Susan Meier

My Opinion: An interesting story but it didn’t grab me. Both Jeb and Sophie have baggage that need to be solved before they can have a successful relationship with anyone. They both have to deal with the way they were raised plus some other issues.

Series: In Her Shoes

I enjoyed the story. It was well written and quite story. It embodies what the Christmas spirit brings into our lives.

This is such a ‘feel good’ story. Meier deftly kept a subject that could turn to maudlin or a real downer uplifting. This is a sweet without being saccharine story.

Wendy Winston is a woman with too much to do and she is landed with a new boss, albeit temporary, and a foster son. Cullen Barrington has left his comfort zone and landed in the family zone. How will he cope?

Sophie Penazzi and her six month old son, Brady, have taken a housekeeping job for Jeb Worthington. He wants to get rid of her because she has child, something she won't let him do. As she comes to know Jeb a little better, she finds herself wanting to be more than his housekeeper, but his walls are too high to overcome, or are they?

You might wonder how a book could appear to be silly and sparky at the same time, but Susan Meier did it. I laughed out loud at Jeb’s reaction to Brady, and at the way Sophie stood up to him. I and loved the way the sparks flew between Jeb and Sophie at every opportunity.

Hmmmm, interesting, not great, but interesting. Poor Jeb has some very serious children issues and he so does not deserve them. Sophie is a very interesting character who really only wants to take care of her son no matter what. I was glad to see how they could make it work together. I really liked Slim lots too and Macayla is another interesting character thrown in to the mix.

Single mom accepts a live-in housekeeping position; however, when she shows up at his door he realizes that she comes with a baby in tow. He doesn't want her to stay...he gives her three weeks, yet when his foreman has to leave on emergency she is allowed to stay longer.
