The Mistletoe Inn

A Novel

De: Richard Paul Evans

Narrado por: Madeleine Maby

The second holiday love story in New York Times best-selling author Richard Paul Evans' Mistletoe Collection.

At 32, Kimberly Rossetti, a finance officer at a Lexus car dealership, has had her heart broken more times than she wants to remember. With two failed engagements and a divorce, and again alone with no prospects, she hardly seems the type to dream of being a published romance author. Dreading another holiday alone, she signs up for The Mistletoe Retreat, a nine-day writing retreat in Savannah, Georgia. Deep inside Kimberly knows she's at a junction in her life, and it's time to either fulfill her dream or let it go. The other reason she decides to attend the conference is because famed romance writer H. T. Cowell, once the best-selling romance writer in America and the author whose books instilled in her the desire to be a writer, will be speaking in public for the first time in more than a decade.

In one of her breakout sessions, Kimberly meets another aspiring writer and one of the few men at the conference, Zeke - an intelligent man with a wry wit who seems as interested in Kimberly as he is in the retreat. As Kimberly begins to open up to him about her stories and dreams, she inadvertently reveals her own troubled past. As Zeke helps her to discover why her books fail to live up to their potential, she begins to wonder if he's really talking more about her life than her literature. But as she grows closer to him, she realizes that Zeke has his own darkness, a past he's unwilling to talk about.

The theme of The Mistletoe Inn is that like literature, relationships must be lived with passion and vulnerability to succeed.

Bringing positive experiences in the end

Nothing negative, I wish it was longer I wanted more and didn’t want it to end .

LOVED THIS STORY!

If you could sum up The Mistletoe Inn in three words, what would they be?

The Mistletoe in was charming, fun to read and relate-able. I wished I was there in those moments.

What other book might you compare The Mistletoe Inn to and why?

It had the enchanting feel of a Debbie Maccomber Christmas book and the Mistletoe Promise is a good one to read as well! :)

Have you listened to any of Madeleine Maby’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The narrator was great.

Any additional comments?

Just love, loved, LOVED it! :)

A heartwarming story

Another classic Richard Paul Evans story! Wonderfully narrated! I highly recommend this heartwarming Christmas story!

Chicken Cordon Blah!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, entertaining story in spite of narrator errors.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Very distracting when the narrator mispronounces words. The first time she said Chicken Cordon Blah (Bleu...properly pronounced Blue!) I thought it was part of a joke in the story and waited for the punch line. Then she did it again and it was obvious she was clueless.

A good listen.

Loved it. Very well written . Story masterly developed. Each of his books are similar but different as this one is.

Recommend

Full of emotion, and had a wonderful twist! Made me cry, and made me laugh.

An Endearing Christmas Listen!

This story made me laugh and cry. It sucks you into the story and you become emotionally invested in the characters! A great Christmas read (or anytime!).

so great!

this was such. great read! it was light and enjoyable. I wish the ending played out a little more.

awesome!

For me, the book started out slow. Half way through the writers conference I found myself thinking..."I thought this was a holiday romance?" Just about the time I was going to move on to somethibg else to listen to, the story came alive. I'm so very glad I stuck with it! It tuned out to be one of my favorite Richard Paul Evans books!!

Lovely

This was a wonderful read. I would read it again!!!! I love romance novels so much.
