About this listen

 Holly has the place to herself this Christmas. It’s not her place, though – she is house-sitting for friends who live on Nightingale Square – just there to keep the place warm and cosy and only for long enough for her to sort her life out. Newly single and finding herself unsure about next steps for her career, she plans to hunker down and make some life decisions.

To clear her mind, she sets off on early morning walks around a nearby lake and bumps into May, an older lady who is also new to the area, and her dapper Dachshund Monty. Quickly, a firm friendship blossoms. Then when Holly meets Bear, a rather large and rather attractive man, at the local pub, and his rescue dog Queenie, her stay at Nightingale Square suddenly feels even more appealing.

As the community comes together for the season’s festivities, Holly must start thinking about where her life will take her next. Some big decisions need to be made, but distractions close to home make thinking about the future more tricky than ever…

Will she get that festive feeling this Christmas…?

Fantastic as all Heidi Swain novels are and Karen Cass brilliantly brings them to life. Absolutely loved this story and being back in Nightingale Square

Lovely story

I have to confess that although it is totally predictable I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I won't go into the story because it is totally predictable so I would be wasting my time, so, all I will say is it is beautifully narrated, by Karen Cass and a nice no worry listen, no bad language, no unnecessary sex or violence, just a bit of escapism.
I do however get sick of men "waggling their eyebrows" what??? never ever seen anyone do that, and silly giggles from the women, which have always annoyed me, people winking, I hate people winking, also when they smell food their stomachs always rumble?? really, mine never does.. That is why I deducted a star.

Really enjoyed it

Perfect Christmas feel good story

I have liked all the Nightingale Square books but this is the best - it has a lovely feel all the way through and the reader gets the spirit of the book - There is a beginning middle and end which is so often missing these days and there is not 'waffle' in this book to stretch it out

love this book - happy feeling
