So why is there something about being back - and being with Jubal - that feels surprisingly right?

Publisher's Summary
Opposites attract and sparks fly in the delightful small town of Christmas Creek.
Holly Jolly lives for Christmas. It's the only time of the year, as far as she's concerned.
Gordon Gills doesn't need a reason to hate the holiday season. He doesn't see the point.
Gordon returns to the mansion he inherited and finds Holly making a mess with her Christmas decorations. Unfortunately, his great-aunt's will stipulates that he must make merry every Christmas if he wants to keep his inheritance.
Holly is determined to infect the grouchy Gordon with every dose of Christmas cheer she can muster and show him what Christmas is really about.
Will Gordon prevail and turn Holly into a Grinch, or will a sprinkling of Christmas magic show Gordon that there's no fighting love, especially when it's wrapped up in a gorgeous redheaded package of jolly holly?

Sweet Christmas Romance
This is a short listen but a very enjoyable one. Holly loves Christmas and enjoys celebrating. On the other hand, Gordon hates Christmas and is like the Grinch. Although the story is fairly short, the story moves in a good pace and is not rushed or incomplete.
Narration was well done and brought the story to life.
This story was laidback and fun. The author did a great job weaving this fun tale with likable characters. I’m looking forward to reading more books by Rachelle Ayala.

Short and Sweet
This was a really sweet short story, coming in just under 2 hours. I really liked that it was a complete story though. It didn't feel rushed or incomplete. And, though the story was fairly light, no major rollercoasters, it had substance. It also had really nice messages subtly woven into it. I also had never heard of Christmas Creek, CA, so that was a fun new fact. The characters were likable, and even some of the more sillier scenes were the fun silly that made you smile. And, Holly Jolly?! I loved the names. This was a well written nugget of fun.
Kate Marcin did a great job on the narration as well. Her voice was nice and pleasant to listen to, and she gave the characters life. I didn't feel read to. Overall, when you're in the mood to just to relax and be entertained, this is a good book to enjoy.

A great Christmas story...
When Gordon arrives at the mansion he just inherited, he is more than shocked when he walks in to find Holly Jolly there. He 's upset that she is filling it with decorations for the holiday that he’d rather see be outlawed, Christmas. As they try to figure out what is going on, they both rub each other the wrong way. To be able to keep the mansion, Gordon needs to allow the traditional decorating to continue. But if he could have his way, he’d be more than happy to shut it down. Gordon believes that everyone is doing all of this just to keep the town alive. He thinks Holly has been using him. Will Holly be able to show Gordon the true meaning of Christmas? Will she be able to prove how she really feels? This story was really good. It was enjoyable to listen to, and you definitely shouldn't miss it.

Fun story
This is a fun story to get you in the Christmas spirit. It pairs up a fun loving girl not afraid to share her heart and a lonely man not looking for a relationship, or so he thinks. He also is a man that can ruin her town. He didn't plan on Holly and her town to find a place in his heart. I received this complimentary audio and giving a voluntary review.

Although this is a Christmas story, it is so light, sweet, humorous, cute, fun, cheerful, etc., that it’ll cheer you up and bring a smile to your face no matter the time of the year. I loved the character names, including Rudolph the dog, and the chapter titles were great. I absolutely loved everything about it and, the narration was excellent.

A lovely entertaining Christmas novella!
I loved this story! How can you not love something with a character named Holly Jolly? Holly was a wonderful character. She's busy decorating a local mansion for Christmas when Gordon (Grinch) walks through the door and knocks her off the ladder...and on top of him. Holly's goal in life is to spread happiness and Christmas cheer. Gordon's is to sell the house and revert the town from Christmas Creek back to the town originally named after his ancestor. He doesn't DO Christmas!
This novella had great character development and the plot flowed gorgeously. It left you feeling that you had actually been to Christmas Creek. There's a twist in the story that adds even more, but the real question is whether or not Holly will show Gordon the truth behind Christmas as she knows it and win him over. If not, is Christmas Creek gone forever?
The narrator of the audio book, Kate March, did an incredible job.
I was given this book. The opinions are my own.

This is a sweet, light, romantic book. The story is well written with interesting characters and a unique storyline. I enjoyed the idea of a town all working together for the success of the Christmas Festival and the town itself. Kate Marcin does a nice job of narrating. I received a complimentary copy for an honest review.

Christmas Love
I loved this short story. I’m big on Christmas, (I will make it Christmas whenever The spirit moves me regardless of date). My partner is not so big on it. He likes the food...bring on those cookies! The rest of it though..not so much. So he was in a zombie infested world on the PlayStation while I snuggled the dog and sipped hot chocolate in my jammies listening to Kate Marcin. Nice mix, right? Haha. Just call us Holly and Gordon. The story not only drew me in but also drew the zombie killer in. He had me stop the recording so he could go to the bathroom. Talk about a jaw dropper! Who knew he was that invested? For me, that confirmed my opinion that the story of Holly and Gordon is one you don’t want to pass up.
Kate Marcin is one of my favorite narrators. Her singing snatches of the Christmas Carols totally enhanced the story. She has a beautiful voice. I would definitely recommend this story.

A Holly Jolly fun story!
Holly Jolly is hired to decorate the old Gill's mansion as usual, even though the owner has died and it now belongs to her heir. Gordon hates Christmas and plans to sell and have the town renamed back to Gill's Gulch instead of Christmas Creek. Holly isn't against using her charms or body to save Christmas Creek.
Deck the Hearts is a fun story. There is a very sweet, touching twist at the end that I didn't see coming at all.
Kate Marcin does a great job bringing the characters and the story to life.
If you like Holiday stories, Christmas magic, and sweet romance you will love this story!

Short, Sweet Listen
This is a short sweet, fun story to listen to.
The characters ware well developed for such a short story and I really enjoyed Holly and Gordon.
Kate Marcin did a great job narrating and bringing them to life.
This may be a short listen, but it's definitely worth it and I will be re-listening to it again soon.

Short, Sweet, full of Christmas Cheer and Magic!
Looking for a book to catapult you into Christmas spirit?
This sweet, bite size nugget may be it. It is a romance about the heart of Chtistmas, beyond the superficial commercial wrapping. It is also about finding home and the person you want to share it with. Throw in a little magic, plenty of tinsel, an incognito elf and a little family history and you have this delightful, feel-good story set in a town dedicated to the season to be jolly. Makes me curious about the other books in the series.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
