About this listen

Ghostwriter Holly Hart lives in a town where everyone’s obsessed with two things:

1. Christmas

and...

2. Holly’s ex-boyfriend, Elliot Sinclair... who just so happened to write a bestselling Christmas novel based on his relationship with Holly, before disappearing from her life completely.

All of this makes life pretty tough for a Christmas-hating grinch like Holly, who’s completely given up on romance. But when she’s given the opportunity to ghostwrite a Christmas romance novel for popular author Vivienne Faulkner, Holly sees an opportunity to get her revenge on Elliot by using the book to tell her own—true—version of the story.

It seems like the perfect plan.

But now Elliot’s suddenly back in town—and rumor has it he’s working on a new book, too. Can Holly write the perfect Christmas romance, while somehow avoiding her ex… or will the ghosts of Christmas past continue to haunt them both?

A lovely christmassy romance

The story was beautifully written, I loved the past and present timelines following throughout the book. Good twists I didn’t expect! Plus Laura Greaves done an excellent job bringing the story to life!

Christmas Past

Loved the narration of Laura Greaves

We go back and forth between the 10 years when Elliott and Holly first meet initially and the return the present. When they first meet Elliott it was love fast and hard, where he wrote a book about their love story. Then he leaves her. Turning a once happy Holly into the Grinch. Years later Holly can get her revenge.
You will want to shout at these two and at the same time laugh out loud.

Wonderful lovestory.

A beautiful, sensitive lovestory, sometimes emotional, other times fabulously fun, with believable characters and a lot of misunderstandings. Laura Greaves does a good job narrating the book. Highly recommended.

A cosy Christmas listen

Like Amber Eve’s other novels, I really enjoyed this. It’s a great listen for a winter evening when you’re tucked up on the sofa. The narration is perfect - Amber’s novels are becoming more polished with each issue and audiobooks are so versatile. I work in a library and I frequently prefer listening to save my eyes.

Great characters - I enjoyed how Holly comes into her own as she overcomes heartache… and crosses paths with Elliot again! We follow her as she readies herself for another not-feeling-it Christmas which strikes a chord with those of us who, at best, may find the season a nuisance (not again!). And Amber has great secondary characters too - my favourites are the town’s own Ugly Sisters.

The setting has a bookshop, Christmas trees and the scent of mulled wine in a pretty village. As an artist, I do enjoy a description and sense of place in a novel. Some great turns of phrase too - I laughed at the man who can “bore for Britain” and the teapot the colour of snot.

Plot-wise, the story flows and Amber handles the backstory well, which can sometimes be hard for writers. As a reader, I was engaged in both timelines. A great festive period read and/or listen with a mix of emotions.

Very festive

Disclaimer: I received a free copy to review via Booksprout.

The narration was very good.

The story was a lovely Christmassy story, it splits between past and present for the first 3/4 of the book, which isn't usually my thing but I didn't mind it in this case.
