The Celebration Series, Book 2
By: Stacy Eaton
Narrated by: Yvonne Cude
Stacy Eaton does it again, she pens delivers another fabulous book in her “Celebration” series. Each book is set in Celebration Township, PA and features a different couple and Holiday. All the books in this series can be enjoyed year round and on their own though I do I recommend starting with the the first book, “Tangle in Tinsel” Thad and Casey’s story, not only is it awesome but it gives you more insight about Celebration and some of the characters who reappear in future books. I am loving the small town charm that continues in each book as well as the awesome characters. The timeline for this book starts about a day or so after the first book, Linda Maxim is a nurse in the same hospital where Casey works. She is a long time resident and a single mom of a teenage daughter, Megan. Ian Dugan is heading back to Celebration, he needs to take care of things in the home his father left him, plus he needed a break from his life in Philadelphia. Unfortunately he crashes his vehicle before making it there, landing him in the emergency room. When Linda realizes who he is she faints, he is a long lost love, the only man she ever loved, the one who got her pregnant and then disappeared without a trace. While he never knew of her pregnancy he owed her an explanation and when he sees Megan he knows exactly who she is, she also knows who he is. I loved how everything plays out in this book, it is wonderfully plotted with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some heartfelt moments and a great second chance romance. Stacy Eaton, thank you for another fabulous story, I am looking forward to see what comes next for these amazing characters in your Celebration series, it is interesting to see what they do for each holiday.
I listened to the Audible edition, Yvonne Cude continues to bring the characters of Celebration to life. She is a talented narrator and voice artist and has been doing an awesome job portraying each character, giving them their voices and personality. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she captures the characters emotions and projects them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen
Celebration Series, a small town romance. Linda and Ian’s second chance story is sweet and beautiful. Linda is lovely, strong and independent. Meghan is a beautiful and smart teeneger. Ian is intriguing. I loved to follow them in their journey. The ending is heartwarming. Yvonne Cude did a good job with the narration. I love her male voice. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Heathens to Hearts
Christmas time in Celebration is like no other…Linda has spent the last 14yrs raising her daughter as a single parent. Just a few days before Christmas she comes face-to-face with her past…ok, sort of, after all, Linda is assisting in the trauma intake of a MVA patient. Said patient is Ian Dugan…her hs love, who just disappeared…and father of her daughter. Follow along as this pair of star crossed lovers find their way back to each other, with the nudging of their daughter. Another beautiful book in this Celebration series!
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Linda learned early how to work hard and succeed. Her only regret is the man she loved disappeared just days after she got pregnant at sixteen. Fourteen years later, Ian needs a break from life, ends up crashing his vehicle, and waking up in the hospital to find Linda watching over him. He is not happy with his life. Linda was devastated when Ian left and cannot open her heart to him again because she knows the pain of him leaving and cannot handle that nor the small town talking against her and her daughter. An emotional read.

The Celebration Series, Book 2
By: Stacy Eaton
Narrated by: Yvonne Cude
If you were given the a second chance to be with the one you love, would you take it? Linda is an ER nurse, who at the age of 16 found herself pregnant and alone. Her boyfriend, Ian, took off without a word and left Linda to make some life changing decisions. Now 14 years later, Ian is in the emergency room where Linda works. Should she tell him about their daughter? Do they still have feelings for each other? Will Ian survive? This is a sweet, second chance at love with that one special person. Stacy Eaton’s 2nd book in her Celebration series is just the kind of feel good romance I enjoy. Linda is a strong, capable woman, but the arrival of her old beau has definitely thrown her. Ian is just as shocked to see her in the hospital, but is even more surprised at the circumstances. It’s fast moving, but has all the feels, all the surprises and the standout character of their daughter whom I found delightful. Narrated by Yvonne Cude, the story flows with wonderfully warm voices, easy transitions and a beautiful performance.

Book 2 of the Celebration Series. Linda and Ian were high school sweethearts, then he up and left her without a word! Little did he know she was pregnant when he left. Now almost 14 years later, he comes back to Celebration. Can they forgive each other and move on and have a HEA? Great read! I do recommend reading book 1 of the series first.
Just wow! I loved Thad and Casey. But holy crap! Linda and Ian, they are amazing!! Amazing!!! We met Linda in Tangled in Tinsel and I liked her then. I didn’t realize how much I was going to love her! This story starts out kind of like oh no, what’s going to happen? But I knew there would be a happy ending, there just had to be! I don’t want to dive too much into the story and ruin the story but there are definitely some twists, turns, and surprises in this story. Linda and Ian have a history, big time! But that history, is it enough to make the future everything they want it to be? Read it now to find out!?
