Christmas in Coconut Creek

Dirty Delta, Book 1

By: Karissa Kinword

Narrated by: Jaclyn Kelso, Blake Lockheart

There are a few things Coconut Creek has that Pine Ridge does not. Palm trees, sandy beaches, butterfly museums—infuriatingly attractive special forces veterans.

When Colorado elementary school teacher Ophelia Brody decides to ditch her divorced family for a Christmas in the sunshine state with her college roommate, she doesn't expect a mile-high meet cute to tailspin the entire trip.

Frankie Casado is cocky, presumptuous, shameless—and just the right distraction from her depressing, fruitless dating life back home for a few weeks. It just so happens the retired fighter pilot is in somewhat of a rut of his own, and the circumstances around their coincidental meeting and unavoidable physical attraction are the perfect excuse for a festive fling.

The rules are simple: Ophelia teaches him how to date again, and Frankie shows her exactly what she should be demanding behind closed doors. Friends with benefits until the ball drops in the New Year. But a little bit of long-lost Christmas magic just might find a way to stir up more than their complicated pasts.

The book is probably better

It’s not a bad story. Nice medium burn. Hate how they did the voice actors. The guy playing the girl and she sounds old and British half the time. Almost DNFd. I’ll probably read the book and enjoy it a lot more.

Loved it

This was such a fun and good listen. The characters where fun, the storyline held my attention. I loved having both of their points of view I could write an essay on why I loved this story.

so cute!

this was such a cute story. I loved Frankie and Ophelia and how they came together. It was definitely the perfect christmas in July book!

I enjoyed the dual narration and thought the narrators did a good job with each character they portrayed!

One of the best audiobooks I’ve ever read!

Not only was this book INCREDIBLE! The narration was well done. The banter between the characters had me giggling and blushing. I highly recommend this audiobook and looking forward to more from Karissa!

HOT CHRISTMAS READ

I was scared going into this book because I had to DNF this authors other book but THIS WAS 100xs better. Better writing, better dialogue, better plotting. It was like a whole new author.
This was exactly what i needed when I needed it. Fun, spicy, fast paced, fulllllllllll of tension 🥵 and lots of holiday cheer! Ophelia embodied the older sister core so so much and it was so easy to relate to her. Natalia and Mateo had me cracking up laughing, they were all over the place and I adored it. Frankie was something else though. He was 10/10 new top book boyfriend material. The way he cared about Ophelia before he even knew he cared about her 🫠 that man was whipped from the start. The banter and spice was TOP NOTCH I was kicking my feet and giggling from chapter one and I did not stop. Like I said this was EXACTLY what I needed it was like a breath of fresh air it was like watching an old comfort rom com movie. 10/10 👏🏼👏🏼
