Take me home For Christmas By Brenda Novak

Take Me Home For Christmas  ★★★★ 

  Sofia DeBussi has been in love with Ted Dixon all of her life, but when they were young and he left for college she made a mistake. She got pregnant with another man’s child and married him. Skip DeBussi was all about appearances and he was all too happy to have the beautiful Sofia as his trophy wife. She’s miserable in her marriage but is too afraid of what might happen if she were to leave him.

Ted Dixon is an accomplished author doing very well for himself. He loves Sofia to this day but she broke his heart when she cheated and left him for another man. When Sofia finds herself is a bit of trouble, will Ted be able to put aside his resentment to reach out and lend a hand or will he turn his back on her like everyone else? 

I just don’t know what to say, this book it NOT at all what I expected. I thought I would be reading your average boy and girl are madly in love, have hot sex, stumble upon a bump in the road and let’s see how the make it through. Take Me Home for Christmas is NOT that at all!! This book was a wonderful read. I grew to care about the characters and feel for them as they navigated their troubles. Sofia’s strength and sense of self is tested throughout this book, but even though she doesn’t think so, she is a strong woman how fights to overcome the situation. Ted is amazing; we should all have a Ted Dixon in our lives. However I do wish the author had let the reader in on the circumstances surrounding Sofia’s betrayal. It is hinted at in the book, but the two never discuss fully why she made the decision to cheat. Another boyfriend that something significant happened with was mentioned but not fully developed.  I am hoping that there will be another book with this cast of characters in it, even the support character were interesting and I want to know more about them as well as wanting to know where life will lead Sofia and Ted. I give this book 4.5 stars.
