A Hero's Christmas Hope

Holidays in Heart Falls, Book 3

De: Vivian Arend

Narrado por: Tatiana Sokolov

This hero needs a holiday miracle or two - and she’s just the one to deliver.

A stand-alone holiday story from New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.

Single father Ryan Zhao didn’t expect a ghost from his past to literally slide back into his life. His long-time friendship with Madison Joy is a pure, sweet memory, and with the holidays fast approaching, her surprise visit is perfect. Maddy’s a breath of fresh air, full of ideas and enthusiasm - and far too attractive to a lonely man like him. Best friends to lovers might be tempting, but it’s also dangerous, since she’s leaving after Christmas.

Madison thrives on fixing things. If Ryan insists she stick around and bother him and his adorable daughter for all of December, she’ll do what she can to make his life brighter. Which means reviving their ugly sweater tradition, organizing a not-so-traditional Nutcracker - and fighting to keep from falling in love with her former best friend and his motherless child.

She’s already given up her dreams once to help take care of her family. No matter how much he wants her to stay, Ryan refuses to ask her to do it again for him and his little girl. Can holiday magic find a way to take these two lonely hearts from friends to forever?

Feel good Christmas story

Reviewer received a free copy to review

This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I love love love a good small town series and getting to know all the characters and places. This book, while on the shorter side, checked all my feel-good boxes. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series.

Not my first audiobook by this narrator. She’s one of my favorites.

Sweet with heat!

Best friends to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes and this one was so good! Add in a single dad with a sweet little girl and this made for a wonderful story.
Each of the books in this series can be read as a standalone but the epilogue at the end of each one is a teaser for the next story so you might want to read them in order. Having said that, I didn’t read them in order and I don’t regret that.
Ryan is finally ready to move on after the death of his wife eight years ago but he never expected to fall in love with his best friend. Tatiana Sokolov did another great job performing this audiobook.

Another Five Star Story

Vivian Arend consistently keeps me enthralled and entertained. This Christmas book is no exception. Great storyline, character development along with Tatiana’s fantastic narration makes me so happy! Just the right amount of romance with an HEA. I always look forward to visiting one of Vivian’s fictional towns. Thanks for another wonderful book.
