Reviewed by Kimfor Read Your Writes Book ReviewsI have to admit, initially when I started reading this book, I got a little confused. This novella doesn’t pick up where the last book/novella left off. It goes back to the first book in the series, Because of You and runs parallel with that book. I’ll Be Home for Christmas gives you a look into the deployment of Vic Carponti and his team from Fort Hood in early 2007 through the eyes of Vic and his wife Nicole.I love this book for the true romance of it. And what I mean by that, is that you can truly feel the love that the Carpontis have for one another oozing from the pages. There is nothing more romantic than pure love.I’ll Be Home for Christmas is the story of a married couple dealing with the separation of deployment and the fallout of what happens when an explosion rocks their world. Vic is a man who obviously learned to live his life by making a joke out of everything. His comic relief is what people need in order to get through tough situations and when he gets injured and has to live with his new reality, his sense of humor is what he relies on to get him and his wife that he loves more than anything through it all.This book will give you laugh out loud moments, tender moments, and moments when you will forget to breathe. But most importantly of all, I’ll Be Home for Christmas will teach you that true love can conquer all and home is really and truly where the heart is. It's simply a feel good story.Source: NetGalley
