It Happened One Winter

Scandalous Affairs, Book 4

By: Christi Caldwell

Narrated by: Timothy Campbell

Mr. Martin Phippen, a highly successful London builder, is forced by a business partner’s foolish decision to take on a project in the wretchedly scenic wilds of Yorkshire. Three little scamps have made his work site their private playground, and Martin is determined that their mischief be curtailed before somebody gets badly hurt.

Widowhood means Mrs. Christina Thacker has her hands full with her children, while her exchequer is distressingly empty. To remedy her lack of funds, she focuses on making a match at her sister’s upcoming house party. When Christina's energies should be fixed on finding security for her family, she is instead powerfully drawn to the blunt, irascible Londoner with callused hands, sharp wit...and also, an intrinsic honor.

As passions flare between Christina and Martin, she must choose between a future defined by predictable security or one built - with Martin - on a foundation of love.

Short and sweet!

I wish this lovely story would have not finish so soon! I really did like it and fell in love with it and how a happy ending that was well deserved for the main characters just happened at the end!

Loved the Characters but their story needed more development

I really loved the main characters, thus wishing the story was a full novel. However, once again the author made the heroine too downtrodden. Why did she need 4 kids? The 3 were interacting with the hero, was the 1 year old necessary? She has wonderful siblings, so why aren’t they protecting her more from their villainous mother, why is she still involved in their lives considering the other stories in this series. This story had more potential.

Perfect holiday story!

Christi Caldwell did it again! Great characters, awesome dialogue, and a fun holiday setting make this novella a must-listen-to. And as always, Tim Campbell’s narration is top notch!

Not a repeat listen for me

Flat....best description I can think of. There was no oomph in either the characters or the story. Narrator didn't help either.
