Sweet romantic Story

Any additional comments?

A romantic story of love at first sight. Two people coming together for the first time but love started so fast. and so full of love and family. A special treat for the young one who wanted a mommy for Christmas. Love it

Two sweet, but brief romances

This is a twofer, you get A Mommy For Christmas and a short bonus read of Meant To Be Always. They are both fairly wholesome romances. That means closed bedroom door, although there isn't really and bedroom action. It is a few sedate kisses at best.

The first book has Melanie and Jackson, who are both healing from life. Jackson from his wife's passing and caring for his young daughter. Melanie from a broken engagement and a want for motherhood.

The story alternates between bother of their POV, I prefer this sort of mixed narrative. It really makes for a fuller story.

This story is super short, it really could be lengthened and have the romance play out over a longer period of time. While it was a sweet read, it did leave me wanting more story.

The second story is even shorter and less believable. Maddie and Brice, have great chemistry but one night does not forever make. This is another story that would benefit from more length to truly develop the romance.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Tiffany Williams, who does a lovely job. Her voice and energy are perfectly suited to this sweet romance. I enjoyed her character's voices and the distinctions she gave them. It was always clear who was speaking. Her tone has a soft and feminine quality that is great for a sappy love story. I would love to hear more of her reads in this genre.

These are two quick Holiday reads that have a lovely premise. I would enjoy reading more of this author and seeing her expand her romances into longer novels. I think she has so much to offer and length would enhance the relationships she creates.

Disclosure- I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.

2 very short stories ...

Any additional comments?

A Mommy for Christmas and its bonus story As you Wish are what I would call novells/short stories. While the plots of both stories had potential for longer books, I felt that they were a little rushed to be short stories. Too much happening for the length of the story. If Ms. Zwissler fleshed out the stories a little more they would be great novels.

I enjoyed Ms. Williams performances of these two books. She does great children's voices. I would like to listen to more of her work.

At 1 hour and 40 minutes, these stories can easily be listened to in one sitting.

I would recommend these stories to someone who likes 'lite/sweet' romance.

Sweet Christmas Romance

A Mommy for Christmas and its bonus story As you Wish, novellas, we're short and sweet. Unfortunately with so much going on, the stories could've been fleshed out more and made into full length novels. It felt a little rushed.
