Marianne Evans delivers a sweet Christmas read. She takes us
to London via Alexa “Lexie” Gordon, a California girl who refuses to spend
Christmas alone regretting her past relationship. So she takes a trip to London
to visit two college roommates.
Peter Colby and his twin sister give Lexie an enthusiastic
welcome and pamper her as well. Peter’s long-held emotions for Lexie shine
through during her stay making Lexie question everything she feels.
Marianne’s characters are richly drawn and keep you guessing
until the very end whether Lexie will follow her heart back to London and to
Peter.
I loved Finding Home
and Marianne’s vivid descriptions. I’ve never been to London, but after reading
this book, I felt like I’d taken a trip "across the pond” and enjoyed
afternoon tea and scones with old friends.
And at the end of the book…a lovely surprise. Lexie’s Cream
Scones Recipe.
Cheerio!
Do people from England really say that? You tell me.
Recommend buying Finding Home for the sweet story, great characters, and the oh, so awesome scone recipe. Check it out!

Marian, I can't thank you enough for the wonderful review of Finding Home! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! Your reaction is just what I had hoped - like you'd been transported to London at Christmas. :-D Glad you liked the recipe! Couldn't resist sharing it!! And, though I'm not a Brit, I've been to London twice and don't so much recall folks saying 'Cheerio' as often as they say, 'Cheers' --- But I leave all things British to those on the other side of the pond! LOL!! God bless, and thank you again!!!
Cheers! I like it. God bless you, Marianne and your writing!
I can't wait to read this one, Marianne. Great review, Marian.
