Review: Miracle on 5th Avenue is book three in the From Manhattan With Love series by Sarah Morgan. It closely follows book two (Sunset in Central Park) but still happens before book one (New York, Actually), with I find a bit weird. Still, it can be read stand alone.

Book one is my favorite of the three I've read so far, but this one is a close second. Eva and Lucas are so perfect together, even if they seem polar opposites - and that's half the fun of this book. No to mention that Miracle on 5th Avenue has one of the sweetest happy endings I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

Not overly long but very well crafted, this is a perfect book for the upcoming holidays season - or for any other season. Recommended!

Happy Thursday,
