GRR Reviews Nothing Short of a Miracle by Carol Henry

Nothing Short of a Miracle is an "enemies into lovers" story combined with suspicions, secrets, and misunderstandings. It was a fun if a bit comedic tale, but mostly sweet for the holidays.

Gabriella Rumsey's became a single mom overnight, while she's in graduate school, when her sister and her husband both died in a car accident, leaving her in care of their 3-month old daughter. One night, she was rear-ended (gently) by a Mustang, and the jerk of a driver threw her $200 and drove off. She went off to find part-time work due to dwindling resources, and someone pointed her to the Hampstead household as a home health aide, and the old lady in the wheelchair couldn't be nicer, and she even loved babies! Except... that when she saw the Mustang man again... He's Chad Hampstead, who's also a bestselling author under a pen name, and this was his parent's house. He had been burned by a golddigger before, so he only saw red when he found the same girl in his home, probably trying to worm more money out of him. But his parents invited her to move in, which saved her commute time over Chad's protests. And Chad obviously still has reservations about Gabby, but even he can't deny how sexy Gabby is, or how good she is with his parents... and the baby was so cute...

Well, you know how these novels go. Both characters are well-rounded, and while the second meeting is a bit serendipitous, that's how fun stories happen, right? Rather enjoyed the story
