Publisher's Summary

This hero needs a holiday miracle or two - and she’s just the one to deliver. 

A stand-alone holiday story from New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.

Single father Ryan Zhao didn’t expect a ghost from his past to literally slide back into his life. His long-time friendship with Madison Joy is a pure, sweet memory, and with the holidays fast approaching, her surprise visit is perfect. Maddy’s a breath of fresh air, full of ideas and enthusiasm - and far too attractive to a lonely man like him. Best friends to lovers might be tempting, but it’s also dangerous, since she’s leaving after Christmas. 

Madison thrives on fixing things. If Ryan insists she stick around and bother him and his adorable daughter for all of December, she’ll do what she can to make his life brighter. Which means reviving their ugly sweater tradition, organizing a not-so-traditional Nutcracker - and fighting to keep from falling in love with her former best friend and his motherless child. 

She’s already given up her dreams once to help take care of her family. No matter how much he wants her to stay, Ryan refuses to ask her to do it again for him and his little girl. Can holiday magic find a way to take these two lonely hearts from friends to forever?

The Not So Nutcracker Play was funny.

AUDIBLE
Really enjoyed this is audible.
The Not So Nutcracker Play came across as such fun.
Didn’t feel that Madison was overshadowed by the first wife so much in audible which is good.
BOOK REVIEW
Always lovely to return to Heart Falls. I never finish a book about this special place without feeling a warmth in my heart and having had a smile on my face.
Great characters, loved Madison.
I honestly enjoyed this humorous Christmas themed story. The Not-So-Nutcracker show was brilliant and bought nearly all the characters we have come to know and love together.
The idea for Talia’s birthday was fantastic. I may use that myself as my husband’s birthday is also December 25th.
The best friends to lovers romance between Ryan and Madison was definitely a slow burn ride but lovely when they both got to the same thinking.
Not quite sure how I feel about the changing dynamics of their relationship though.
Of course I’m very happy for their HEA but as Maddy introduced Ryan to his dead wife Justina, whom he fell instantly and madly in love with, I would have found this more enjoyable if that triangle link wasn’t there.
Just felt like I wanted Ryan to be more precise about how his feelings were different but not less.
At least nobody in Heart Falls knew Justina so Madison will be loved for herself.
This is my honest review of this book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
