Santa and Company

By: Fern Michaels

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

Friends since high school, four 30-something women reunite for a Christmas skip trip filled with a few unexpected bumps—and lots of laughter—in this humorous, heartwarming celebration of female friendship from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels...

When longtime friends Amy, Frankie, Rachael and Nina reunited for a holiday singles cruise, it not only deepened their bond, it changed their lives. Now they're getting together for another adventure, and what better winter setting than a fabulous ski lodge? Crisp snow and fresh air by day, cozy fires and delicious food by night, capped off by meeting up with their significant others for a New Year's Eve celebration—it's perfect.

At least, it's perfect until Frankie decides to go snowshoeing alone. When she twists her ankle right after losing her phone in the snow, Frankie wonders how she'll be able to summon help—only to be rescued by a reclusive Grizzly Adams lookalike who lives nearby and introduces himself as Troy Manchester.

Troy saves the day by helping the injured Frankie back to the ski lodge, but in the process, encounters a part of the L.A. life he's tried to leave behind. Nina, visiting the gift shop to buy magazines for a recuperating Frankie, is similarly shocked to glimpse someone to whom she was once connected.

Even in this unlikely spot, it seems there's no way to avoid their pasts. And as the mischievous Rachael and her sidekick Amy go to great lengths to patch up old friendships and spread the spirit of the season, the New Year may contain all kinds of new beginnings. . .

I liked the story but fire the narrator!!

I really like Fern Michael's books but I was just disappointed that she had Susan Bennett as the narrator. While I enjoyed the story which was the only reason I bought it , I was hesitant because of Susan Bennet as the narrator. You can understand her clearly, but she has a very monotone voice and does not change it for any of the other characters. I did think she did a good Italian accent but everything else sounded like it was on the same level.... so while you will enjoy the story, you just have to push through the narrator

Was predictable

It was slow moving and predictable. Sorry Fern you missed the mark on this one.

A few twists, few issues left hanging and a little bit of detail

I liked the humor of the story and some of the twists were fun, but there were issues that were left hanging including details that made issues confusing feel like it could just been a little better

lighthearted

A decent holiday read, "Santa and Company" offers a lighthearted tale of friendship and festive fun.

I loved this book but then Fern Michaels never fails disappoint me! I usually am reading a murder mystery book so this is a different type of book and it was refreshing! I loved the characters and how they all worked together to get one job completed! I give this book a 5 ⭐️
