Mary & Bright

A Sweet Christmas Romance

By: Katharine E. Hamilton

Narrated by: Connie Shabshab

Mary Rutherford dreads Christmas time. Having grown up in one of the most influential families in town, her Christmas holidays are spent attending her father’s company Christmas party and silently blending into the background. This year, however, her parents insist she plan the party, and with little help from her mother, Mary reaches out to an old friend for help: Brighten Smith.

Brighten Smith recently moved back to his hometown to escape California and the disappointment of a failed relationship. Helping his grandmother at her local bakery provides him the opportunity to catch up with old acquaintances and friends. When he finds Mary Rutherford needs a caterer for her family’s grand Christmas party, he volunteers for the job, though he has zero experience. As he learns more about Mary, he finds he wants to do more than cater her party; he wants to give her the best Christmas ever.

Can he and Mary pull off a successful Christmas partnership?

And can Brighten give Mary an unforgettable Christmas?

Great Christmas Story

How can you not cheer for a couple named Merry and Bright? It’s perfection from the beginning.

During winter break from school, I love to read cozy, feel good stories where everything gets wrapped up with a little bow. This story did all that and more.

This book is bloody adorable

I really liked this story. We meet Mary and we meet Brighton.
Short and sweet.
There’s no smut, but an adorable slow burning romance.
Great narration. Narrator does a great job of both male and female leads voices as well as secondary characters. Well worth taking the time to listen to this festive read.
