My Thoughts on... Take Me Home For Christmas by Brenda Novak

Take Me Home For Christmas (Whiskey Creek)

 


Book Description
November 1, 2013


Christmas is a time for remembering…

Too bad not all memories are pleasant! Everyone in Whiskey Creek remembers Sophia DeBussi as the town's Mean Girl. Especially Ted Dixon, whose love she once scorned.

But Sophia has paid the price for her youthful transgressions. The man she did marry was rich and powerful but abusive. So when he goes missing, she secretly hopes he'll never come back—until she learns that he died running from an FBI probe of his investment firm. Not only has he left Sophia penniless, he's left her to face all the townspeople he cheated.…

Sophia is reduced to looking for any kind of work to pay the bills and support her daughter. With no other options, she becomes housekeeper for none other than Ted, now a successful suspense writer. He can't bring himself to turn his back on her, not at Christmas, but he refuses to get emotionally involved. He learned his lesson the last time.

Or will the season of love and forgiveness give them both another chance at happiness?


Take Me Home For Christmas was a well written and emotionally engaging story. To me this shows signs of a good book, when I get involved emotionally. The characters are well developed and intriguing.
This book is number 5 in  the Whiskey Creek series, but can be read as a stand alone. This was the first book I've read by Brenda Novak, and enjoyed it immensely.

Sophia & Ted's story is one that shows the growth of both characters mentally and emotionally. Sophia I fell in love with for 2 reasons. First she was the underdog in the story, and second because she had the most to overcome in the book. I recommend this book for lovers of romance and suspense. I look forward reading more books from Brenda Novak.




I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
