Once upon a Holiday

The Spearman Family, Book 3

By: Claudia Burgoa

Narrated by: Aaron Sheldock, Emma Wilder, Sebastian York

This holiday season, there’s more than gingerbread in the oven.

I was always a type-A kind of girl - and that’s exactly what got me into trouble with Sterling Ahren.

Having a baby before 30 didn’t work out, so I took some time off to sort out my life. Sterling’s my new landlord...and he doesn’t plan anything.

He’s a billionaire playboy who can’t stand the holidays. A recluse of the worst kind, Sterling makes Scrooge look like a generous soul...except Ebenezer was never this sexy.

He doesn’t want a family - until the night we have a spontaneous one-night stand, and forget to use condoms. I can’t have a baby with a disorganized free spirit like him. Between my overprotective brothers and his crazy fans, I already know this isn’t going to work out.

Except Sterling isn’t willing to let me go. He wants me home for the holidays...and this is my last chance to make a Christmas miracle happen.

One thing I know for sure: When Sterling and I collide, it’s going to be anything but a silent night.

Funny, touching, and delightful, this smoking hot billionaire holiday rom-com by Claudia Burgoa will make you feel the magic of Christmas.

Surprise pregnancy

What an incredible listen which had me smiling while listening and then at times ripping my heart out. Sterling is all alone in his world and with his baggage and nine busts into his life with her wit and snark. Their relationship starts rough and then turns into an amazing. Adaventure. And the narrators.... I could listen for days and not grow tired of the emotions they place into the characters to make the listener feel like they are right there for the ride.

One of my favourite audiobooks so far!

You know an audiobook is good when you binge listen it from start to finish in a day. I hadn't read this one as an ebook/paperback first and right from the start I was invested in this couple. The narrators absolutely nailed this one, I highly recommend grabbing this one on audio!

This couple complimented each other so well! I loved seeing Sterling's tough exterior crumble and him letting himself open up to loving June and wanting to change his life to fit into hers. This one has plenty of steam, plus some funny moments, particularly when June's family were around. Sterling and June's story is definitely one I can see myself re-reading again and again.

Once Upon a Holiday

Once Upon a Holiday is an excellent Christmas novella!

June and Sterling are opposites, but truly in this case opposites really do attract. It was fun watching Sterling go from grumpy to falling for June. I also liked how their relationship developed and they found more than they expected in each other.

Sometimes novellas leave me feeling like the story is rushed or missing scenes or information. That is not at all the case here. Claudia did a great job with June and Sterling's story! Getting to listen to it on audiobook was a treat, too. The narrators are perfect for this story and these characters.

Enjoyed

I enjoyed listening-reading this story last night. It felt like a little novella. It was nice to see June and Sterling and their journey of friendship. I read the series out of order so this one filled in missing pieces to the puzzle. Bonus was Aaron, Emma and Sebastian. They are my top tier narrators. They connected well to their characters.

Amazing!

This is the perfect holiday novella but can also be enjoyed any time. I am hooked on the characters and their families now too. June and Sterling are everything they need without even knowing it. The story is funny, sweet, and all kinds of sexy. I couldn't get enough. I loved the narrators and how we not only had 2 but 3 narrators which really brought the story to life.
