Goodreads-
The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill's wedding. Since her husband died three years ago, Gaby's four children have drifted apart, each consumed by the turbulence of their own lives. They haven't celebrated Christmas together since their father's death, but when Gaby announces that she's getting married--and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day--she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays.

But the wedding isn't Gaby's only surprise--she has one more gift for her children, and it could change all their lives forever. With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, The Christmas Wedding is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.

    I liked this book, I LOVE James Patterson. My only problem is I felt like there wasn't enough back story.

    I also liked this book. I actually felt as though the back-story was enough but it may be put in a strange order throughout the book.

    I'm still working on this one. I think my problem is that I went into it thinking I wouldn't like it because of the author. So, it's taken longer. Planning on finishing this weekend so I can get into January's title. But, so far I do like it. It's ok. I highly doubt that Patterson is the one who wrote it though. I think the co-author listed wrote it especially since the dedication is by him. Slapping Patterson's name on it just help to make it fly off the shelves like hotcakes.

    Just finished this one. It was a good story. One of those feel good kind. If only life could be that way for everyone. I had to look at it like -- if anybody other than Patterson had authored this, I would say I liked it. So, I liked it. Didn't think it was all that hard though to figure out which guy she was going to marry.
