This trio of stories each tells the story of one of the Baker sisters, Faith, Ann Elise and Marilou. I really enjoyed the three stories and had they been independent books would have loved them, probably given them 4 stars. BUT, they were put together in a trilogy and by the third story I was so distracted by the editing, or lack there of, that I couldn't enjoy what was happening with the characters. I want to say that I'm not usually very picky about editing but this was just to glaring. These three stories were supposed to all happen the same 2-3 week Christmas period. When Faith's children were introduced in the first story, they were 5 and 8, in the other two stories they were 6 and 9. A dinner invitation in the second story that Ann Elise didn't want to accept in the second story so Faith accepted it, in the third story they had Ann Elise making a big deal about how she accepted a surprise invitation for all of them to the country club. If you can look past the editing, I think you'll enjoy this book. If bad editing drives you up the wall, skip this one.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is a three story anthology about the Baker sisters, Faith, Ann Elise, and Marilou. Ms. Banks,Ms.Browning, and Ms. DeNosky weave an anthology worth reading. Readers will enjoy meeting Gabriel, Joe, and Tate, the three sexy men who sweep the Baker sister's off their feet. I truly enjoyed these three heartwarming tales and wouldn't have missed them for the world.If you are a romantic at heart, then HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS will surely touch you.

"Faith's Sugar-Plum Daddy," a novella by fan-favorite Leanne Banks, is the highlight of this anthology. "Home For the Holiday" offers three stories of sisters who return for a Holiday reunion to a small Texas town. The heroines are appealing and the heroes, sexy. This a great Holiday treat for a cold, winter night!

When I read the first story "Faith's Surgar Plum Daddy, by Leanne Banks, I could feel the chemistry between the characters Faith and Gabriel Raines, after reading this book I kept thinking about these two and Faith's kids great read, the second book was OK, in this story I did not feel the Chemistry with the characters in this one, Ann Elise and Joe, he did not to anything for me. Now I must say the last story did it from me, I loved it so much more than the first story and that is saying a lot because I loved that one. Talking about Chemisty these to have it, oh everytime Tate would call Marilou darlin, I had to stop for a moment and take it all in, in this book they have Gabriel and Joe, It was good to have Gabrel in this book, oh what a enjobable read :)

Again Leanne Banks does a wonderful job of telling a heartwarming story. I love this author!
