Loved this story

I loved this fun-filled, festive small town romance. This was just the read I needed: a sweet, loveable escape with just enough drama to keep me engaged. I definitely recommend this Hallmark-y read. Emma Swan does a does an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality.

Cute Story

This is a good snuggle in bed with hot tea or cocoa and warm blankets kind of book. A little heart warming, a little love inducing, a little romantic. I enjoyed it. Its not too deep, not a lot of drama, not something you have to think deeply about. There is an issue that arises and its a good topic to discuss because its relevant. But its a story wraps up nicely and easily.

Nice story and Narration

Very cute story and I love the narrator. I really don’t understand why others don’t. She has a uniquely delightful voice and is not dull like others I’ve heard.,
The story is actually very well written.

mediocre

Quick review. Worth listening for free, yes. Purchasing, no. Everything was just mediocre. Narrator's voice was not matching the characters and kind of dumbed the story down. It was a cute Christmas Hallmark type story wich is great for the Christmas season.

Lovely and wholesome

Lovely story.
I enjoy the focus on the sisters. I also liked the topics of kindness, forgiveness and friendship in the story .

Cupcakes and More

Just a cute story set in rural England two sisters following their dreams learning through life's mistakes falling in love and finding their place in the world delightful story.

pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it I was not expecting to. the story didn't drag on. I like the main character.

British Romance Is a Thing!

I loved this story! I have long been a fan of British mysteries and have watched British comedies on TV. Somehow I have never considered British romance as a genre.

This book has opened my eyes to a whole new avenue of entertainment for me. As the eldest of 3 sisters, I can very much identify with the Oldest Daughter Syndrome as experienced by Carly in this story. i can empathize with the need to achieve alongside the need to rescue and build up the younger sister. A lovely romance! A lovely story!

Adorable story

The sweet story was heartwarming and comforting - like a cup of tea on a cold day. Love the narration!

Near and dear story to my heart

This story was very touching and I was I have a daughter that has PTSD meant a lot to read a story that connected with a real issue. The way that Bethany had to deal with her issues and thought it was all her and her sister I loved her through it, but took blame for herself and how she saw the situation excellent story.
