However, planning a wedding and operating their wildlife center takes a toll on both Pepper and Lathen.

Lathen finds himself drawn into a covert military mission while trying to deal with issues with friends and family. Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen's werewolf pack, Pepper's parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?

So much more than I expected!!!

This is my first listen by Tena Stetler, and I was greatly impressed. I loved how the author wove so much into the book. The plot of the book was great, the suspense was an added plus, the imagery was outstanding, and the characters were endearing. Kalena Schubert did an awesome performance with the various characters giving them distinguishable voices. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. This book is a standalone listen and part of a series. I really enjoyed how the author had a witch, a werewolf, a ghost and an animal rescue all in one book. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

A great paranormal cozy

This was a great paranormal cozy. It had a great combination of mystery, romance and suspense. The narrator has done a wonderful job of reading this book. The author has done a great job of writing and building the characters in this book.

A Good Witch, A Werewolf, A Christmas Wedding

This supernatural and paranormal story, grounded enough to be almost possible, will leave you with a smile. It is an "happily ever after" story in the Holiday spirit. I have not listened to the first book in the series, and though there were several references to it throughout the narration, you can still enjoy the storyline on its own. You'll just need to use a little of your imagination here and there and connect the dots. The Alaskan werewolves pack is perhaps more tame than one would expect but likable just the same. Witches and spirits for the most part good, but with a villain or two thrown in for effect, give the book a fairytale quality, as does the snowy coastal landscape of Maine. A family reunion in Colorado offers another glimpse to a Winter wonderland. The rescue animals become an intrinsic part of the whole narration. One peculiarity I found was the truly detailed description the author used in recounting the various everyday activities, such as meals or house decor, which might have been not that necessary. However, since I'm detailed oriented myself, I can well sympathize...
The narrator did a very nice job of it and made the listening experience a pleasant one.

I'm having a hard time with this one. This is book 2 in the series and I have not read book 1 so I'm not sure if that is something that is making this review harder than I thought or not.
Let's start with I love Christmas Stories, they usually capture me right away, this one however did not, although I can't be sure if its because it summer and I'm really not into the snowy novels yet or if I just couldn't connect with the characters.
The animal centre is a noble cause but like Lathan working with the government - I felt that everything was just a bit to skimmed over. Lathan is working for the government & then he just isn't. I think things could've been expanded just a little more.
The ghosts...I haven't decided if they are annoying, nosey, comical or all of the above! Crazy characters tho!

If you are going to judge this book on my review...please keep in mind that I have not read the first book and its about snowy weather & we are in the middle of a heat wave.

Very Sweet!

I liked this book. This story became slow at times but kept me engaged once I got into it. I really think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first book in this series beforehand. The narration was good. This was my first book by this author and I would have no problems listening to the other books in this series.
