About this listen

For fans of Hallmark Christmas movies comes a standalone small-town holiday love story about following both your heart and your dreams.

It’s Christmas in Mapleton!

Laney McGregor’s previous holiday season ended in disaster. Add to that her recent Election Day loss, and her spirits are decidedly un-bright. She’s determined to spend a quiet Christmas at home in Mapleton, helping out on her family’s tree farm when needed but mostly keeping to herself. That is, until a job opportunity sweeter than sugar plums gets dangled in front of her … if only she’ll participate in a sequence of Christmas clichés.

Ford Marshall has made his list and checked it twice, and he’s sure of one thing. He’s been half in love with Laney since he knew being in love was a thing to be, but he’s always acted like a fool where she’s concerned. Now, though, when Laney finds herself running McGregor Tree Farm solo, Ford gladly steps up to be her right hand elf.

As the pair participates in the Merry Mapleton festivities, an unexpected holiday romance is born. But when personal insecurities and professional developments are brought to light, Ford and Laney’s new relationship is put to the test. Can they learn from past mistakes, let their guards down, and come together to make theirs a Christmas love story that’ll last the whole year long … and beyond?

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½👩‍⚖️🌲🌲🎄🎄

My thoughts: 📱27% 2:22:49 Chapter 13 Laney - Ford! I was so excited to discover he made it to MC status, but the story is just okay.

This story wasn't my favorite but it was enjoyable for what it was, a knockoff Hallmark Movie by its own claims, although there is more substance than you'll find in last year's lineup. I'm glad Ford found his other half and I'm hoping for more from this series, maybe the coach us next.

Recommend to others: Yes, this is definitely a Stonebrook-type community that any BSC fan would love.

Another Hallmark-like book but unlikable FCM

Not may favorite. I liked that it was wholesome/ clean and sprinkled with humorous moments but I just could not embrace the FMC. She was too arrogant, too selfish. I envision that Candice B Hallmark actress olaying Laney's part and it soured me even more. It wasn't bad, it just could have bern better.
