The Return of Kris Kringle

A Christmas Romantic Comedy

By: Caroline Mickelson

Narrated by: Carly Robins

After years away from the North Pole, Kris Kringle happily accepts her Uncle Santa's offer to move back to Christmas Central as head chef. With her young daughter in tow, Kris returns home with two objectives in mind. Goal number one, bring her love of healthy eating and nutritious fare to the North Pole dining service. Goal number two, recover from heartbreak and forget Kyle Masterson, the man who broke her heart. But when Santa hires Kyle as a new co-chef for the holiday season, Kris suddenly realizes that replacing the elves' beloved sugar cookies with carrots is going to be a piece of cake compared to working alongside her ex-fiancé.

CHRISTMAS SWEETNESS

THE RETURN OF KRIS KRINGLE is the third book in the Christmas Central series.

What a great short story to put you in the holiday happy mood, no matter what time of year it is. Which is why I listen to or read holiday stories throughout the year – IMHO, we all need to keep that happy frame of mind twelve months of the year.

I am such a hopeless romantic that I was rooting for Kyle to win Kris back before I even heard the first word of this story, just from the blurb.

Poor girl is fighting two losing battles: refusing her heart’s desire (Kyle) and the elves’ sweet-tooth. She might as well face it – rabbits eat carrots, cats chase mice, and elves want sugar. Even her daughter, though loyal, can see what is plain as day.

I highly recommend this story and this series. In fact, I think I’ll go listen to it again now. See you later!

Narration: The narrator is perfect. I loved listening to her voice.

Note: while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

G Rated Magical Holiday Romance

Personally I wasn't that into this romantic comedy. It was a bit to silly and juvenile for my taste. No steamy hot romance either. Just a nice family rated magical romantic comedy. A good story to listen to on a family car trip with young kids in the car. If that is what you are looking for then this book would be a good choice. The story is also well narrated and preformed.

Single mom and chef Kris Kringle has just broken up with her boyfriend and heads back to her home at the north pole. Santa is her uncle. She plans on revising the elves menu to healthier food choices. Her ex-fiance Kyle has also traveled to the north pole ahead of Kris and has just been hired by Santa to be the north pole's new chef. So now Kris and Kyle are in competition for the chef position and Kyle is far more accommodating to the elves unhealthy food choices.

I received this audiobook at no-cost from Audiobookworm Promotions. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

An entertaining and comical Christmas romance!

The Return of Kris Kringle is an entertaining well-written novella. I found myself giggling throughout the whole book. The author really knows how to create a story to keep your attention to the very end. It was easy to like the different characters. It was easy to read and follow the story. There was never a dull moment!

Carly Robins did a fantastic job with the narration. She had a clear and crisp voice that was easy to follow. She definitely brought a pleasant listening experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read more by this author. This book is good to listen to or read when you have a few minutes to spare. If you enjoy books set around Christmas time then you need to read this book!

Adorable!

What a fun, sweet, and adorable short story! Yes, I know it's summer and this is kind of a Christmas story, but I didn't care. It didn't take away my enjoyment one bit that I wasn't listening in the right season.

This story was short enough I listened to it in one sitting, but still gave me the romance and the feels I needed. Carly Robins did a great job with the narration. The sound quality was good and it was a light and easy listen. I would definitly recommend it if you're looking for a quick and entertaining audio book that will put a smile on your face!
