Synopsis
Please don’t come home for Christmas…
Julie Parker’s kids are her greatest gift. Still, she’s not exactly heartbroken when they ask to skip a big Christmas. Her son, Nick, is taking a belated honeymoon with his bride, Blair, while her daughter, Dana, will purge every reminder of the guy who dumped her. Again. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man she’s secretly dating.
But her plans go from cozy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julie’s ex. She can’t refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realize she’s been hiding him for months.
As the guest list grows in surprising ways, from Blair’s estranged mom to Heath’s precocious children, Julie’s secret is one of many to be unwrapped. Over this delightfully complicated and very funny Christmas, she’ll discover that more really is merrier, and that a big, happy family can become bigger and happier, if they let go of old hurts and open their hearts to love.

Heath ends up with his kids for Christmas, so they are coming as well. Then his ex wife's plans fall through so here comes Tiffany. Axel, Dana's on and off beau gets shot doing a job, so Huxley brings him!
For a lady that wanted a quiet holiday to end up with a dozen people, Julie seems to take it all in stride. This was a good book about family and what makes a family.
I really enjoyed it and thanks to Susan Mallery for the advanced copy.
