About this listen
A book club, swirling snowfalls of love, and a cup of hot chocolate.
Grant Calhoun is working around the clock in his laboratory in Wilder River to create the perfect hair product. He doesn’t have time for fiction reading, even though it’s always been his favorite pastime. If he doesn’t finish the formula before Christmas, his beloved company—and his grandfather’s legacy—could go down in flames.
Roxanna Reid needs to join a book club to satisfy a professor’s whim before she can get her master’s degree started. Lucky for her, the perfect book club, Twelve Slays of Christmas, just launched at The Hot Chocolate Shop in Wilder River, the small town where she’s temporarily working. Unlucky for her—she can’t join it.
Unless Grant Calhoun joins.
Meanwhile, Roxanna is harboring a secret, one that makes her Grant’s biggest enemy—and neither of them knows it.
Yet.
All books in the Christmas House Romance series are clean, standalone novels by USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Griffith. They all feature Christmas traditions, family love, and swoonworthy and flutter-filled kisses. They're perfect holiday escapes any time of year.

Author’s Note: All books in this series of clean Christmas romances celebrate family, tradition, Christmas, belief, and love.
They are all standalone romances, but they do connect in the small town world and can be best enjoyed in a “loop.” Book 1 leads to book 2, and so on, and at the end, book 10 loops back to book 1, with recurring characters.
In other words, a reader can start with any book, read the subsequent book, and then complete the loop.

It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks. When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops.

Story
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.

Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. 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.

Nothing about me was pretty. I had frizzy brown hair, I was too short, and the left side of my Face leaned so far to the left I could hardly see out of my left eye—like in those old cartoons when the characters are smacked with an anvil. Except mine never bounced back to normal. Yes, my Face, with a capital F, had its own name. No one would ever confuse Magnolia Holland with a supermodel—though she gets plenty of stares when she's in public. After years of homeschool to avoid bullying and ridicule from peers and strangers, Magnolia decides to take the plunge and enroll in Graceland High...

Enjoyed the Story
I enjoyed this story. I read it out of order and it definitely made me want to read the others in the series. I wasn't thrilled with virtual voice. It was so mechanical. I tried speeding it up and was able to listen to it. However it would have been so much better with real narration.
