Review of 'Catching Christmas' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It's a fuzzy Christmas story so it includes the tropes of that genre.

But it's cute and Miss Callie is hard not to like. I was surprised to see the infamous McDonald's coffee case used as an example of a frivolous lawsuit when in reality it was a case of a woman much like the beloved Miss Callie suffering 3rd degree burns to get groin due to a corporations disregard for public safety.
