Home for Christmas is your typical holiday romance with a few added extras.  You will get the sweetness surrounding the holiday, a second chance romance and a lesson on jumping to conclusions..  I honestly wasn't sure I was going to like our hero (James/Jimmy), he left town with the need to prove himself and is back with a fancy car and fancy job.  It's not until we learn of his learning disability and his need to hide it from his family that we start to understand him a bit more and why he feels he needs to prove himself.  Reuniting with his high school sweetheart and wife for 10 minutes, April, the past and present collide as they both are holding grudges and fears..  One thing I particularly loved about this story was April's son Marcus.  Marcus is autistic which is something you don't see tackled a lot in a romance novel.  The struggles that April goes thru on a daily basis trying to help her autistic son were done amazingly well.  Throwing Jimmy into the mix when he knows basically nothing about autism (to begin with) and makes some classic mistakes that make us parents of autistic kids cringe made the whole book seems so real to me.  I applaud that author for throwing some real world conflicts such as this into her wonderful romance.  While I have read the entire series, this was my favorite one due to this fact!Note : Home for Christmas is the middle book (2 of 3) in this series and while it does have some continuation (Baby Holly mystery & the Frost family in general), it works fine as a stand alone book as well.*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. *
