All I Want for Christmas [Audiobook, MP3 Audio, Unabridged] [MP3 CD]

Nora Roberts (Author), Patrick Lawlor (Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 15, 2009

Zeke and Zack Taylor, motherless six-year-old identical twins, are facing "real" school--first grade--and they are worried. Their father, Mac Taylor, is a builder who fixes up old buildings in their small town, and the boys are afraid he'll be too busy to help them out with the new demands of their school. They decide to write to Santa and ask for a mother. When they see the new music teacher, Nell Davis, at school, she meets all their requirements, and they realize this is the mom they've requested. Mac is attracted to Nell, but is reluctant to pursue her, as his wife had walked out on him, and he doesn't want to risk hurting his children. The romance blossoms despite his fears, and the story is filled with the joy and anticipation of Christmas as the magic of the children's wish comes true.

3.0 out of 5 stars high priced retreads, October 3, 2004

This review is from: The Gift: Home for Christmas / All I Want for Christmas (Hardcover)

Be wary of the fancy new cover, the new title and fancy new price. These were single titles Silhouettes that sold for about 2 bucks each when they were release about 20 years ago. If you're a Nora fan, you likely have them on your keeper shelf already. Home for Christmas and All I Want for Christmas.

Two so-so Christmas stories, put out to get you in the mood for the Hols and to part you with your dollars/pounds.

If you're a Nora fan and have never read them - and don't mind the HIGH PRICE TAG - then you will enjoy them. Everyone else be careful to check your old Nora titles before buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a new Nora book, September 30, 2004

By 

Morgan - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gift: Home for Christmas / All I Want for Christmas (Hardcover)

Do not waste your money on this. It is an old Nora Roberts book being recycled by a company that is not even her current publisher. If you want NEW Nora books [Like Northern Lights in October, or Blue Dahlia in November]you should look for the Gold 'NR' seal on the cover. You can also check the Nora Roberts store at Amazon [on the Romance and Mystery pages]

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Holiday Book, January 19, 2005

By

This review is from: The Gift: Home for Christmas / All I Want for Christmas (Hardcover)

"The Gift" is a novel made up of two stories. The first, "Home for Christmas" is about a man, Jason, going back home to the small town he left years ago. He goes back to found Faith, his high school sweetheart he left behind to make a life for himself. He wants to take her away with him, but he discovers she has established a life for herself and her daughter in her town. So he tries to fit into her new life, but she has some trouble accepting him back in her life. The second story is titled ""All I want For Christmas". It's about two twin boys who want nothing for Christmas except a new mom, a love for their dad. So, Santa sends them their wish, in the form of a new teacher. The only problem is, their dad doesn't seem to notice Miss Davis, and they think their Christmas wish won't come true.
I chose this book because the holiday season was beginning and I was in the mood for nothing but Christmas romance novels. I was very happy with my decision. This is the perfect book to read if you just want to enjoy a fun story and a happy ending. The stories are well written and make you feel for the characters as if they were your friends. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and recommend it for anyone who wants a smile on their face.
