A Movie Star for Christmas: A Sweet Holiday Romance

Christmas in Snow Hill, Book 1

By: Jess Mastorakos

Narrated by: Kaitlyn Alkass

An actress who loves Christmas...

Holly Rhodes is in Snow Hill, PA, to star in the movie of her dreams - a Christmas romance. She’s always been obsessed with the magic of the season, so she's not surprised to fall in love with this charming town and the handsome owner of the inn where she's staying - even if he is a bit of a Scrooge.

And an innkeeper who’s taunted by mistletoe and memories.

Nick Patterson knows better than to fall for a holiday movie star. He's been there, done that, and has the emotional scars to prove it. Besides, he doesn’t need any distractions while he works against the clock to bring the town’s 45th annual Gingerbread Ball to life.

Can the slow burn between Holly and Nick ignite into a love that lasts longer than the Christmas season, or will it all go up in flames?

Holly and Nick’s story is a sweet Christmas romance, suitable for all ages.

Love Hallmark Christmas movies? This one's for you

Holly loves everything to do with Christmas. So, when she's offered a role in a Christmas movie in a small town dedicated to the holiday, what could be better?

Nick's seen his share of starlets come and go from his small-town inn. As a matter of fact, the last one stole his heart and trampled on it. So, he's not about to be pulled into the spell of another beautiful actress who will be here today and gone tomorrow.

Yet, there's something that pulls them each to the other. And that raises questions about what they thought they always wanted. Is it really enough? Or is there something else that might just be even better? Especially if they're together?

This is a very enjoyable sweet holiday romance that I truly enjoyed listening to. The characters were fun and interesting, and I was happy to see them work everything out.

I did detract a star from the narration because there were a number of audio editing issues, where phrases were duplicated in succession.

Needs to be turned into a Hallmark movie!

I'm a huge Christmas fan and love myself a good Hallmark movie so this book was right up my alley. I instantly fell in love with the characters and Snow Hill, the small town it takes place in. The authors writing style makes you feel like you are in the town watching it all unfold. You'll be rooting on the main characters while hating those trying to get in their way. Fantastic read! It got me right in the mood for Christmas!
And goodness, I loved Nick's momma. She's so sweet and the perfect character for this novel.
The narrator did a fantastic job also and the combination of a great story and narrator made me listen to the book straight through without stopping.

Jess does it again!!

Again, Jessica wrote an amazing story! She is the best author that I’ve found. I love all her books. She writes so you don’t want to put the books down. The characters become family to you. You need to read her entire series!! Absolutely loved this sweet romance book. It can be read by any age!

It’s an imbedded Hallmark movie.

Holly is everyone’s favorite movie star but without the attitude. Nick has been burned by the movies and a particular leading lady and doesn’t want anything to do with stars. But every Christmas a different movie production shows up to film in their perfect town and stays at his family’s inn. Holly and Nick have sparks but he’s been burned and she’s leaving in a month. This is a fun Christmas story -it’s like a Hallmark movie within a hallmark movie. It puts a smile on your face.

Cute Clean Romance
