About this listen

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a festive short romance about old flames and mistaken identities.

After a bad breakup, Nola wants nothing to do with Christmas, especially in her quaint hometown of Bright Harbor, Maine. Infuriatingly charming and cheery, Nola’s surroundings only worsen her sour mood.

To make matters worse, Caleb, the boy who broke her heart years ago, is all grown up and still living in town. While doing her best to avoid him, Nola bumps into the local mailman, who gives her a mysterious letter. And when she finds that the writer is a fellow Scrooge, she can’t help but feel her spirit lifting.

Nola writes back to her new pen pal—who, unbeknownst to Nola, is none other than Caleb. When Caleb gets a response hand delivered by the mailman, he’s intrigued by the mystery sender. A friendly correspondence develops—and quickly turns flirtatious.

Although Nola and Caleb claim they can’t stand each other, they can’t deny the simmering attraction that brought them together in the first place.

Can these nameless pen pals write their own love story—or will they be too caught up with the ghosts of their Christmases past to find a future together?

I love this sweet, second chance romance by Meghan Quinn. It was perfectly narrated by two of my favourite narrators Carly Robins and Aaron Shedlock. One of the best holiday story I listened to this year. I highly recommend.

I love this story a lot

A cute, short second chance Christmas story. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a grumpy/sunshine, secret pen pal, second chance romance.

I love Meghans writing style, the performers were great. A cute Christmas short story. I’d have enjoyed a more padded version of the characters stories

Loved this Christmas Novella by Meghan March.

In true Small-Town Hallmarky Holiday fashion.. Nola has just moved back to Bright Habour after a bad break-up. She's been back a few weeks and really isnt feeling the festive spirit. Not when there is a chance she could run into Caleb, the boy who broke her heart years ago and refused to move with her to New York. Instead her only tether to sanity is the letters she's been exchanging with Resting Scrooge Face, the mystery pen pal her grandmother's Postman friend has arranged for her. Busy renovating her families old home, she has no choice but to visit Calebs hardware store.... and that little trip reveals more than the price of paint for her DIY project.

Narration was fantastic.
Chemistry between the main characters was great.

Definitely give this a read, it’s so sweet (and I’m listening to this in February) - I’ll definitely give it another read at Christmas this year!

Performance related, really good aside from the male putting on the female voice, it took me out of the story a bit

So sweet and wholesome

This was a second chance short story, but lots of fun - it had some serious 'You Got Mail' vibes.

Caleb & Nola were sweethearts but they split up when she left to live in New York, but now she's back and they are avoiding each other.

I loved how the other residents were helping try and get these two back together, and the notes that were being sent back and forth.

The narrators were great, really helped pull you into the story and just added a bit more character to them.
