The Brightest Star

By: Fern Michaels

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

A special treat to warm your heart, just in time for the holidays - a sparkling new novel from New York Times best-selling author Fern Michaels....

Christmas is more than just a celebration for Lauren Montgomery. For generations, it’s been her family’s livelihood. Their Christmas shop, Razzle Dazzle Décor, has seen seasonal fads come and go, but there’s one trend they can’t escape. Online superstores are swallowing their sales, and this Christmas season will need to be their best ever if the store is to stay in business.

To help keep the shop afloat, Lauren also has a sideline, writing biographies for business figures. She’s thrilled when her literary agent contacts her with a new proposal - before learning that the subject will be none other than John Gerald Giompalo. He’s the titan behind Globalgoods.com, the online retailer that has spelled doom for hundreds of small businesses just like Razzle Dazzle Décor. Despite her misgivings, Lauren travels to Seattle to confer with the mogul, and is caught off guard when his son, John Jr., attends the meeting too. Handsome, intelligent, and deeply kind, he’s perfect - apart from the fact that he’s part of the company threatening everything Lauren loves.

As her deadline, and Christmas, draw closer, Lauren knows that there’s more than her family’s shop at stake. Her heart is, too. But there’s no better time than the holidays to make a secret wish on the brightest star you see - and let the season’s magic take hold.

very good and quick

Before I knew it I was at the end of this book. It was well written. And I enjoyed all of it.

Bright and unbelievable at times

Loved the narrator. I'm a gal who reads for escapism, but this book at times took it a little far. Love Fern Michael's novels though.

Meh...

As the old saying goes, it is what it is. The brightest star was a heartwarming story, yes, but the lights angle felt altogether forced/rushed. Nevertheless, I enjoyed listening to it on my walks.

Good read

Good story. A little predictable and obviously sweet but that was fine. Just would have been better if different narrator.

Great romance story.

Great romance story. I don’t want to give anything away. I highly recommend this book.
