About this listen

When delightfully disheveled detective novelist Mae Robards receives a message from her parents that they’re going to close the x-country ski center in New Hampshire, she decides to pack up her life in LA and move home to help keep the family business afloat. Mae wonders if she’s making a terrible mistake as she starts the December drive cross country with her dog Scarpetta. Her latest novel is already past due and there’s a new editor who dislikes Mae’s unconventional style of writing. Mae is fully aware of how like the plot of a Christmas movie the current circumstances of her life seem to be and can’t help but laugh when her Jeep breaks down and a handsome stranger shows up with a tow. Could this be a Christmas romance? (Why yes, yes it is!) With the help of her friends, family, and a little spirit of the season, can Mae make it all work or has she taken on more than she can handle in The Holiday Breakdown?!

Friendship goals!

Leah has a lovely voice. I am a fan of RBW and could really hear her natural tone reading her book. The story, even if somewhat predictable (sorry!) was very clever in terms of the guy following the girl, but maybe not really, but oh yeah there it is. So entertaining. I loved the support of true friends across the miles the most. Their encouragement warmed my heart and made me want to reach out to my friends! I would love to read another book by Leah.

Cozy Christmas Story

I love Leah Bonnema on the Were You Raised By Wolves podcast, and it was so fun to hear her reading this story. There is so much of her in the main character, Mae. My favorite character in the story, though, is the dog, Scarpetta. She is hilariously expressive without ever saying a word.

I listened to this whole story in a day. It was such a lovely way to escape from reality for a bit. It is not a genre I would have selected on my own were it not for my appreciation of the author, but it was definitely the perfect story for the season.

Loved!!! ❤️💚🤍

I loved this story and author / performer. It's a heart warming funny romcom without being corny. I breezed through this because there were no lulls and the narrator is great! Highly recommend!!

Holiday romance

Has all the makings of a great holiday romance book, with lots of humor thrown in for good measure! Love the main character, Mae, and can’t wait to read more of her adventures!
