About this listen
It wasn't the Christmas I planned, but was it the one I needed?
Okay, so I can be a little ditzy at times, but that doesn't change the truth of what I saw. Someone is out to get me, and they're making it impossible to accomplish my normal Christmas routine. See, I love Christmas and snow and everything December, so when I got invited to the town of Rudolph to review the new lodge, I couldn't be happier. And it was going great until I witnessed a murder.
Then, the phone calls started, so I didn't the only thing I could think of: I hired a body guard. Unfortunately, he's rude and uptight, and I should never have kissed him because now I can't get that kiss out of my head. It's got to just be the lure of Christmas, right?
Love the spirit of Christmas and good clean romance? Then you'll love this heartwarming romantic comedy from USA Today best-selling author Lorana Hoopes.

Talk about a detour… But here I am. Turning Gran’s beach house into a bed and breakfast; a process that would be a lot easier if I didn’t have to deal with the grumpy lawyer living next door. It doesn’t help that the night Jake and I met, I got a little tipsy, and he had to carry me back to my hotel.
