What's Christmas without a Debbie Macomber book to give you the warm fuzzies of a holiday romance? This year it's A Ferry Merry Christmas (#1,348). Ms. Macomber says she based her story on a rare occurrence: one of the Puget Sound ferries stranding on a sandbank.
Avery Bond is taking the Bremerton ferry to meet her brother in Seattle for the Christmas holiday, their first without their beloved Grams who raised them. To sweeten the pot, Reid has made them a reservation at her favorite seafood restaurant overlooking the Sound.
To the trio of Navy submariners aboard, something is sounding off about the ferry's engine, but frankly, Harrison is more interested in the cute brunette aboard. Avery wants nothing to do with him at first because she's been burned by a two-timing Navy man. Harrison persuades her to give him a chance for as long as it takes the ferry to reach Seattle.
In the meantime, her brother and his sister are awaiting the ferry's arrival at the Seattle terminal. Reid recognizes Kellie from a workshop she gave at Microsoft and they wind up spending the time together as well.
Yes, there's no mystery about what's going to happen here, but it's always entertaining to watch the romance (in this case, the romances!) unfold. Something warm to put you in the mood for the holidays!
