About this listen
This holiday season, there’s more than gingerbread in the oven.
I was always a type-A kind of girl - and that’s exactly what got me into trouble with Sterling Ahren.
Having a baby before 30 didn’t work out, so I took some time off to sort out my life. Sterling’s my new landlord...and he doesn’t plan anything.
He’s a billionaire playboy who can’t stand the holidays. A recluse of the worst kind, Sterling makes Scrooge look like a generous soul...except Ebenezer was never this sexy.
He doesn’t want a family - until the night we have a spontaneous one-night stand, and forget to use condoms. I can’t have a baby with a disorganized free spirit like him. Between my overprotective brothers and his crazy fans, I already know this isn’t going to work out.
Except Sterling isn’t willing to let me go. He wants me home for the holidays...and this is my last chance to make a Christmas miracle happen.
One thing I know for sure: When Sterling and I collide, it’s going to be anything but a silent night.
Funny, touching, and delightful, this smoking hot billionaire holiday rom-com by Claudia Burgoa will make you feel the magic of Christmas.

Twelve Years. It’s been twelve years since the last time I heard from the Aldridge family. That one voicemail changes everything - I need the money the late William offers. In exchange, I have to live eighteen months in Baker’s Creek. I’ve survived cancer, the jungle, and the plague. This should be easy compared to all that, right? Or so I think until...I see him.

When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

Surprise pregnancy
What an incredible listen which had me smiling while listening and then at times ripping my heart out. Sterling is all alone in his world and with his baggage and nine busts into his life with her wit and snark. Their relationship starts rough and then turns into an amazing. Adaventure. And the narrators.... I could listen for days and not grow tired of the emotions they place into the characters to make the listener feel like they are right there for the ride.

One of my favourite audiobooks so far!
You know an audiobook is good when you binge listen it from start to finish in a day. I hadn't read this one as an ebook/paperback first and right from the start I was invested in this couple. The narrators absolutely nailed this one, I highly recommend grabbing this one on audio!
This couple complimented each other so well! I loved seeing Sterling's tough exterior crumble and him letting himself open up to loving June and wanting to change his life to fit into hers. This one has plenty of steam, plus some funny moments, particularly when June's family were around. Sterling and June's story is definitely one I can see myself re-reading again and again.

Once Upon a Holiday
Once Upon a Holiday is an excellent Christmas novella!
June and Sterling are opposites, but truly in this case opposites really do attract. It was fun watching Sterling go from grumpy to falling for June. I also liked how their relationship developed and they found more than they expected in each other.
Sometimes novellas leave me feeling like the story is rushed or missing scenes or information. That is not at all the case here. Claudia did a great job with June and Sterling's story! Getting to listen to it on audiobook was a treat, too. The narrators are perfect for this story and these characters.

Amazing!
This is the perfect holiday novella but can also be enjoyed any time. I am hooked on the characters and their families now too. June and Sterling are everything they need without even knowing it. The story is funny, sweet, and all kinds of sexy. I couldn't get enough. I loved the narrators and how we not only had 2 but 3 narrators which really brought the story to life.

Enjoyed
I enjoyed listening-reading this story last night. It felt like a little novella. It was nice to see June and Sterling and their journey of friendship. I read the series out of order so this one filled in missing pieces to the puzzle. Bonus was Aaron, Emma and Sebastian. They are my top tier narrators. They connected well to their characters.

Entertaining
June Spearman wants a baby and now that she is thirty three she feels the pressure. Sterling Ahren is your typical hot, billionaire playboy, who happens to hate the holidays and has no plans to have a family. When they meet sparks fly. Of course fate works in mysterious ways so nothing goes as planned.
Not only was this book humorous but the chemistry between June and Sterling was intense. An entertaining book and the narration by Aaron Shedlock, Emma Wilder and Sebastian York was great and brought this story to life for me. Their voices are easy to listen to and added to my listening pleasure.

A great holiday romance
A holiday "Scrooge falls in love" novel that combines two families in the author's arsenal? Sounds like a perfect holiday gift.
We get to revisit Claudia Burgoa's Spearman and Ahern families again for the holidays, and this novel is definitely a treat. It's heartwarming, entertaining and satisfying.
Sterling Ahern is our Scrooge - brash, broody, takes life as it comes and has a killer smirk.
June Spearman worms her way into his heart before he even knows what hits him and turns his world absolutely upside down, sideways and inside out. June is determined, independent, and driven, and Sterling gives her much more than they bargained for when they first meet! The banter is witty, and sparks definitely fly, and the two of them challenge each other in amazing ways.
The audio, narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Emma Wilder, was fantastic. They do a wonderful job conveying the emotions, the humor and the sizzle in this story. A cameo by Sebastian York adds to the powerhouse narration of the audio.

Can't praise it enough!!!
“I’m in love with this story. Everything about it was phenomenal not only the characters and the plot but also Aaron, Emma and of course Sebastian’s performance. From the very beginning I was rolling out of laughter! What an amazing job all the narrators did! It was sweet, cute and sometimes a little bit painful but so beautiful. The king of love that could only be everlasting. Sure there were some ups and downs but at the end everything was worth it. I can’t recommend this audiobook enough.”

Magical
I read this book a while back and I have to say listening to Aaron Sherlock, Emma Wilder and Sebastian York had me remembering why I loved Once Upon a Holiday.
What’s not to love about a romance set in the magical holiday season and for me this story was made perfect by the joining of the Spearmans and the Aherns in this wonderful stand-alone.
June and Sterling are complete opposites, she loves to plans and live her life with no surprises while he throws caution to the wind taking life as it comes, she is a happy loveable lady and he is broody and grumpy but fate stepped in when these two got thrown together because this romance really is a case of opposites attract....
This couple may think they want different things but when it comes down it they both want love even if that’s not obvious, together this couple realise they just need to put some trust in each other and let love take them by the hand and give them both the HEA they so deserve. This is a story that will captivate you, it’s a entertaining heartfelt read that has all the feels you expect in the magical holiday season. I highly recommend this sweet and passionate read.
The narrators did a wonderful job bring a magical read to life.
