The Sweet Escape

De: Nicole Pyland

Narrado por: Carolyn Eve

This is book #4 in the Holiday Series.

Eleanor Enger met someone special and thought they might have a chance at being more than friends of friends, but then Carmen McClain showed up to a weekend away with those friends with a date attached to her hip, and Ellie knew she’d lost her shot. When her little brother is kicked out of their parents’ house, Eleanor finds herself acting as parent and sorting through his problems while trying to deal with her own.

Carmen McClain just opened a bakery with her two best friends and had planned on having some one-night fun and maybe a casual relationship or two because she didn’t have time for anything serious while being so focused on the business. When her best friend’s new girlfriend came with a lot of close friends as a package, Carmen began spending more time with one of them and started thinking that casual might not be what she wanted after all.

Eleanor’s crush turned into something more, and Carmen realized she didn’t want to be just friends right around the time of her birthday, which happened to be on Halloween, while her holiday-obsessed parents are having a special birthday event for their daughter that they do every year. Watch Eleanor and Carmen fall in love over cupcakes, coffee, and a haunted house.

Sweet & Savory Story of LOVE

I encourage you to go on the sweet escape of this wonderful story about Carmen & Ellie as they navigate life’s road on the way finding love. Despite feeling that timing wasn’t the best for either of them for finding the “forever love” their friends surround them with, Carmen & Ellie still find occasions to be together and learn they are meant to be with each other. This enlightenment isn’t done with grand gestures but with meaningful moments of two people falling in love. Carolyn Eve does an outstanding job of capturing the essence of Carmen & Ellie (actually all of Nicole's characters) and the haunted house chapter is laugh out loud perfection!
Nicole Pyland has created another wonderful story with the fourth book in the Holiday Series. You will enjoy going on this journey to love that also includes a cupcake or two. :)

Love

I just love these stories so much. I work at night and don’t have a chance to actually read this amazing books. So getting a chance to listen to these stories by Nicole Pyland is just amazing. The stories are just perfect. Even though I know how the stories will some what end, I can never get enough. The journey to the ending always has me involved. Carolyn Eve is just wonderful at brining the story together. I hope the next one is also available on audio ❤️

“Warning: highly recommended book!”

First I have to say all the books in the holiday series have been awesome but Ellie and Carmen’s story has been my favorite so far. Now I’m just going to be honest about the real reason why I needed this audiobook… Haunted House Chapter. I really needed to hear how it turned out... It didn’t disappoint. I totally feel Ellie here. Props to Carolyn Eve for pulling that off. She does an amazing job at bringing all the characters to life! If you’re looking for a story with a little angst, some family drama, cupcakes, spice, humor, and of course Halloween fun… this is your book!

The sweetest escape!

When you listen to a book you have already read you have doubts. It’s not going to be like what I had in my head. I’m just not going to like it! I was pleasantly surprised, all of these thoughts and feelings were squashed! Carolyn Eve did a fantastic job!!! I never realized how funny, I mean I knew it was funny, but hearing someone read about waving a big purple dildo around hilarious, fantastic! This was an audible I was not disappointed in! Great job Carolyn Eve!!! Great Job Nicole Pyland!!!

Halloween Celebration

Eleanor Enger met Carmen McClain when London found London again on July Fourth. She thinks she is special but Carmen brings a plus one to a weekend with the group. Their trip from strangers to friends to live is a sweet treat. Great series.

The Sweet Escape

Book 4 of the Holiday series, and they just keep getting better! I might've said that in one of my earlier reviews, but it still rings true.

Carmen and Eleanor met in Aria and London's story. How we left them was not good because Carmen brought a date to their "friends" outing, and Ellie was crushed. The turnaround in this book was worth the wait! The longing, the pining, the chemistry ... all💥🔥❤️‍🔥

The narration was pretty awesome too
