Children’s bookstore owner Addie Mayberry believes in the magic of Christmas. Or at least, she used to. So when a young customer needs some seasonal optimism, Addie sets out to give the vulnerable, heartbroken little girl the best Christmas ever. Which means helping the hottest man in Shadow Creek, Bella’s surgeon father, find his holiday spirit. Addie’s up to the challenge, but between tree decorating and late night talks, she realizes she’s starting to fall hard for the one man she definitely shouldn’t.
Drew Barrett drastically changed his fast-paced life when he moved back to Shadow Creek, but it was all worth it to give his daughter a better life. He wasn’t exactly winning dad-of-the-year awards before, so he’s determined to make it up to Bella. And with Addie’s help, he’s slowly repairing his relationship with his daughter. The last thing he wants is to fall in love, since that road only leads to pain, but he can’t stop thinking about Addie. Not only is she gorgeous, sweet, and great with Bella, she fills something in him he never knew was missing. But Addie wants forever, which is more than Drew can offer…

My Rating: 4.5 stars
I happen to love coming back to the Shadow Creek, Montana series. A place where I always know I’m going to find an interesting, believable romance, and especially at Christmas time I know I”m going to find some special Christmas magic as well. A Christmas Miracle for the Doctor proved that impression to be correct once again.
Drew and his daughter, Bella have return to his hometown to live a quieter, more personally engaged life. Drew had been a top level surgeon, and his busy schedule had stolen many of Bella’s early years from them both. Now, after a divorce and a change in child custody, Drew has the chance to be a better father… and nothing, not even falling in love is going to change his top priority. Addie owns a bookstore where she’s been in contact with Bella. Once Addie loved everything about Christmas but let those feeling fade recently. Being around the lonely, sad little girl has prodded Addie to make this a good Christmas for Bella. Taking on the job of after school babysitter will also draw them even closer. No one, except maybe Bella and Santa, knew that this was a family in the making… if only the adults could get it right.
It was so easy to get caught up in the lives of Addie, Drew and Bella. Watching them discover their feelings, celebrate Christmas and forge into a family unit was an enjoyable, emotional journey. A Christmas Miracle for the Doctor is a good solid romance with interesting characters, the magic of Christmas and a small town that welcomes the reader right in. If you love a romance that shows two people that love is possible no matter what else is gong on, then I believe you’ll enjoy this newest addition to the Shadow Creek, Montana series. I loved it, and I’m already looking forward to a return visit soon.
