A Christmas Deal

A That Night Novella

By: Cindy Dawson

Narrated by: Christina Sivrich

Home for the holidays. First-semester assignments behind me, no exams to study for. I have it all mapped out. Snowy afternoons by the fire, curled up with a good book and a steaming cup of cocoa. Evenings with the family catching up and baking cookies. What wasn’t on the agenda was the school’s star linemen and world’s worst tutee crashing the party for extra study time, and tagging along to my hometown.

Now I’ve gotten us roped into a scheme to ward off the ex that broke my heart. But the plan we agreed on is crumbling with every charming smirk and wandering touch.

The lines have blurred, and for the first time in my life, I don’t have all the answers.

holiday romance lovers - look no further!

This novella made for an irresistibly warm holiday read—brimming with charm, tension, and sexy holiday spice! It’s a fast, delightful listen perfect for a crisp fall or winter afternoon!

A sweet, holiday treat!

Looking for a quickie, holiday book, you will want to pick up this novella. Although, if you are an audiobook lover, then, I suggest grabbing the audiobook. Christina Sivrich does a really great job of single handily narrating the audiobook.

Clara and Preston made a cute couple. Preston is definitely ten times better than Clara's ex-boyfriend. Clara's big brother is a hoot. He is a great big brother protecting her. Him warning Preston. Although he had nothing to worry about as Preston is a sweetheart. Bonus as he is good looking as well.

A Christmas Deal by Cindy Dawson is a sweet, holiday treat! This book makes a great stocking stuffer read.

A quick, cute holiday novella!

This novella was such a cozy holiday read. Clara, the bookish tutor, and Preston, the football player who's finding English Lit a bit tough, create an adorabl pair! Their fake dating adventure-Clara inviting Preston home for Christmas-is full of all the charm and tension you'd love, with just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting.

I loved how they accepted each other, neither trying to change who the other was. Clara's family made my day: warm, welcoming, full of personality. Christina Sivrich's narration brought characters so alive that they felt unique!

It's a quick listen, perfect for a snowy afternoon, although I found myself wishing it were a full-length novel. So much heart is packed into this story, and I would have gladly spent more time with Clara and Preston.

Huge thanks to Cindy Dawson for the Review copy!
