A Christmas Creek Carol

A Christmas Creek Romance

By: Rachelle Ayala

Narrated by: Trei Taylor

A modern romantic retelling of a classic Christmas favorite

Ebony Cruse is a romance writer with no time for fun - much less dating. When an old friend, Blaze O'Carroll, stops by to ask her to the Christmas Creek Gala Ball, Ebony refuses to go since she has a deadline. Ebony dives into her work in progress and is surprised when characters from her past, present, and future come to life. When Ebony sees Blaze in trouble, she has a big decision to make. Will the Christmas Creek magic give her and Blaze a Christmas worth remembering?

Christmas Creek romances are a fun way to get into the holiday spirit. They are sassy stand-alone romances centered around a town which celebrates Christmas all year round. Each story has a happy ending and can be heard in any order, but of course, they are more fun if heard together.

Deck the Hearts, book 1: Can Holly’s jolly Christmas spirit help Grinchy Gordon Gills save the town of Christmas Creek?

Her Christmas Chance, book 2: A woman with cerebral palsy and her tomcat disagree about the attractive ex-con living next door. Will a dose of Christmas magic reach through his dark secrets?

A Christmas Creek Carol, book 3: A reclusive writer, Ebony Cruse, is given a one-star review on her life by characters in her past, present, and future.

A sweet rendition of a classic with a twist

Christmas Creek is a quaint little town where it's Christmas all year. The residents dress in Vintage attire and the Holidays are spectacular. Ebony has come home for the first time in years since her mom's death to work on her writing which seems to be stuck. But instead of the peace and quiet, she thought she would have she keeps getting interrupted by the residents and then face to face with her past, Blaze o'Carroll. She didn't know Blaze was home on leave.
This is a sweet little story that takes us through Ebony's past, present and future in a unique way. Then there is another twist near the end that adds a touch of drama. I loved how Ebony's characters were sort of characters as well, talking to her as she wrote them. ( probably something only a writer would get LOL)
I liked Trei Taylor's narration. she gave Ebony a solid voice and the story good emotion. The pacing is good and it never felt like I was just being read to.
If you like authors, military men, dogs, Christmas romance and some sweet romance you will like this one.

Sweet and Romantic

This was a sweet, romantic story and a quick listen with good narration and wonderful characters. I really enjoyed how the author gave us a look into the workings of the mind of an author and how characters come to life. There was a good lesson to be learned about the importance of people in our lives. I really enjoyed listening to this story and thought the narrator did a very good job with the narration. I received a free copy and am providing an unbiased review.

Modernistic Portrayal of A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Creek Carol is a revised version of the classic christmas story A Christmas Carol. A sweet novella that takes place in the small town of Christmas Creek. We get a glimpse of what's in a author's mind which is intriguing. With a Christmas Creek twist to keep you enthralled. I love the original classic and I lobmve this modish version too. The cover screams Christmas! I love it!
A perfect fireside listen with hot Chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows.
Narrator Trei Taylor voice is boisterous and brimming with sentiment.

Nuggets of happiness

An early Christmas present for me, this story come just at the right time. These nuggets that Rachelle Ayala writes always put me in the best moods. Ebony is a writer who has been having difficulty continuing her story. When he "brother", Blaze comes home for leave, those feelings of attraction and love come out. But there is baggage they both carry, hurt feelings from childhood circumstances and of course work that gets in the way. This modern day retelling of Dicken's Christmas Carol is spot on to the modern world. So many people can't get out of their own way, it takes a story such as this to let us reflect and reset our priorities. Blaze and Ebony are a perfect example of how life an trip us up, but in the end, love will help us find our way.

Loved this short, and the narration by Trei Taylor is well suited. This is my first listen by her and I enjoyed her. She has a good pace and her variety of voices is well suited for the story.
