jo Wyse finds herself very pregnant close to Christmas. The father of her baby, David Rhodes turned out to be a lying, sneaky scoundrel who is determined to "not do the right thing." Her three brothers are determined to track him down and force him into marrying their younger sister. Mary Jo may have been a fool when it came to David's charming ways, but she realizes now that he would not be a blessing in her or her unborn child's life. In order to prevent a messy scene, she travels to Cedar Cove on Christmas Eve to warn David's family of the wrath of the Wyse brothers.
This book loosely parallels the first Christmas story. There is no room in any inns for this soon-to-be mother in Cedar Cove, but through the kindness of strangers, this book has a feel good ending--perfect when you want a little non-commercial Christmas cheer.
