From the New York Times best-selling author of The Proposal and a "rising star in the romance genre" (Entertainment Weekly) comes a dazzling new novel about a spontaneous holiday vacation that turns into an unforgettable romance.

Vivian Forest has been out of the country a grand total of one time, so when she gets the chance to tag along on her daughter Maddie’s work trip to England to style a royal family member, she can’t refuse. She’s excited to spend the holidays taking in the magnificent British sights, but what she doesn’t expect is to become instantly attracted to a certain private secretary, his charming accent, and unyielding formality.

Malcolm Hudson has worked for the Queen for years and has never given a personal, private tour - until now. He is intrigued by Vivian the moment he meets her and finds himself making excuses just to spend time with her. When flirtatious banter turns into a kiss under the mistletoe, things snowball into a full-on fling.

Despite a ticking timer on their holiday romance, they are completely fine with ending their short, steamy affair come New Year’s Day...or are they?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I guess when I got this title I missed that it had diverse characters. These characters were so relatable especially since I grew up in Northern California. The "meet cute" set-up, the boy/girl of a certain age, their conflicts and resolutions, the royals thrown in for fun. it all worked.

The downside for me was that the narrator's British accents weren't good and distracted from the wonderful story. Getting the accents right is so integral to having the full story-telling experience especially given the story's locale. My hope is that the narrator learns how to better manage accents in her future projects.

Witty, fun romance with flair

I normally like these books narrated by Janina Edwards. However the narration really pulled me out of it with a TERRIBLE British accent.

Usual great narrator, BAD British accent

This is the fourth book in the Wedding Date series but could definitely be read as a stand-alone.  (But do yourself a favor and read all the stories.).  Maddie (from book 3) gets the opportunity to style the Duchess for Christmas week and takes her mom with her for a much needed vacation.  Vivian is thrilled to accompany her daughter on this once in a lifetime trip.  She never expects to fall for a vacation romance.  This story blends princess fantasies, with real single-mom  coping techniques, and mid-life career complications to romance. 

Jasmine Guillory can mix humor and romance in such a fun and engaging way.  She is a automatic buy author for me now. 

Love the trip abroad

I love Jasmine Guillory’s writing. Her lead characters are strong, independent women who are down to earth and very relatable. I love that the book is written from both main character’s perspectives with all the same insecurities and mental dialogue we all have when starting a new relationship. This story with the more mature point of view really hit home for me and was so sweet. Great read!

May be my favorite Wedding Date book yet

This is a sweet, light read. I did not love the narrator which may have been some of the problem.

Very light, Hallmark Christmas movie if a book

Sex and love after 50!! Great story!! I just love these books. I have listened to all of this authors books. The narrators British accent is definitely lacking. Also, the same narrator for every book has ALL the characters sounding the same... definitely needs a change up! but the storyline was GREAT!!

LOVED THIS

Jasmine to me this book is your best work yet. I loved that it was sort of a continuation of The proposal, the wedding date I loved them all. Thank you for letting us know it’s never to late to fall in love 😍👍🏾❤️

Excellent

I really enjoyed this book! I’m not a romance reader and surprised myself at how caught up I became in the characters. I truly appreciate mature romance—-thank you!!!! I enjoyed this book so much, I believe I will include it in my Christmas reads in years to come.

Surprised Myself

Loved it!
