The Christmas Cookie House

A Sweet Holiday Romance

By: Jennifer Griffith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Christmas, love, and a batch of cookies.

Former bookshop keeper Leela Miller is back in Massey Falls. Her mom passed away last spring, and she's home taking care of her ailing father. Now, Leela is desperate to fill Mom’s shoes in the Ladies’ Auxiliary by chairing the Cookie House fundraiser. The hitch: mean-eyed Mrs. Coldicott refuses to host the event at her Society Row home as planned.

Leela must find a new venue big enough and fancy enough to draw in customers, or Mom's event might get canceled. There's only one perfect place: the Layton Mansion.

New vet school graduate Jay Wilson has been remodeling the Layton Mansion since he inherited it this summer. It’s almost Christmas, and the house is nearly ready to flip!

If he can get a good price for it, he can buy a partnership at a veterinary clinic out of town.

However, by stipulation of the will, Jay can't sell the house until he cleans out the attic.

Jay needs help completing the enormous task before his deadline. The beautiful Leela will eagerly help—if he agrees to allow her to use the house for her event. But, when Jay learns that the Cookie House event is the same day as his sale deadline, will he sell the house out from under the girl he might just be falling in love with?

Author’s Note: All books this series of clean Christmas romances celebrate family, tradition, Christmas, belief, and love. They are all standalone romances, but they do connect in the small-town world and can be best enjoyed in a “loop.” Book 1 leads to book 2, and so on, and at the end, book 10 loops back to book 1, with recurring characters. In other words, a reader can start with any book, read the subsequent book, and then complete the loop.

Grit & heritage

I am not a fan of virtual voice, it honestly takes away from the story.

Needs live voices and acting

Cute Christmas romance. AI voice is off-putting. Needs live voices and acting. Cute series for Christmas readers.

Cute story

a man’s voice for the guy would have been better— couldn’t always tell who was supposed to be talking

The story was funny, clean and family based. A good story with a happy ending.

BUT the virtual voice was terrible.
I probably will not listen to any more of the books because the voice was like one run-on voice sentence.

AI read sorry to the author

Many words and expressions read not in context with the emphasis on the wrong syllable.
