The Perfect Christmas

By Debbie Macomber

Book Overview

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's left? A professional matchmaker. He's Simon Dodson, and he's very choosy about the clients he takes on. Cassie finds Simon a di fb03] cult, 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 him. Three tasks that are all about Christmas: being a charity bell ringer, dressing up as Santa's elf at a children's party and preparing a traditional turkey dinner for her neighbors (whom she happens to dislike). Despite a number of comical mishaps, Cassie does it all--and she's finally ready to meet her match.

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

Customer Reviews

Nothings perfect. . . but

Nothing is perfect, but this book is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. A quick read, the ending is completely predictable, but I still loved this book. Sweet, funny, touching and delightful.

Unexpected Perfection

I love Debbie Macomber's books, especially at Christmas. And this one is no different. The main character wants to have a perfect Christmas and everything seems set against that happening. She finally learns that there's more than tradition for a perfect Christmas.

Another fun Christmas gift from Debbie

A light fast read that will put you in the spirit of the season. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

A Very Charming Christmas Treat!!!!

The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber This season's offering from the Queen of Christmas cheer hands up a knockout punch, not just in story, but with the absolutely wonderful front and back cover. A cover, especially with a Christmas novel, is what captivates me into reading a book, and then the author has to really sell her story to capture me totally and this one did in spades. Cassie Beaumont, a very successful chemist, is looking for a husband for Christmas, but he needs to be perfect. Her best friend Angie, who suggests she go see this matchmaker, Simon Dodson, who is demanding, stodgy, know-it-all, who says he has the perfect match for her. He gives her three tasks to do during the Christmas season, the first giving her the assignment of being a Bell Ringer at a mall. What she learns there surprises her. Her second task is to be an elf helping Santa at another mall and the comedic results prove to be startling, if not embarrasing. Her third and final task are to fix the perfect Christmas dinner with all the trimmings singlehandedly. She has to invite her neighbors, who she dislikes and the end results surprise her.
