A Very Braden Christmas

This was such a welcome gift to us, the readers who LOVE the Braden’s!

I read the book first and then listened to the audiobook narrated by the very talented Lance Greenfield. He does a phenomenal job throughout.

To visit with the Braden clan at such a special holiday and catch up on their lives, I didn’t want the novella to end. This is the family that started it all and to see these alpha males and their feisty wives deal with the everyday issues of raising a family was wonderful. In particular there is a touching scene revolving around a first kiss that is swoon worthy.

Hal is THE BEST! His unending love for Adriana is beautiful, endearing and heartbreaking, all at the same time. He is the man to measure all men against. He raised his children to be the men and woman we’ve grown to love. You will forget this is a fictitious family from book one. If you haven’t read the Braden’s of Weston you’re in for a wonderful treat.

Be prepared to shed real tears, it’s that touching and heart warming!

The Perfect Braden Christmas Story!

I cried and laughed and cried some more. This story was everything! I loved checking in with our favorite Braden family and learning about all the updates in everyone’s lives and of course getting caught up in their excitement. From Little Hal and the pajamas, to the movie and Hope at the end, this couldn’t have been better! What a perfect Christmas present Melissa Foster has given us in this book. I listened to this book as an audiobook narrated by Lance Greenfield. This is a newer narrator to me. I have to say this started off a little slow for me but the narration definitely got better as the story progressed. I liked how he handled the kids narration and the siblings interactions as well. #all the feels

Love Christmas with the Bradens ❤️

I really loved catching up with the Bradens for Christmas. We get to see what is going on with them and their kids and enjoy some fun, sexy times with them. It was fun seeing the Christmas traditions that Hal's late wife loved to have with the entire family. There were some really funny and some really sentimental times. This was a great story and I would consider this one of my yearly Christmas stories I would enjoy listening to. Lance did a great job bringing all my favorite Bradens to life.

Christmas memories

What a sweet short story of the Bradens and their love for one another. We got to catch up with the family and revisit the love they all have for one another. It was a joyful listen.

Lance Greenfield narrated this short novella and did a great job bringing me smiles and laughs and just all over good feels. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

Wonderful Christmas story!

A wonderful story catching up with Hal’s family during Christmas and the chaos surrounding his grandchildren. Love how his late wife, Adrianna, was a part of the tradition she started so long ago.

revisit one of my favorite families

It was an absolute pleasure reconnecting with the original Bradens at Christmas. I loved seeing the family together again. The catch up on all the lives of the Bradens we fell in love with over the years. It was a delight to see that holiday traditions being past down to the new generation. The welcoming of the new babies, new family members, and the togetherness.

I enjoyed it so much I added it to my Holiday Readathon the month after I first listened.

Thank you Lance Greenfield for bring the Bradens to life. Hal so strong, dedicated, protective, and proud of his family.

EXCELLENT!

Excellent novella. It was nice to get an update on what's been going on with the Bradens who started it all! The narration was excellent and kept me entertained. The author did an excellent job with the character builds and plot. I can't wait to read more of Melissa Foster's books! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Fun!!

Melissa Foster had me laughing out loud at the very beginning of this story. I even woke up my hubby sleeping in his chair I was so loud.
Hal Braden's deceased wife was always whispering in his ear. His children and their families came home for Christmas. They carried on the tradition of having a slumber party in the living room with the whole family. It was started by Hal's wife and they continued to do it and what a fun time they had.
Lance Greenfield did a wonderful job narrating it. He kept me smiling all the way to the end.

Good addition to this series

This was such a quick sweet read that brought us back to the Weston Bradens where this series all began. This holiday read shows us Braden holiday tradition that has gone back to when the group has had since they were children themselves and were started by their deceased mother.

I enjoyed catching up with this group as they have moved on and have been expanding their families since their stories have ended. I liked the story told from the multiple POV so that as a reader one is more in tune with the characters.

In the audio version of this short story, Lance Greenfield did a great job narrating and bringing this story to life while making it an enjoyable listening experience.

This was a perfect holiday addition to this series and I enjoyed it from page one and had it done in one sitting.
