Fresh Fiction Review

I'll Be Home For Christmas
Lori Wilde

Holiday | Romance Contemporary

Gabi Preston has always been a people pleaser, slowly losing herself beneath her parents expectations. Born so that she could save the life of her older brother, Derrick, Gabi has never forgiven herself for failing, and has tried to fill the void that has been left with his death by being quiet and perfect. But enough is enough. Dropping out of law school and swapping homes with a stranger at Christmas is completely out of character for Gabi, but that is exactly what she wants. And the picture perfect town of Twilight, Texas is just what she needs to figure out where her life is going. Change is what she is looking for. What Gabi doesn't expect is a yurt for her accommodation, next door to a completely unsuitable but extremely sexy farmer who melts her heart with a glance.

Joe Cheek has always found it hard to stay in one place for long and he expects this Christmas to be no different. Having returned to help with the farm until his Gramps is feeling better, he doesn't want any complications like the beautiful stranger sleeping in his sister's home. Believing that relationships are not for him, having gone through so much in the past, Joe knows that he should stay away from Gabi. But as their connection deepens and passion flares to life, Joe and Gabi cannot resist each other, even if it cannot last. With the holidays almost over, an ex-wife back in town, and plenty of doubt on both parts, will Gabi and Joe give up on each other before they truly begin?

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS by Lori Wilde is a magical Christmas tale that had me smiling and tearful, and definitely melted my heart. Gabi has really suffered because when she lost her brother, she also lost her parents who became obsessed with their work and ignored her most of her life. Watching her find her confidence and realise what she wants from her life was truly enjoyable. Joe is an amazing character full of cheeky charm, with strong ethics and complete love for his family. Lori Wilde weaves an enchanting tale in I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, through the beautiful town of Twilight, and I completely fell in love with the residents. I highly recommend it.

SUMMARY

Christmas in Twilight, Texas, is all merriment and mistletoe. The Cookie Club is whipping up their most festive sweets, the townspeople are scrambling to get their holiday shopping done, and Joe—a hometown guy with a restless heart—is dreaming about the woman he wants to kiss most . . . • . . And who happens to be staying at his sister's place over the holidays, while Joe's sister is away. But Joe isn't quite sure he wants to be a living Christmas present to runaway law student Gabi Preston. Joe thinks the sassy sweetheart he nicknames "Trouble" won't inconvenience anything but his healthy sex drive. But when he discovers the reasons Gabi escaped from her life, he aches to give her everything she's never had. As the magic of the season draws them together, the gift of love is the only one worth giving…
