    About this ebook



    Joe Lawson has a thing for his new neighbor Hannah Napier. As a single dad, he shouldn't be thinking what he is about her. Still, that doesn't stop them from getting close. And the way she connects with his kids, it's as if they're a family.

    Turns out it's too good to be true. Seems Hannah has plans that don't include staying in Melbourne. Joe won't stand between her and her dreams, even though letting her go is nearly impossible. The holidays are looking grim, with him and his kids missing Hannah like crazy. But it is the season of surprises, and Hannah may have one for them!

      I really liked this story. It seemed so real life dealing with his kids, decision to follow your dream and the surprise near the end all encompassed in budding romance. By the end I was totally convinced theirs was a lasting relationship. Joe is attracted to his new neighbor Hannah despite their rocky beginning.

      I really like Mayberry's writing. She's great at blending real-life issues with great romance. I love how she brings her characters to the brink of disaster (in terms of their actions), but always pulls them back before they cross the line. Both characters are damaged, both have baggage and both are wary about moving into a relationship. But that doesn't stop them from going forward.

      I wanted to be annoyed with the heroine over her desire to protect the hero, but I understood her reasons too well. Likewise with the hero. Overall an excellent novel, one I would recommend.

      3.5 stars.Home for the Holidays by Sarah Mayberry - B-. I usually enjoy Ms. Mayberry's books and this one was no exception. Hannah is a mechanic who was dumped by her fiance nearly at the altar for her sister (what!) and is living with her mother when Joe Lawson, widower, and his two children (Ben 13, and Ruby, 10) move next door. You'd think that would be enough wouldn't you? But no! Once they get over all those hurdles, the author hurtles another disaster upon them - one I totally was not expecting, but once there, one I would have liked a LOT more detail about. I thought that Hannah's lifelong dream of travelling around Australia on her motorcycle was brushed away fairly easily and I'm not sure I could have been anywhere near so forgiving of the man-stealing-cow sister and the asshat sleezebag former-fiance (but that's just me :D!)

      Two more of Macomber's holiday novellas. "When Christmas Comes" has a similar plot to the movie "The Holiday" -- house exchanges spark romances. It's set partly in a small town in Washington and partly in Cambridge. "The Forgetful Bride" is a "meeting old flame after some years have gone by" story. Both quite enjoyable.

      Two nice Christmas romances.
