About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Chloe can't wait for Christmas...to be over! Her son Ruben is staying with his dad this year and Chloe is planning to ignore the holidays all together. Her only nod to the season is the advent calendar Ruben left her, to help count down the days till he's home again.

But then an heir hunter gets in touch, telling her there's a plot of land in Canada she may be entitled to. Surely, it's a scam. Or could it be just the escape she needs right now? They're offering to pay for her flights...and Ruben's latest note in the advent calendar tells her to 'say yes!'

Suddenly, Chloe's new countdown to Christmas involves a log cabin in the middle of a snowy forest, a community that's worried for its future, a gruff lumberjack who gives her butterflies and a lot of pancakes with maple syrup...

This Christmas is full of surprises!

Great characters, with a fabulous setting. A lovely chilled out book to relax with.

Engrossing all the way through.

The beautiful descriptions stirred my senses. I could hear the owls, taste the maple syrup and feel the gentle cold caress of snowflakes whilst smelling the pine and visualising the forest and beautiful scenery blanketed in glistening white!

The story was an engaging page turner.

A feel good read full of ups and downs , twists and turns,with believable characters and a romantic thread.

Overall this was a fantastic story.
I affectionately refer to stories like this as "fluff". It was so Winter-y.
There were some parts where affections and feelings seemed to progress out of nowhere.
On the whole though it was my second book in a row where it dares you to say "yes" more often and that can only be good.
The narrator was so talented with her accents and voices too, it really does help the story along as you forget it's only 1 person to whom you are to listening.

Ahh maple syrup and snow...

Loved it all! Such a beautiful story, well written and well read.
Got me all ready for Christmas

Feel-good, heart warming listen

Syrupy sweet, nice story. Rather predictable (aren’t they all?) and main character was a little annoying with the soul-searching. That said this was likeable and I enjoyed it.

A typical Jo Thomas story that makes you want to go there this time a visit to a wintery town in Canada
Great narration

Lovely christmas story

A nuce "cosy Christmas" read that doesn't fall into too many of the normal plot traps. The narrator has a lovely voice and pleasant style but dies mispronounce a few words which jars just a little

Pleasant and light

The story itself is actually decent. It's a nice little Christmas romp, nothing too deep and generally quite cosy.

The narrator completely ruined to the point where I almost dumped it though. It's like she is reading to a small child.

Her tone completely missed the mark every single time. Every moment of romantic tension was totally lost and the stakes, which are actually quite high, were reduced to nothing because it every character was read as being so unnaturally cheerful.

It's a real shame but honestly so bad that I'll be making sure I don't buy any titles she's narrating again.
