Two sweet, romantic, humorous stories for the holidays. Perfect for curling up in a big, comfy chair with hot chocolate on a Saturday afternoon. I really enjoyed this book a lot!

Two stories in 1. The first is about Caitlin trying to get home for christmas, she ends up giving her plane ticket to a stranded soldier. So she is stuck spending the holidays with a childhood friend she hasnt seen in years. The second story is about a Single mom named Emily who trades homes for the holidays so she can spend christmas with her daughter who is away at college. Well the daughter had plans of her own. Well they both get visitors that did not know about the house swap. Its sweet, romantic and funny. One of Macomber's better books. ( all her books are great though)

Two fun Holiday stories. In the first Caitlin MArshall thinks she is in love with her boss. She finds a guy doing the remodeling at her office is a childhood friend that she once "married" as a kid. He annouces it to the entire office. Dying of embarrasement, things only get worse as he wears her down and makes her face what she refuses to see.

The second story is a fun story where a mixup of house swapping for the holidays creates romance for several great people.

This is a wonderful book! Home for the Holidays includes two stories. The Forgetful Bride: Caitlin Marshall's trying to go home to Minnesota but at last minute she gives her ticket to a stranded soldier. So Cait spends Christmas with Joe Rockwell who was her childhood friend, and is still a terrible tease, claiming that Cate is his wife. Oh sure they were married in a pretend ceremony when they were eight but Joe wants to make their "marriage" real!

When Christmas Comes
Emily Springer trades her Home for Charles Brewsters Boston Condo, Then Emily's friend Faith comes to visit her in washington and instead finds Charles a complete stranger all the mix ups and misunderstandings amoung the chaos and confusion romance begins to emerge.....

Awesome read! Even in the summer!
