A Christmas Duet by Debbie Macomber
Genre: Contemporary Romance / Holiday Women’s Fiction
When high school band teacher Hailey Morgan escapes to a snowy cabin in Podunk, Oregon for a solo Christmas retreat, she never expects to find both inspiration and romance. With the help of charming ex-musician Jay Cantor, she rediscovers her passion for songwriting—and herself—amid cozy fires, holiday traditions, and family drama.
Warm, heartfelt, and full of small-town Christmas magic, A Christmas Duet is the perfect seasonal escape.
If you liked:The Christmas Spirit, A Mrs. Miracle Christmas, or The Mistletoe Inn, you’ll love this feel-good holiday romance hugged by snow and song.

A Cozy, Feel-Good Read with a Sweet Surprise
There wasn’t a lot of build-up or tension between Hailey and Jay, but honestly, I didn’t mind. From the very beginning, you learn about Hailey’s past relationship and her upcoming Christmas plans, and within the first 10 pages, it’s clear where the story is headed. Normally, that kind of predictability would be a drawback for me—but not this time.
There was a small twist I didn’t see coming (though in hindsight, maybe I should have), and that surprise gave the story just enough sparkle to keep things interesting. This book made me want to escape to a quiet cabin in the woods and find my own Jay.
If you’re looking for a quick, heartwarming read with Hallmark vibes and just a touch of magic, this one’s a great pick-me-up.
