About this listen
A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Holiday Romance from New York Times bestselling author, Samantha Chase!
Everyone in the building loved the bake shop a lot.
Except for the guy on the top floor, who most certainly did not.
If it were up to him, there wouldn’t be a hint of Christmas in the building.
For two months out of the year, Daphne Noelle got to live her dream of owning a bakery. Her little pop-up bake shop—one that looked just like a gingerbread house—brought joy to every customer who stopped by to enjoy her sweet treats. She loved meeting people and making them smile, and being in such a festive setting every day was just the icing on the cake! For the last three years, everything had gone smoothly, but this year, there was one guy who was determined to ruin it all.
One of the things Tristan appreciated most about the office complex where his architecture firm was located is how upscale and elegant it was. Unfortunately, every year for eight long weeks, a holiday shop set up in the lobby, turning it into the equivalent of a traveling circus, and the bake shop booth was the worst offender. The giant gingerbread house was an eyesore and the woman running it was too cheery for his liking. This year, he was determined to do everything he could to have her and her booth removed.
When Tristan finds himself in the middle of a delicate family situation, only Daphne can help him. Now, he’ll have to beg and plead and promise to be on his best behavior while dealing with her exuberant holiday joy. But the more time he spends with her—and the more awkward situations she saves him from—he begins to realize there’s more to her than over-the-top holiday cheer. And maybe, when you’re with the right person, Christmas can mean a little bit more.

But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off.

Oops.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.

Samantha Dare had one thought when she found out her fiancé was a lying cheater. Escape. So, she ran from her wedding…straight into the arms of the man who once gave her the hottest kiss of her life. But rebounding with her brother’s friend would be a huge mistake…wouldn’t it? The last thing Dex Sterling needed was more chaos in his life. Retiring from football and starting over in broadcasting gave him plenty of that. But even though Samantha is chaos personified, for some reason, he’s still not able to keep his mind—or hands—off her.

Everyone is heading home for the holidays. Everyone except Kate. Having just run away from her boyfriend Lance’s unexpected proposal (in front of her entire family), Kate was the only person in her office happy to take an unexpected last-minute work trip posting to Boston. Arriving in the snow-covered, fairy-light-filled city, Kate feels immediately at home. That is until she meets Sam, a cross between a lumberjack and an Abercrombie model standing in the kitchen of her new place.

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

Kettle had it all. Until he didn't. He lost it all in a moment. One heart stopping, soul shattering moment, and there wasn't a single thing he could do about it. From that day forward, he stayed away from relationships. Then he responded to a possible fire and there she was, rocking his world when he didn't want it to be rocked. Adeline was just a schoolteacher. She lived a boring life. Until she stole something. And it didn't have anything to do with the sexy firefighter's heart. Oh, she stole that, too, even if he didn't want it to be stolen.

My life and career have conditioned me to be prepared for—and desensitized to—traumatic events. Rather, they should’ve. But one phone call blindsided me in a way I never expected, and now there’s a screaming eight-month-old in my custody. I would’ve done anything to ensure my niece didn’t enter the system, but I never wanted a family. I never wanted ties to anyone, period. But then my meddling office administrator forcibly hires a nanny for me, and all my resolute vows start crumbling when I come face to face with Lainey Pearson … again.

Tis the season
From the start I knew I was in for a magical read from Samantha Chase.
Bakery Owner Daphne Noelle loves the holidays but Tristan hates the idea of her pop up bake shop. He’s a grinch and dislikes the holiday season.
However when circumstances means he needs Daphne, help he has no choice but to swallow his pride:
What follows was a truly entertaining story that had me smiling and cheering. The added benefit of it being set in a small town with quirky characters just adds to the story.
I just loved this holiday romance from the first word to the last.

Sweet, enemies to lovers holiday romance.
Move over Hallmark. Samantha Chase has given us the perfect holiday romance. It's the kind of story that makes you want to curl up with a blanket, warm drink and a fire. It's an enemies to lovers, opposites attract holiday romance.
Tristan is an overworked, straight-laced architect stressed out as the holidays approach. Daphne is the baker that runs a popup space for 2 months over the holidays in the lobby of his building. She often refers to him as grinchy-grincherson. Tristan is forced to help throw the family and business annual parties and begrudgingly now needs Daphne's help with baked goods and hostessing. Let the fake dating commence! I enjoyed watching their relationship change and grow as they navigate through the stressful holiday season.
This is a single narration by Melanie Mendez. I think this is the first Melanie book for me and I enjoyed her very much. She did an excellent job distinguishing between characters and kept me entertained.
This is a sweet story with lots of heart, great characters and the perfect read for the holidays.

Cozy holiday read
Daphne and Tristan were complete opposites and strangers to each other that is until Tristan needed Daphne's baking skills. It was so entertaining to listen to their witty banter and watch their relationship grow into something much deeper. While I wasn’t a fan of how Daphne handled the problem near the end, the conclusion was still satisfying.
This audiobook was easy to dive into, thanks to the skillful narrator. It’s a cozy and sweet story, perfect for a holiday read.

Cute holiday story
Cute holiday story about a grinch and a holiday loving girl. They ended up having a fake relationship for his family and he saw how wonderful she was. She, of course, was able to get him to love the holidays and her. The narration was great.
