The Perfect Christmas  by Debbie Macomber

Synopsis:

What would make your Christmas perfect?

For Cassie Beaumont, it’s meeting her perfect match. Cassie, at thirty-three, wants a husband and kids, and so far, nothing’s worked. Not blind dates, not the internet and certainly not leaving love to chance.

What other options are there? Well…she could hire a professional matchmaker. Simon Dodson has quite a reputation, but he’s very choosy about the clients he takes on—and very expensive. Cassie considers him a difficult, acerbic know-it-all, and she’s astonished when he accepts her as a client.

Claiming he has her perfect mate in mind, Simon assigns her three tasks to complete before she meets this paragon. Three tasks that are all about Christmas: being a charity bell-ringer, dressing up as Santa’s elf at a mall and preparing a traditional turkey dinner for her neighbors (most of whom she happens to dislike). Despite a number of comical mishaps, Cassie does it all—and then she’s finally ready to meet her match.

But just like the perfect Christmas gift, he turns out to be a wonderful surprise!

My teaser comes from the 2nd story in this book, Can This Be Christmas?

page 280

Nick stared at the man in disbelief.  This had to be the worst Christmas of his entire life!  Trapped with a cranky newborn and a wife who refused to see reason. If it’d be up to him, the three of them would at least have been in a motel room, comfortable and warm.  But Kelly hadn’t wanted to leave the station, certain the repairs wouldn’t take long.  Now it was too late.  The guy with the long hair and his wife had already made inquiries. Apparently every hotel for miles around was full.

What is your teaser this week?
