The Perfect Christmas

De: Debbie Macomber

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

Christmas perfect?

For Cassie Beaumont, it's meeting her perfect match. Cassie, at 33, wants a husband and kids, and so far, nothing's worked. Not blind dates, not the Internet, and certainly not leaving love to chance.

What's left? A professional matchmaker. He's Simon Dodson, and he's very choosy about the clients he takes on. Cassie finds Simon a difficult, acerbic know-it-all, and she's astonished when he accepts her as a client.

Claiming he has her perfect mate in mind, Simon assigns her three tasks to complete before she meets him - three tasks that are all about Christmas: being a charity bell ringer, dressing up as Santa's elf at a children's party, and preparing a traditional turkey dinner for her neighbors (whom she happens to dislike). Despite a number of comical mishaps, Cassie does it all - and she's finally ready to meet her match. But just like the perfect Christmas gift, he turns out to be a wonderful surprise!

What would the holidays be without a Christmas story from Debbie Macomber?

First Thought when Finished: The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber was a quick, sweet, and fun Christmas read.

Story Thoughts: The Perfect Christmas was a sweet Christmas romance! The story was short and sweet but made for a great afternoon read with a hot cup of tea. I love matchmaker storylines so that made me smile. My only complaint was the end was much to quick for me. However, the rest of the story was delightful and fun! Perfect for the season.

Tavia is one of my favorite narrators and she did an excellent job with The Perfect Christmas. Her pacing, emotion, and delivery were spot on and I think did the characters justice.

Final Thoughts: The Perfect Christmas made for a great holiday read.

Christmas miracles

Do you believe in Christmas miracles? Going to a professional matchmaker and ploping down $30,000.00 is a huge risk. Satisfaction guaranteed, would you chance it? This story will make you laugh and perhaps even shed a tear or two, but you'll be delighted by the warm fuzzies you also receive from listening to this delightful audiobook. 😍

Sweet little Christmas love story

If you could sum up The Perfect Christmas in three words, what would they be?

Believe in love

Any additional comments?

This was a very sweet love story about looking for love in the wrong places. Sometimes love is right under your nose the entire time you are desperately searching. I'm so happy she got her perfect Christmas and what sounded like the beginnings of a perfect life together.

Beautiful book get you in the Christmas love spirit.

true love

A woman knows when her heart is overcome with that special care and love.

Great story and performance.

great story and the narrator brought life to the characters. I enjoyed it very much

Predictable

The plot was predictable and you knew what was going to happen to the characters pretty early on, but it was a fun light listen anyway. Typical of Debbie Macomber's romance stories.

A must listen to.

Simple and purely delightful. I️ enjoyed ever minute if it. Not deep but just an enjoyable performance.

Intelligent and emotional

strong in performance and story, both. cheesy but that is what I hoped in a story with holiday spirit. I cried in one or two places. I was pleasantly surprised how wholesome, and respecting traditional values.

perfect Christmas

I like how the match maker meets his client and then finds his own match in her. Great story!
