Publisher's summary
From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a festive short romance about old flames and mistaken identities.
After a bad breakup, Nola wants nothing to do with Christmas, especially in her quaint hometown of Bright Harbor, Maine. Infuriatingly charming and cheery, Nola’s surroundings only worsen her sour mood.
To make matters worse, Caleb, the boy who broke her heart years ago, is all grown up and still living in town. While doing her best to avoid him, Nola bumps into the local mailman, who gives her a mysterious letter. And when she finds that the writer is a fellow Scrooge, she can’t help but feel her spirit lifting.
Nola writes back to her new pen pal—who, unbeknownst to Nola, is none other than Caleb. When Caleb gets a response hand delivered by the mailman, he’s intrigued by the mystery sender. A friendly correspondence develops—and quickly turns flirtatious.
Although Nola and Caleb claim they can’t stand each other, they can’t deny the simmering attraction that brought them together in the first place.
Can these nameless pen pals write their own love story—or will they be too caught up with the ghosts of their Christmases past to find a future together?

Story
Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

And I even offered to help decorate for their Christmas wedding despite the fact that was supposed to be my dream wedding. But when my sister cuts up my great-grandmother’s one-hundred-year-old wedding dress and turns it into a skank show, even though that was the dress I was going to wear on my wedding day? Well, this elf is torching down the North Pole.

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light. She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

It was supposed to be an innocent night, celebrating my brother’s birthday. Nothing was supposed to go wrong. We’d vowed to be on our best behavior after all.... But it only took one rowdy night with my brothers to flip my world upside down. One unlucky encounter saddled us with a family curse and the promise of doomed relationships. I laughed it off immediately. “Yeah, right,” I thought. “A love curse. Ha!” Boy, was I wrong.

Every Kringle in Kringletown loved Christmas a lot. But Cole Black on Whistler Lane, unfortunately did not. Cole was a recluse during the Kringle Christmas season. No one knew why, no one could quite give a reason. Martha said it was because he was alone and very single. Mae believed it was because he was never named the town Kringle. But to me, the reason is a storyline far too sad. For at the age of eighteen, he lost both mom and dad. Whatever the reason, his parents or being single, He spends Christmas in the dark, hating the cheery people of Kringle.

I was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce, when I saw him - my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar, all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes. On paper, it seemed like I had hit the jackpot. And if I wasn't fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him. But, I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in.

I don't normally ask a girl out, have her fail to recognize it's a date, and then give me a high five - as if I'm her wingman - and take off with someone else. No. Normally I'm the one taking the girl home, but with Stella, it's been one failed attempt after another and frankly, I'm done trying. But thanks to my best friend getting married in Hawaii right before the school year starts, I'm stuck on a tropical island.

No-sex, “enemies to lovers,” Christmas short story
Small-town, low-angst, no-sex, “enemies to lovers,” Christmas short story
Nola Bisley and Caleb Butler were high school sweethearts, an unspecified number of years ago. At the time, they both thought they had what it takes as a couple to go the distance and eventually marry. Unfortunately, Caleb’s view of their potential future was for the two of them to settle down where they grew up, in the fictional town of Bright Harbor, Maine, population 800. This, as it turned out, was not what Nola’s envisioned. Soon after graduation, she declared that she wanted to seek her fortune in New York City. Caleb couldn’t face the potential massive culture shock of moving from their backwater burg to one of the most massive cities in the world. But instead of talking to Nola about his provincial needs, and at least attempting a long-distance relationship, he decided unilaterally that it would be wrong for him to hold her back from her Big City dreams, and callously dumped her, in order to enable her to leave him behind without regret. Naturally enough, since Caleb broke her heart, Nola has strongly resented him all these years. But, unknown to Nola, Caleb broke his heart as well when he rejected her, and he has never ceased to lament the loss of the love of his life.
In the present day, Nola has just been dumped again, this time by her NYC boyfriend who, instead of offering her the marriage proposal she strongly expected, kicked her out of their shared apartment and out of his life. Because she had no place to live, and she is a freelance designer who can work remotely from any location, Nola decided to move back to Bright Harbor. She is currently staying in her childhood home, but it is a huge, gutted mess, because her parents are in the midst of renovating it. They have moved out of the house into a small cottage off the coast of Maine and have turned over the whole renovation project to her. This means her only close relative currently living in Bright Harbor is her Grandma Louise. If it were up to Nola, she would hardly leave the house for two main reasons: (1) She is determined to avoid Caleb at all costs because, even though her parents have lived in tiny Bright Harbor all these years, she has managed to never run into him when she came home for brief visits over the years. (2) In December, Bright Harbor goes all out for Christmas, and Nola is feeling anything but open to holiday cheer. But Grandma Louise puts paid to Nola’s plan to live in Grinch-like seclusion. She insists on dragging Nola out Christmas shopping and, just as Nola feared, she spots Caleb. But before he can see her, too, forcing her to actually speak to him, Nola hides behind a big trash can.
Caleb’s source of income is his father’s hardware store, where he worked all his life, and which he inherited when his father died. It is centrally located on the main street of town, and the highly efficient local grapevine has made him well aware that Nola is back in town for a protracted stay. His conscience has been nagging him that he owes her a long-overdue apology but, so far, he has been unable to bring himself to the sticking point. As a result, guilt and dread have dragged down his mood, to the point that all of the local Christmas jollity scrapes on his nerves. One day, while sitting behind the counter in his store and listening to the Christmas carols relentlessly blasting outside his door, he impulsively writes a letter addressed to “Christmas,” in which he describes everything he dislikes about it. He signs the letter, “Resting Scrooge Face,” then tosses it into the trash. Unknown to Caleb, the town’s busybody mailman, seventy-year-old Arden, retrieves Caleb’s letter from the bin where he threw it, places it in a Christmassy, green envelope, and delivers the letter to Nola. She is so delighted with the fact that the sentiments of her anonymous pen pal exactly echo her own, that she writes a reply on fancy, gold stationary, and gives it to Arden to deliver to RSF. And thus begins a fun, anonymous correspondence between the two exes.
This romantic comedy is written as partly, typical, on-stage dialogue and action, and partly as letters—actual, hand-written letters, not texts or emails, which has almost never been used as a plot device in epistolary romance novels since the dawn of the email and texting eras. This is a short story rather than a complete novel, but the author does full justice to its homage to the 1998 Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie, “You’ve Got Mail.” (Which is, by the way, a remake of the 1940 movie with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, “Shop around the Corner,” which had another remake in 1949 with Judy Garland and Van Johnson, “In the Good Old Summertime.”) The premise of this popular, “enemies to lovers” plot is that the two protagonists can’t stand each other in person, but they fall in love via an anonymous correspondence. Neither protagonist is aware, until the very end of the story, that their beloved pen pal and their obnoxious enemy is one and the same.
For humor, this romantic comedy relies on multiple instances of slapstick. The main conflict keeping Nola and Caleb apart is that each behaves in a childishly antagonistic manner that causes them to heartily dislike each other, until they finally decide, at the very end of the story, to have a mature, honest, vulnerable conversation with each other that allows them to clear up their past, disastrous misunderstanding and move forward into the HEA that is an expected, crucial trope of the romance genre.
I gained access to this story through the Amazon Prime Reading Library. It was offered to me simultaneously in both Kindle and Audiobook format, via Whispersync. The audiobook version is narrated by two talented, voice actors, Carly Robins and Aaron Shedlock. They do an excellent job bringing this story to life.
Finally, there is no sex in this Hallmark-style, small-town romance, only a mild, passion-free kiss at the very end. There is also no cussing, no drinking and no smoking. Romance fans looking for a low-angst, G-rated, Christmas romance will very likely enjoy this pleasant, lightly entertaining story.

Cute little Christmas romance
Aaron Sherlock and Carly Robins did an excellent job narrating this novella by Meghan Quinn. It is like a Hallmark movie mated with Shop Around the Corner (the original You've Got Mail). It doesn't have the romance scenes we usually see from a Quinn book; this is really a cute, clean, anonymous letters type story. Not my favorite ever, but there was also nothing wrong with it!

Fun holiday novella
Such a fun and quick read. Caleb and Nola aren’t feeling the Christmas spirit. When someone plays a little matchmaker in the form of a nameless pen pal, they soon realize their feelings for one another are still strong . Carly Robins and Aaron Sherlock did a great job portraying these characters.

Excellent!
This Christmas story actually had the season as a near constant backdrop. I’ve listened to a lot of Christmas books that giving a passing nod to the season, but really could have taken place anytime. Since I use the stories to try to boost that Christmas feeling, I’m often disappointed. Not with this story. It’s quick, but great! No spice, but very sweet. I usually don’t like squeaky clean books, but this one was enjoyable. Narrated were perfect!

So cute
I live MQ and Aaron and Carly rocked it as usual. A great, quick listen to start off Dec.
It has all the aspects you’d expect from a MQ novel. Sweet, funny, and heart warming.

Hilarious & Sweet Holiday Romance
I love Meghan Quinn’s writing, so this was a one-click audio for me. Resting Scrooge Face is a clever, hilarious, cheeky second-chance romance! The premise was sweet, the romance is cute AF, and the narration is perfection! Aaron Shedlock and Carly Robins bring this novella to life with sweet holiday charm and lighthearted fun! This is a Christmas must-listen!
