Coming Home For Christmas (Haven Point, Book 10)

I loved this story, it was like a warm Christmassy hug in a book! One of those books that caught my attention straight away and I couldn't put down. Years ago Luke and Elizabeth married and had two children, but Elizabeth fell into a deep depression after losing both her parents to a freak accident, being pregnant with her daughter at the time, then had her son very shortly after, and had to cope with severe postpartum depression with both children. She tried to drag herself out of it, but one day just disappeared from Luke and her childrens lives with no explanation. Some people thought Luke had killed his wife, and a new District Attorney decides she is going to prosecute him for murder, so with the help from an FBI friend he eventually finds out that Elizabeth is actually alive and living under another name. He is torn about what to do, but needs her to clear his name and save him going to jail, so goes to her new home and confronts her, brings her back to Haven Point and clears his name. There are just so many emotions flowing through this book. Obviously there are reasons why Elizabeth stayed away for seven years, very tragic ones, which once revealed change peoples perceptions of the situation. Of course her children don't understand, especially her now 10 year old daughter who initially wants nothing to do with her 'missing' Mother. Luke slowly starts warming towards his wife again and the Christmas magic starts to work on everyone. A really lovely book, one with a Christmas title that does actually have a real festive feel to it too, which I've found isn't always the case with so-called Christmas books! Very, very enjoyable story that leaves you with a really warm Christmas feeling. Just perfect!
