The Clause in Christmas

A Poppy Creek Novel, Book 1

De: Rachael Bloome

Narrado por: E.L. Beckett

This endearing, sweet romance will warm your heart and fill you with hope.

Cassie Hayward hates Christmas. Especially this year.

No job. Flat broke. And an ex most definitely on the naughty list.

But the unexpected inheritance of a Victorian cottage in the idyllic town of Poppy Creek may be the miracle Cassie needs. Except for one problem: a clause in the will. Cassie must complete a series of festive tasks for each day in December leading up to Christmas. Overseen by the disarmingly handsome, Christmas-loving lawyer Luke Davis.

Luke is as strong and steady as the bespoke furniture he crafts as a hobby. He has to be. Stepping into his late father's shoes as the town lawyer comes with a sleigh full of responsibilities. Which means the alluring stranger collecting her inheritance is a distraction he can't afford.

As the unlikely pair work together to complete the daily tasks, fighting their attraction becomes more futile than putting good ole St. Nick on a diet. But when Cassie's ex reappears with the offer of a lifetime, she'll have to choose between love and the life she always wanted.

Curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and visit a town that feels like home. A "must-read" year after year.

"The Clause in Christmas is a gift that will keep on giving, no matter the season." (Dave Cenker, author of the heart-warming Pigeon Grove series)

Includes a recipe, playlist, and your own Christmas Calendar to follow along with Cassie

The perfect hallmark style Christmas novel to bring up your mood on a rainy day

Visiting Poppy Creek was Delightful

I thoroughly enjoyed the novel. Ms. Bloom has created delightful characters that I have appreciated getting to know. She has described them so completely that I can easily picture them. The reader is delightful. She creates voices that match the characters Ms. Bloom has written. I’m looking forward to my next visit to Poppy Creek.

Nice, Festive, Relaxing Read

Nice, relaxing, festive read with just a few welcomed twists and turns. I do need to know more about the cliff hanger at the end though lol!

Loved It!

It’s like a cute Hallmark movie in a book. Lighthearted and wonderful. I loved it.

Worthy Read - Reads like a Hallmark story

"The Clause in Christmas" A Poppy Creek Novel, Book 1 By: Rachael Bloome Narrated by: E.L. Beckett
Yes, I loved this story, and the narration, too! Such a pleasure to read a sweet clean contemporary romance story. This is Cassie's story of one possibly life changing December filled with choices to be made and discoveries to be uncovered. And a town filled with characters who really know how to love one another. I am looking forward to another story in this "The Poppy Creek" series!
Note: I received a free download code for this story from the author. Thank You Rachel for this read!!

Loved it!

I had never known of this author and now I’m hooked! Can’t wait to read everything she’s written- loved this wholesome, heartwarming story!

Wonderful Feel Good Read!

I loved this! Quite a surprise packed into a sweet story. It brought me back to my childhood and trying to do as many thing as you could during your winter break for Christmas. Add to that a little romance, a clause in a will and town just dying to help. How could you not love that! But what was most surprising was the "feel good" feeling you have while your listening and long after your finished! Great story by Rachael Bloome and E. L. Beckett was a perfect choice for narrator. I was gifted this ARC Audiobook by Sweet Sounds Audio but the thought expressed are my own. I highly recommend this!

Hallmark??

Hallmark worthy!! I’m the sights, the smells of Christmas, this is a Christmas Hallmark movie in the makes! I could picture it perfectly!

Love Poppy Creek !

Sweet and clean ! Full of learning to hope. I will be reading one in the series!
