Acerca de esta escucha
With her beloved island's future on the line, Mayor Holly Baxter must choose between progress and the status quo, and she'll go up against a small army of golf cart driving retirees to do it. Throw in some major family drama, long-kept secrets, and the complication of a new romance that sparks under the watchful eye of her ex, the island's only cop, and Holly realizes that—in life, and in love—there's always a catch!
- Small town
- Clean and wholesome
- Humorous
- Quirky characters

Lights, camera… chaos. Reality TV has arrived on Christmas Key, and Holly Baxter is feeling the heat. Mayor Holly thought she’d seen it all—snowmen made of sand, glitter-covered golf cart parades, and enough retiree drama to last a lifetime. But when the hit reality show Wild Tropics rolls onto the island just in time for a Halloween heatwave, things go from festive to frenzied in a flash. Now she’s juggling: An election challenge that’s heating up faster than a Florida fall A town full of residents who aren’t thrilled about being on camera A surprise visit from River O’Leary...

The island’s getting smaller homes, bigger families, and one very overdue baby. It’s the holiday season on Christmas Key, and the whole island is wrapped in lights, tinsel, and anticipation. Holly Baxter—mayor, mom-to-be, and reality TV wrangler—is nine months pregnant and busier than ever. With HGTV crews arriving to film the launch of a beachfront tiny home community, the pressure is on…and so is the swelling, heartburn, and back pain. As stargazers descend for a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower, Holly’s juggling a lot of things: a surprise visit from Coco that brings ...

Five years later, the lights still twinkle on Christmas Key—but a lot has changed. The island’s baby boom has officially landed: there’s a brand-new kindergarten class and a whole lot of chaos in the sandboxes. Social media influencers have discovered paradise, and now they’re everywhere—vlogging by the water, podcasting from cafés, and trying to make “#IslandVibes” a thing. But the real story this season isn’t in the hashtags or holiday lights. It’s Ruby Hudson.

the story was cute
the story line is really cute. it would have been much better if it was read by a human. The AI has no emotion.

A cute book
The story wasn’t bad, maybe a little cheesy at times. I wasn’t sure how I’d like the virtual voice and it wasn’t the best, but not the worst either. I would definitely prefer a human with some inflection, some emotion, but it wasn’t awful.

Better than I thought!
I stayed away from the computer voice for a long time, but decided to give it a try. Totally got used to it but giggled every time she said things with a lisp. Story was good and I'm onto number 2!

The story was a light, fun tail. However, the robotic voice took something away from the story. there was no emotion in the reading.

Boo for mechanical voice
It was hard to listen to the mechanical voice without expression. The story seemed to have merit and appeared interesting, but couldn't get involved with the characters. Boo against the lifeless voice reading the story. I listen to alot of stories but couldn't get kuch past the first chapter.
