About this listen
Very few in Aspen Lake expected that I, Calista Monroe, their most notorious wild child, would ever amount to anything besides being a model prisoner. So, imagine their surprise when I returned as the hospital’s newest ER doctor. Believe me, no one is more surprised than I am. I had vowed to never return, even if it was the last safe haven during the zombie apocalypse. But when my niece Quinn begged me to come home, I couldn’t say no. My plan is to stay out of trouble this time, and, above all, avoid Quinn’s uncle Tristan—the man I love to hate and the reason I left Aspen Lake.
But trouble starts to brew when my niece gets it into her pretty head that her uncle and I need to reconcile. The devious little thing insists we deck the halls together all season long. And since I’ll do anything to make Quinn happy, I agree, believing I’m completely immune to Tristan’s charm. Except the joke’s on me. Who knew that Tristan’s biggest regret was letting me go? And the infuriating man seems willing to do everything possible to win me back. Well, it’s going to take a Christmas miracle before I ever give him a second chance. Unfortunately for my plan, our chemistry could set a blizzard on fire. Now I have a major ex emergency on my hands.
Do I give my niece her Christmas wish, or do I let the love between Tristan and me flatline for once and for all?

My name is Natalie Archer, and I confess to loving nothing more than scheduling my life. And by scheduling, I mean every aspect. So why not schedule my wedding? Do I have a groom? No. Am I dating anyone? Also no. But I have a plan. A good plan, even, to find a Mr. Right who fits all my criteria. The biggest one being he MUST not be famous. Been there, and never doing that again. I’m just about ready to put my plan into action when my famous ex reenters the picture—Josh Keller, the hottest stand-up comedian around, otherwise known as the thorn in my side and the love of my life.

Story
Every person has that one thing they’re known for, and it doesn’t matter what you do, that one thing—whether good or bad—follows you around like a bloodhound for the rest of your life. Tragically for me, it’s a story I wrote when I was 15, based on a real person, Reece Cavanaugh. And guess what? He grew up to be a pirate—okay, lawyer. Same thing. To make matters worse, the man is representing my ex-fiancé. But the more I get to know Reece—the real version, not the imaginary one who ravishes me—I can’t help but wish we could roll around in the sand together.

With a name like Isabelle Valentine, one would think I was destined to find true love and believe in the ridiculous notion of soul mates. Don’t get me wrong: I’m all about love. I even own an inn with my sister where each room is named after our favorite romantic couples. But soul mates? It seems highly implausible there is that one person, your person, meant only for you. My sister, of course, would tell me I’m dead wrong and that the very inn we own calls to such lovers. So, what if she did find her own unlikely happily ever after here with one of the most famous men alive?

Eight years ago, the older and irresistible Kane Hudson rocked my world. He saw me as more than just a shy and awkward premed student. And somehow, he helped me to see myself too. He made me believe I was beautiful and that dreams were worth fighting for. He was a dream. Then, without warning, it all came to an end. He went off to England and I headed to medical school. My hope was to never see the man again. That was wishful thinking. Now we're both back in my hometown and, as luck would have it, we are both vying to become the next CEO of my family's blood plasma company.

I, Charlotte Valentine, am mostly of sound mind. Typically, I make really good choices. I went to college, never did drugs...I even brush and floss every day. That’s not to say I don’t make poor decisions - believe me, I do. They always seem to involve men - everything from gluing my eye shut to falling in love with my boss. Did I mention he was famous? Oh, Drake Foster, you beautiful creature. My sister told me not to accept the position as his personal assistant. Apparently, she thinks it’s emotionally unhealthy for me to work for the object of my desire. What does she know?

Oh my goodness! I love second chance romances and this is a great one plus it's a Christmas romance. I don't think I've ever read a romance that starts off at a funeral, and to have the heroine in a pink elf costume . . . well, I had to find out what that was all about.
Tristan broke Calista's heart 13 years ago and now that she's back in Aspen Lake working as an ER doctor it's going to be hard to keep her promise to never look at him again. Especially when their teenage niece asks for a traditional Christmas and keeps coming up with reasons they need to spend time together.
Tristan had his work cut out for him, as Calista had built up quite the wall surrounding her heart and she wasn't giving him the chance to hurt her again. I loved how Tristan was patient with Calista--he remembered what he'd said to her--and knew it was going to take some time to get her to simply not hate him anymore. I like how he was with his niece Quinn and loved when he followed through on the threat he made to his parents if they tampered with Calista's job at the hospital.
Calista is the best!! I'd love to have her as my doctor. She was so caring and listened when people talked to her. She'd worked hard to become a doctor and you could tell she loved her job. I loved her friendship with Jules and hope Jules gets her own story (hint, hint). I liked how much she cared about her sister (who needed to get her act together) and Quinn. I really liked that Calista didn't get back together with Tristan within the first half of the book--he needed to work for forgiveness.
Things I loved:
🩺 Super swoony
🩺 Forced Proximity
🩺 Second-chance romance
🩺 ER visits
🩺 Dual POV
🩺 Calista & Tristan's reconnaissance mission
🩺 Cameos of Reese and Josie
🩺 No 3rd act breakup!
I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator for Calista. I found I liked the narrator for Tristan better if I sped it up a little, especially when he did the female characters.
Great second chance romance

❤️What I love most❤️
❄️Calista wearing an elf costume to a funeral- I want to BE HER.
❄️Tristan's tattoo👀
❄️Quinn's scheming
❄️ER visits
❄️Kitten on chest pics (Seriously, guys, this is how it's done)
❄️Cameos from past favorites
💗and of course💗
Jules! I am SO ready for her story, Forgettable in Every Way, coming soon!🎉
As far as the narration... holy hot gravelly voice, but we will have to forgive the grown man for not being great at sounding like a little girl. The female narrator is perfect, and I think the sweet spot for both is to set the speed around 1.2 or 1.3.
Jennifer Peel is always a favorite and listening to her books makes every workday so much better.

This book is one of my very favorites. I love the story of Calista and Tristen. The holiday season is the perfect time to read this swoony romance. But it is also a great everyday book too. :) I love the banter and romance that Jennifer Peel gives her readers. Easy 5 star book.

The narrators are wonderful! This book is absolutely magical and I loved hearing the narrators add their own magic to it all! Seriously grab your mugs of hot cocoa and your cozy blanket, snuggle up and don't plan on emerging from your cocoon of happiness until you've experienced Calista and Tristan's story. Holy Swooniness!!! You'll probably be like me and have a permagrin when you finish.
Here are a few of my favorite things from this Delightful Book:
The Magic
Emergency Room Visits
An Old-Fashioned Christmas
The Flirting
Witty Banter
The Hope
The way Tristan looks at Calista
Calista's sense of humor (she's pretty funny)
The Magic (yeah, I know I put this twice, it's just true, it's magical)
The Haunting (ok, not like a ghost haunting)
The Healing
The Wuthering Heights references (swoon)
The kitty pictures *smirks*
Quinn, The Matchmaking Niece Extraordinaire
A Little Recon Mission
The Hugs
The Crusader (mulitple connotations for this one)
The Second Chance
ALLLLL of The Swoony Moments *Happy Sigh*
And a couple of my favorite quotes to whet your whistle:
~"Don't fall for her again," she warned. He'd never gotten up from the first time he fell for her.
~More and more, he was kicking himself for ever forgetting that all he ever wanted to do with his life was make Calista Monroe happy.
Yeah, you're going to love Tristan and possibly be unhappy with him for a little bit too. But don't worry, the love will overpower the unhappiness! And Calista, she's just the best! Oh my heavens, you might even shed a few tears as you learn more about her and her backstory and her just zest for life and her ability to persevere. Her humor seriously had me laughing. But there were definitely tears. Jennifer Peel sure knows how to write characters who will tug at your heartstrings! Get ready to have those heartstrings tugged at majorly by Quinn (their niece), Calista and Tristan.
I'm super excited for Jules story. She's a secondary character in this book and her story will be amazing! I was having fun trying to figure out her backstory a little more with this being my third time enjoying this book. I have lots of guesses but it's going to be amazing reading it and discovering it all!
And you'll love the cameos from previous books by this author (if you've read them, if not you'll be wanting to go back and read them)! The secondary characters will have you wishing for their books as well! Now excuse me as I go dream of a snowy white Christmas! ;-)
Content: PG-13. There are a handful of different mild swear words used throughout the book. There's some back story about Tristan's brother and him having an affair but it isn't graphic, just the knowledge that he was unfaithful. Lots of kisses, some mild and some more intense (the characters make out), some mild innuendos. No closed door/fade to black scenes, just kisses. Topic of the loss of a parent. Her sister Stella is having a fling with a guy so there is some talk about that but nothing graphic.
Happy Listening!!!
Merry Christmas To Jennifer Peel Fans!!! Love It!!
