Warm and fuzzy
It was a nice story. Unfortunately the narrator was sub par. She didn’t do male voices and sometimes I couldn’t tell who was talking. Sometime she made Joe, who was a New Yorker, have a drawl, like she forgot. Good story tho’

Just ok
Just ok to me. Very, very predictable. Cute even though you knew what would happen next.

Christmas with a twist.
Overall Holly and Joe’s store is enjoyable but nit quiet what I thought it would be.
A color listen for the descriptions are wonderful, but the story needs another point of view to ensure its well rounded.

It Started With Christmas
Her Poppa passed away which was so very sad 😢. I loved my grandfather more than words can say and I have cried 1 million tears over loosing my Papa. This was Holly and Nana’s first Christmas without Poppa. And she met Joseph Barnes who was actually the love of her life. She had mixed feelings about him, and was planning his wedding. Her Poppa had hidden a box in the barn to give to Nana. This would be the last gift she would receive from Poppa. This was a wonderful audiobook, so heartfelt, warm and inviting. I was hoping Rhett called Holly onto the stage that Joe would be there. This was such a heartfelt audiobook that it brought tears to my eyes. I truly loved this story. Hopefully the next audiobook Joe will propose marriage to Holly. Looking forward to next audio.

Tennessee accents
The story was good but the Tennessee pronunciation of some words was not accurate. I was born and raised right outside Nashville and the pronunciation of certain words were annoying to listen to.

disappointing
character development was inconsistent. behaviors and event did not add up. very disappointed after reading other reviews. I just couldnt like the main character, she was stupid, and the others were underdeveloped.

Narrator can’t hide her non-southern roots
Southerners do not pronounce the word ‘been’ exactly like ‘bean’. Southerners pronounce it ‘bin’. And Southerners don’t say, again as if it rhymes with train.

The way the narrator says been and against really got on my nerves. Other than that I loved the story.

i was not a fan at the beginning with some of the forced southern accents, but gave it a second try and so glad i did. this is a wonderful story. it keeps you guessing up to the end.
