Review: Take Me Home for Christmas by Miranda Liasson

Miranda Liasson brings the holiday charm with her holiday romance, Take Me Home for Christmas. As always, the gift of a feel good second chance romance mixed with some fake dating and the charm of the holidays.

In this heartwarming novel, we meet Mia D’Angelo, a pediatric resident who is intelligent, compassionate and while her heart is in the right place, has been living a lie. To give something positive for her ailing mother to focus on, she creates the perfect boyfriend. Only one problem. The D’Angelos love to get together for the holidays and her family wants to meet him. Let me introduce Dr. Braxton Hughes. The annoying but charming former crush who she thought was the perfect guy seemed to come to an end once they became coworkers going for the same job. 

With the upcoming visit with her fake boyfriend, her potential prospects fell through for the task. When Brax proposes himself as a fill-in, he is the last man she’d ever trust with her heart. He’s good looking, reliable and has a big heart. He’s just someone who has a commitment problem and definitely not someone she’d take home for Christmas. With no options left, she finds it harder to resist once his charm infects her family. Sometimes being at the right place and the right time will inspire the perfect second chance for Mr. Right. 

Take Me Home for Christmas is a slow burn romance with chemistry, swoon worthy and witty moments. Besides watching Brax melt Mia’s heart, another part of her story is her personal connection with her work inspired by her own life tragedy. Losing her sister and her dedication of her life to helping kids is a heartwarming addition to her part of her story. Brax’s hardship in life, gaining a found family brings a genuine joy as an added bonus to his life giving him a second chance. Just an overall feel good enjoying the influence of a great family and two people finding their way together warms you up for the holiday.

If you love a holiday romance with heart, second chances sprinkled in with a fake boyfriend then you’ll enjoy this one.
