A Billion Christmas Wishes

Christmas Cove Book 1

De: Ellie Hayes

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Billionaire, Nick Preston, is used to getting whatever he wants. When his father orders him to acquire a new property, Nick expects it to be a quick business venture. What he doesn’t expect is a hurricane, a Christmas town, and a beautiful hotel owner, who refuses to sell. To make matters worse, Nick loathes Christmas and he’s stuck in a place that celebrates it all year-round.

After obtaining her bachelor’s in hotel management, Amelia Hughes plans to run the family hotel in Christmas Cove, Florida with her grandmother. But when Amelia discovers that they owe thousands in property taxes, she’s heartbroken at the thought of losing everything.

When Amelia meets Nick, the Christmas Scrooge in an Armani suit, she’s determined to protect her business from his holiday-hating-money-grubbing hands. And Nick finds that keeping his distance from the charming Amelia becomes more difficult with each heated encounter.

Because the more they fight, the stronger their attraction grows, and despite their differences, Amelia yearns to show Nick the true meaning of Christmas and hopefully save her hotel in the process.
That is, if they don’t strangle each other with the garland first…

Super sweet!

I enjoyed the story very much. Virtual voice can never replace human voice actors but it’s better than listening to Alexa read. The story was good but I think Nick’s father capitulated unrealistically at the end and it felt a bit rushed. I listened this for a reading challenge and I’m not sorry that I did.

A Little Christmas Tale

Sometimes it's fun to enjoy a Christmas story in the heat of summer. I love the little Florida town. Amelia is strong and determined. She does have great marketing ideas. Nick is conflicted pretty much throughout the story trying to balance new feelings with strong business minded ideas. This was a sweet read with a great ending. #CMCon26
