A Heavenly Christmas by Patrice Wilton
5.0
What a wonderfully uplifting listen this is. I love stories that give new life to people who need it. This story is a chance meeting of Jenny and Nick when Nick is saving a pup causing Jenny to hit a tree. This unfortunate encounter opens up a brand new world for the two of them. Jenny is still grieving over the unexpected death of her husband earlier in the year and is adjusting to her new life with her two daughters. When Nick comes into the picture, all of her hope and expectations change. Nick is a man who has difficulty with commitments. After a rough childhood, he does not want to have history repeat itself with his life, so chooses not to get married. Will this heavenly encounter change both their lives? This book is full of hope and love. I especially love the way Nick talks to himself, working through his beliefs and where he wants to go with his life. It is refreshing hearing this and seeing that even with the worst of childhoods, the right person can change everything. I also love that he is relentless with not taking no for an answer. I think if he did not pursue the relationship, Jenny would have accepted just going back to her life and trying to move one. There are some wonderful supporting characters in this book, I really liked Jenny's mom. She is a no nonsense woman, and asks for details and tells things like they are. This is a warm and fun holiday romance and I really enjoyed it.
Rita Page has a real warmth in her voice and gives this story the heartwarming feel it deserves. She gives a beautiful performance and I will definitely look for more of her narrations.
