Christmas on Conrad Street (Misty Harbor, 2) [Paperback]

Marcia Evanick (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Giving up on Baltimore and love after she catches her boyfriend with another woman, Dr. Sydney Fletcher heads for the Maine village of Misty Harbor to set up a new practice. But when hunky fisherman Erik Olsen's grandfather, Hans, begins showing signs of Alzheimer's, Sydney reluctantly agrees to pose as Erik's girlfriend so that she can observe Hans's behavior more easily. At the same time, Erik's twin brother, Gunnar, is attracted to single mother Maggie Pierce, another woman who has lost her trust in men and her faith in herself. Both romances evolve charmingly, resolving themselves just in time for Christmas, much to the delight of the couples' respective families. Dual love stories are not always easy to pull off, but Evanick does a credible job of interweaving the tales without confusing the reader. Evanick (Catch of the Day) has written a number of light, humorous romances and lives in Reinholds, PA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Sequel, August 6, 2003

By 

Christi (Fairfield, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas on Conrad Street (Misty Harbor, 2) (Paperback)

This book is the follow up to Evanick's book, Catch of the Day. It's just as good, of not better than the first book. After reading this one, you won't be able to wait for her next book to hit the shelves.
The characters were believable and very likeable. I found myself really rooting for Sydney. Richard is such a louse!
I read this book during the summer, but I'll be pulling it out again to curl up wtih on a cold winter night!

5.0 out of 5 stars very fun!, October 8, 2002

This review is from: Christmas on Conrad Street (Misty Harbor, 2) (Paperback)

I had so much fun reading this book. All the characters are so endearing (except Richard.) Evanick writes with a simple, honest wit that I found so refreshing, I kept laughting out loud! I am a sucker for a great romance with a happy ending, this book surprised me with more than one. I didn't realize this is the second book she has written with some of the same characters, I am on my way to buy "Catch of the Day"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable romance, November 30, 2005

This review is from: Christmas on Conrad Street (Misty Harbor, 2) (Paperback)

This is the first of the Misty Harbor books that I read. Since then I have read a few more. They all stand alone fine, but it's fun to see the characters of one book show up as backdrop in another.

It's a fun, Christmassy read. Evanick is good at creating likeable characters with chemistry between them. The storyline is not hokey and contrived, like a lot of romances. It isn't great literature or anything, but it's good for a person who just likes to read a love story.
