Mistletoe Meadows Sweet Christmas Romance, Book 5

By: Jessie Gussman

Narrated by: Jay Dyess

Roland McBride has been trusted with taking over the Secret Saint duties in the town of Mistletoe Meadows. He loves helping families and making people smile. Only one problem—he has a competitor.

Nelly Bushnell just wanted to help out. She didn't realize she would be stepping on anyone's toes as she used her gifts to shower her hometown with Christmas Cheer. Unfortunately this seems to have caused some upset with her sworn enemy, Roland McBride. Just because they swore to be enemies in elementary school, doesn't mean that she doesn't take their vows seriously, and she takes great delight in continuing to do her Secret Saint—like deeds, just because it bothers him.

One cold, snowy night, the two Secret Saints meet and chop firewood together. That begins a partnership that lasts through the holiday season, but their identities remain a secret. Until Roland is falsely accused of a crime and the only way Nelly can save him is to reveal both of their identities. Will the Christmas spirit help these two enemies fall in love?

the narrator no inflection in voice hard to listen to

story is good but hard to listen to too much Bible and boring narrator

The story line hits home

The story had just enough suspense. Good Christian book with several thinking points to make you think of your own thoughts
