About this listen

Photographer Libby just got fired. Again. Then she gets home early to find her boyfriend in bed with another woman. And just like that, her dreams of a Christmas Day proposal are shattered.

Libby lands a new job as a personal assistant to enigmatic businessman Seth Coleman. He’s terse and demanding — it’s no wonder Libby keeps messing up.

Then one day an adorable Golden Retriever puppy is delivered to the house. As Libby helps Seth train Barney, she realizes that there’s a surprisingly sweet side to this CEO . . .

But everything goes wrong when Libby finds out that Seth’s company just bought the community centre where they’ve been training Barney. It’s not only puppy classes, it’s a lifeline for the whole village. Libby is devastated when Seth says it’s ‘just business’. So she packs her bags.

Until disaster strikes and Libby is forced to spend her favourite time of the year with a man who doesn’t even own tinsel. It’s up to Libby to bring some much-needed Christmas spirit. Starting with a truce, since they’re going to be stuck together whether they like it or not.

But Libby might just find magic under the mistletoe after all if she can encourage Seth to open his heart to Christmas . . .

I got this via Kindle Unlimited when I was looking for something to have on in the background whilst sick in bed. I didn't have the highest expectations, but I'm really glad I stumbled across this wee book.

The story has been written a thousand times, but it still had me smiling most of the way through it. I really like the love interest's personality coming out more as the story went along, and by the end, I was rooting for him.

The dog was a bit OTT but folk are weird about their pets so...:D

It won't win any prizes for originality or literary genius, but it's a nice wee book and the performance is pretty good too.


Nice little easy listen

Was this book completly self indulgent and predictable? Yes. Did I intently dislike both the main characters? Yes. Did I stay up late to finish it all in less than 47 hours? Also yes.

Its well written, its well performed, its a gentle easy listen. I would recommend, but mostly so that I'd have someone to rant to about the giant walking red flags that the characters are.

tricky to rate this one...

Good structure with beginning, middle and end. I liked that the characters were plausible and true to life. The story had a smile in every chapter and you didn't need to second guess or speculate at all. I really enjoyed this book, and the excellent narrator.

The feel good story with the happy ending.
