The Blitzen Bay Series

By: Millie Banks

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Robert Hatchet

A runaway bride. Her handsome getaway driver. A cozy town with a cast of animated citizens to help them figure it all out.

Noelle’s getting married three days before Christmas. It’s a dream come true . . . for her mother. For Noelle, it’s starting to feel like the walls are closing in. She’s known for months that something’s changing, namely her fiancé. She’s tried to ignore it, but her gut’s telling her that she’s marrying the wrong person.

Nash retired from the military three months ago. He’s exhausted and just wants to be left alone. His high school teammate’s getting married in a few days. He has no desire to go to the wedding, but every time he tries to throw out the invitation, an alarm goes off in his head. For some reason, he feels like he’s supposed to be there.

It's thirty minutes before the ceremony begins. Noelle’s in her wedding dress. Nash is in his seat. The universe is desperately trying to bring these two strangers together, but will Nash and Noelle listen to their hearts before it’s too late?

Wonderful - time well spent!

This is a fantastic listen of a ingeniously crafted story by Donna Schwartze encompassing the excitement of love at first sight with the reality of it arguably happening at the worst possible moment. Stella Hunter and Robert Hatchett matched the chemistry of the well developed characters with their performance of the story. Their emotion, timing, and delivery definitely added to the fun plot. Don’t miss this listen!

Super cute and Sweet story

I enjoyed this cute story about Noelle and Nash and how they became friends and then fell in love.
Stella Hunter and Robert Hatchet did a great job narrating this book!

A great read for cuddling up in a blanket on a cold day

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 This was just as cute the 2nd time around…I originally read the book, but decided to give the audio version a try. A great book for cuddling up with a blanket on a cold day to read, since it’s set in December. Blitzen Bay sounds like a dream vacation spot with its small town vibes and the great characters that live there. I wish we got a little more of Elle and Nash’s story, but they were cute together even if their relationship started off quickly. This one left me wanting to read even more about everyone in Blitzen Bay, especially Kit, since I know we’ll hear more about Elle and Nash in her story.

Heartwarming Story!!

I had already read and loved this book earlier in the year, but the audio narration made it even better. Nash’s voice was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t imagine a better fit for his character. This story is so sweet and the whole Blitzen Bay crew is so lovable, from Hank and Claire at the Inn to Izzy and Gabi at the bar.

My favorite quote was from Sam (Santa!!!): “You deserve someone who not only encourages you to shine but also loves basking in your glow.”

This audio book is perfect for anyone who loves a story of growth, community, love, and a sprinkle of holiday cheer!

Great Story

I initially fell in love with Nash and Noelle when I read this book. This recording was a perfect way to relive their story. The narrators make the story come alive. Once again Donna does not disappoint.
