Great holiday read that can be read during the holidays or whenever you need a feel good moment!
The timeline was very rushed. They slept together rather quickly. I honestly don’t think it will work because the power balance is so far off. He’s changing for her but she isn’t for him. She’s not perfect. She’s impulsive and harsh.
Driving Home for Christmas is a wonderfully joyous holiday story with an undercurrent of grinchy behavior! Collin Murphy is a billionaire entrepreneur flying to a meeting in Minneapolis where he will be giving a presentation about an expansion he wants for his company. He is the host of an important charity event, right after the business meeting, that he can’t miss. Abby Thompson is on the same flight, trying to get home to her parents’ home in Burnesville, MN. She has just lost everything. Her job, her boyfriend and her best friend who was cheating with Abby’s boyfriend! She is completely miserable and just wants to get home to celebrate Christmas with her mom and dad. When their plane runs into weather and grounds them in Wichita, KS, they are about to continue their journey together, much to Colin’s chagrin. He rented the last of the cars and Abby is left out in the cold until she pleads with him through her eyes to please help her out. He shakes his head, knowing he’s trapped, and they’re on their way. Along the road, Abby is the picture of the season, singing her favorite Christmas cards and laughing at memories of Christmases past. Colin starts out stoic, and becomes even more irritated as he drives. Where those negative feelings are coming from, Abby doesn’t know and she just can’t understand how he could not at least like Christmas. The answers are waiting to be shared, but he’s not ready, yet. He refers to his family as the reason he doesn’t celebrate at all. They start to open up to each other, but real communication is what they’re missing. Their night together in a ratty motel was an enlightening experience for both but their problems with communicating still kept them from seeing eye to eye on anything. Colin heard everything Abby shared about the beauty of the Christman season, but he didn’t take it to heart. Or did he! My heart was full when Colin discovered his truth and knew how the rest of the stay in Minneapolis was going to go. Abby’s mother is a perfect example of the mom with the biggest heart who will do anything to help the man who adores her daughter. I would love to see an epilogue or sequel because they have so much more to their story.
The narration was beautifully done by Brian Martin and Melina Schein. Their dynamic voices depicted each character in a way that reflected their feelings and personality, adding to the enjoyment of the story.
I really enjoyed reading about Abby and Colin. I’m used to reading about Scrooge’s in holiday books, but Abby’s positive nature against his negative one made it a great read.
Again another book that doesn’t end until you read the next one. Not worth my time.
I love all Lexy Timms books! Never disappoints!
Wasn’t interesting to me.
An entertaining, steamy but quick read.
A great holiday story of goodwill and “no good deed goes unpunished”. The main characters are not hitting it off, it is a wonderful they don’t injure each other as a result of their frustration.
The outcome of their adventure is all worth it!
Fun easy read.
This book started out great, but turned towards porn in my opinion. Too graphic, and vocabulary I don’t consider “romance” Disappointed, as I thought this could have been a good one.
Enjoyable story about a CEO who doesn’t celebrate during the holidays and Abby who begs a ride home after their flight is stranded due to a snow storm. She is all about Christmas music, etc. and finally wins him over.
the book left you hanging until the next book. meh
Such fun! I loved it! It does my heart good when a Grinch turns around, and love and happy endings are my cup of tea!
Characters rather tiresome.
A relaxing afternoon read with an entertaining storyline.
Good story but ends with a bit of a cliffhanger
Fun banter between two strangers who eventually confide their stories make for a great read.
It was OK. I thought the girl was unrealistic. The whole story was unrealistic, but there were romantic parts too.
I just couldn’t finish it.
