About this listen

Holly has the place to herself this Christmas. It’s not her place, though – she is house-sitting for friends who live on Nightingale Square – just there to keep the place warm and cosy and only for long enough for her to sort her life out. Newly single and finding herself unsure about next steps for her career, she plans to hunker down and make some life decisions.

To clear her mind, she sets off on early morning walks around a nearby lake and bumps into May, an older lady who is also new to the area, and her dapper Dachshund Monty. Quickly, a firm friendship blossoms. Then when Holly meets Bear, a rather large and rather attractive man, at the local pub, and his rescue dog Queenie, her stay at Nightingale Square suddenly feels even more appealing.

As the community comes together for the season’s festivities, Holly must start thinking about where her life will take her next. Some big decisions need to be made, but distractions close to home make thinking about the future more tricky than ever…

Will she get that festive feeling this Christmas…?

A wonderful Christmas feeling

A truly excellent cosy Christmas story. A wonderful trip back to Nightingale square with 2 new comers making warm and wonderful new friends along the way. A great story that drags you in and takes you all the way to Christmas with a lovely new Monty and Queenie. A fabulous book

Perfect festive read

Absolutely love Heidi Swain’s books. I really love how she always has little links back to previous books. It adds to my imagination of what each town/village is like and what the characters are doing now. What a wonderful character May was. Holly’s books about the dogs sound brilliant. Someone needs to really publish them. Bears horse box home sounded amazing too.
This a perfect book to curl up under a blanket, with a hot chocolate and escape into!

Hallmark Movie in a Book

Sweet story, a bit predictable but unchallenging and an easy listen. Lost a star because the narrator insisted on pronouncing Eli (short for Elijah) as Ellie which is a girl’s name.
