Merry Me is about random acts of kindness and the chaos that ensued. It's definitely a holiday feel-good novel and may be a bit too sweet but definitely a warm and fuzzy read.
Police Chief Duncan had been a grinch since his mom passed away 3 years ago, and his job kept him busy with his father in his house. When an anonymous gift basket showed up on his doorstep, he is determined to return the gift so it could be given to someone needier. The quest lead him to Lynn Carpenter, a single mom waitress who's raising her child alone. She's not rich, but she'll always make do, with Christmas presents for all, even if she had to work overtime. When Chief Duncan found Lynn, he recognized the ribbon, then tried to leave her a $50 tip. She tried to return it and sneakily left it under his coffee cup. He'll follow her home as snow is coming down, and rescued her when her car spun out into a ditch. It's a sign that they should be together... under the mistletoe and all that... right?
Awwwww, sweet enough to make your toothache... Not really, but you get the idea. :) If you need a bit of cheering up about the human spirit, this is probably the book.
Primary Plot: Can a poor waitress and single mom compete on generosity with the grouchy and grinchy sheriff this Christmas?
Tropes: Holiday law enforcement, waitress, single parent, forced proximity, small town
Overall Rating: 4/5
