'Plenty of laugh out loud moments… Perfect for those looking for festive escapism' Candis
Please don’t come home for Christmas…
Julie Parker’s children are her greatest gift. Still, she’s not exactly heartbroken when they ask to skip a big Christmas. Her son, Nick, is taking a belated honeymoon with his wife, while Julie’s daughter, Dana, is recovering from another breakup. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man she’s secretly dating.
But her plans go from cosy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julie’s ex. She can’t refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realise she’s been hiding him for months.
As the invite list continues to grow in unexpected ways, will this Christmas prove that more really is merrier?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this feel-good contemporary from bestseller Mallery (For the Love of Summer), an extended family uses the Christmas holiday to plan hopeful futures. Julie Parker, 54, has enough confidence to single-handedly run the towing company founded by her father, but she's insecure about introducing her boyfriend, Heath, who's 12 years her junior, to her grown children. So she's glad the two of them will be spending Christmas alone. But then plans change: Julie's daughter Dana, son Nick, and Nick's wife, Blair, decide they want to join Julie at her mountain cabin. Blair can't abandon her mother and Uncle Paul over the holidays, so they're invited as well. When Heath's grade school children and his ex-wife need a place to go, warmhearted Julie insists they come to the cabin too. The last straw is when Dana's ex gets shot and arrives days before Christmas to recuperate. Julie can handle a crowd, but these difficult guests need a full-time mediator, especially when a family squabble lands her in the hospital. It's refreshing to read about a slightly older heroine, and her relationship with Heath is both hot and supportive. The happy endings all around tip things over into sappy territory, but Mallery does a great job capturing both the chaos and the joy of a family Christmas. Readers will be heartened.
