Book Description: The boldest, most unconventional of the three Greentree sisters, Marietta believes her best course would be to emulate her natural mother, the notorious courtesan Madame Aphrodite. Being woefully unschooled in the ways of passion, however, Marietta, at Aphrodite'sinsistence, must first prove herself by properly seducing one man: Max Valland, the moody, disgraced, and disinherited former Lord Roseby.

With his life and reputation already in tatters, Max is most willing to help the exquisite young minx practice her chosen craft -- though he is surprised at the depth of his desire…and by her most unprofessional tenderness. But Marietta's plans are threatened by the dangerous mysteries swirling around this disarmingly sensual gentleman…and by a heart that urges her to break the courtesan's cardinal rule: never fall in love.

Book Description

Proper, reserved Francesca detests chaotic London and one of its most infamous inhabitants: her birth mother, the notorious courtesan Madame Aphrodite. Lovingly raised by the devoted Lady Greentree, she's content to remain in Yorkshire, far from the scandalous parent whose life and profession shock . . . yet intrigue her. But a dark, dangerous stranger she rescues on the moors is awakening a most improper desire—causing Francesca to question whether she is more her mother's daughter than she ever wished to be.

When Sebastian Thorne agrees to protect Aphrodite's estranged daughter from a dire threat emerging from her past, the fallen lord is unexpectedly seduced by Francesca's beauty. But a vigilante living on the shadowy edge of society has little hope to own such a prize—and unless he reclaims his abandoned title and lost honor, Sebastian will never get close enough to the bewitching lady to save her life . . . or win her passion.

Words are windows to the Heart.
~ Mrs. Miracle

MRS. MIRACLE (Avon Books; On-Sale November 24, 2009; ISBN 978-006-108346-4; $7.99), hailed by Romantic Times as “warm, funny and uplifting,” is one of the most beloved of #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber’s “Angelic Intervention” series. Is it any wonder that the Hallmark Channel is making an original movie of this perennial fan-favorite romance, releasing just in time for the holiday season?

Book Description:
It isn’t difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill. Just add a little dirt. ~ Mrs. Miracle

Seth Webster's heart never healed after he lost his adored wife. Now, with Christmas approaching, wild twin boys to raise alone, a home in chaos, and the latest in a long line of exasperated housekeepers quitting in disgust, Seth needs more than help to keep his family together . . . he needs a miracle.

Love looks through a telescope, not a microscope.
~ Mrs. Miracle

And then a miracle arrives on his doorstep. Her name is Mrs. Merkle, but the kids call her "Mrs. Miracle"—and from the moment the warm, knowing, and very patient nanny appears, everything is different. Her sassy spirit is infectious, and it gives Seth the courage to approach Reba, a beautiful travel agent who's been hurt and betrayed, and is afraid to ever love again. Through the magic of faith—and with a little help from a children's Christmas pageant and a lot of encouragement from Mrs. Miracle—Seth and Reba might just be able to find a Christmas miracle of their very own: true love.

God gave the angels wings and humans chocolate.
~ Mrs. Miracle

Review of HALLMARK CHANNELS presentation of Debbie Macomber's "Mrs. Miracle with Emmy Award-Winning actress, Doris Roberts and actor James Van Der Beek.

I just finished watching Debbie Macomber’s “MRS. MIRACLE” on the HALLMARK CHANNEL and let me just tell you that I LOVED it. Okay, I have to admit that I have a massive girl crush on Emmy Award-Winning actress, Doris Roberts. Doris Roberts stole the movie. Okay, I can’t say she stole it from the moment she appeared on screen (but I’m sure she did) because I missed the first fifteen minutes. I know shame on me but I was able to enjoy the rest if this heart-warming tale of a woman that comes to be a live in nanny/ housekeeper/ miracle worker to a young widowed father of twins.

Mrs. Miracle is a modern day MARY POPPINS (with out the singing) who comes when she is needed. It kind of reminded me of the English movie “NANNY MCFEE” with Academy Award-winning Actress, Emma Thomson( most known for Sense and Sensibility) where she also comes to a home with a bunch of unruly children of a widowed father.

I have to tell you that I’m a sucker for movies with heart wrenching emotional twist with loving old ladies who come in and subtle change the life of their characters. My favorite is the fact that the characters in question can’t figure out how all this unexpected MIRACLES are happening; even though things seem to change when ever these magical special beings enter their lives.

If you missed tonight presentation please, please I encourage you to check out your local HALLMARK CHANNEL to find out what time the encore presentation of MRS. Miracle is showing. This is truly one Christmas special you don’t want to miss.



Okay, onto what I know you all are waiting for...the winners of MRS. MIRACLE.
