Wanted: A Mommy for Christmas

Seasons of Love, Book 1

De: Loretta Johns

Narrado por: Rebecca Ehrenpreis

I'm an elf. A Winter Cheer Elf, to be precise.

A Winter Cheer Elf's job is clear: From the fall solstice until spring, we are to spread as much cheer as possible. There are plenty of opportunities to do so, from small things such as providing free hot cocoa with marshmallows where people are enjoying sledding and ice skating to big ones, such as ensuring winter holidays go off without a hitch.

I take my job seriously, but when my cousin Kristianos railed about a letter addressed to Santa being more suited to those doing Cupid duty later, I needed to know more. By the New Year, I had my answer. Come Valentine's Day, I knew I was lost. Will spring blossom into our happily-ever-after?

If I have any say in the matter, you better believe it!

My Thoughts on Wanted: A Mommy for Christmas

This was such a cute holiday romance. What started as a well intentioned letter from a little girl to find love for her daddy and a mommy for herself led to misunderstandings, mishaps, and mayhem. But it also lead to a slow burn romance that ended my favorite way.

The narrator for this story Rebecca Ehrenpreis was new to me but I really liked her. She had a fun energetic tone that I thought was well suited for this Winter Cheer elf character. There were also a lot of side characters in the story and I thought she did really well with giving them all their own tone.

Overall this was a good listen and one I would recommend to holiday romance fans.

Love this book

Love this story! I think I will have to listen to it again around Christmas, nothing better than a Magic Christmas Love story🥰

Good

Overall, I thought the story and narration were good. I normally don't listen/read love stories. I liked that it had a happy ending for everyone. I took one star off for the weird sex scene. I thought it was a bit unnecessary because some things can just be implied. Random but I didnt think the cover art went with the story. The story seemed somewhat animated because of the narrator's voice. Just my opinion.

DISCLAIMER: I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review.

So very close...

After getting over the SHOCK of this being set where I live... Fayetteville, NC, I was able to focus. AT least for awhile. Laughing is a bit distracting. I really enjoyed the tale and smooth humor of the Winter Elf. I could actually see it playing as a movie in my mind. I did not hit any disappointment until around 14 minutes from the end. The crude sex scene was so unneeded. It completely disrupted the flow for me. I had to make myself finish the last 12 minutes. I am sure others probably will not care, but it was just too good a story to fall back on, in my opinion, a cheap shot.

Good Book.

I enjoyed the story but felt like it was a bit rushed in places. It all happened very fast the book seemed short. I like the idea of the story,hadn't heard or read one like it before. Missing a star as I just wanted more in the build up of the story.

Christmas in July

This is such a fun, quirky listen! I love Christmas stories, and when they stem from single parent stories, all the better. Stemming from the letter of a child wanting to have a wife for her daddy for Christmas, this leads to Krissy the elf coming to help out. And from there, we have cookies, and presents and fundraisers and cheer. There are laughs and misunderstandings and magic. It's a blast from start to finish. If you want a feel good story, this one is it.

Rebecca Ehrenpreis uses her talents to bring this all to life. She has a huge cast of characters and masterfully gives each one their own voice. She does a remarkable job and made for an entertaining listen.

Cute storyline!

This book offers a different spin on a holiday love story! Cute storyline. I was pleasantly surprised!

Great feel good story

Star crossed individuals who despite the odds; make it.

I gave 4 stars on the story as the last couple of pages before the epilogue were unnecessary.

The story was very clean cut except for that.

Just like a hallmark movie

This book was like listening to an hallmark Christmas movie. It was very cute and sweet. But I would recommend only listen to if your in the mood for such a book.

Great Book !!!

The story was great. I enjoyed how the elf fell in love with the human and his little girl. A happy love story always wins with me... Truly enjoyed !!! 😊
