Someone has an ice-cold heart, because someone broke it. 💔

A short, sweet romance without the steam, thank-you.

Gave me some vibes of You've Got Mail, the rom-com starring Meg Ryan , which is a favorite. I could even imagine Meg starring as Nola!

The narration is good, but one minor character's voice did sound kinda like a munchkin! Also has some LOL moments.

Give it a listen if you like short and sweet rom-coms with some Christmas cheer.

The audio is only 1 hour and 42 minutes. 🙌🎧Narrated by: Carly Robins, Aaron Shedlock

Colleen Scidmore I looove this title..lol. Wow that is a short audio. I’m starting to enjoy ChickLit/Romance books without the steam more and more. It’s easy to put steamy scenes in a romance and call it a day but you have to have a little something extra in the writing department to keep readers engaged in a bedroom-less romance. Wonderful review Holly! 💚

Nancy (playing catch-up) This one is up next for me. I've trying to keep my reading light around the holiday, giving myself a hiatus from the darkness of some of the thrillers.
