All I Want for Christmas

By: Arlene Blakely

Narrated by: Catherine Hein Carter

She's a lawyer who'd rather make a difference than make money. He's a reluctant Santa Claus, still grappling with high school regrets. If they can get past the drunken elf, the surly rock star, and the Christmas Eve concert, they might both find what they really need. Each other.

If you need to feel good, you’ve got to listen!

This is such a fun and charming story! The characters are engaging and the storyline has great twists. I loved it!

Fun Romance for Christmas or Any Day

“All I Want for Christmas” is a fun story perfect for the times you want to listen to something light and uplifting, Lola, a lawyer, begrudgingly returns to her Southern hometown on a business trip that’s really a professional babysitting errand. What she finds in North Carolina is unexpected: opportunities to make peace with her past, the growth of a professional partnership, and a radio call-in show where a little girl reveals her high school crush’s secret.

Warmth and humor

All I Want for Christmas is a fun, sweet, satisfying romance. The writing is filled with humor and well-crafted language. I found the characters, even a pair of obnoxious teens, genuine and very likable. This is a quick, sweet read that you’ll want to return to. The narrator emphasizes the language and provides clear but natural vocal changes for each character. Definitely a winner!

Feel good romp

This was the perfect story to listen to from start to finish on an airplane ride…in July. The characters are likeable, it has a satisfying ending. It was like a Hallmark movie for my ears and I mean that in the best possible way.
