About this listen
A Christmas Carol with a splash of romance
The world’s most wonderful time of year can rot, as far as Caralyn Benzer is concerned. Life has taken her down some dark paths since her mother’s death seven years ago, and all she wants is for her to feel normal again.
When her mom appears to her on December 1, demanding Caralyn change or else, Caralyn is sent on a 30-day journey through her past, present, and future with a ghostly form of her partner, the only person who can help her remember who she was before her Christmas was destroyed.
Her dreams start affecting reality as she learns from the past and reviews the choices that have taken her so far from who she used to be. When the real Bobby shows a stronger interest in Caralyn, her resolve to keep him at an arm’s length wavers, especially when Bobby’s ex-fiancé comes to visit. The only thing standing between her choices and her desired change is herself.
Can she put the past aside long enough to be the person in the future she yearns to be?

Story
I, Charlotte Valentine, am mostly of sound mind. Typically, I make really good choices. I went to college, never did drugs...I even brush and floss every day. That’s not to say I don’t make poor decisions - believe me, I do. They always seem to involve men - everything from gluing my eye shut to falling in love with my boss. Did I mention he was famous? Oh, Drake Foster, you beautiful creature. My sister told me not to accept the position as his personal assistant. Apparently, she thinks it’s emotionally unhealthy for me to work for the object of my desire. What does she know?

Story
After a disastrous family Thanksgiving, all I wanted was to avoid anything holly and jolly this year, so an unexpected business trip seemed like the perfect escape plan...until I landed smack-dab in the middle of a freaking winter wonderland, otherwise known as Carole Cove, Montana. It’s merrier and brighter than the North Pole. The town even comes with its own Mr. Holiday - Noel Holiday, that is. Not only is he holly and jolly, but he’s hotter than the lattes he sells at his café. And for some reason, he would love nothing more than to share the magic of the season with me.

Not everyone is destined to live happily ever after, right? I’d be fine with averagely ever after. Lower expectations mean less heartbreak. But then I meet Mac and Daisy. Single dad Mac needs a temporary nanny for his daughter, Daisy. I need a second job until my promotion kicks in. It’s the perfect arrangement…until it isn’t. Because who can resist a dad buying ballerina tights after a day spent in a hard hat? Not me, that’s for sure. Now, Mac’s green eyes and Daisy’s crooked pigtails have me dreaming about a future I can’t give them.

He has a plan to help me believe in the magic of holidays again. Maybe, just maybe, it will be a very merry Christmas after all.

Elena MacKinnon has spent the last seven years training to become a proper English lady. When her childhood friend, Captain Theo Donovan, returns from serving in the Navy, he brings along with him Elena’s humiliation for the ill-advised and ardent love letter she wrote him before his departure, which he ignored entirely. Elena hopes to simultaneously stifle his memory of the letter and make him regret overlooking her, showing him just how fine an English lady she can be. The only problem? She is not English but a proud Scot—and her heart may be more enamored with Theo than ever.

When my best friend found out I’d be alone over Christmas, she hooked me up with a week's stay in her family’s cabin in Idaho. I was on a publishing deadline for my latest book and was really looking forward to a cozy week by the fire, cuddled up in flannel pajamas with my laptop and hot chocolate. Alone. So imagine my surprise when I arrived at the cabin during a blizzard and found it already occupied by an all too familiar face and a fine pack of chiseled abs.

A New Take on An Old Classic
I love Christmas love stories at certain times of year and this book definitely scratched that itch. I could have done without the twist to draw it out but overall it was a good book. Kept me engaged and interested. I did yell at a character once or twice which is always a sign of a good book to me.
