About this listen

Cassie Smith has been out of work for a while but she has an idea. Drawing on her love of Christmas, she begins charging for small things: wrapping presents; writing cards; tree-decorating. She's soon in huge demand and Cassie's business, Calling Mrs Christmas, is born.

Carter Randall wants to make Christmas special for his children, so he enlists Cassie's help, and his lavish requests start taking up all her time. Thank goodness she can rely on her loving partner Jim to handle the rest of her clients.

When millionaire Carter asks Cassie to join his family on a trip to Lapland, she knows she shouldn't go... Suddenly Cassie finds herself facing a heart-breaking choice that could change her entire life.

Join Cassie as she takes you on a romantic and emotional rollercoaster ride in Calling Mrs Christmas.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it was light and Christmassy without being so simple and predictable it bored me. It had flawed characters, a few interesting subjects to muse on and a delightful little holiday plot.

What did you like best about this story?

That it wasn't a cut and dry simple a to b romance.

Have you listened to any of Julia Franklin’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Fantastic

Whilst I enjoyed the story line, I couldn't quite accept that the character was 35. I don't feel that the Narrator's voice, or the characters behaviours was suited to a 35 year old. It made the character feel a lot older. I was expecting someone 50 plus, but other than that, I enjoyed the story.

Narrator & story didn't suit the character

Carole Matthews has certainly done it again! Exciting right from the start to the end! Far more than just a ‘Christmas’ book!

Absolutely superb!

Amazing

I liked this story and it was perfect to get into the Christmas spirit in the run up to the big day. Nothing too serious, slightly predictable plot. The main character annoyed me a bit but the other characters made up for it. Not my favourite Carole Matthews book but easy to listen to.

Good Christmassy story

Cared about the characters, but some parts of the story were repetitive and slow.
The narration was not up to the standards that I'm used to.

A little slow, poor narration.

While I'm not the kind of guy that reads much 'chick lit' I could certainly appreciate the plotting of this unashamedly Christmassy read. My favourite sections were set at the Young Offenders unit and that sub-plot.

Julia Franklin does a great job at narration, although this somehow highlights the amount of repetition in the novel as the heroine umms and ahhhs, or even just re-caps her situation which I found unnecessary.
