Publisher's summary

Best-selling author Harley Humbug needs an escape.

From the current state of her own love life.

From her deadline she blew past weeks ago.

From Christmas, which is just around the corner, and the bad luck it usually brings with it.

When a snowstorm causes a road closure, she chalks it up to one more thing to go wrong.

Little does she know the detour will take her to a town she never knew existed and right into the path - and possible arms - of a man who might just be her real-life muse.

a story + a voice

Would have loved this to be longer, but part of the reason I even listened to it was because it was a shorter audio.

Good story!

Also, would have preferred a different male narrator; the voice didn't fit the character.

Cute & sweet holiday read

This is a beautifully written magical little gem of a story, which is sweet, heartfelt, and with witty banter which all leads to an addictive and all-consuming tale. I loved this short holiday novella. Erin Mallon & Jason Clarke do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality. They do more than giving their characters their voices, they fall into the roles and become the character.

What happened ??

What happened to the rest of the story?
I enjoyed the story overall, but the story is somehow incomplete. Narration was good. Felt that the story was incomplete.

Short love story

This was a quick audible listen, a love story of a woman who meets up with a guy. She’s a writer and is developing a story which becomes her own love story.
It was okay but some parts too smutty for my taste.

cute and quick!

This was cute but went quickly. If you're short in time, it's a nice little listen.
