Christmas at Valentine Inn

With a name like Isabelle Valentine, one would think I was destined to find true love and believe in the ridiculous notion of soul mates. Don’t get me wrong: I’m all about love. I even own an inn with my sister where each room is named after our favorite romantic couples. But soul mates? It seems highly implausible there is that one person, your person, meant only for you. My sister, of course, would tell me I’m dead wrong and that the very inn we own calls to such lovers. So, what if she did find her own unlikely happily ever after here with one of the most famous men alive? That doesn’t mean I’m meant for such a destiny.

But what happens when the implausible happens? When a man I thought I would never see again walks into my inn. The man who 20 years ago administered the kiss of all kisses. The kind of kiss that whispered to my soul and told me things I wasn’t ready to hear. But this time Dr. Patrick Abbott isn’t alone—he comes with two beautiful kids and the memory of his dead wife, who seems to haunt all their lives. So much so, Patrick would just as soon skip Christmas. At least that’s his plan until he finds himself playing hero trying to help me save my sister’s secret Christmas Eve wedding. By hero, I mean pretending it’s our wedding. Yep, you heard that right. Now we find ourselves having to act as if we are the jolliest couple around, making the season bright. But somehow the pretend feels all too real. Perhaps in all the chaos, there is room for my own Christmas dreams to come true. Maybe, just maybe, I was wrong about soul mates? Either way, I’m hanging up more mistletoe. Because hello, the man can kiss.

USA Today best-selling author Jennifer Peel presents a swoony, laugh-out-loud story full of holiday magic and charm.

I absolutely loved everything about this book!

One of the best stories I have read! the narrator was one of the best I've heard!

Love a great rom com!

So cute! I hope this gets picked up as a movie! Such an adorable rom com story that has everything you want in a rom com.

SUCH A GOOD SEQUEL!

I loved this book so much! This is a continuation to “The Valentine Inn” book. They are both stand alone stories but you may as well read/listen to them both because you are going to want to anyway.

Isabelle and Patrick knew each other 20 years earlier but came together again and this is their story. Patrick is a Swoony book boyfriend and I love their story.

I also loved the narrator, she did a fantastic job bringing it to life! This is an audiobook that I will be listening to many times.

Best of 2022

This book is one of my favorite reads of 2022! Jennifer Peel hit it out of the park with this story, and Stefanie Kay did a fantastic job with the narration! Loved it!

Beautiful story

This book reminds me of meeting my soulmate on Christmas Day twenty-eight years ago. Yes, I do believe in the magic of Christmas.
