About this listen
Viscount James Pottinger wants to return to his estate and hide away. Yes, he has lost a great deal of his fortune but the circumstances were deeply embarrassing. Only on the encouragement of his friends does he return, hoping beyond hope that he can recover some of his wealth but keep what occurred a secret.
Miss Tara Shaw knows what she saw that night but cannot tell a single soul for fear of losing her reputation. Having lost a personal item on that fateful night, she must risk it all to find it – only to bump directly into Lord Pottinger.
Forced together, will either one of them tell the other the truth?
Will Lord Pottinger recover his fortune or will his shame keep him silent – both about that evening and his growing feelings for Miss Shaw?

Story
It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks. When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops.

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.

The story was well written and I love that it was not a typical romance.
I do not care for the virtual voice. However, I feel that in time as AI continues to advance that this will get better.
