From Publishers Weekly Fanciful premises and implausible turns of events are the stuff Christmas fiction is made of， but Michaels takes matters too far in this contrived sequel to her 2002 Christmas novella， No Place Like Home， basing her story on a misunderstanding that could be cleared up in a 10-second conversation. Sara and Hannah， two of the three Cisco triplets， are perturbed that their hubbies are coming home later and later， and immediately become convinced that they're having affairs. The truth? Hapless Zack and Joel have bought an expensive boat to sail around the world and are afraid to tell their wives. Sonia， wife of third triplet Sam， has just left her husband—why? He's not ready to start a family， and she's accidentally pregnant. Does she simply tell him? Of course not. The six lovebirds bumble around misunderstanding each other against the backdrop of cozy， homey Larkspur， Pa.， where neighbors help the triplets' grandmother rebuild her tornado-destroyed home. The flimsy premise and artificial drama suck all the charm out of the story， and while Michaels's devoted fans might pick it up out of habit， this soggy tale will frustrate most.

From Booklist Michaels revisits the Cisco family--famous candy company owners and denizens of a small town in Pennsylvania. Loretta， the matriarch， and her beau， Ezra， are lucky enough to survive a surprise tornado that flattens her family home. The close-knit community quickly pulls together to aid everyone who was affected， but Loretta， who is usually levelheaded and commonsensical， has a difficult time getting over the loss of her things. Her worries are multiplied when the grandchildren she raised， the triplets Sam， Hannah， and Sara， appear to have troubles of their own that they are unwilling to share with her. All three have recently married， and all three are experiencing marital difficulties. Sam's wife has disappeared， and Sara and Hannah are certain their doctor husbands are having affairs. But there's a larger issue: the "Trips" were raised as one unit， and they're not used to needing anyone but each other. Their predicament is explored in the same winning and humorous manner the ever-popular Michaels always employs in her believable and highly entertaining tales.
