Harriet Knight's sister, Fliss, has protected her throughout her life but Harriet is ready to step out on her own and face her fears. Little did she know it would involve climbing out of the ladies' bathroom window after a blind date goes wrong, forcing her to end up at the emergency room for an x-ray of her ankle. Meanwhile, Dr. Ethan Black is unexpectedly stuck dog sitting his sister's dog, Madi, and it's not going well. Harriet isn't used to dealing with the clients as she's always let Fliss handle the people side of things, sticking to walking the dogs. However, she can't turn Ethan down because of Madi. Can Harriet and Ethan find love despite their very different lifestyles and personalities?

I love watching Harriet coming out of her shell! I was initially a little worried about how I would react to Harriet's book. While I've loved the Bark Rangers ever since their introduction, Harriet has always been in the shadows behind her feisty sister. The previous book, HOLIDAY IN THE HAMPTONS, started to show Harriet emerging past her shy exterior and she fully blossoms in MOONLIGHT OVER MANHATTAN.

And Ethan... his gruff exterior upfront hides a heart of gold. His interactions with Susan and the rest of the trauma team showcase a different side to him, one that helps the reader overcome his lack of understanding of Madi's issues. I have to admit, however, that I am secretly hoping Susan gets her own book in the near future!

MOONLIGHT OVER MANHATTAN is the sixth book in the From Manhattan with Love series but easily stands on its own. I'm not sure why anyone would want to miss a single installment, however, as Sarah Morgan's stories and characters are pure magic! MOONLIGHT OVER MANHATTAN is yet another stunning example of Sarah Morgan's talent as she shows love in the most unexpected of circumstances.

Book Summary

She'll risk everything for her own Christmas miracle…

Determined to conquer a lifetime of shyness, Harriet Knight challenges herself to do one thing a day in December that scares her, including celebrating Christmas without her family. But when dog walker Harriet meets her newest client, exuberant spaniel Madi, she adds an extra challenge to her list—dealing with Madi's temporary dog sitter, gruff doctor Ethan Black, and their very unexpected chemistry.

Ethan thought he was used to chaos, until he met Madi—how can one tiny dog cause such mayhem? To Ethan, the solution is simple—he will pay Harriet to share his New York apartment and provide twenty-four-hour care. But there's nothing simple about how Harriet makes him feel.

Ethan's kisses make Harriet shine brighter than the stars over moonlit Manhattan. But when his dog-sitting duties are over and Harriet returns to her own home, will she dare to take the biggest challenge of all—letting Ethan know he has her heart for life, not just for Christmas?
