Wynne has written a very sweet Christmassy story to get you in the season! Joss is trying to heal from some family hurt and loss when she meets Ben. Ben is initially this kind of douchey person who is a player of women. She obviously doesn’t trust him, but there is more to Ben than we initially see. He is sweet and very loyal, once he stops his player act. I really enjoyed following along with their romance and felt hope for them to heal each other while I was listening! It gave me all the Christmas and lovey dovey feels 🙂 I’d give it a 4/5 stars!

For the audio I really enjoyed Sheckells and how she voiced both Joss and Ben. She had a clear, steady voice. I enjoyed her pacing and where she paused. The characters certainly came more alive under her voice and I could tell Sheckells was into the story that she was reading to me. I really loved it! I give it 5/5 stars!

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Aubrey Wynne. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
