About this listen
A year's worth of novellas from 12 inspirational romance authors. Happily ever after guaranteed.
What started as a whim turned into an accidental - and very public - engagement. Can Layla and Seth keep up the façade in Chapel Springs this holiday season - for the sake of her career…and his heart?
Under normal circumstances, Seth Murphy - the best friend of Layla O'Reilly's ex-fiancé - would be the last person she'd marry. But the news of their upcoming (and phony) nuptials convinces a big client that Layla may be high-society enough to work for his agency - a coup that would put her fledgling home-staging business on the map.
Seth has secretly loved Layla for years, even when she was dating his best friend. Maybe she'll never forgive him for the way he hurt her back then, but he has to try. And Layla is willing to keep up their engagement farce until she's landed her client. For Layla, it's the chance to save her career. But for Seth, it's his last chance to win her heart.

Story
When some pretty little thing shows up at my doorstep with a suitcase, claiming she rented my house for the summer, I waste no time informing her that my house isn't for rent. Some Internet jack*ss scammed her out of all her money, but that's not my problem. Only when I find her sleeping in her car a couple days later, I can't turn my back. I make her an offer: room and board in exchange for working on my ranch. She agrees, and I open my doors to a girl who sings too loud, sticks her nose where it doesn't belong, and distracts me with her tight jeans and those full lips.

Sadie Schrock swore she would never marry. All of her other Amish friends could court and marry—she was content to manage the family business and eventually take it over when her parents are ready to retire. But all of that changes when a reckless driver kills both of her parents and seriously injures her younger sister. With mounting hospital bills adding to the pile of debt her parents left behind, Sadie is left with no choice: She must marry. And not just any man—the man who saw her at her weakest and walked away.

Reader was awful
Nice story but the reader was awful. She is not able to do different voices. It was hard to tell which character was speaking.

Short Cute story
I decided to read this book because I saw the movie and liked it a lot .. and after reading the book I still think Hallmark did a great job with the movie
the story is very short you practically will finish it in one sitting but it gives a good vibe no drama or any of that .. but I still think the movie was better :)
The narration was the worst thing about this book, she was so monotone and no voice ranges at all .. I wouldn't waste a credit over it just read the book

4 Star Story; 2 Star Narration
This was a decently well-developed novella in the Chapel Springs series and I enjoyed the kind of second chance, enemies-to-love romance. The characters were nice with an extra special hero. I loved Seth Murphy. Unfortunately, the audio narration was subpar. The narrator didn't use any kind of distinguishing inflections or diction for different characters. It was often a guessing game as to who was saying what until the definitive "he said/she said." If time had allowed, I would have switched to strictly reading, but I persevered since it was a fairly short story. I'll be sure to avoid this particular narrator in the future.

The movie ruined it
After seeing the Hallmark movie I must say I honestly thought the book would have been better :( Also, the narrator did not change her voice even a little for different characters.

Cute story, poor narration.
Having seen the Hallmark movie, which I loved, I thought the book would have been better as most times they are. Not this time. The narrator's voice was not entertaining at all, she simply read the words.
If you like fake relationships that dangle true love with great chemistry, then this is a good listen. However, the movie was so much better than the narration.

A fake engagement story.
A sweet fake engagement story set against the backdrop of Christmas. Layla and Seth have an arrangement that benefits them both, except one of them wishes it was a real relationship. This story shares characters from another of Mrs. Hunter’s books, Barefoot Summer. She is one of my favorite authors.
The narration is okay, but not great. The narrator over-emphasizes words throughout the story, which sounds a little bit odd to me.

Boring narrator
I listen to at least 5 books a week on audible. For me it’s not just the story but the narrator that holds my attention and keeps me listening. Neither happened with this narrator. I could not finish the audible version, which is a little over 2 hours long, even though I can sit through many audible books that are 12 hours long. I will try reading the book on kindle and hopefully I will finish the book.

Voice lacking
The written story is paced really well. The audio is not. And her character voices really lack.
