Oh my goodness! DeAnna has done it again. This book will make you laugh, and cry. I wanted to give Nixon the Gibb’ s slap on the back of head. This story makes you believe in love, faith, family and Christmas miracles.
Christmas at Clove Cottage
By: DeAnna Kinney
Narrated by: Kelli Tager
Sometimes a quick listen is just what I need to keep me going, and DeAnna Kinney has it with this novella! Dahlia Dawson is terminally ill, and upon her diagnosis created a bucket list. One thing she wants to do is go away to a cabin alone for Christmas, and this is the time she does it. But is it all she thought it would be? She meets the cranky neighbor and his dog, and Nixon, the handsome man who comes by to help her. Even with those close by, things are not what she expects until she figures out exactly why she is there. This book has a wonderful message, loving characters and that feeling of warmth I love. It’s my first listen by this author and I will be watching for more.
Kelli Tager finds her voice with this narration. I had not heard her before, but she fits in these characters so easily, it’s like I am watching it unfold. I enjoyed her voices, her pace and look forward to more narrations by her.

This is a short, sweet romance, that I wish it was longer.
