Mistle Text: 'Twas the Text Before Christmas…

An Accidentally in Love Story, Book 5

By: Whitney Dineen, Melanie Summers

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Avery Reid

I'm Holly Snow and I'm in desperate need of a miracle. I've been raising my five-year-old niece, Faith, since she was a baby. As much as I love her, I was twenty-three when my sister died. There was no way I was ready to be a single mom.

A few months ago, I managed to get Faith a partial scholarship to a ritzy preschool for gifted children. I've been struggling to make tuition payments ever since. The bottom line is that I need to make more money. At this point, I'll take any job that allows me to look after Faith while I work—as it doesn't involve anything weird or illegal. So, when my bestie, Toni, tells me her tall, dark, and Scroogy boss needs a personal shopper to take care of all his Christmas needs, I leap at the opportunity.

When I say yes, I have no idea Mr. Incredible will also end up needing a fake girlfriend. Apparently, he's got to prove to his family that he's the marrying type or they won't be turning over the keys to their investment brokerage to him come January. I should definitely say no, but I'd be crazy not to take the obscene amount of money he's throwing my way. (Besides, who wouldn't want to live in the lap of luxury in a Newport mansion for a few days?) As a bonus, Faith and I get completely new wardrobes so we can fit in. Now, I just have to promise myself not to fall in love with him.

beautiful story

This was a beautiful written story. It is heartwarming and shows how one little girl can win the heart of others when they less expect it. The narrators were perfect for this story

Mistle text

This whole series is well worth the listen, every book had laugh out loud moments and the narrators were perfect, this book however was my favorite and one of the most heartwarming, there are lots of laughs and smiling due mostly to a precocious 5 year old, but many times you will find tears falling down your cheeks just because of the beautiful story. I will definitely listen to this again as it gets closer to the holidays.

Slow it down

The story was decent but the speed the male reader used was super fast. I slowed it down to .9.
Overall, I'd recommend it for a quick, easy read.

Fun and Festive!

This is a true rags to riches story and it has so much heart along the way. I loved Faith and her character was so well written that I could just picture this little girl every time there was dialogue from her. She was so fun and funny and perfectly portrayed. I also really loved Holly and Archie and their story was really fun, sad at times, but overall just a really great, festive story. The audiobook was very well done and I enjoyed the narrator's.

Very good story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Was fun to listen to the faulty reasoning the male lead had to try to convince himself he wasn’t in love. Narrators were excellent also, good listen!
