About this listen

When wealthy, hard-driving corporate genius Jason Wilding reluctantly takes a break from his business and his husband-hunting girlfriends for a Christmas visit to his hometown in Abernathy, Kentucky, he has no idea what his physician brother, David, has in store for him. It seems that Amy Thompkins, a whimsical young widow with definite artistic talent, has captured David's heart, but courting her with a demanding baby in tow has been difficult. In order to pursue her, he persuades Jason to move into her home and take care of her spoiled but adorable son, Max, for a week.

For a fiercely efficient CEO, it's an impossible scene: a falling-down old house; buckets on the dining-room floor to catch the rain; a widow living on next to nothing, with no marketable skills. But Amy's joy for life, her love for her son, and her sparkling humor are irresistible - and tiny Max adores Jason beyond reason. Soon, Jason sees Amy and her future as a prime target for his strategic planning. Importing his private chef to prepare the little one's food and buying a baby store so that his mother can get real bargains are just the beginning. Because enigmatic Jason is thawing - the tender feelings and longing he has buried for years are begging to be heard.

Mutual attraction is glowing bright, but what to do about David? Once again, Jude Deveraux's deft hand and loving vision conjure up a novel full of surprises and delights, in a story that will warm all our hearts and make us believe in the power of miracles, large and small. It's a tale for all seasons, and a love story to remember always.

Who doesn't want a handsome billionaire?

As usual Jude does not disappoint.
This is a fun, quirky and sometimes unbelievable romance. The characters, setting and story line make you want to move to the little town of Abernathy.

it appears as if everything can't be fixed with money, but it is fun trying, or at least reading about trying.

Thank you Jude for another great read.

Good Story

Promising yet falls a little weak at the end. Not fond of this narrator prefer female narrator voices.

the narrator

The narrator was easy to listen to.
I have stopped listening to some books because the narrator got on my nerves.
Not so with this audio book.

Definitely worth the listen!

Entertaining story and good humor, the narrator was a great choice and brought life to all the characters. I laughed out loud several times and am happy to have this remain in my library for a rainy day re-read.

Love it

This is an easy listen. Great story even if a little predictable. Now I want to hear about Max as a grown up!

Slow but good ending

This started out very slow. I considered stopping several times. But about half way thru it picked up and the last few chapters turned it around.

Not new

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I wish Audible would identify the original publication date of books. This was published over10 yrs ago and I was expecting a new book.
