Christmas at Valentine Inn

De: Jennifer Peel

Narrado por: Stefanie Kay

With a name like Isabelle Valentine, one would think I was destined to find true love and believe in the ridiculous notion of soul mates. Don’t get me wrong: I’m all about love. I even own an inn with my sister where each room is named after our favorite romantic couples. But soul mates? It seems highly implausible there is that one person, your person, meant only for you. My sister, of course, would tell me I’m dead wrong and that the very inn we own calls to such lovers. So, what if she did find her own unlikely happily ever after here with one of the most famous men alive? That doesn’t mean I’m meant for such a destiny.

But what happens when the implausible happens? When a man I thought I would never see again walks into my inn. The man who 20 years ago administered the kiss of all kisses. The kind of kiss that whispered to my soul and told me things I wasn’t ready to hear. But this time Dr. Patrick Abbott isn’t alone—he comes with two beautiful kids and the memory of his dead wife, who seems to haunt all their lives. So much so, Patrick would just as soon skip Christmas. At least that’s his plan until he finds himself playing hero trying to help me save my sister’s secret Christmas Eve wedding. By hero, I mean pretending it’s our wedding. Yep, you heard that right. Now we find ourselves having to act as if we are the jolliest couple around, making the season bright. But somehow the pretend feels all too real. Perhaps in all the chaos, there is room for my own Christmas dreams to come true. Maybe, just maybe, I was wrong about soul mates? Either way, I’m hanging up more mistletoe. Because hello, the man can kiss.

I absolutely loved everything about this book!

One of the best stories I have read! the narrator was one of the best I've heard!

Love a great rom com!

So cute! I hope this gets picked up as a movie! Such an adorable rom com story that has everything you want in a rom com.

So perfectly swoony

This author is a go to for me. Swoony romance? Check. Characters that pull you in and keep your soul attached? Check. Fun banter? Oh yeah. Izzy is adorable and I so wanted her to get some happy. And she does. It’s another fantastic book by one of my favorite authors. This narrator is also a favorite. She seriously does male leads perfectly. Like hello there Patrick. We all see you. Total win for me.

Swoony MMC

Loved this story of love after 40- and a second chance love at that. Patrick was one of the swooniest book boyfriends I’ve ever read. He and Isabelle have a beautiful story.

Started very slow!

This book started very slow, but I stuck with it and in the end it turned out to be cute. Very predictable ending, but a cute story nonetheless.
