Make the Season Bright

De: Ashley Herring Blake

Narrado por: Kristen DiMercurio

Two exes find themselves stuck at the same house for Christmas in this holiday romance by Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn't Date.

It's been five years since Charlotte Donovan was ditched at the altar by her ex-fiancée, and she’s doing more than okay. Sure, her single mother never checks in, but she has her strings ensemble, the Rosalind Quartet, and her life in New York is a dream come true. As the holidays draw near, her ensemble mate Sloane persuades Charlotte and the rest of the quartet to spend Christmas with her family in Colorado—it is much cozier and quieter than Manhattan, and it would guarantee more practice time for the quartet’s upcoming tour. But when Charlotte arrives, she discovers that Sloane’s sister Adele also brought a friend home—and that friend is none other than her ex, Brighton.

All Brighton Fairbrook wanted was to have the holliest, jolliest Christmas—and try to forget that her band kicked her out. But instead, she’s stuck pretending like she and her ex are strangers—which proves to be difficult when Sloane and Adele’s mom signs them all up for a series of Christmas dating events. Charlotte and Brighton are soon entrenched in horseback riding and cookie decorating, but Charlotte still won’t talk to her. Brighton can hardly blame her after what she did.

After a few days, however, things start to slip through. Memories. Music. The way they used to play together—Brighton on guitar, Charlotte on her violin—and it all feels painfully familiar. But it’s all in the past and nothing can melt the ice in their hearts...right?

Beautiful story!

I really love this book! This was my first read by this author and my first queer romance novel. I strongly identified with both of the main characters, and I absolutely loved Wes as well. I would definitely recommend this one.

Deep love and quirky friends

I enjoyed this book a lot. Good holiday romance where exes unexpectedly have to spend the holidays together. WLW hallmark edition. But better. A lot of side characters that keep the story fun.

Fun for the Holidays!

A fun, turn off your brain and enjoy type book! Great narration, lovely setting, and enjoyable plot!

A sapphic Christmas story

This is the hallmark story I never knew I needed. I’m not one for cheesy romcoms but this was a great story.

Casually Queer Christmas

This is a book that encapsulates if "right person, wrong time" got their second chance. I love it so much and it felt so healing to have a casually queer Christmas story.

Love this story!

I loved everything about this book! The characters, the story, all the feels! So good!

Amazing 🤩😍

I loved this book very much. Ashley does such a great job writing her books. The emotion put into each and every book she writes is utterly amazing and my love for her book has only grown with each new book. Although no book can replace Delilah Green Doesn't Care this book is definitely in my top favorites and must read again. This book will 100% be added to my most recommended books.

Kristan does an amazing job when narrating books. I love how she makes everyone sound distantly different and this book is just as good as the others with the emotion and care she puts into her narrations.

fun listen

a sweet story with very likable and relatable characters. I'll definitely be listening again and looking for more by this author.
