Publisher's summary

Celeste Nichols has always preferred to keep to herself in her hometown of Pine Gulch, Idaho...until she becomes an instant celebrity! When one of her children's stories becomes a major success, she's suddenly the talk of the town. Celeste should be gloriously happy...but something, someone, special is still missing from her life. Could the return of her childhood crush be the answer?

Flynn Delaney has moved back home for his daughter's sake. Yet all the millionaire's resources can't help the little girl heal from the tragic loss of her mother. Shy librarian Celeste and her stories do hold some indefinable magic, though. Flynn came home looking for support - can he find that, and true love, in the one who got away?

Narrator not my style

I might have been able to get into this book, but did not enjoy the narrator's style. When reading she regularly broke sentences in odd places. She does not seem to really feel the emotions of the characters but reads in a rather rote Pollyanna style.

Narrator needs to take less breaks

The stories were good- perhaps a bit sappy, but that's OK. The reader or editor of the recording need to MOVE ALONG! She took a breath and a break after every sentence! I had to put the speed on 1.25 just to keep my attention. Every space between sentences I kept thinking, "...yes...and...get on with it already!"

Couldn’t finish it. Story probably great, narration awful

I’m going to download the book on my kindle, because I think the story shows promise. But the narration is simply too horrible to endure. So bad it’s almost like an actor playing the role of a bad narrator. Still, slow, monotonous. Don’t waste your time.

Decent story...slow narrator

It's two stories around Christmas. Stories themselves are decent. Probably would have preferred reading instead. The narration was so slow and long pauses. It took me a while to get used to it. I did eventually, so the slowness didn't bother me as much on the second story.

Great story. Horrible narration

Love the story, read the book, but the narrator is horrible. She is difficult to listen to the point that I had to stop listening to it

Another poor narration

Too many pauses in the wrong places. Destroys the story with inflections either missing entirely or in the wrong places.

Christmas X 2

My copy included Christmas in Cold Creek as well. I absolutely loved both stories. They both have heartache and happiness along with Christmas Magic. Some of the characters make appearances in both stories but they can be read in any order.
