A Cold Creek Christmas Story

By: RaeAnne Thayne

Narrated by: Celeste Ciulla

Celeste Nichols has always preferred to keep to herself in her hometown of Pine Gulch, Idaho...until she becomes an instant celebrity! When one of her children's stories becomes a major success, she's suddenly the talk of the town. Celeste should be gloriously happy...but something, someone, special is still missing from her life. Could the return of her childhood crush be the answer?

Flynn Delaney has moved back home for his daughter's sake. Yet all the millionaire's resources can't help the little girl heal from the tragic loss of her mother. Shy librarian Celeste and her stories do hold some indefinable magic, though. Flynn came home looking for support - can he find that, and true love, in the one who got away?

Had to speed up the story because of the narration

Would you be willing to try another one of Celeste Ciulla’s performances?

I didn't like the narrator's performance of this book. She had odd pauses and "upspeak" that was distracting to me. I sped up the playback speed to 1.5 time normal so that it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Another poor narration

Too many pauses in the wrong places. Destroys the story with inflections either missing entirely or in the wrong places.

Very Enjoyable

Two very sweet stories, that brought smiles and joy into my days preparing for Christmas!

Great story

Great story for the Christmas season! I enjoyed it very much!
I hope others have the chance to read it!!

Christmas X 2

My copy included Christmas in Cold Creek as well. I absolutely loved both stories. They both have heartache and happiness along with Christmas Magic. Some of the characters make appearances in both stories but they can be read in any order.
