Publisher's Summary:

A Stone Creek Christmas

A horse in need is a matchmaker indeed! Stone Creek veterinarian Olivia OBallivan communicates easily with animals, but men are another story. Especially rugged architect-turned-rancher Tanner Quinn. Olivias uncanny bond with his daughter Sophies pony, Butterpie, has him questioning her sanity, while she wonders if hes not just a drugstore cowboy.

Then 12-year-old Sophie conspires with Olivia to get Tanner into the spirit of Christmas with all the trimmings, including a treelighting ceremony and a man named Kris Kringle in a sleigh driven by seven reindeer and a donkey. But will a holiday miracle transform the globe-trotting Tanner into a rancher - and family man - for all seasons?

At Home in Stone Creek

The only single woman in Stone Creek.... Everyone in Ashley OBallivans life is marrying and starting families - except her. But what date can compare to Jack McCall, the man who broke her heart years ago? And now hes mysteriously back. But he isnt who she thinks he is.

After a dangerous mission working for the DEA, security expert Jack McCall rents a room in Ashleys bed-and-breakfast. For her sake, he must keep his distance. But his feelings for her are so powerful that only his heart remains off-limits. To protect her - from his enemies and himself - he has to leave, vowing to fight his way home to her and Stone Creek forever.

Not worth the credit

What would have made Holiday in Stone Creek better?

different narrator

If youve listened to books by Linda Lael Miller before, how does this one compare?

I love Millers books but with this narrator it's hard to listen and get into the storry

How could the performance have been better?

Gayle is aweful. No emotion, to many pauses, no voice infilctions.

Any additional comments?

I regret wasting a credit on this book, I may have to purchase the actual book.

Not too bad!

First story was pretty good. Really enjoyed the story of the vet and the rolling stone architect. Sophie and Ginger were two of my favorites. Olivia and Tanner didn't fight the attraction but decided to flow with it, which made for a nice change.

The second story was not my favorite. I found Ashley to be a sap. How many times can a person be left. Jake was a love em leave em guy and he did this to Ashley 3 TIMES!!!! Yet she still went after him. ::SIGH:: but she did get her man. I just hate to see women running after a man.

The narrator was not so good. I got used to her, but every time a new character was introduced I gritted my teeth. This narrator needs lots of practice. I wonder if they ever listen to themselves after they have recorded a few pages?

Disappointing

I was hoping for some light, fun listening, but this book disappointed me from the start. In part 1, our heroine the veterinarian, rescues a lost reindeer. Implausible yes, but when the vet says it's a male because only male deer have antlers. In the case of reindeer they ALL have antlers. Not to mention it was apparently a "miniature" reindeer so it fit into the back of her Suburban.

There are a lot of inconsistencies that could easily have been corrected with a minute of research.
