Publisher's summary

It's Christmastime in Sapphire Falls!

At least one good thing has come from Levi Spencer's car accident - it seems to have knocked some sense into him. He's ready to leave his wild Vegas playboy ways behind and become a new man. And he knows just the place to do it...his brother Joe's new hometown. He's never spent time in a place described as quaint or idyllic, and now he intends to revel in every charming, sweet thing he can find. Like the homegrown country girl his brother sets him up with for the Christmas formal.

Kate Leggot wants just one great Christmas. After a childhood without Christmas at all and three failed attempts to find the seasonal magic on her own, she agrees to spend the holiday with her friend, Phoebe, in Sapphire Falls. The Christmas-crazy town is a far cry from San Francisco, and Kate quickly finds herself drawn into everything from the snow to the hot cocoa. And, of course, the sweet country boy Phoebe has set her up with for the formal. Looks like she's going to get everything she wanted - and more - under the tree this year.

A not-so-little mix-up, a hot kiss under the mistletoe, and a candy cane or two later and December in Sapphire Falls has never been so hot.

This is a novella, about half the length of the novels in this series. Listen only if you like fun, small-town contemporary romances where they talk dirty and act even dirtier.

Mix-Up Meet-Cute

This was a fun, unique, spicy holiday story. I was initially confused by the first POVs, but it made sense later on. The mix-up meet-cute had me smiling wide. Levi and Kate were so great together from the start. Still, things moved super fast between them, especially at the end. The whole story only takes place over about two days. Yet I still found myself wanting more from them (in a good way).

Holiday mistakes, fun and swoons

I loved Levi and Kate’s mistaken identity, fling, small town holiday romance. The story had the perfect balance of fun, humor, heartwarming love, real life issues, and spice. Kate is an environmental scientist who is friends with some of the employees of IAS, a company based in small town Sapphire Falls. Knowing she needs a small town Christmas and no drama, her friend Phoebe invites Kate to visit Sapphire Falls and sets her up with Tucker, a sweet local farmer. Levi is a millionaire and a bit of a playboy who recently got a concussion from an auto accident which made him reevaluate his life. He decides to come to Sapphire Falls where his brother Joe lives to clean up his life. Joe sets him up with Hailey, the town mayor. Joe and Phoebe forgot to mention to each other the setting up or inviting friends to their house until they’d already left town. There is a mixup at the meet up resulting in Levi thinking Kate is Hailey and Kate thinking Levi is Tucker. Their chemistry and attraction is off the charts but neither of them is what the other was looking for and they live in separate cities but perhaps a holiday fling. The book was well written with an engaging storyline as show through sweet moments, steamy scenes, supportive friends, painful pasts, imperfect characters, missteps, and all the big feels. And who knew candy canes was a thing. I am enjoying binging this whole series.

Kate Udall did a good job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters fairly convincingly.

I ‘M LOVING EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIES!!!!

How idyllic to fall in love with a small town in Nebraska. Watching the strong, alpha males learning to be loving, supportive husband’s to their very independent women. These are great love stories!!!

Sex

This book is all about sex. It's all they talked about, thought about, and did. There was very little substance to the characters. Which is fine if that's all you want in a book. I, however, was hoping for a nice Christmas book with characters who wanted to experience Christmas and a nice romance with characters that had more on their minds than sex.

The narration was terrible

I went into this book knowing it would be a little in the cheesy side, but I’ve read a lot of heavy stories recently so light and fluffy with a side of cheesy was good. The narrator ruined it for me. I felt like the narrator read it like an aggressive New Yorker with an axe to grind. Even the female voices were curt, aggressive and antagonistic. I didn’t finish the story because The narrator ruined it for me.

Feel good story

Fun story. Light romance with a little laughter thrown in. Great for a brief get away. Don’t look for anything deep or meaningful, just enjoy.
