Summary

This hero needs a holiday miracle or two - and she’s just the one to deliver. 

A stand-alone holiday story from New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.

Single father Ryan Zhao didn’t expect a ghost from his past to literally slide back into his life. His long-time friendship with Madison Joy is a pure, sweet memory, and with the holidays fast approaching, her surprise visit is perfect. Maddy’s a breath of fresh air, full of ideas and enthusiasm - and far too attractive to a lonely man like him. Best friends to lovers might be tempting, but it’s also dangerous, since she’s leaving after Christmas. 

Madison thrives on fixing things. If Ryan insists she stick around and bother him and his adorable daughter for all of December, she’ll do what she can to make his life brighter. Which means reviving their ugly sweater tradition, organizing a not-so-traditional Nutcracker - and fighting to keep from falling in love with her former best friend and his motherless child. 

She’s already given up her dreams once to help take care of her family. No matter how much he wants her to stay, Ryan refuses to ask her to do it again for him and his little girl. Can holiday magic find a way to take these two lonely hearts from friends to forever?

Feel good Christmas story

Reviewer received a free copy to review

This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I love love love a good small town series and getting to know all the characters and places. This book, while on the shorter side, checked all my feel-good boxes. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series.

Not my first audiobook by this narrator. She’s one of my favorites.

sweet Christmas novella

old friends reconnect, single father, cute daughter, part of the Heart Falls world.

A bit too much time was spent on the Christmas play/fundraiser - didn't enjoy that section.

Great narration by Tatiana Sokolov

Great Christmas romance. The narration was great.
