If This Was a Movie

Evergreen Park, Book 2

By: Morgan Elizabeth

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Sebastian York

A new holiday romantic comedy from best-selling author of Tis the Season for Revenge!

A year ago, Jules stumbled upon the man of her dreams in a bar on New Year's Eve. After a lifetime of watching romantic comedies, she was sure she had found her soulmate. That is, until she learned he has an entire family and blocked him.

A year later, she’s having the worst day she possibly could, leaving her stuck on the sidewalk outside her place in a ballet costume, watching firefighters condemn her house because of a water main break when a little girl grabs her hand and tells her she’s her Christmas wish.

When Nate’s daughter tells Santa all she wants for Christmas is for her dad to marry the real-life version of her favorite doll, he dreads having to tell her the truth. When they run into the spitting image of the doll, ballerina costume and all minutes later, he’s floored to find that it’s his dream woman who disappeared from his life last Christmas.

Nate’s meddling sisters offer his in-law suite and his contracting skills to Jules in exchange for watching his daughter, and he jumps on the opportunity. Now, he has just a few weeks to use Christmas magic to make her realize they are meant to be.

Ugh. Amazing

Easy read. Happily ever after. Christmas wish. Found family. Single dad. Enough said. Read it

IT’S JUST LIKE THE MOVIES!!!

I am absolutely obsessed with everything Morgan Elizabeth!! Her books give me such a serotonin boost and this one was definitely such an excellent Christmas book. Who doesn’t love a single dad and a cute meddling kid (and family)???

So cute!

Probably cliche to say since that’s quite literally the point of the book but this was basically a cheesy hallmark movie and I’m absolutely here for it! If this was a movie ….. 😏 ….. I would watch it all the time

Single dad, serendipity, holiday romance

This book felt like a love letter to my favorite romcom movies of the past. Jules and Nate meet on New Year's Eve when they are both dining solo. They hit it off and through a course of events and a snowstorm, they spend two incredible days together. Jules is led to believe he has a family and blocks him. They are reunited one year later. On the street outside her business / home after a water main break. Jules in her ballerina costume and Nate with his adorable daughter, Sophie, holding a doll that is the spitting image of Jules. Nate also in complete shock that he’s face to face with the woman that ghosted him a year ago.

Through some meddling sisters and a determined five-year-old with a Christmas wish, Jules moves into Nate’s cottage home while the work is being done on her place. She also agrees to help with Sophie when Nate is busy. Jules and Sophie are kindred spirits. She has a soft spot for the spunky girl with an attitude wise beyond her years. Nate realizes this is his chance to win her back after the misunderstanding a year ago. Jules hasn’t met a romcom she doesn’t like. Jules wants the fairy tale, but she’s been hurt, and it has her fearful to let go. Nate is patient with her and ultimately decides to recreate scenarios from her favorite movies to woo and court her. It’s adorable.

Narrated by Sebastian York and Savannah Peachwood. They were a delight. I will never get tired of Sebastian as the single dad devoted to the ones he loves. Savannah portrayed Jules’ independence, her insecurities and fear always waiting for the other shoe to drop, her empathy and her playful nature.

This was a quick, fun listen with a nod to romcoms of the past. It’s a holiday story that can be enjoyed anytime. I look forward to the next in the series.

adorable movie reference

this story is adorable just for all the movie references. especially if you're into Rom coms definitely for you. here's a girl who absolutely follows movies Rom coms and loves them to death and kind of wants her life to be like one. Well the story really is, they could make a movie out of this. it's fun it's funny especially the little girl and narrators do a excellent job. they do an excellent job of making the story a motion picture in your head.
