First Noelle: A Second-Chance Christmas Romance (Christmas Holiday Extravaganza)

Publisher's Summary

Noelle Joy stopped celebrating Christmas 10 years ago, when Trevor Holden skipped out on their long-planned Christmas Eve wedding. He destroyed her trust in men, crushed her belief in God, and left her cynical about love. Gone is the bright, cheery spirit of the girl she thinks of now as "the first Noelle". Stronger and savvier, the new Noelle would never be found waiting at the altar for a groom who didn't show.

When a famous-but-mysterious architect commissions her to decorate his mansion for a holiday event, Noelle finally returns to her hometown. Even as she finds an unexpected peace in facing ghosts from the past, her fiercely private client disturbs her. Michael Holliday is kind and considerate, but far too handsome...and hauntingly familiar.

Holliday didn't choose Noelle to make his home a Christmas wonderland by accident. She's the only one who can do the job he has in mind - and once she's in his mansion, he never wants to let her go. But he's hiding a secret that could destroy any chance of a relationship with the beautiful decorator.

A false persona. A shattering secret. Can love break down these insurmountable walls?

Not very deep...

The performance was good. The story was sweet. The heroine was not as strong as expected. What I got was in between. I know it was an emotional roller coaster, but she was somewhat clueless. Things she should have known or figured out she didn't. I listened to the book through and through, but it was just a bit out there.
