About this audiobook
Explore this delightfully cozy and joyful novel of second chances at the most wonderful time of the year, from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Kelley.
A feel-good novel as delightful and comforting as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter’s night, The Christmas Inn is bestselling author Pamela Kelley’s most heartwarming and magical book yet.
Riley Sanders didn’t plan on losing her job as a content marketing manager right before Christmas. When she calls her sister Amy to vent, she learns that their mother has broken her leg and could really use some help at the inn. Riley decides to head home to the inn, nestled along the shores of Cape Cod, in time for the Christmas rush. She is happy to help and needs something to distract her as mistletoe is hung and snowflakes begin to fall.
When she gets there, she not only finds delicious cookies and a crackling fire to lift her spirits, but also the sense of family she’s been missing all along. There’s Franny, a woman who has just lost her sister and has four unopened letters from her that she plans to use to open her up to new experiences on the Cape. And there’s Aidan, her high school sweetheart, now a widower, who is staying at the inn with his nine year-old son, Luke. What begins as a quick stay over the holidays to help her mom turns into something that means much more—a second chance at romance, a deeper sense of found family, and all the joy and wonder that comes with Christmastime on Cape Cod.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Riley Sanders loves her job as a copywriter at a marketing firm. But when her entire section is replaced by AI shortly before Christmas she's left reeling - until she learns that her widowed mother has broken her leg and needs some temporary help to run her inn on Cape Cod. She agrees that the timing is perfect and is happy to go home for the holidays to help out - but she plans to get back to her life and the job hunt in the big city as soon as possible. But the universe may have different plans.
The Christmas Inn is just the type of book I like to read as the winter holidays approach. It has all the cozy feels, a charming setting, and interesting characters to care about. I live in Florida because I only like cold weather in small, infrequent doses, but I can enjoy it vicariously with a good holiday book. This is a second-chance romance, a later-in-life romance, and just an all-around feel-good story. I listened to the audiobook, which was nicely narrated by Stephanie Németh-Parker, and can highly recommend the audio for those who like to read with their ears. However you chose to read, it's a lovely book for the holiday season.
