About this listen

Caroline Parker knows three things to be true. First, she is going to be Boston's most sought-after divorce attorney by 35. Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.

When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she's ever seen, she's also straight. And married to Caroline's work rival.

While being hired by Hannah throws her for a loop, winning a divorce case and sticking it to her ex-colleague should be enough of a thrill. But as the months slip by, bringing her closer to both Hannah and her adorable daughter Abbie, the lines between attorney and client begin to blur. And she could have never predicted just how much she wants them to.

Contains mature themes.

Utterly captivating delicious romance

Haley Cass may well be the finest writer in sapphic fiction today and she certainly brings out the very best in Lori Prince, who narrates this lovely story so beautifully.

Great story, easy listening

This was a great story, very easy listening but possibly should be called ‘Slow Burn’.

I think this could make a good film.

I liked the story. The inner monologues were repetitive but I enjoyed the suspense. The narrator sounded like she had gotten the characters confused at some points and I had to quickly go back to double check who was saying what.

Just brilliant

Hayley Cass is definitely my new favourite sapphic author. Her characters are beautifully written and relatable, and the story lines are engaging and thoughtfully crafted. I’m working my way through all of her books now and loving every minute.

Lori’s narration is phenomenal too. Her timing and delivery is spot on and she makes listening a pure pleasure.

Great, couldn't stop listening.

Great story

The story is centred around the holidays leading up to the Christmas season, but really you can read it at any time of the year. It involves a divorce and a divorce lawyer who falls for her client. It’s told from the lawyer’s point of view, with whom you immediately side. It’s a story full of burgeoning longing and angst. The reader feels for the protagonist, as she struggles through the unfolding situations from client to friend to wanting the ‘ever after’. It’s also about the inner strength and fortitude of women and the love that can blossom from understanding and kindness. As usual, Lori Prince brings the story to life with her wonderful narration.

Gorgeous Queer Romance

Haley Cass, you’ve done it again! I just adore how easily you write contemporary queer romance. And I think this might be my favourite. Also, the narration was on point, as always.
