About this listen

 Cassie Smith has been out of work for a while but she has an idea. Drawing on her love of Christmas, she begins charging for small things: wrapping presents; writing cards; tree-decorating. She's soon in huge demand and Cassie's business, Calling Mrs Christmas, is born.

Carter Randall wants to make Christmas special for his children, so he enlists Cassie's help, and his lavish requests start taking up all her time. Thank goodness she can rely on her loving partner Jim to handle the rest of her clients.

When millionaire Carter asks Cassie to join his family on a trip to Lapland, she knows she shouldn't go . . . Suddenly Cassie finds herself facing a heart-breaking choice that could change her entire life.

The thing that stood out for me was the narrator's attempt at male voices... it was terrible and spoilt the whole experience for me. Very disappointed.

Spoilt by the narrator's different voices.

Let's begin with the narrator, Julia Franklin. She was fantastic, wonderful performance and eloquence throughout.
Now to the story.
I have listened to many Carole Matthews books and while this was intriguing, engrossing and a nice book to listen to - it most certainly was not my favourite story.
The main character, Cassie, is - to put it mildly - the most irritating character I have come across. I think Carole Matthews wrote her characterisms and dialogue perfectly well but it's the person herself that I found so selfish, ungrateful and ungracious.
I spent the whole book in either a state of confusing looks or utter shock at what she got up to.
I completely dislike the central storyline for the hurt it causes but that is not a criticism on the author's behalf - indeed it was all extremely well written. I just dislike people who do what Cassie did, that is all.
I was disappointed that the story did not focus a little more on the business that was created by the main character, there was plenty included but I think I may feel like this purely because I wish the central storyline hadn't happened. So I will leave it there for other people to decide for themselves.
Overall, a very engrossing book to listen to. Well written and extremely well narrated.

Not what I was expecting but intriguing still
