Great plot wonderful humor and characters I LOVED

What a awesome story of two people so different but yet so much alike when they come together sparks fly and love happens with some trying times in between. There is so much fun and laughter in this book but at the same time so much sadness, lose and confusion. Joss has lost so much from the home away from home she misses so much but what she misses more is her mother and the love her whole family shared. Now it is just her, her sister and father who are trying to find peace in a world where they have lost so much. Ben is handsome, use to women falling for him but he is very caring. What both he and Joss have in common is shyness, a feeling over life being too much and trying to work out things in their lives.

Ms. Wynne does and outstanding narration with her character voice that give deep sexy tones to her males and lovely sweet sexy ones to her females. Her emotions are wonderful she has such a caring tone but can still reach those angry and lost ones very well. She brings true emotions to the listen that pull you in giving you a story you can buy into making it real. I loved how she brought out the fathers off the wall humor really making it a fun listen. She showed how truly caring each family member was and how so how painful it was to lose those you love. There are no background noises, no repeating of words, and no volumes changes just a truly enjoyable clean and clear listen. Her performance was outstanding which made this a win, win listen for me.

The author gives a compelling story of passion from different points on many different things. The love and lost of a dear mother, as well as the country they all adored. Each feel the loss in a different way but each are trying their best to support the other. I loved the father his off the wall humor matches my own so it was very easy to relate to him. Joss’s sister was fun but you sure could feel her pain. I have to say my heart went out to Joss the most because she is torn from the loss of her mother, supporting her family and still wanting to go back and support her adopted family. She sure does love it in the small village in New Guinea. She isn’t ready for love and thinks Ben is a play boy being able to pick any women he wants. Ben isn’t really into the one and only love but finds her very attractive and wants to get to know her better. He isn’t ready for her to turn him down and he isn’t giving up. He falls fast and hard, I really like how he deals with it all and do love his pigeon and how that came to be. I had many laughs over their time together. His origami takes my breath away and what he uses it for really is great. I really loved the buildup of this romance it was steady but easy. The two families help work it out with a few surprises along the way. I loved their day trip and how that plays out. Ben does have a few tricks up his sleeve. I loved the humor all throughout the book, the plot was outstanding, the characters even better.

Bottom line this was an outstanding read that really holds your attention pulling you in from the first page, keeps you smiling and laughing as well as giving you some sorrow and pain. This is the only audio the author has at this time I sure hope there will be more. I enjoyed this so much I bought the other two in the series. Now to just find the time to read them, they do sound as awesome as this one. I believe most people will truly enjoy the read. If you love humor it is a must. I do hope you will pick it up and you enjoy it as much as I did.

Wonderful story!

Great characters, sweet romance and a swoon-worthy proposal. I highly recommend the story for anyone who enjoys clean romance stories.

So Romantic

I am getting to like Aubrey Wynne more with every book I read that she has written. This one is so sweet and romantic. Ben and Joss are so fun to follow through their meeting and romance. The humor is dry and more than once I found myself chuckling as I listened. Looking forward to finding more of Ms. Wynne's books

Sweet holiday romance

Christmas in Chicago with Ben and Joss is the perfect holiday! Joss is new to town, a little shy and definitely not Ben's normal type. But there is something about her that he is attracted to. Could it be that she denies his advances? Taking the challenge, he is going to try and win her heart. From ferris wheels to accidents to learning to speak snake languages, this is a sweet an endearing story. Narrated by Sara K. Sheckells, the story is beautifully told and an enjoyable listen.

Enjoyable story

Wonderful love story with a great narrator. The way she makes the characters come to life is incredible.

Enjoyable romance

I enjoyed this story but I didn’t enjoy the narrator much. Her voice just didn’t draw me in. She did a decent job on characters.

Good narration & Story

Joss, with Becky encouraging her to go to a single meeting. Her mother has died, and plans to go back to New Guiana have changed. Trying to adjust living in the states Becky would like her to stay, even if Joss didn’t like the cold. For Ben it was love at first sight, a beautiful story of how he sets out to win her heart. Given ARC audio of which narration was good for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Move over Hallmark Channel

I love that this is a story I could listen to with anyone, including my grandmother. Sometimes you just need that wholesome story that hits you in the feels. Thank you for such a wonderful story. I also enjoyed Sara's job at narrating the story. The way she makes the characters come to life is incredible.

Awesome Story!!

This story is set in the Windy of Chicago. It is about Joss Palmateer who grew up in a Papua New Guinea mission who is dealing with living in the U.S and the sudden death of her mother.

If you want to know what happens/ turns out you really need to read or listen to Paper Love!!

This book was narrated by Sara K. Sheckells. I truly loved and enjoyed listening to this book!! Narrator Sara K. Sheckells did an awesome job with the characters when narrating this Awesome Story!!

A sweet, wholesome romance

Paper Love, Book 2 in the Chicago Christmas series by Aubrey Wynne is standalone, wholesome romance. It's sweet and innocent, though Ms. Wynne does add a twist what with some of the things that Joss and Her family are dealing with. Ben is Joss' best friends brother and he completely falls for Joss. Joss is super sweet and dealing with family loss and also has her heart closed off due to an unworthy ex. Without giving away any spoilers, Ben does everything almost perfectly to win Joss' heart. You'll obviously get your HEA at the end of the book. I took at star off because everything felt a little too perfect and I felt that the story was fairly predictable, at least to me.

Sara Sheckells did a good job voicing the various male and female characters. She even had unique voices for Joss, Becky and Laura, as well as Ben and Dan, which made listening and differentiating the characters even easier. If you're looking for a vanilla short and sweet romance, I think you'll enjoy this one. Also worth noting, the series is A Chicago Christmas, though the story doesn't focus or really revolve around Christmas, so it's a good listen anytime of the year! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.
