With her career as a Los Angeles event planner imploding after a tabloid blowup, Morgan Ross isn't headed home for the holidays so much as in strategic retreat. Breathtaking mountain vistas, quirky townsfolk, and charming small businesses aside, her hometown on Fern Falls is built of one heartbreak on top of another . . .

Take her one-time best friend turned crush, Rachel Reed. The memory of their perfect, doomed first kiss is still fresh as new-fallen snow. Way fresher than the freezing mud Morgan ends up sprawled in on her very first day back, only to be hauled out via Rachel's sexy new lumberjane muscles acquired from running her family tree farm.

When Morgan discovers that the Reeds' struggling tree farm is the only thing standing between Fern Falls and corporate greed destroying the whole town's livelihood, she decides she can put heartbreak aside to save the farm by planning her best fundraiser yet. She has all the inspiration for a spectacular event: delicious vanilla lattes, acoustic guitars under majestic pines, a cozy barn surrounded by brilliant stars. But she and Rachel will ABSOLUTELY NOT have a heartwarming holiday happy ending. That would be as unprofessional as it is unlikely. Right?

As it says this novel includes the return of a woman to her home town where she encounters a love once lost. Through circumstance and some well written angst there is a story of community, growth, and different kinds of forgiveness. Whether for others or even one’s own self.

A great read that despite me walking into it simply for a holiday Sapphic romance found myself at the end feeling a good deal of joy and contentment.

The story was well written and very believable. Characters actually stood out and had depth, something that can kill the main characters personality if their only foil is the love interest.


The kinds of troubles they deal with lead to some very heartfelt and healing moments of resolution. Also proving that there can still
Be progress when something cannot actually be fixed.


Of course the wonderfully placed and thankfully unforced sex scenes were exactly what a lover of this genre fans their face over.


The single VA did wonderful. Just enough inflection and tone that I was never confused as to who was speaking. The light tone of narration truly adding to the atmosphere of a small town in the midst of a Christmas conundrum.


All around, excellent work

Oh, my heart, I loved this audiobook! It’s a small-town, wintery, second chance queer romcom. If you love heartwarming Hallmark movies where small town residents battle corporate greed, you’ll love In the Event of Love! Courtney Kae wrote a beautiful, spicy LGBTQ+ love story with endearing characters in a dreamy ski town.

Melissa Moran did a fantastic job with this solo narration. I loved her portrayal of Morgan and Rachel. She gave a lovely performance of this snuggly & spicy winter romcom.

Morgan is an indignant whiny MC in the beginning of the story. Every wrong that happened in her life is someone else's fault. Then when her character development happens, she finds out that other people have problems too. She soon grows into someone who's likeable and a very hallmark-like story ensues. But then... she does a 180, and it's like she learns nothing! Zilch, nada, zero! When she doesn't get what she wants, she becomes a petulant child once again! The entire story is about her moaning about how she deserves to be treated this way or that way. And she works to try and overcome it; then, she proves the people saying it right! I became one of those people! At the end of the book, I was rolling my eyes because if this person was real, I'd just give them the finger and slam the door in their face. Yes, I get it; she has abandonment issues, but you gotta really have a big heart and skin made of steel to

The story was good and it didn't stray outside a holiday romance. The side characters were really good though; they add a lot of levity, especially Ben.

This book was … boring. Not sure if it was the narration or the story. I listen in the car, and a good book makes me wish for longer rides, or has me listening when I’m cooking or doing other chores too. This one had me listening to music, and even another book before I finished it. Even the sex was unexciting.

This was a great story about finding yourself, the one you love and never giving up.

This is a super cute Sapphic rom-com. It's like a gay hallmark movie in book form. Even though it's light and there's a happy ending. It was a rocky, emotional trip with some heavy issues unpacked and addressed. The character development is great!

Super Cute!

This book is bisexual Christmas hallmark perfection! Loved the characters and the story of healing yourself from the past insecurities that mentally held back the mcs. Their second-chance love story is swoon worthy! Loved how cozy and easy this read was.

Hallmark perfection!

If you like Hallmark movies, this is up your alley. It was a bit slow at first, but picks up.
I'm a bit of a slow burn lover, but this one is a little more fast paced than what I usually read. Cute holiday story. Open door romance.

Great feel good book. I found this book to be well written, entertaining, and perfectly narrated. I will eagerly await more from this author.

This was sweet soft and definitely followed a hallmark style vibe. The initial promise of the premise fell to little episodic. i think if the pacing was a little slower or the reason the initial outings were organized the way they were was a little more clear, there would have been a bigger emotional impact. Still overall, very sweet.
And I was rooting for the town as well as the couple.
