Publisher's summary

I stared into my coffee, because looking at anything else in the Christmas exploded café only stomped on my already fragile, bleeding, bruised, and likely to stop beating at any moment, heart.

Georgina Bishop has shared several mistletoe-induced kisses with Sean Wallace over the years, but when a promise of forever turns into the most humiliating moment of her life, Georgina is left tending her broken heart by telling her tales of woe to an old friend. When the story is done, she can't help but wonder if this Christmas might be the best yet. She doesn't need mistletoe and mystery after all. What she needs is good, old-fashioned romance...and a friend who is willing to deliver.

This Christmas-inspired romance is just the right size for a quick bite of sweet, clean holiday feels!

Short and Sweet

This a a short and sweet but full story. I really liked the premise of it and while it seems like insta love it really isn't. The narration is done well and it was a nice quick companion to my day,

A Very Sweet Christmas Romance

I enjoyed this Christmas novella. The story was sweet and heartwarming. The characters were delightful. A quick, sappy romance that caused me to sigh with contentment at the story's end. Marnie Karger's narration was great and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Lovely!

Georgina and Owen are closing up early tonight on Christmas Eve at the cafe that her sister owns, but they always take time for each other. They could be considered best friends since there isn't anything they don't share with each other. Owen has comforted Georgina more times than she can count and she tells him everything about her crush on Sean. Four years ago, Georgina and her parents went to a Christmas party, the corporate work parties that the children are dragged to and left to their own devices. Georgie didn't want to mingle, start conversations that were ridiculous because they had nothing in common or just sit around eating snacks from the refreshment table. What she never expected was to meet a boy who would prove to be a distraction and a possible love of her life. Sean comes to these parties with his parents each Christmas, and he and Georgina share some special times and kisses. She has her expectations and hopes for what could come of this, but she and Sean have never talked about it and she's left hanging. Owen silently listens and gives her his support and advice, but inside he's silently hoping that she'll notice him and not just as her friend. This is a sweet Christmas story of self-discovery and coming to understand that what you really want is standing right before you. It left me with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. Marnie Karger does a wonderful job with her dynamic voice, laced with emotion, and a perfect pace throughout.

Christmas

Short and sweet Christmas romance. The story is very clean, no sex or violence. While listening to the story, I felt it would make a good Hallmark movie. The story was well written, and enjoyable.

Cute Christmas Romance

Cute and clean Christmas romance. This story has all the earmarks of a sweet Christmas movie that I would love to watch. Sweet, sappy and mostly predictable. I enjoyed the narrator. She did a great job making the story just that much more enjoyable.

No sex, language or violence

Christmas meet ups.

Yes. This is a very sweet, clean Christmas romance novella. Teenage feels. Secret kisses. Two people that meet only once a year at their parents Christmas party. They have feelings, but life gets in the way to meet any more than that. How does it all end?
The narrator was a delight to listen to. Nice performance.

sweet listen

A sweet short story about looking at what's right in front of you. I liked a build up, but then felt a little cheated, when it crushed.
The narrator did a good job with this story.
