The magic of Christmas

Could make her wish come true!

A small-town Christmas wedding. What could be more romantic? Unless you’re a plus-one for hire like single mom Maia MacKenzie.

Editorial Reviews

"This is an awesome star-crossed lovers story. Maia and Brent have so much going against them. The main obstacle is the no fraternization clause for their jobs with Your Perfect Plus One. Neither one can afford to quit that part-time job. They both need the money. Then there’s Brent’s struggle with depression. I found it refreshing that Ms. McDavid addressed this issue. I think she did a good job handling the subject...This is a great Christmas read!" —Harlequin Junkie

"I was swept away by Maia & Brent’s story from the beginning. While they had a not so typical first encounter, fate seemed to continue crossing their paths and I was eager to see how their story would play out. Don’t you just love a good love story? I especially love it when the characters CANNOT be together for one reason or the other. It seems the more they are not supposed to be together, the more I want them to be together. This is exactly what I felt while reading A Secret Christmas Wish." —JoJo’s Corner


"Cathy McDavid brings readers back to Payson Arizona and the Wishing Well Springs wedding venue (along with a few others around town) with Christmas celebrations and a unique business…there’s plenty to love in this book—a cute toddler, a community filled with Christmas cheer and celebration, information about trail racing horses, and an honest look at depression and how it affects one of the main characters." —Remembrancy


"This is another series by Cathy McDavid that I have been enjoying. And I especially love the stories that take place around Christmas. This one is a bit different, though. It's not all light and airy like the holiday romances we are used to seeing. In my opinion, this one was a lot more realistic. Sure, our main characters develop a quick attraction to each other. They slowly build up a friendship that develops into stronger feelings. The way that Brent responds to Maia's toddler son is amazing (and vice versa). But there are greater issues going on here. Brent suffers from depression, and it has a tendency to rear its ugly head. …I loved watching them both grow throughout the story. And I commend Cathy McDavid for tackling this subject in her book." —Andi’s Book Reviews
