About this listen
Set on the beautiful island of Islay, The Christmas Secret is a gripping story filled with emotion from Karen Swan, author of Christmas Under the Stars.
Alex Hyde is the leaders' leader. An executive coach par excellence, she's the person the great and the good turn to when the pressure gets too much; she can change the way they think, how they operate, she can turn around the very fortunes of their companies.
Her waiting list is months long, but even she can't turn down the unorthodox but highly lucrative crisis call that comes her way a few weeks before Christmas, regarding the troublesome - and troubled - head of an esteemed whisky company in Scotland: Lochlan Farquhar, CEO of Kentallen Distilleries, is a maverick, an enigma and a renegade, and Alex needs to get inside his head before he brings the company to its knees.
It should be business as usual. She can do this in her sleep. Only, when she gets to the remote island of Islay, with the winter snows falling, Alex finds herself out of her comfort zone. For once she's not in control - Lochlan, though darkly charismatic, is unpredictable and destructive, her usual methods gaining no traction with him - and with Christmas and her deadline fast approaching, she must win his trust and find a way to close on this deal.
But as she pulls ever closer to him, boundaries become blurred, loyalties loosen and Alex finds herself faced with an impossible choice as she realizes nothing and no-one is as they first seemed.
This audiobook contains an exclusive bonus feature with the author, Karen Swan, who shares some of the inspiration behind The Christmas Secret.

Perfectly written 'Will They, Won't They'
Loved every character, every setting, every twist and turn. Escapism in its truest form. Did not want the book to end.

Inspirational
This book inspired me to visit Scotland. My family and I took the grand tour and visited the Highlands, distillery included. We loved every second of it. I always say, that one day, we'll just pick a small town and stay put for a Christmas vacation. Hopefully, that dream will come true :) So thank you, Mrs. Swan for giving us such inspiration!

thoroughly enjoyable listen
I loved this book. It gripped me by the second chapter. The right amount of twists for it not to be a girly book. A good book all year round but extra special at Christmas.
