About this listen
An ode to A Christmas Carol done Heart Falls style (that means with kissing).
The final stand-alone story in the best-selling Holidays in Heart Falls series by New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.
This rancher wasn’t looking for love—but she’s been right there the entire time.
In their mid-40s when they first met, widow Sonora Fallen and vows-to-stay-single rancher Ashton Stewart both felt a spark but agreed being friends was more important than becoming lovers. For many years, that decision held firm, and other than one time, their grumbly-in-public, friends-in-private arrangement has stuck.
Now 16 years later, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future seem determined to change these friends to lovers to...something else? All of Heart Falls is watching, suspicions on the rise as Sonora and Ashton’s secret slips into view.
Can two people used to standing on their own find a way to admit they want more? Or will stubbornness and fear keep them from forever?

Story
"When a fortune cookie on my birthday said “you will meet a tall, dark stranger”, I had laughed it off, but my mom wasn't so sure. As a powerful witch, she mixes potions like a professional chef, and casts incantations like a poet. And me? My greatest accomplishment is burning a can of soup. A practical witch I am not. So when my dreams begin to piece together an ugly picture, I'm not sure what to do or who to trust. And that tall, dark stranger turns out to be more than just a figment of my imagination. This is more than a simple birthday hex.

Great story! Finally get Ashton’s story!
I really enjoyed getting Ashton and Sonora's story finally. We have seen them throughout the Heart Falls series and knew that there was the possibility of something between them and at times seemed like more was going on but never really knew for sure. This book starts in the past and we get to see when Ashton and Sonora meet and how they build their friendship and see their spirited discussions that everyone else sees as arguments and fights. It was great to see them find their solid friendship that ebbed and flowed with life and what was happening around them. I loved getting their entire story as it really made things line up with the time it took for everything to come together. This story was well written and engaging and I loved watching these two find their way together and way forward to more and what they really wanted and needed. This was a great read.
The narrator did a great job with the characters and the story.

Romantic and witty!
OMG, I loved this book so much. Lovers over 60 years-old? Yes! Love doesn't end when you're 40 and Ashton and Sonora really burn up the sheets in this wonderful and touching story. After listening to A Rancher's Love, where Ashton was such a prominent secondary character, I couldn't wait to listen to this book. It was everything I could have wanted in a story for him and Sonora. Their witty bantering back and forth was so much fun. Ashton took a while to get his head out of his tush but once he did the romance and ending of the book was worth the wait.
I almost forgot to say how much I loved that Sonora's dead husband kept giving her advice. Just a little touch of fantasy/paranormal that added a lot to the story.
Tatiana Sokolov did her usual wonderful job with this story and I look forward to listening more of the audiobooks she performs.

I liked this audiobook that has middle aged characters finding love. It was refreshing to have older characters sneaking off to have sex, keeping their relationship a secret from family. Tatiana Sokolov voiced the story well.

Great book in a great series!
Entertaining story with excellent narration. Start at the beginning of the series if you want to see all of the characters' stories, but this can definitely be read as a standalone. Love that the main characters are older, something you don't see much.
