About this listen

No one should be alone for Christmas. At least, that’s what Evelyn Montgomery‘s parents always told her. So when she finds herself very alone for the festive holiday, she decides to book a weekend at Sutton Lake.

It’s there, in a whirlwind of fate, that she meets Jonathan, her gorgeous, albeit grumpy, neighbor across the lake, who also happens to be spending Christmas alone.

After sharing the weekend together, they part ways, but when she leaves, Evelyn realizes maybe parting ways isn’t what she wants at all.

Returning to Sutton Lake to find him, she discovers that not everything about that Christmas weekend was as it seemed. Jonathan is nowhere to be found, and no one from the town remembers her from her visit just one week ago.

Doubting herself, Evelyn wonders if she made it all up.

Was her trip to Sutton Lake just a dream?

And if it was, maybe that means Jonathan was just a figment of her peppermint wishes.

I loved the narration of Sadie Provost

At Christmas Evelyn stays at the cabin before she heads to her parent's house, to sell it. Jonathan has lived at his cabin, to find solitude as he blames himself for a tragic accident. Christmas fate brings them together. Both need healing and to find love.

This is a wonderful feel book.

This was a surprising read. An emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end. Jonathan and Evelyn, two lonely people have a meet-cute just before Christmas. He's very grumpy and she's very upbeat. What transpires between them is not surprising. What happened after Christmas is. I would gladly read or listen to more from this author.

The narrator did an excellent job. I often find that a narrator's reading style is slightly jarring, but not at all in this case.
