The Reluctant Elf

De: Michele Gorman

Narrado por: Gemma Dawson

Meet Britain's worst innkeeper. Single mother and extremely undomestic goddess Lottie has five days to become the ultimate B&B hostess to save her beloved Aunt Kate’s livelihood. When Aunt Kate ends up in the hospital, Lottie and her seven-year-old daughter are called to rural Wales to stand in at the B&B. Without the faintest idea how to run a hotel (she can barely run her own life), Lottie must impress the picky hotel reviewer and his dysfunctional family who are coming to stay over Christmas. Without the rating only he can bestow, Aunt Kate will lose her livelihood. But will Danny, the local taxi driver she hires to help her, really be Santa’s little helper, or is he the Grinch who stole Christmas?

cute story

nice easy listen. maybe a little predictable but that's ok. enjoyed my afternoon with a project and a book

So fun

This was so surprisingly fun. I found myself laughing out loud at the precocious Mable and the shenanigans of the guests. It was down right funny in places, sweet in others. I enjoyed it.

Cute

Cute, and I know it’s meant to be short, but I felt like we needed an epilogue to round it out.

Fun read

The story is so cute. It really put a smile on my face. It is an easy listen.

Cute Christmas Story

I'm glad I picked this book, I have found a new favorite author! Loved the plot of this book....worst B&B owner ever!😄

The Reluctant Elves

This was such a pleasant book to listen to. The characters were nice, there was no sex, swearing, fighting, and no one died. My son was able to come in the room and I didn’t have to quickly pause the book. It was just a fun book to listen to and I would highly recommend it, especially if you were looking for a book to listen to in one or two days.

Cute little story!

Even though it’s not the Christmas season, I enjoyed listening to this little novelette. The narrator did a good job with all the characters.

LOVED IT, GREAT PERFORMANCE, GREAT STORY.
