She had a change of clothes in her bag she just needed to get to the ladies' room. Getting picked meant everything to her, but somehow, she always ended up doing the picking.įinally, she skidded into the restaurant and stopped to catch her breath, smoothing down her Mrs. For her softball team, for her internship, for a relationship, it didn't matter. "Is Santa real?"Įxcept if there'd really been a Santa Claus, she'd have happily crawled onto his lap and whispered her greatest wish-to be picked. "Wow, are you real?" a little kid asked in marvel a block later, taking in her costume. She might not be New York born or bred, but she'd learned to fit in just fine. Mia flipped them off and kept running in tune to their raucous laughter. This was accompanied by the hoots and hollers of the guy's coworkers. "I need some holiday spirit! Come on, mama, bring it over here!" I’d recommend the audiobook version of this book for the pure entertainment value that the performer brings to this book.Holding on to her hat, Mia ran along the streets on her killer four-inch red heels, her matching red skirt ruffling in the breeze. I listened to this book at my usual 1.25x which was perfect. Her voice is incredible in the way she can perform male and female voices equally well and with great expression.
I listened to the audiobook version of Mistletoe in Paradise which was performed by Erin Mallon, another of my favourite narrators. The characters are likeable and well-developed, and the storyline is sweet and entertaining. Yes the book is quite predictable, but I’ve come to expect this in romance novels. I enjoyed the romantic tension between these two and loved the effort that was put into Hannah’s stepfather in creating romance. The physical attraction between Hannah and James is still definitely there, but is that enough? When the rest of the family are delayed, the yacht sails without them leaving just Hannah and James and Hannah’s step-father on the ship for four days. James is all about enjoying life to its fullest but works equally as hard.
Workaholic Hannah has agreed to the trip only to pass on a message from her mother to her father-in-law that needs a personal touch. Each of them are travelling to a Christmas vacation spent with family on Hannah’s step-father’s yacht. They have also been apart for several years. Hannah and James are old childhood friends and former lovers. Who doesn’t love a bit of Christmas romance? Add in a tropical destination and I’m hooked! Mistletoe in Paradise by Jill Shalvis is my first read from this author and I doubt that it will be my last.
