Colorado Christmas Magic

By: Caitlin McKenna

Narrated by: Emily Pike Stewart

Bah, humbug. Christmas is not the most wonderful time of the year for Charley Dawson. After writing a column suggesting readers cancel Christmas, she’s sent on assignment to St. Nicholas, Colorado, home of the Scrooge Legend. The legend says that any “Scrooge” who enters the town will end up loving Christmas as much as Santa does. She’ll go; she’ll prove the myth wrong; she’ll have a fantastic new column - easy as mincemeat pie.

Detective Jack Brody assumed the Scrooge Legend was just that - a legend. A free stay in the picturesque town seems too good to be true, so he heads to St. Nicholas to investigate. Once there, he finds a winter wonderland, a group of kind but suspiciously closemouthed townspeople...and his high school sweetheart, Charley. He’s more than happy to team up with her, especially when it might mean a second chance with the only woman he’s ever loved.

As Charley and Jack go dashing through the snow to find the truth, they rediscover all the reasons they were a great couple. Of course, in the town of St. Nicholas, Colorado, there are plenty of someone's little helpers to bring people together with comfort and joy when they need it most....

Binged it! A grown up Grinch tale, loved it.

Binge-listened to this in just three days!
Put me right into the holiday spirit and made me cry as only a heartfelt Christmas story can.
Well read and performed, the story clips along right away and draws me in to, as the title suggests, magic. Without being overtly cheesy or soppy it checks all the boxes.
It reminds me of How the Grinch Stole Christmas but w more adult themes. There was a realness to the characters that put me in the middle of St. Nicholas and as much as I tried to see what was coming I was delightfully surprised by the twisting turns.

Great Christmas Read

Loved it and didn't want it to end. Fun, kept my attention with lots of little twists, a nice surprise!
