Caring for her grandmother was a labor of love, but busy executive Christine Powers worried about the paper piling up in her office. And no sooner had she arrived on Mackinac Island during the frantic holiday season than her haughty attitude was challenged by Will Lambert, her grandmother's enigmatic boarder. His laid-back style grew on her, as did his steadfast faith in this season of joy and wonder. But an ultimatum to return to work or lose her job forced Christine to decide between her heart and her career.

Enchanting Christmas Romance,
This review is from: With Christmas in His Heart (Michigan Island, Book 2 / Love Inspired, No. 373) (Mass Market Paperback)
Christine Powers has worked hard to climb the corporate ladder until her Grandmother Summers had a stroke, her parents left on a cruise, and Christine was elected to be a reluctant caregiver. There are others who want her job and she's stranded on Mackinac Island for who knows how long and she's not happy. She's not thrilled about her grandmother's border either. He's far too much at home in Grandmother's house to suit Christine. She doesn't want to be there, and she doesn't want Will Lambert underfoot all the time, either.
Will has been bording with Grandma Summers. He loves the elderly woman and has been trying to take care of her. He doesn't understand why Christine is so hostile to him, but he's not about to move out. Set on a remote island with a simple way of living and good neighbors, where there's time to walk slow, visit, and spend time for God, this is another heartwarming love story from this talented writer.

This review is from: With Christmas in His Heart (Michigan Island, Book 2 / Love Inspired, No. 373) (Mass Market Paperback)
The author Gail has a unique talent to keep the reader engaged into the Characters and their up and downs. The book is easy to read with a lovely ending. I have several books written by Gail, and they are worth their money and time. I am recommending this and other books by Gail Gaymer Martin.

Proverbs 16:9 - In his heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.,
By Donna K. "bookcrosser" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Christmas in His Heart (Michigan Island, Book 2) (Larger Print Love Inspired #373) (Mass Market Paperback)
The above proverb is wonderfully illustrated in this story, and it's a lesson we all need to be reminded of, and one that I especially needed to reflect upon at this particular stage in my life. There's a lot about the female protagonist that I related to: how she thrived on her fast paced city lifestyle, yet desperately needed a simpler and more spiritual daily way of life. My dreams invision a casual summery enviroment, so it's to the author's credit that she described winter/Christmas in the frozen isolated Mackinac Island in such a beautiful and appealing way to even my tropical mindset. I loved the age-related dilemma that the couple faced, as well as the difficulties with his parent's unreasonable expectations and they way the couple handled them. All-in-all, I found this to be a very inspiring and introspective story.
