About this listen
Eden is an R&B superstar who has lost her passion for music. Andrew is a pastor who doesn't believe in God. Although for different reasons, both of them move through life with an enormous amount of pressure on their backs.
On the night of her concert in New Orleans, Eden sneaks out of an afterparty and mistakes Andrew's car for her ride home. Despite the fact that Eden claims she's famous, Andrew's never heard of her and he doesn't care that she's stranded.
Eden's not used to people saying no to her. And that's exactly what Andrew does, marking the beginning of a journey neither of them saw coming.
Andrew and Eden are unlike each other in many ways, but both are dealing with their own demons. Just as their issues threaten to crumble them both, they find each other.
This is a standalone.
Content Warnings:
- This book is a contemporary slow burn romance.
- Despite the summary and story elements, this is NOT Christian fiction. At least, not in the traditional sense.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I always knew marriage for me would never be to a man of my choosing. As a young girl, I was all too aware of the power I wielded in a world where men were supposed to be the superior gender. To the underworld, I was just a mafia princess. To my family, I was an equal. To my soon-to-be husband? Well, that was yet to be determined. But I prayed Enzo Bianchi was ready for me because I was damn sure prepared for him.

Storyline was great
This was definitely a slow-burn romance, but I loved it so much. 🥹 I couldn’t stop listening! The AI isn’t great but it won’t stop me from listening to another book by this author!

Loved it!
The story is long but it is well written and very natural. My first book from this author but I will be looking for more. The AI narration was a bit monotone but the story was good enough for me to hang in there.

Very Good Book....Slow Burn! Loved it!
highly recommend this book, nice relaxing storyline that doesn't take you through to many emotions. It is a bit confusing in the beginning solely due to the ai voice which makes it hard to understand which charcter is talking, it eventually becomes easier to navigate once the characters develop and you get use to the ai voice. Despite the ai voice it's worth the listen/read.

The story is beautiful
Aside from the horrible audio, I pushed through to finish this beautiful story. I have really enjoyed Ms. Belizaire’s other books. The Collide Series had me in a hold where I couldn’t stop. However, this one focusing on a minor character from that series, really resonated with me and has me thinking about the trauma, the relationship, AND the triumph well after I finished the book. I loved the story, but not the audio. Please stop using the computer voice narration, I almost didn’t read it because of it.

Worth The Listen!!!
I was so skeptical about the AI narrator… and there were moments where I was like, “come on now” but the story was so good! I felt all of the feelings. I loved the perspective that was presented by Drew regarding his lack of faith/religion. I’m a devout Christian and I know how some “church folk” can make it difficult to believe. This story was very well written.

I truly enjoyed this story! It took just a little getting used to the virtual computer reading, but it didn’t take away from the story.

Great storyline!
Great storyline. I’m not a fan of auto-narrated books. Sometimes the voice was a bit monotone.
