Christmas at Clove Cottage

De: DeAnna Kinney

Narrado por: Kelli Tager

Dahlia Dawson is a spunky young woman with a zest for life, but an illness threatens her dreams of a bright future. With her bucket list in hand, she sets out to spend Christmas at one of several Christmas cottages along the breathtaking Chestnut Lake.

Expecting the brisk mountain air, hot cups of coffee, and a roaring fire to be her only company, Dahlia’s dreams of a Christmas escape do not include a grumpy, stiff neighbor who seems to hate life...and Christmas itself.

Realizing her purpose for coming to Clove Cottage, Dahlia becomes determined, with the aid of a wise old caretaker and his crazy dog, to show the handsome Nixon Chambers the true meaning of a magical Christmas.

Christmas comes only once year, but Christmas miracles can last a lifetime.

Love this short!

Sometimes a quick listen is just what I need to keep me going, and DeAnna Kinney has it with this novella! Dahlia Dawson is terminally ill, and upon her diagnosis created a bucket list. One thing she wants to do is go away to a cabin alone for Christmas, and this is the time she does it. But is it all she thought it would be? She meets the cranky neighbor and his dog, and Nixon, the handsome man who comes by to help her. Even with those close by, things are not what she expects until she figures out exactly why she is there. This book has a wonderful message, loving characters and that feeling of warmth I love. It's my first listen by this author and I will be watching for more.

Kelli Tager finds her voice with this narration. I had not heard her before, but she fits in these characters so easily, it's like I am watching it unfold. I enjoyed her voices, her pace and look forward to more narrations by her.

all the feels

I love christmas stories. this one was short but sweet. I expected to end up broken hearted, but the story was so much more.. It did not feel like a story that was less than two hours. Totally unexpected but very welcome. This one was so sweet.

Short but sweet

What a great short story. I needed a HEA today at work to boost my spirits. This short story scratched my itch. If you need a story that just makes you happy, give this a chance. You won't regret it.

Sweet Christmas Story

This was a wonderful enemies to lovers type novella. Dehlia has been given cancer diagnosis, but instead of dwelling on it too much, she does something she has wanted to do for a while. She rents a cabin in the woods with a grumpy neighbour included. She is a klutz and he has to help with that a few times. They quickly go from avoiding each other to wanting to spend time with each other. I was not expecting the ending. I enjoyed the two points of view as well.

Kelli Tager did a nice job with the narration. Overall, her voices were distinct. On occasion, I had to remember who's point of view she was talking in, as her male voice on occasion sounded a little more feminine.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request, and I have voluntarily left this review.

enjoyed it

Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Were there any parts I found annoying: no
Did I feel an emotional connection to the characters: yes
Would I listen to it again: yes

I never expected to become so invested in the out come of two characters in less that two hours. This story has all the elements of a good Christmas story - well done DeAnna Kinney.

Kelli Tager is a new narrator to me, she did a great job bringing Christmas at Clove Cottage to life and I will look for more narrations from her going forward.

A Christmas To Remember!
