About this listen
My life could have been ripped straight from a Hallmark movie.
My name is Caroline "Candy" Cane, I own a country inn, date a man who runs a Christmas tree farm, and my mom's peppermint fudge wins first place at the Reindeer Corners' festival every year. Basically, I'm living every romance-loving girlie's small town dream.
Until a last minute trip to New York City leads to catching my boyfriend banging a Rockette (in full elf costume).
So, when I'm offered a chance to star in a hospitality-themed reality show, I jump at the chance to serve hot cocoa in roller skates on national television.
The only problem? The smoking hot, broody, perfectly bossy producer, Leo...
He's everything I've ever wanted in a man, but he's also my new boss and completely off-limits.
And that's before we realize our lives--and our pasts--are more intimately intertwined than we could have imagined.
Do I dare make holiday magic with the one man I now know I should never kiss under the mistletoe?

I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.

They do not include: (1) Falling for Miles, Bea’s grumpy, loaded and unreasonably gorgeous dad (2) Miles peeling my top off (and his own) when Bea vomits all over us (3) Accidentally telling him to ‘make better use of me' over champagne Christmas is not going to plan.

In truth, it probably didn’t help that I showed up dressed like an elf but that’s a story for another time. Our start was rocky at best which is why it’s so frustrating that I can’t stop thinking about his sexy British accent. Or the way his chest and arms fill out his suit. Or his perfect hair with that single streak of grey at the front.

Thanks to my needy pet rat, I’m banned from working at all Florida theme parks. So what’s a person to do? Get a job as a mascot for a local hockey team, of course. I didn’t expect to get pushed into a pool on my first day by the grouchiest, hottest player on the team. Nor could I have imagined that we’d get locked into an evacuated building together and share an angry kiss that would get caught on video. Or that said video would go viral, sending ticket sales for our games through the roof.

A woman does her very best to avoid at least one of the following people in her life: an annoying coworker, her brother’s best friend, and her first kiss. Unfortunately, for me, all three happen to be the same person—Brandon Cassidy. I’ve done my best to avoid the man, even if it means working in the ladies’ room whenever he visits the main office. Sadly, my days of hiding are coming to an end because I’ve been assigned to assist Brandon through the end of the year. The holiday season is already hard for me, but this . . . this is just the icing on the fruitcake that is my life.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Or his perfect hair with that single streak of grey at the front.

Great holiday romcom
I truly enjoyed this holiday romcom from Lili Valente. Tons of heart, tons of heat, and a really cute and funny story to put you in the holiday spirit.
Candy gets out of her holiday-themed hometown after having her heart broken, and finds herself in a reality tv wonderland with her cousin's ex, Leo. Leo can't help but fall in love with Candy, who is so genuine it melts his Scroogy heart! It's a Hallmark romcom with spark, and really satisfies the holiday craving!
Narration by Sebastian York and Lili Valente is spot on. Sebastian is a perfect grump-in-love, and Lili captures all of the delight of the season.

The Holiday Games
I absolutely loved this story, it is written so well that you feel you're there with Leo and Candy. The narration is excellent. Lili not only penned a beautiful story about Caroline, aka Candy, but she performed it perfectly, and Sebastian York was perfect for the part of Leo.
I loved everything about this story, the instant attraction, the incredible chemistry as well as the setting.
The story takes place a couple of weeks before Christmas in New York where Leo is busy filming a reality TV show. Having just had to let go of one of the contestants he needs someone to take their place and spotting Candy diving into a plastic igloo he’s immediately intrigued and follows her inside.
From their first exchange you could tell there was something between these two and what follows is a fun and enjoyable story full of great chemistry, witty dialogue as well as a losing battle not to give in to what they feel for each other.
No spoilers from me except to say that this is my all-time favourite Christmas story, Candy is my all-time favourite Christmas heroine.
I don’t want to give spoilers, but I will say I loved this swoony, heartwarming story full of engaging dialogue and lovely characters. Watch out for Greg the Devil cat you’ll fall in love with him just as I did.
Even if you are the sort of person who doesn’t like Christmas-themed stories, you won’t be able to resist this one.

Holiday romance
This is a fun holiday story. Caroline "Candy" Cane leaves her small Vermont Christmas themed town to go to New York City for a hotel convention. She ends up on a hotel reality show produced by Leo. There's so many conflicts and reasons why they shouldn't fall for each other. I enjoyed listening to Sebastian York and Lili Valente narrate. This is perfect for anytime of the year.

Cute Holiday Story
This story is the perfect little holiday nugget. The narration on this is superb!!
Caroline “Candy” Cane, part owner of the inn in a town called Reindeer Corner in Vermont. She heads into NYC for a Christmas hospitality conference. It was a trip her bestie Kayla was supposed to take but Kayla knows that Candy misses big city life.
As she is on the floor of the exposition, oddly enough she runs into her boyfriend Chris and his Rockette dancer side piece. Needless to say, they break up and Candy is left wondering why she didn’t see this earlier. During the run in with her ex, she is noticed by Leo, a reality TV show director. Leo invites her to audition for the holiday themed show his is currently casting for.
She cast on the show and Leo instantly falls for Candy and her amazing attitude and her beauty. Kay what he didn’t need right now. Little does Leo know, Candy has a direct connection to his past. The situations that unravel from there are fun and light including Greg the devil cat.
There is light spice in this - just the right amount for this length of story. This book sets the right tone for the upcoming holidays. The banter is quick and the MMC is very sweet and thoughtful of Candy’s needs. The side characters development is great and the little town of Reindeer Corner sounds delightful!

Love, drama and forever
I loved this forbidden, quasi boss-employee, love at first site, double pining, reverse Hallmark holiday romance. It had the perfect mix of fun, humor, love, real life issues, spice, family drama, holiday goodness, and a sassy jerk of a cat. Leo and Caroline are both intense, strong and passionate characters who have flaws, but are really just trying to do their best as messy humans. I smiled, swooned and laughed the entire time I read this book. Leo is the creator and producer of Innkeeping with You: Holiday Games Edition, a tasteful reality show. He needs it to be a success so he can stop writing for the soul numbing reality show he currently works for. Caroline lives in Reindeer Corners, Vermont and runs the Reindeer Corners Inn with her best friend. She is visiting NYC to go to the Annual Hotelier’s Conference and Trade Show hoping it will inspire her to love her life again. When she catches Chris, her Christmas-tree-farming boyfriend cheating on her, she decides to have an adventure by joining Leo’s reality show. There is instant attraction and chemistry when Leo and Caroline meet, but there is the complication of him being her sort of boss as well as a strange intersection of their lives that should make dating impossible. But feelings - oh the feelings. They are big and messy and hot me right in the feels. This heartwarming story was well written and included engaging dialogue, three dimensional characters, and a swoony and heartwarming storyline.
Sebastian York and Lili Valente did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. I love listening to Lili narrate her own story.
