A Small-Town Christmas Romance

De: Claire Kingsley

Narrado por: Shane East, CJ Bloom

Now in duet audio, from USA Today Bestselling author Claire Kingsley, the stand-alone small-town/romcom/romantic suspense/Christmas romance you didn’t know you needed.

Handsome, charismatic, and charming, Jensen Lakes is an enigma in a designer suit. But his playboy reputation is a persona—one of many—that he uses in his unique line of work.

A priceless heirloom goes missing right before the holidays, and Jensen is hired to find it. Tracking down the perpetrator will be simple. He’ll be in and out before Santa hits chimneys.

Natalie Thatcher needs a break. She’s a dedicated sister, aunt, and nurse, but her life is no Christmas carol. Between bills, mounting home repairs, and holiday shopping still to be done, most days she feels like a tangled strand of lights.

Jensen follows his quarry to Tilikum, and the Christmas-clad town throws him for a loop. As does Natalie. He enlists her aid—who better to help him navigate the local quirks than the captivating woman next door? Despite their chemistry and sizzling banter, love isn’t on his Christmas list. Or hers.

But as danger mounts, Jensen finds himself in an unexpected position—falling in love with his partner. And when her life is on the line, he’ll risk everything to keep her safe.

And get her home for Christmas.

Author’s Note: A handsome charmer falls hard for a sassy small-town girl. Adventure, witty banter, Christmas coziness, and a holiday happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms can be enjoyed as a stand-alone romance.

Festive fun!

Romantic holiday suspense done right! Shane East and CJ Bloom bring both Jensen and Natalie to life brilliantly as opposites who somehow work perfectly together. Bonus epilogue = everything! Couldn’t get enough of the tension, romance, and festive charm.

Suspenseful Christmas in Tilikum

Jensen & Natalie are the most unusual pair who came together in the most unusual of circumstances. Natalie is a nurse who finds herself in quite a bind when she finds herself smack dab in the middle of a nurses strike. With a little extra time on her hands, Jensen enlists her help in tracking down a stolen priceless heirloom that he has the job of being tasked to locate & retrieve.
Neither is looking for love, but with suspense, Christmas magic, & a little Tilikum charm they find themselves staring straight into the lenses of what could be forever.
I loved the witty banter between these characters. Not just the main players, but also Natalie’s sister, her niece, & the residents of Tilikum. The suspense was just enough to keep me invested, & the Christmas magic had me feeling festive.

Audiobook Review:
Shane East & CJ Bloom…need I say more!? Both are two of my favorites, & it doesn’t matter the character or the story arc, they both capture the story perfectly. This one was no exception.

This is not your average hallmark Christmas

I completely completely enjoyed this story in every way. It was a great surprise!
I highly recommended if you want something different.

The love Natalie felt for her sister & niece then Jensen was truly amazing

This was a really different storyline, with excitement, danger & little girls giggles that no one could resist. They fell for each other when thinking they could never find love. The story was great & had excellent narration. Such a beautiful Christmas story.

One of my top favorites of the year!

Great story, fantastic narration, christmassy but not too much. No angst, no whining, no terrible misunderstandings, just lots of sweet with some suspense and bad guys and good guys. Loved it.
