About this listen

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.

Unfortunately, this little trip of mine isn't exactly filled with good cheer. But Noel's kisses have a way of making me believe in Christmas miracles. And a miracle might be exactly what it takes to keep the holidays from being ruined forever.

The premise of this book is pretty amusing. Mara dislikes Christmas and ends up in a town full of Hallmark movie clichés. She's a rather odd mix of snarky cynicism and willful naiveté, at least toward her dad. Being surrounded by those clichés makes her conscious of her own wished for happily-ever-after that keeps being denied her.

The cliché with her dad would have worked better if we'd been given some sort of explanation and support for it. And I would have liked for the author to do more with the movie clichés concept, but it was still quite entertaining & worth a listen!

A fun sendup of Hallmark Christmas movies
