About this listen

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?

An absolutely beautiful story.

This was another great book from this author.
The relationship between Ryan and Madison started out
as best friends when they were young.
Madison decided to visit her best friend over the Christmas brake
as she waited to start a new job.
Ryan was happy to see her and things soon changed in there filling towards
each other and Ryan’s daughter was absolutely delightful.
All round this was an amazing story.
The narrator really knows how to bring all the characters alive which brings the hole
book alive.

Nothing beats spending Christmas in Heart Falls

Nothing beats spending Christmas in Heart Falls. Ms. Arend continues to deliver, this time with Madison, Ryan and Talia's story. Who knew that a visit to Heart Falls would turn into a permanent move instead! As usual, Tatiana Sokolov brought the book to life narrating. Love the series! #vivianarend #heartfalls

Another Five Star Story

Vivian Arend consistently keeps me enthralled and entertained. This Christmas book is no exception. Great storyline, character development along with Tatiana’s fantastic narration makes me so happy! Just the right amount of romance with an HEA. I always look forward to visiting one of Vivian’s fictional towns. Thanks for another wonderful book.

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 with heat!

Best friends to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes and this one was so good! Add in a single dad with a sweet little girl and this made for a wonderful story.
Each of the books in this series can be read as a standalone but the epilogue at the end of each one is a teaser for the next story so you might want to read them in order. Having said that, I didn’t read them in order and I don’t regret that.
Ryan is finally ready to move on after the death of his wife eight years ago but he never expected to fall in love with his best friend. Tatiana Sokolov did another great job performing this audiobook.

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

Ugly Christmas Sweaters HA

Friends since childhood, Ryan and Madison have some weird tradition about an ugly Christmas sweater, and with her suprise visit Ryan starts to see a whole new possibility of a future. This friends to more romance tugs the heartstrings and is a hoot to boot. Narrator give the characters the bling to makes them so real, like this town is just wait for you to visit. I can’t wait to start the next one
