Holiday Ever After

A Novel

By: Hannah Grace

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Christine Lakin

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Icebreaker, a sparkling and cozy holiday romance set in an ambitious small town.

Clara Davenport wants to solve Fraser Falls’s biggest problem. According to Jack Kelly, Clara is Fraser Falls’s biggest problem.

All Clara Davenport has ever wanted to do is climb the ladder at Davenport Innovation Creative, her family’s toy business. Everything was going according to plan, until the company was accused of stealing a doll design from an independent toy maker, creating a flurry of bad publicity. With a promotion dangled in front of her like a carrot to a reindeer, Clara is tasked with charming the locals of the small town to solve the PR nightmare, by any means necessary.

Jack Kelly would be happy to never hear the name Davenport ever again. Less than a year after a guy in a fancy suit appeared on his doorstep with a sleigh-full of promises, the company that once falsely claimed they wanted to sign him to their small business program has copied his design. So when Clara prances into town hoping to convince Fraser Falls that her company is not the enemy, Jack is determined not to be fooled by Davenport twice.

But Clara has a plan to win over the community only to realize that beneath Jack’s frosty demeanor lies the key to the town’s heart—and maybe her own.

Critic reviews

"Christine Lakin and Teddy Hamilton deliver a heartwarming performance of this seasonal romance. When a scandal puts the Davenport family’s toy company in a bad light, up-and-coming young executive Clara Davenport is sent to the town of Fraser Falls, home of Jack Kelly, whose toy design the Davenports stole. While Jack wants nothing to do with her, and neither does the rest of the town, Clara is determined to achieve a reconciliation. Frequent listeners will recognize these veteran narrators, whose deliveries shine. The novel’s point of view and narrator alternates from one chapter to the next, and they both deliver sincere performances filled with laughs, compassion, and charming romance. A hearty listen to prepare for the snowy season ahead."

Fun Holiday Read

Such a great story by HG as always; the theme definitely made it feel like it was time to snuggle under a blanket with hot chocolate. The performance was never dull and the plot was easy to follow. 10/10!

Must read holiday

It lagged in some places and wasn’t enough in others. It’s still one of the best holiday books I’ve listened to in awhile. I love each of these characters.

I wanted to love this but…

The story was okay. I think if I would have read this in physical form instead of audio, I would have liked it better. I only like to listen to duet style narration and unfortunately this was not. I read a review that mentioned this being in duet, and unfortunately, after buying this, I realized it was in dual narration. Something about males doing female voices and vice versa that really irritates me. The first 20 chapters I was really bored and considered returning and getting my credit back but I hate to DNF books so I pushed through. I also read that this book was spicy but it had minimal spice. It was super hallmark with some spice if that’s your thing, go for it. I truly expected more from the author of icebreaker. I loved that series so I was a little disappointed in this book.

Love love love

Worth every single ounce of hype! This is the perfect small town romance to start the Christmas season!

Super cute holiday romance

Just what I wanted! Light but not too cheesy. Nice amount of spice. Would love to see this as a series!!
