Christmas at Clove Cottage

De: DeAnna Kinney

Narrado por: Kelli Tager

Dahlia Dawson is a spunky young woman with a zest for life, but an illness threatens her dreams of a bright future. With her bucket list in hand, she sets out to spend Christmas at one of several Christmas cottages along the breathtaking Chestnut Lake.

Expecting the brisk mountain air, hot cups of coffee, and a roaring fire to be her only company, Dahlia’s dreams of a Christmas escape do not include a grumpy, stiff neighbor who seems to hate life...and Christmas itself.

Realizing her purpose for coming to Clove Cottage, Dahlia becomes determined, with the aid of a wise old caretaker and his crazy dog, to show the handsome Nixon Chambers the true meaning of a magical Christmas.

Christmas comes only once year, but Christmas miracles can last a lifetime.

Love this short!

Sometimes a quick listen is just what I need to keep me going, and DeAnna Kinney has it with this novella! Dahlia Dawson is terminally ill, and upon her diagnosis created a bucket list. One thing she wants to do is go away to a cabin alone for Christmas, and this is the time she does it. But is it all she thought it would be? She meets the cranky neighbor and his dog, and Nixon, the handsome man who comes by to help her. Even with those close by, things are not what she expects until she figures out exactly why she is there. This book has a wonderful message, loving characters and that feeling of warmth I love. It's my first listen by this author and I will be watching for more.

Kelli Tager finds her voice with this narration. I had not heard her before, but she fits in these characters so easily, it's like I am watching it unfold. I enjoyed her voices, her pace and look forward to more narrations by her.

all the feels

I love christmas stories. this one was short but sweet. I expected to end up broken hearted, but the story was so much more.. It did not feel like a story that was less than two hours. Totally unexpected but very welcome. This one was so sweet.

Short but sweet

What a great short story. I needed a HEA today at work to boost my spirits. This short story scratched my itch. If you need a story that just makes you happy, give this a chance. You won't regret it.

Christmas story!

This book could have been very morose as it centers on Dahlia who is dealing with a cancer diagnosis. But instead of dwelling on it too much, she is determined to live her life and get the most out of her short time. One of her desires was to spend Christmas in a quiet cottage somewhere remote. She found her cottage but it came with a grumpy neighbor who had rented the cottage to hide from Christmas. I loved the bit of the supernatural at the end.
Enjoyable story with excellent narration.
I was given this review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
