 My Review: 

This was a book I had been looking forward to, but due to the festive Christmas feeling on the cover, I wanted to wait until the Christmas season before I picked it up as I have been wanting to work through this author's backlist of books which I haven't yet read. So I was pretty excited for this one and I think part of issue with my experience for this one was the narration. Its really true that a narration can either make or break a book. And unfortunately the narration I think ruined this book for me. I just became really bored with this book and just felt no connection to the story and maybe it was just me but there was no atmosphere for Christmas so I feel betrayed by the cover lol 

I think the rest of this author's books I will be physically reading because I can be picky about historical's on audio. I did end up finishing the book physically through my kindle, and it was so much better so I am really regretting it. Maybe next year I will try rereading it physically and see if I enjoy it more than I did this time around. I would still recommend, but I would say its most likely a better option to read this physically over grabbing up the audiobook.
