I love Debbie Macomber's Christmas novels. They are always so sweet. A Christmas Duet kept reminding me of a Karen Kingsbury novel I read many years ago. There was something about main character Hailey that reminded me of a character in that book. 

If you like your holiday romances to be low on drama, then this is the novel for you. That doesn't mean it is conflict-free. There is an ex-boyfriend that is determined to get back together with Hailey and he enlists the help of her mother who is over-the-top in her desire for a wedding and grandchildren. The reader has to wonder if they are going to mess up the budding romance between Hailey and Jay.

I loved the characters - except for Hailey's mother who is selfish and rude (even if she has the best of intentions). I have thought about taking a holiday trip alone to some mountain town so I kind of got to experience that while reading this book. Instead of creating music though I want to spend it reading books!

While the plot is predictable it checks all the boxes of a wonderful holiday story.
