It will take a Christmas miracle for two very different souls to find each other in this perfectly festive fairy tale of New York!


Hopeless romantic Eva Jordan loves everything about Christmas. She might be spending the holidays alone this year, but when she's given an opportunity to house-sit a spectacular penthouse on Fifth Avenue, she leaps at the chance. What better place to celebrate than in snow-kissed Manhattan? What she didn't expect was to find the penthouse still occupied by its gorgeous—and mysterious—owner.


Bestselling crime writer Lucas Blade is having the nightmare before Christmas. With a deadline and the anniversary of his wife's death looming, he's isolated himself in his penthouse with only his grief for company. He wants no interruptions, no decorations and he certainly doesn't appreciate being distracted by his beautiful, bubbly new housekeeper. But when the blizzard of the century leaves Eva snowbound in his apartment, Lucas starts to open up to the magic she brings…This Christmas, is Lucas finally ready to trust that happily-ever-afters do exist?

My Thoughts
Sweet, sexy and fun! Sarah Morgan delivers the perfect holiday romance that had me charmed by the characters and their story. Miracle on 5th Avenue is a great Christmas story to enjoy during the cold winter months!

Eva Jordan believes in the magic of Christmas and love. So when she’s hired by Lucas Blade’s grandmother to decorate his home for the holidays, she’s put to the test by the elusive crime-writing author who lives on 5th Avenue.

Lucas has been struggling with his latest novel. With a deadline looming over his head and the pain of the anniversary of his wife’s death, the last thing he needs is a chatty, spirited woman intruding in his home. However, when a snowstorm forces Lucas to offer Eva a place to stay, he’s shocked to realize how her presence helps him make significant progress on his story.

Eva, however, has love and romance in her sights, but with Lucas guarded heart, it’s highly unlikely he’ll fall for her charm.

I really enjoyed the banter between these two characters. I knew from the beginning they would be perfect for each other. Despite Lucas’s hard edges, he did have moments of tenderness that was heart-warming and sincere. Eva was a nice complement to Lucas. I enjoyed her unabashedly honest nature and sensitive ways. When the chill between these two finally melted, it was nice to see them come together and fall in love.

Miracle on 5th Avenue is my first encounter with Sarah Morgan, who I’ve been meaning to try for quite some time. Having enjoyed this holiday novel, I’ll definitely be checking out other stories by Morgan. She has a light, fun way about writing her characters and presenting her story. I enjoyed it quite a bit!
