Would you share a bed with your enemy to save Christmas?

Down with a bad case of writer's block, Riven has escaped to a mountain cabin for a prolonged writing retreat. The last thing he needs this Christmas is for his family to invade his sanctuary away from LA. What he needs even less is for a family of strangers as large and boisterous as his own to also be stuck in the same house after a double-booking disaster.

Especially when he ends up having to share a bunk bed with Wendy—a gorgeous, feisty New Yorker who quickly learns how to get under his skin.

Sharing a room with her is sweet torture and Riven isn’t even sure what he dreads more: that every passing day brings them closer to saying goodbye or that they have yet another night to spend together...

Home for Christmas is a full standalone novel perfect for fans of One Night on the Island by Josie Silver.

I am loving Camilla Isley's Christmas novels and this was another wonderful one.  However it is not the most Christmassy of books, although the fast half the season does feature heavily as there is far more to the book than the festive season. 

So it can easily be read at any time of the year which is always a bonus when it comes to a good book. 

I was hooked and thoroughly engaged in this story from the first chapters and especially once Wendy and Riven meet, and realise the cabin has been double booked. 

This is two massive families converging on one 4 bedroom cabin for a week over Christmas, with interesting rooming arrangements and circumstances. Thankfully they do seem to get along, although whether Wendy or Riven are that happy with the situation is another matter. 

I think enemies to lovers isn't necessarily the best description of this as I've never have called them enemies, but I did love the various banter and practical jokes between the pair of them. 

And their competitiveness when it comes to skiing is great to watch too, although it may also land one of them in a great deal of trouble! 

Told in alternating viewpoints of Riven and Wendy, we really get to know each of them quite well and I loved them both equally. 

I just thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book, and it 's another winner from Camilla Isley. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
