Summary: Nick and Ellie have been divorced for two years, due to the vicious machinations of Monique, his secretary, who hoped to marry him. After the divorce Nick makes it clear to Monique that he wants nothing to do with her. Unfortunately, Ellie does not know that.

When they meet, accidentally, at a hotel in the Quebec countryside, they begin to resolve their differences, and confess to each other that they did not want the divorce.

While they are in the Bar Intime, suddenly Monique appears. Is she there at Nick's invitation, as she tells Ellie, or is she stalking Nick?

How can Ellie be sure Nick is serious about her? Does he really want to marry her again, as he says -- or is he merely having a fling with her?

Deb's Review: Love for Christmas is a sweet soft love story by Kate Hofman. This story is soft yet passionate with a little something for everyone.

Nick and Ellie captured my heart because their characters are so intense. They felt very genuine as the story of lovers lost unfolds. Ellie is a brave lady willing to give into what she wants. I would have liked to see a little more fight—a little more battle—with her emotions on giving into Nick. I would have made him beg a little. {insert evil laugh here} Nick is just charming and so willing to do what needs to be done to capture Ellie's heart again. I did like that fact that Nick's character really dealt with his miscommunication with his wife. That is what made me enjoy this book even more, the realness of them both. Nick and Ellie will have you believing that anything is possible as long as there is love.

As for the second level characters, they were just as likeable as the top rung characters. You have the ever-so-vibrant Maddy, who I just adored. Then you have Alain, who is a rascal if I ever saw one, and Monique, the evil temptress. With these three there is never a dull moment. As for the location of places in this book, they are real places. Saint-Anne-des-Monts sounds just beautiful. When I return to Quebec this summer I am heading there to see its wonder. I have driven by the Hotel Auberge and it is truly breathtaking; Ms. Hofman captured it well.

I was charmed by the plot line and setting of this book: the Quebec countryside, sleigh rides, reunited lovers, new friends, and explosive passion.

Love for Christmas is a Christmas Romance that will last forever in this reviewer’s heart and will be re-read as well. Kate Hofman is phenomenal! An absolute delight to discover.
