It’s Christmas Eve, and for the next three days, it will be full on Christmas celebration at least for me. And, because I am going to be very busy, I decided to write all of these reviews in advance with plans of publishing them during my three days of Christmas.
Ah, the power of technology. I really don’t have to be around when the article is being “pushed” by the computer to go out into the world.
Merry Christmas everyone and let us start our Christmas reading with “A Christmas Homecoming 
Set in the fictional town of Marietta, “A Christmas Homecoming” centers around two Marietta natives, Josiah Whittaker and Ellie Smith. A friend of Ellie’s older brother, Josiah left Marietta to go to college in California where he stayed and founded his own tech company at Silicon Valley.
Now a billionaire, Josiah has to take one month off for health reasons. He was expecting for it to be the worst month of his life but surprise! Surprise! He reconnected with Elie, the younger brother of his best friend in high school.
The attraction between them was palpable but both of them just cannot see beyond the end of December when Josiah goes back to Silicon Valley and Ellie, who is a true Montana girl just cannot see herself living outside her home state.
It’s a conundrum alright! The solution… well, let us just say that there is mistletoe involved.
Also, fans of Melissa McClone can catch up with the other residents of the Bar V5 Dude Ranch: Meg Redstone and Tyler Murphy (Mistletoe Wedding), Charlie Randall and Zack Harris (Kiss Me, Cowboy), Rachel Murphy and Nate Vaughn (Home for Christmas), Caitlin Butler and Noah Sullivan (Mistletoe Magic) who make cameo appearances in the book, or at least mentioned.
“A Christmas Homecoming
A kiss is just a kiss…
Unless it’s under the mistletoe.
Ellie Smith is determined to make up for Christmases past by spreading holiday cheer throughout the Bar V5 dude ranch, but tech “bah, humbug” billionaire, Josiah Whittaker, refuses to bask in the spirit of the season.
Unwilling to let the geek-to-gorgeous Josiah win, Ellie plans to give him a Christmas he’ll never forget. But after a simple kiss under the mistletoe, Ellie and Josiah both start questioning everything. Can Christmas really bring the gift neither one of them were expecting: true love?
