Short Unique Christmas Story

This is a short but sweet Christmas romance

American, Beth must be in Scotland all by herself over Christmas.

She meets up with a mutual friend who is very handsome, of course!

I enjoyed the detail, especially hearing some of the traditions.

This has the potential to be a full-length book if the author ever wanted to make it into one – lots of detail to work with.

Caroline Miller did a lovely job performing both male and female characters with Scottish and American accents.

The author and narrator are both new to me and I look forward to coming across both of their work in the future.

Short books usually frustrate me, however, *I received this book in exchange for my thoughts, opinions and this review. I did enjoy it more than I thought-4 solid stars.

2nd Chance at Love over Christmas Holidays

Any additional comments?

I listened to the Audible version of Scottish Christmas, which a wonderful short story written by Addison James. Caroline Miller narrated, who was simply fantastic. She really brought the characters to life, giving each character their own distinct voice, including a believable Scottish accent.

The story centers on American Beth who is working in Scotland over the Christmas holidays two years after a painful divorce. Because no one actually works Christmas Day, she's invited to a friend of a friend's house for Christmas dinner. This friend is in the form of Gordon who takes her to his parents home to experience a real Scottish Christmas with all the activity, frivolity, and chaos all large family gatherings should bring. Things turn comical when Gordon's ex-wife shows up unexpectedly with his college-aged son.

In short, this is a very sweet heartwarming Christmas story about finding a second chance at love. I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.
