Duff and Hamilton High series book. Read Duff, so I knew who some of the characters were. But this book also connects with other characters in the Hamilton High series. Interesting seeing them but not sure how relevant they were to the plot.
The story was good and even has some tear-jerker moments. I liked the main set of characters. I thought it was all cute and nicely done with some realistic moments and much more realistic dysfunctional family stuff.

4 stars and read this in June 2012.
This is my favorite Mansell book. This book was a first author read for me. I now like Mansell's book so I'm trying out her other works.
This is Brit Lit. And it's got Mansell usual with 5+ character point of views. It is a little too much at times mostly because I wanted to know more about Cleo and Johnny. I loved their romance. A I was also wish that Johnny was more in the story. I still liked how well Jill is able to build these characters up so that they're likeable.
There is quite a bit of British humor that I really liked. I liked how Cleo (limo driver job) drove a has-been Australian soup star to all his locations while he was in town. The description of the little town of Channing Hill sounds like an ideal vacation place. I also liked the karma that befell on William Newman. I even disliked his name. A very posh Mamma's boy.
I've reread this book a few times now. Each time, the storyline is great and the characters are all likeable.

4★ overall for the two short stories
There's Something About Christmas 4★
A cute Macomber Christmas romance short story. Christmas in Seattle, Washington. The description of the weather is no where near to what my aunt describes (who lives in Omak - northern Washington). My aunt has been visiting us in California for the past 3 Christmases in order to escape the below zero weather. Our 60 degree F. weather during Christmas is like Washington's Springtime weather.
Here Comes Trouble 3.5★
For being a short story, this dragged on too much. It's cute and predictable with a holiday Christmas theme and dog theme (the two girls wants a puppy). With the epilogue showing Maryanne and Nolan's happy ending with two girls, the suspense of "will they get together wasn't there?" It was more like "when will they get together?" And Maryanne's parent's were a little ridiculous.
Glad Tidings as a set with these two stories fits well together. Their themes all match well. And they both have the Hero acting like the heroine's knight in shining armor. These are both cute reads.

A nice Macomber short romance story. It's predictable and yet a cute short piece to read in between other books or for a lazy read.

✔ My Hero (1992) by Debbie Macomber 5★♥
Parker is really really swoon worthy here. This is an old Macomber romance. Short and very sweet.
Love Parker/ Michael. He is a romance hero indeed.
