Welcome to Christmas Through the Year, where on the 25th of each month I feature one of the books I read this past Christmas. This month's pick is A Christmas Homecoming by Melissa McClone.
Series: Bar V5 Ranch: Book 5
Publisher: Tule Publishing
Release Date: October 25, 2015
Genre: Clean Holiday Romance
A kiss is just a kiss…
Unless it’s under the mistletoe.
Ellie Smith is determined to make up for Christmases past by spreading holiday cheer throughout the Bar V5 dude ranch, but tech “bah, humbug” billionaire, Josiah Whittaker, refuses to bask in the spirit of the season.
Unwilling to let the geek-to-gorgeous Josiah win, Ellie plans to give him a Christmas he’ll never forget. But after a simple kiss under the mistletoe, Ellie and Josiah both start questioning everything. Can Christmas really bring the gift neither one of them were expecting: true love?
My Review ❤️
I have decided for 2021 to review one Christmas book on the 25th of every month. Who says Christmas reads have to be reserved for the holiday season alone? I actually read A Christmas Homecoming around Thanksgiving but was never able to get my review up for one reason or another, but I will say it was the perfect way to kick off my holiday season!
A Christmas Homecoming has a very Hallmark-esque feel to it, as in it is a little too good to be true and squeaky clean, but it's hard not to fall in love with the characters and the dreamy setting.
I did crave a little more drama and less of the sugary sweetness, but that's just a personal preference. There are some stories that are just a little too perfect, and this is one of them, and I tend to bend towards the more realistic, flawed stories myself, but if that is you're thing you are in going to love this book.
Though "practically perfect in every way" this was a deliciously quick read that captures your attention and your imagination, igniting the holiday spirit within your heart.
