ARC Review: Take Me Home for Christmas by Miranda Liasson
One day I, Mia D’Angelo, third-year pediatric resident, was telling my mom that I’d finally met the perfect guy. Gushing about how amazing he was. And how happy I was.
It was all true. Until my "perfect guy" turned out to be my co-worker and my only competitor for a spot in the best practice in town…and then suddenly I was dumped…again. But I kept going with the stories, to get her through a very tough time.
My mom’s health crisis ended, and just when I thought things had settled down, my family wanted to meet my wonderful boyfriend for Christmas.
So I asked (okay, begged) just about every male I knew under forty, except for Dr. Braxton Hughes.
Don’t get me wrong. I could always count on him in a pinch. At work, that is.
Brax is an amazing pediatrician, but he would never fit the bill as a boyfriend. Maybe in looks. And charm. And his big heart. The problem is that he’s the biggest commitment-phobe this side of the Mississippi.
He’s the kind of guy I would definitely never take home for Christmas. There’d be no kissin’ under the mistletoe, no canoodling under the tree—because my heart could not survive falling for him again.
My car is packed and I’m down to no one, when magically, there he is, duffle in hand, melt-me smile on his face.
Oh, joy.
Keeping it professional is going to be a whole lot harder than I thought. Especially when he charms my parents, my whole family, and even my dog.
And Dr. Wrong…well, he’s suddenly looking awfully right.
If you follow my reviews, then you know how much I love Christmas themed stories. Heck, all holiday stories are ones that I love to read. Just looking at the adorable cover got me in the mood.
This is a sweet, fun holiday story that I think you'll really enjoy. The characters are very likable and draw you in. You've got to love a fake dating romance. With this one there is a bit of a twist. At one time they did date but with them working together it was better off that they are friends. We all know how that works when you are really into someone.
As much as these two want each other they have different ideas on what their futures look like. Something we can all understand. You'll enjoy reading on how they work out their differences and watch them fall in love.
This is a sweet romance that you'll really enjoy. I will mention that for me the fact that the author wrote it in first person dimmed it for me. Not a fan of first person so those who also don't like that should know that. Everyone else, put this on your list of holiday reads.
Dr. Wrong...haha I love that. This sounds great.
