About this listen
Lady Emma Whitton has decided it's time to take her future in her own hands. She has been in love with Viscount Heathfield since she was in leading strings. Unfortunately, it's been almost that long since she's laid eyes on her brother's old friend and vice versa. Tired of waiting for him to remember her, Emma pens a holiday invitation (in her brother's hand) to Heathfield and waits as patiently as she is able for her one true love to arrive.
Heath isn't quite certain what to make of the very strange summons he received, but his curiosity is most definitely piqued. He heads north to Danby Castle, only to find that his very orderly life is about to be turned upside down.

A Counterfeit Christmas
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It is a very quick, short, fun read. The story is entertaining. There is romance, and humor in the story. Also a little mystery. Even though the story of Emma's twin sister was not told in this book, I read between the lines and felt like something was going on with her.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Emma was my favorite just because she was young and foolish and did things without thinking them through and then had to deal with the consequences of her actions! There was a lot of humor in her character.
What does Gill Hoodless bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I always remember the story a lot better and longer if I hear it instead of just read it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Since it was a short read I was able to read it through in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
My first book by Ave Stone and I enjoyed it!

Loved these characters
A Counterfeit Christmas Summons was a great little Christmas break. Remembering young love and our impatience, this story rang true. The importance of good communication and telling a good fabrication is paramount to understanding your would-be suitor. I love happy endings and heroines who believe in making things happen!
Ava Stone is becoming another favorite writer.

Where’s the Christmas?
When I read a regency Christmas, I expect something to indicate that it is Xmas. This could have been any random house party in any random 1800-1900 time period. Disappointing

A Counterfeit Christmas Summons
This was short story so things moved very quickly. But, it was fun. I’d love to listen to a full length book by Eva Stone, as she left me wanting to know more about the characters. I’m thinking her books would be fun and light! Narrator Gill Hoodless was very good.
