About this listen
Audie Award Finalist, Romance, 2014
The Sullivan siblings have captivated the hearts of listeners worldwide, and this Christmas, New York Times best-selling author Bella Andre shares the love story that started it all...
For Mary Sullivan, Christmas is, and always has been, about family. And this year is no different. As she awaits the arrival of her eight children and their partners at the cottage in Lake Tahoe, she hangs the ornaments that they made for her over the years. Each decoration brings with it a tide of memories, all of which she holds dear to her heart. But when she comes across the oldest ornament, the one her beloved husband, Jack, gave her on their very first Christmas together, Mary is immediately swept back to the first days of their whirlwind romance, to the love that would be the foundation on which they built the family she is so proud to call her own.
Join the Sullivans this Christmas for a story that explores the wonder of the holidays, the meaning of family and a love that transcends time.

In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Best Sullivan Book
Where does Kissing Under the Mistletoe: A Sullivan Christmas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was my absolute favorite book of all the series, because it was the first book that really developed the characters. This should have been the 1st book in the series.

The story of Mom and Dad Sullivan...
I like the Sullivan series so it was nice learning about the parents start. This goes from when they meet to the marriage which is like a month! This listen is sedate compared to the others in the sex department and it was sad knowing that Jack dies young. The narrator as always was great!

Words can't describe....
I have LOVED every book in this series ad listened to them all twice. This book is at the top of the list for sure. The story of Jack and Mary was so incredibly sweet and romantic. To see the beginning of the Sullivan family was wonderful. It just tied in all of the kids stories so wonderfully. Can't say enough how great this book is!

A touching holiday read
Would you listen to Kissing Under the Mistletoe: A Sullivan Christmas again? Why?
Yes, it was a touching romance and perfect for the holiday season
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved Mary. She is such a strong character who loves her family. It is easy to see where her children get their sense of drive and strong ethics.
Have you listened to any of Eva Kaminsky’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first time listening to Eva, and I found her to be warm as she used the right tones to set the tale.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed, shed a few tears and swooned over Jack
Any additional comments?
Having previously read the novel, it was delighted to experience it on audio

I want a Sullivan for Christmas
Would you consider the audio edition of Kissing Under the Mistletoe: A Sullivan Christmas to be better than the print version?
Nothing like reading a real book is true but in this case I didn't miss it because Ms Kaminsky brought the characters to life with ease. I have enjoyed this series but this particular book with its background story of how it all started with Jack and Mary made me see them in a total different light. I have known Mary Sullivan as the devoted mother forgetting that she is also a woman. Jack Sullivan's strong ethereal presence was more like that of kindly ghost until I met him 'flesh and blood'. Kind of like listening to grandma and grandpa telling how they met, that's what it felt like for me. Mary was a world class model, Jack a technology wizard. One look and wham! Love at first sight. However there were a few obstacles which Mary had to conquer and Jack, loving, patient Jack stood by Mary as she sorted herself out. Ms Andre writes feel good books and this one made me smile more often than any in the series.
What other book might you compare Kissing Under the Mistletoe: A Sullivan Christmas to and why?
I compare this book and this series to that of Sherryl Woods' Sweet Magnolias which I have enjoyed and continued to do so.
What does Eva Kaminsky bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Ms Kaminsky gave voice to the characters and what a difference it makes when is done well!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Every time Jack put Mary's needs above his I found myself more in love with him, just as much as Mary. Lucky the woman who can count on love this wonderful.

Jack - he's everyone women's fantasy as a man.

We need to change the narrator, Eva is okay, but it should have been a different person for Jack & Mary.

First Thought when Finished: Kissing Under the Mistletoe is exactly the kind of Christmas read I love: sweet, moving, and in this case history of a character (Mary) that I love and adore!
Story Thoughts: Kissing Under the Mistletoe was a bittersweet read that had me crying both at the beginning and the end. Fans of The Sullivans series already know what is happening in the present day but it was wonderful to get Mary and Jack's love story. In fact, I have to say it is my 2nd favorite in the series. Perhaps it was knowing what their love created already but their instant connection worked for me (that is rare). Their whirlwind romance swept me off me feet and made me swoon. This is a fantastic Christmas read and I would highly recommend it to all fans of The Sullivan series.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated by Eva Kaminsky /Length 7 hrs and 55 mins
Eva does a great job with The Sullivan series. She has the right emotion for these really deep and moving contemporary romances. I love the extra "emotion" she adds during the "falling in love" time. She also has great timing for the humorous parts.
Final Thoughts: I recommend Kissing Under the Mistletoe to anyone who has read even just one book in The Sullivan series. Mary's story is to good to pass by.
