To Noelle that wish is as unattainable as the stars in the cold winter sky. Roman Parker is young, sexy, and an entrepreneur. The CEO of Parker Industries is a man who thought he had everything he wanted. That was until he met Noelle. Can Roman make Noelle's dreams come true? Or will her past prevent her from having the only thing she has ever wished for?

Sexy Hallmark Movie

This story was a fun short hallmark style Christmas story with a little spice. The only thing I wished was that the story was longer.
The voice matched the female character and gave her an innocence that was required

Sweet and Wonderful

I loved hearing this sweet story. I've loved everything I've ever read of Nicole's and this is just another one to love. I've never heard Kat narrate before that I know of and it was a bit of a surprise hearing a Nicole Garcia book read by only one narrator, but it was still wonderful to listen to. I loved hearing about someone who seemed to have horrible luck in life find someone who would turn that around and make her truly happy.

My Two Pennies

Looking for a holiday read to get you in the Christmas spirit, then this story is for you. Noelle’s past touches on a sensitive but very real subject that makes you stop and think while your heart breaks for her at the same time. This story is so much more then the subject at hand though, this author has built this story into a sweet romantic love story. Roman is a man that has it all except when he realizes there’s one person in particular that he needs to go that extra mile to get the attention of. I adored how persistent he was and hearing their story develop just had me smiling more often then not. Great read and a guaranteed HEA. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

A suprising book that will leave you humble.

What made the experience of listening to Noelle's Wish the most enjoyable?

Yes, I was able to identify myself to Noelle on so many different levels. I did not expect this book to get me so deeply and profoundly, but it did. Wow, what a listening it was!

What other book might you compare Noelle's Wish to and why?

I am thinking more of an anime series. Armitage, where a young female robot is trying to survive in a world where she is not loved by humans. Her story of abandonment, of fighting for her place in this world, only to end up in the arms of a man who truly loves her and, yes, makes her pregnant (futuristic robot stories in Japan are that cool yeah!) reminds me of Noelle and Roman's story. Although the anime doesn't necessarily end as well, it still grips me to the core like no other story does.

Which character – as performed by Kat Marlowe – was your favorite?

I really loved Noelle and Roman. They are both awesome and very well played. I was not able to decide which one I liked most as they are both as loving and kind.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried when Noelle remembered her hard childhood and how much all she wanted was for people to love her just the way she is and not have pity on her. I am in that very same spot at this time in my life and that hit a cord, hard, in my heart. I also cried when she described to Roman the torture she went through for three years in the last foster home she lived into and got abused again and again by drug addicts.

Any additional comments?

Wow, this story was not what I had expected and it gripped me to the core. I am happy I was able to get it from the author, Nicole Garcia as a gift. It was really incredible. And the way it was played, was truly moving for me.
