The Thief Who Saved Christmas

By: Angela Casella

Narrated by: Lee Daniels, Jameson Adams

He'd like to be the man in her life, but she already has one hundred and seven collectible Santa Clauses.

Ryan

I'm not a ho-ho-ho kind of guy. My brother and I were raised in foster care, and the closest thing we had to a father was a career criminal who'd sooner steal Christmas than save it. I followed in his footsteps, I'm ashamed to say, and did things for him that I regret.

Like taking a priceless Christmas ornament from a Colonial Williamsburg inn.

I'm trying to be a better man, and the first step is returning that ornament. Except I'm too late. The owner passed away and left the inn to her granddaughter, Anabelle—a high-strung, Christmas-obsessed loner whose cat takes an immediate dislike to me. But Anabelle needs my help. Her inn's in trouble, and her ex is planning a hostile takeover. Besides…

I may have come to make amends, but I stay because I'm falling for the woman who loves Christmas. And I'm damn well going to save it for her.

Anabelle

When Ryan Langston booked a room in my inn and said he was staying indefinitely, I knew something was wrong. No one stays indefinitely. Most people seem to be in a hurry to leave.

But the longer he stays, the less I worry about what brought him here... Because this chaotic, charming man is exactly what my life's been missing.

The Thief Who Saved Christmas is a standalone Christmas romcom from the USA Today bestselling author of Jingle Bell Hell and Matchmaking a Scrooge. Includes a bonus epilogue!

Annabelle and Ryan - Merry Christmas!

Wonderful narration from these two. Make sure you listen all the way to the end because there's a BONUS audio epilogue!

Ryan is a thief. Or... he was a thief. He was sent to a small town B&B to steal a valuable antique Christmas ornament from a sweet little old lady. But Grandma Edith manages to get into Ryan's heart in very little time, and while he does leave with the ornament, it's with her blessing, and a promise to return the next year.

When he arrives back at the B&B the following December, Edith is gone, and she's left the B&B to her granddaughter Annabelle - who happens to be on the spectrum, so she's got some challenges in her life. Her boyfriend wants the inn, and her father wants the ornament.

The supporting characters - Cynthia & Jeremy, and Joe, and Ada - are fabulous editions to this fun Christmas story.

Brilliant character growth

I read this book last holiday season and loved it so much. I was thrilled to see it on audio this season and was not dissapointed in the least.

I loved it the perfect balance of wicked and good. The story kept me intrigued and I didn't want to stop listening.
