    About this audiobook

    At Christmas, Laura Fleming lived her fantasy adventure. Paid to house-sit for the fabulously wealthy financier, C.W. Banley, while he traveled, she eagerly headed for New York City. As mistress of his elegant townhouse, she baked cookies and dressed the old gent’s richly-furnished residence for the holidays.

    As December rolled around, the lonely, lovely writer eagerly anticipated soaking up the Christmas atmosphere in the grand city. With only the cat for company, she’d turn Banley’s elegant home into a wonderland of sparkling lights, fragrant garland, and shiny tinsel. 

    Every year, she wished, in vain, for a happy ending. Will this be the year that Miss Fleming discovers her dreams can come true, even in a big city, like New York?

    A sweet, New York City Christmas Fairy Tale.

    CAUTION: There is some violence, and a bit of cursing, but no sex.

      An interesting book that would have been much more enjoyable if not for the two narrators. The characters in the story are in their 30s. The narrators sound like they’re pushing 60.
    • 2/5
      Was disappointed that the heroine opened the door and didn't call the police upon the first interaction with her ex and that guns were used so casually. What happened to the attraction to the Irish bartender? That seemed more realistic than either character moving to marry a stranger.
