This review is from: Man with a Miracle : The Men of Maple Hill (Harlequin Superromance No. 1093) (Paperback)

Beazie Deadham arrives in Evan Braga's office cold, hungry, and with a baseball bat in her hand. On the run, Beazie has been instructed by her dying boss to take an audiotape to "Evans" who she thinks may be behind her boss' murder. She finds herself in Evan's office, then promptly passes out. The former cop takes the lovely redhead home with him and sets out to help her find Evans. When he learns the tape she carries is somehow linked to his brother, Evan's world tilts. He's falling in love with Beazie, but he came to Maple Hill to sort out the guilt he feels over his brother's death, and he doesn't want commitment. Beazie, on the other hand, has been lonely all her life and is looking for exactly the kind of commitment she finds with Evan and his friends in Maple Hill.

Ms. Jensen has created a warm, loving extended family in this final Maple Hills series. Evan is a worthy hero and Beazie is delightful, as are the rest of the town's residents who appeared in the first two books of the trilogy. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. It will warm your heart and fill you with Christmas cheer.
Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful holiday romance -- Highly recommended, November 22, 2002

This review is from: Man with a Miracle : The Men of Maple Hill (Harlequin Superromance No. 1093) (Paperback)

A woman wielding a baseball bat surprises Evan Braga when he enters his office. Exhausted and overwhelmed from the previous sixteen hours, Beazie Deadham collapses after accusing Evan of murdering her boss. Before Evan came to Maple Hill and joined Whitcomb's Wonders, he had been a cop, and Beazie's startling appearance raises old intuition and training. As her boss lay dying in Beazie's arms he had entrusted her with a tape, warned her against cops, and told her to take the tape to Evans in Maple Hill. Beazie does not know if Evan is actually the man she is seeking, and she refuses to reveal the entire story until she is certain.

Evan bears his own burdens, especially an overwhelming sense of responsibility for his brother's death. He resigned the force in Boston and came to Maple Hill for healing. Although his family rallied around him following the accident that took his brother's life and severely injured him, Evan's guilt keeps him from feeling comfortable with them. With murders pursuing Beazie, he refuses to turn Beazie out to seek answers alone. Instead, he persuades her to stay with him for a while, posing as an old girlfriend. Then they realize that Beazie had dated Evan's brother, and his brother was somehow connected to Beazie's tape.

Purple hair and Christmas spirit combine in the delightful holiday romance MAN WITH A MIRACLE. While the subplot of danger and intrigue adds a decided note of tension to the novel, it the developing relationship between Beazie and Evan that remains center stage. Bezie's resourcefulness and determination never flag as she struggles to reconcile the events of the past with an unexpected present that unfolds in Maple Hill. Evan's need for self-forgiveness becomes the perfect holiday story, enriched by the beauty of a small community that loves the joys of the holiday. Family complications, holiday cooking and favorite Maple Hill residents make their appearances, lending this holiday tale their individual flavors. A lovely holiday read, MAN WITH A MIRACLE comes highly recommended.
