A Cold Creek Christmas Story

De: RaeAnne Thayne

Narrado por: Celeste Ciulla

Celeste Nichols has always preferred to keep to herself in her hometown of Pine Gulch, Idaho...until she becomes an instant celebrity! When one of her children's stories becomes a major success, she's suddenly the talk of the town. Celeste should be gloriously happy...but something, someone, special is still missing from her life. Could the return of her childhood crush be the answer?

Flynn Delaney has moved back home for his daughter's sake. Yet all the millionaire's resources can't help the little girl heal from the tragic loss of her mother. Shy librarian Celeste and her stories do hold some indefinable magic, though. Flynn came home looking for support - can he find that, and true love, in the one who got away?

Had to speed up the story because of the narration

Would you be willing to try another one of Celeste Ciulla’s performances?

I didn't like the narrator's performance of this book. She had odd pauses and "upspeak" that was distracting to me. I sped up the playback speed to 1.5 time normal so that it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Another poor narration

Too many pauses in the wrong places. Destroys the story with inflections either missing entirely or in the wrong places.

Very Enjoyable

Two very sweet stories, that brought smiles and joy into my days preparing for Christmas!

Great story

Great story for the Christmas season! I enjoyed it very much!
I hope others have the chance to read it!!

Christmas X 2

My copy included Christmas in Cold Creek as well. I absolutely loved both stories. They both have heartache and happiness along with Christmas Magic. Some of the characters make appearances in both stories but they can be read in any order.

Romance

A feel good romance that was just not for me. Not bad characters, but, I kept waiting for the end and then... there is a second book I did not go onto.

Awful narrator!

What a fake voice Celeste Ciulla has! I listened to the book, and all the while thought never again do I want to listen to her voice!

Feel good books

Just makes you want to curl up and read all day. Great stories that are just good reads.

Great story. Horrible narration

Love the story, read the book, but the narrator is horrible. She is difficult to listen to the point that I had to stop listening to it

Narrator needs to take less breaks

The stories were good- perhaps a bit sappy, but that's OK. The reader or editor of the recording need to MOVE ALONG! She took a breath and a break after every sentence! I had to put the speed on 1.25 just to keep my attention. Every space between sentences I kept thinking, "...yes...and...get on with it already!"
