About this listen

This holiday, two of Texas's most beloved sweethearts are finally gettin' hitched. Everyone in the small town of Spruce is overjoyed as the winter wedding kicks off.

Everyone except Malcolm Tucci.

Forced to attend the festivities with his father catering the event,
the stone-hearted, grudge-carrying, holiday-hating Malcolm
is brought face-to-face with Bobby, the soccer boy groom he could've had, and Jimmy, the dancer who stole him away.

What he didn't count on was having his feet swept out from under him
by the rugged, pretty-eyed, and insufferably cocky Samuel.

Is it too late for Malcolm to believe in romance again?
Or is this holiday wedding about to get crashed?

Super sweet grumpy/sunshine romance. Liked Samuel especially, made me chuckle and shake my head on multiple occasions - in a good way. Malcom also truly deserved his own happy ending, so thank you for delivering that. Reading was smooth and easy to listen to. Goes to my top 3 in this series.

Justice for Malcolm - yay!

After six amazing stories, unfortunately, this didn't hit the spot.
Despite being a great author, I was disappointed at Darryl narrating as he didn't inject the life into his amazing characters in the way Chris Chambers did. Overall a weaker and much shorter story. Hopefully book eight will deliver even though Darryl is narrating again....fingers crossed

Disappointing

After listening to four books in this series consecutively which were all fabulous stories, I struggled with the sudden change of narrator. It felt like this seventh instalment was written by someone else because this story had a very different vibe. Or, maybe the Spruce love stories just ran out of sparkle.

Ok
