Would you share a bed with your enemy to save Christmas?

Down with a bad case of writer’s block, Riven has escaped to a mountain cabin for a prolonged writing retreat. The last thing he needs this Christmas is for his family to invade his sanctuary away from LA. What he needs even less is for a family of strangers as large and boisterous as his own to also be stuck in the same house after a double-booking disaster.

Especially when he ends up having to share a bunk bed with Wendy—a gorgeous, feisty New Yorker who quickly learns how to get under his skin.

Sharing a room with her is sweet torture and Riven isn’t even sure what he dreads more: that every passing day brings them closer to saying goodbye or that they have yet another night to spend together…

Favorite Quotes:

 

He smells like a sunny mountain day: fresh snow, pinecones, cold air, and hot kisses. Wendy, get a grip, no one smells like hot kisses. But if someone could, Riven would be that person.

You resuscitated his Bangaloo. I thought it was dead forever… I’d lost all hope until you came along.

I haven’t felt this giddy… well, if I have to be honest, probably not since my parents gave me the Barbie magical mansion Dreamhouse for Christmas in the second grade.

My Review:

 

Home for Christmas was a deliciously fun holiday read that left me smiling and well-entertained. A double-booking mishap meshed two lively families comprised of small children, teens, and adults, to share a cottage in the Utah woods during the holidays. Pranks, shenanigans, and sparks began to fly within twenty-four hours. There was a plethora of characters involved yet the storylines were easy to follow and kept me happily engaged, amused, and fully invested in their tale. Camilla Isley is not someone to annoy as her characters’ pranking was next level.

 

Camilla is an engineer who left science behind to enter the whimsical realm of romantic fiction.

She writes contemporary rom-coms. Her characters have big hearts, might be a little stubborn at times, and love to banter with each other. Every story she pens has a guaranteed HEA that will make your heart beat faster. Unless you’re a vampire, of course.

Camilla is a cat lover, coffee addict, and shoe hoarder. Besides writing, she loves reading—duh!—cooking, watching bad TV, and going to the movies—popcorn, please. She’s a bit of a foodie, nothing too serious. A keen traveler, Camilla knows mosquitoes play a role in the ecosystem, and she doesn’t want to starve all those frog princes out there, but she could really live without them.
