Can Connor show River a real family Christmas?

When Connor finds River on the roof of the campus admin building, he doesn’t know what to do. His friend is drunk and shouting into a snowstorm, a bottle of vodka in his hand. The easy part is getting River down; the hard part is insisting River comes home with Connor for Christmas.

River doesn’t have a family or any place outside of college that he calls home. Not that it matters to him; he’s happy being alone for Christmas in his budget motel, watching reruns of Elf. Only, Connor keeps telling wildly improbable stories of the perfect family celebrations at his parents’ ranch in Texas, and it’s wearing River down. He didn’t ask to be kidnapped. He didn’t want to fall in love with the entire Campbell-Hayes family. But he does.

From one Christmas to the next. This is Connor’s year to rescue River, and himself, for them both to mess things up, make things right, fall in lust, and finally, for Connor to show the man he loves what being part of a family can mean.

Home for Christmas is book nine in RJ Scott’s Texas series. I absolutely love this series and Jack and Riley and their families. I was excited to see a book with Connor as an adult because I knew I’d get more of Jack, Riley and their family.

I loved seeing Connor all grown up and seeing the influence of his dads on him. He has a big heart and just wants to make everyone happy. River was a complex character who really needed more than a novella to be truly explored and understood. His story felt rushed. I know this author enjoys the soap opera drama stories, but I wasn’t expecting it in this holiday novella. For those who love drama in their books, this one’s for you!

Sean Crisden is a fantastic narrator that brings this story to life! Even when I read this story, I hear his voice narrating it in my head because it’s perfection! He is able to give each character distinctive voices and is consistent with the use. He has a pleasant voice, keeps a great pace and is clear and concise is his narration. He conveys emotions through the characters and lets the focus be on the story and characters, not the narration.

I didn’t get as much of the family as I expected or wanted but, hey, it’s a novella! And it’s about Connor and River and their story was already too short. I would have loved to have a longer story with them. I never felt like their story ended with a HEA because it felt like they only just came together, and the next page was the end. There was a nice epilogue that helped a little, but I really needed more of these two. I needed the payoff for the drama.
