A Highland Ghost for Christmas

A very good book that I enjoyed listening to it is a story that had me crying by the end, but it turned out very good, the narrator was one voice I liked listening to.

A Highland Ghost for Christmas

I enjoyed listening to this short sweet novella. The humor interjected throughout was perfect... I actually chuckled out loud a few times. There was also a perfect happily ever after.

I look forward to more stories by Jo-Ann Carson as well as the narrators, Lisa Reichert and Darren Pollock.

Cute Christmas Romance

After a psychic reading in a tea house promising her not just one man in her life, but two, broken-hearted librarian Maddy meets Cullen Macfie, a Scottish Highlander. The only problem is Cullen is dead. For over 300 years, Cullen has been a ghost who spends his eternity being mischievous and playing poker with other ghosts. Cullen spots Maddy in the teahouse and is smitten so he makes a deal with his angelic counselor to allow him to try to mend Maddy’s heart.

This was a cute story and I loved the chemistry between Maddy and Cullen. Their interactions ranging from Christmas tree decorating and baking were a hilarious endeavor and thoroughly enjoyable. I also liked the second man, Hank, making an appearance in Maddy’s life. I’m not a fan of love triangles at all, but this story appealed because you can’t help but like Cullen and his determination to show her that love finds a way.

My Final Verdict: I recommend this book to anyone looking for some fun and stress relief during the busy Christmas season. This is the first book in a series that has me curious about what’s next.

One of my favourite books! Very enjoyable.

I have read and listened to this book over and over. And it never fails to amuse me. I really like the humour and if you think about it, what better gift for a woman that has just had her heart broken. An overbearing, overprotective, gentlemanly Scottish ghost. I really enjoyed the whole concept of the story and the narration was perfect. It made the old story come to life.
