About this listen

Pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate and settle down in front of the fire with this perfect, uplifting festive listen.

She’s planned the perfect Christmas. But fate might have other ideas…

Krystle didn’t have a normal childhood and longed for warm family Christmases with presents under the tree. Now she makes sure everyone else has the perfect Christmas she never had, bringing beautiful decorations to cheer as many people as possible.

With her festive business booming, she decides to celebrate by renting a secluded house in the Lakes, with a plan to make this the ultimate yuletide getaway.

But fate immediately throws a spanner in the works in the form of a broken-down car, a flooded river and Max; a man who despises Christmas.

Krystle becomes determined to show Max the joys of the holiday. She won’t take no for an answer.

Can she melt Max’s Grinch-like heart? And can he show her that life doesn’t need to go to plan to take you somewhere magical…

Let Sunday Times bestseller Phillipa Ashley whisk you away to the Lake District this Christmas, with a story full of unexpected romance, second chances, snowflakes and starlight! Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Karen Swan and Heidi Swain.

This book was just amazing, I was listening to it on my way to and from work, I couldn't stop and wanted my journey to go on forever so I could listen to it. There story is fabulous I love all the character and how the story builds. I laughed along with the book and it was also so emotional, you rooted for the main characters that they would be ok and come together, and it had such a festive cheer running through it that I now feel so festive after finishing the book, I loved this book from start to end and would recommend this book to all.

I really liked the details about the MRT’s and their volunteer roles. I liked how it was woven into the story and I just wish the publisher would not put such girly chic lit covers on her work.

Really off putting cover for a good story about loss, grief and redemption

I could pretty much guess at the beginning how this story was going to end but despite this I loved it.
The author creates a really lovely cosy feeling I could really imagine the characters and setting and I so wanted to experience a Christmas in the lakes myself after this.
I I also enjoyed the touch of reality and learning about the MRT which I thought was a nice touch from the author as the book is fiction. loved the narration and thought the narrator did an excellent job putting in different accents.
Overall this really got me in the Christmas mood

Lovely and cosy

Another lovely Christmas tale from the pen of Phillipa Ashley set in the beautiful Lake District with its snowy mountains and rural villages as the backdrop.
As always, Phillipa gently educates as she entertains - this time it’s the turn of the Mountain Rescue Team to receive the Ashley treatment. By the end I was ready to sign up, although living on the edge of the very flat Fens, there isn’t much call for it near me!
Anyone who loves Christmas will be beguiled by the visions of decorations and you can’t fail to be moved by the Santa’s Grotto stories.
Harrie Dobby as narrator does a great job of making sure the listener can recognise the characters - always key to a good audiobook, and brings the story to life as you listen.
No spoilers, but Jake is the star of the show.
Hoping for more stories in this setting please!

Lovely Lovely tale . Got through it quickly, heartwarming , and a bit in the middle will bring a tear to your eyes, you would have to be pretty hard not to.
It also brings in a more serious message , and pays tribute to those who .... that would be a spoiler, so won't give it away.

Heartwarming.
