The Christmas Makeover

By: Caroline Mickelson

Narrated by: Carly Robins

With the countdown to Christmas underway, interior designer Jackie Frost is surprised to receive an urgent phone call from Santa Claus requesting her help. Once at the North Pole, Jackie gets swept up into Santa's crazy plan to makeover Christmas Central as a surprise for Mrs. Claus.

Several things test Jackie's devotion to the Claus family as the renovations get underway, not the least of which is having to work alongside master craftsman Dean Bradshaw. Dean is handsome, smart, funny, and he has an absolute gift for building things. But what worries Jackie is what he's taking apart, namely the walls she's built up around her heart.

Great xmas romance set at the North Pole

I have never read a book that included Santa and his elves as part of the plot. I was very excited to hear this book. I was not disappointed. This book is set at the North Pole with a sweet holiday romance brought together by Santa and the gang. I only wish that this book was longer because there were points were the story felt rushed which was unfortunate because the story is excellent. I can only imagine what the story could have been with more detail and development of characters and situation. This is a great holiday read for anyone preparing for the holiday season. I smiled through the entire book and wanted more when it ended. I am starting another xmas book by this author now. The narrator did a great job, smoothly read the story and most of the time I forgot about her and just saw/heard the characters.

The Christmas Makeover
: Caroline Mickelson

A short, cute, funny tale when Santa becomes a matchmaker, while trying to surprise Mrs. Claus with an anniversaries makeover of their home. Characters are enjoyable and fun to picture.


The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. Carly Robins brightened my day.

Funny Story

This was a delightful surprise provided via audiobook boom. I enjoyed this story of Santa intervening to get Jack Frost daughter married to a long time friend of Santa's son Nic. The makeover of the living quarters started out as a surprise for Mrs. Clause but the end result was a sweet HEA. No sex or strong language but a great story. So if you want to listen to a quick love story that has lots of fun and twist then this is a good one to listen to.

Right on Par for Mickelson Fans

Ms. Mickelson is known for her fun, romantic short stories. I cold see these on the Hallmark channel. Like the Good Witch series. Wholesome family fun

Super cute

I like a good short story every once in awhile. I found this one to be short and sweet. What's not to like the daughter of Jack Frost redecorating the North Pole home of Santa as a surprise for mrs clause. Throw in a tummy builder and you have a lovely little romance. Not rated x more like pg. received this book free of charge in order to give an honest review.

Short but Very Sweet!!

What other book might you compare The Christmas Makeover to and why?

I am not sure about a book to compare it to but i would compare it to the movie Santa Baby,

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when Santa announced the engagement and it left the two flabbergasted.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was too short to need or want a break

Cute Holiday Morsel

Even though you know, within the first few minutes of listening, exactly where this story is going to go, it is an enjoyable, quick listen. My only criticism of the story is that it may be too quick; you're pretty sure you know what's going to happen, but aren't given a chance to relish the development of the relationship as things proceed so quickly.

Carly Robins provides a smooth, enjoyable listen. I especially love what she has done to distinguish all those elf voices -- that could not have been easy! There were a couple of passages in which I found her breaths distracting; this was the first time I'd listened to a book on my phone, though, so this could have been due to a limitation of the phone's speakers, and I didn't notice it throughout the story.

Highly recommend for a light, short, not too smarmy holiday read. I recall nothing that would have made me blush for my grandma or daughter to hear, so I give it an A family-friendly grade.

I received this copy for free at my own request.

Sweet Christmas romance

I loved listening to this sweet sassy story. For just about the entire time I was smiling. Carly Robins did a wonderful job of narrating this story. Between the 2 of these ladies they did a wonderful job and really know how to bring a christmasy love story to life. The antics of the elves and of Mr. and Mrs. Clause just made the story so much more lovable.

love

Any additional comments?

What better way to kick off December than a holiday audiobook!!! Caroline Mickelson is a storytelling wonder when it comes to feel good romantic comedies. She does a great job of developing characters and feeding the story to the reader in bits...leaving them wondering and wanting more. She develops characters in a way that makes the reader care about the outcome. This audiobook is perfect to listen to while shopping or wrapping presents or any other holiday task.

great

I have listen to the other books I have always like them I cannot wait for the next one. Jackie has finally meant Mr right
