Summary

Eddie Rodrigues doesn’t stay in one place long enough to get attached. The only time he broke that rule, things went south fast. Now he’s on the road again, with barely enough cash in his pocket to hop a bus to Texas after his (sort-of-stolen) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Midwest, USA.

He’s fine. He’ll manage. Until he watches that girl get hit by a car and left to die.

Local shop owner Grayson Croft isn’t in the habit of doing people any favors. But even a recluse can’t avoid everyone in a town as small as Clear Lake. And when the cop who played Juliet to your Romeo in the high school play asks you to put up her key witness for the night, you say yes.

Now Gray’s got a grouchy glass artist stomping around his big, empty house, and it turns out that he . . . maybe . . . kind of . . . likes the company.

But Eddie Rodrigues never sticks around.

Unless a Christmas shop owner who hates the season can show an orphan what it means to have family for the holidays.

Enjoyable, well narrated seasonal romance.

A sweet Christmassy romance between a drifter (Eddie) and a loner (Gray) that begins just before Christmas when Eddie witnesses a hit-and-run on the outskirts of a small town and needs to stay around while the police investigate. Gray, who runs a "Holiday" shop in town offers Eddie a place to stay - it's awkward as hell to start with, but over the following days, the pair find a rhythm that works for them and start to fall for each other.

Narrator Adam Beckett is new-to-me, and although he has only three titles to his credit at Audible, his voice was familiar so I'm wordering if it's a pseudonym. His narration is expressive and well-paced, and he differentiates clearly between Eddie and Gray and the few secondary characters are clearly delineated, too. It's a very good performance and I'll definitely keep an eye out for more of his work.
