A holiday homecoming

Could lead to a second chance…

After years away, Jenny Powell returns to her grandmother’s home, known as “Christmas House,” only to find her ex already there.

But with the past standing between them, could this holiday season bring the gift of a happily-ever-after for them all?

My Review

This is the perfect holiday season read, full of charm and holiday magic! There is something magnetizing about this story, to the point that I devoured it as quickly as a scrumptious Christmas cookie.

Finding Their Christmas Home is a sweet second chance romance featuring David and Jenny. Growing up together, David and Jenny went from friends to something more, but a painful breakup has had them out of one another’s lives for fifteen years. By chance, they are together again for the holiday season while each are struggling at a personal crossroads. David’s wife abandoned him and their twin daughters and all he wants is to give them the best Christmas ever while Jenny’s professional life is in limbo. Who would’ve thought that could be possible with his ex?

Jenny is a natural nurturer, doing a phenomenal job with these twin girls that she is meeting for the fist time. Jenny and Reba share the bond of dealing with an unfortunate illness, but she also extends grace to the defiant twin, Rowe who is taking her frustrations and aggressions out on everyone. Jenny is also great with her grandmother, who is starting to show medical issues of her own. It’s clear she wants to make everyone happy while also trying to work through her own issues.

David is a strong male lead that lets all the women in his life shine. He has a quiet strength, even as he’s personally struggling to keep it all together. It’s clear from the beginning that David and Jenny have a connection, and when they’re together they bring the best out in one another. I loved being able to witness them get this second chance and to see them go from two individuals that are struggling to all four of them becoming a family and thriving. It’s truly touching to see forgiveness, personal growth, and the importance of focusing on faith and family to heal being fleshed out.

I thought the characters for well developed, grounded, and true to life. I wish Christmas House really existed because it sounds like a magical place that I wouldn’t mind visiting! This novel has all the warm, fuzzy holiday feels and is the perfect holiday season read.
