5.0

Mr. and Mrs. Christmas is an absolute delight, perfectly wrapped in small-town charm, holiday cheer, and a heartwarming romance. Michelle Stimpson crafts a story that feels like the ultimate Christmas movie come to life, with Lesley Carver and Jamal Gainey as the perfect protagonists to bring Hickory Falls back to life—and to fall head over heels in love along the way.

Lesley’s return to her hometown and her determination to make a life there is so relatable, and Jamal’s selfless devotion to his family farm makes him a hero worth swooning over. Their fake engagement to save their town is packed with humor, awkward moments, and sweet, genuine chemistry that had me smiling from ear to ear. The viral “Mr. and Mrs. Christmas” storyline adds a fun, modern twist, while the evolving romance between Lesley and Jamal keeps your heart firmly in the holiday spirit.

The narrators elevate this audiobook to another level entirely. Their performances are flawless, breathing life into each character and perfectly capturing the emotions, humor, and warmth of the story. From the banter to the heartfelt moments, they made every scene feel real and immersive.

This story is more than just a romance; it’s a celebration of community, family, and finding where you truly belong. Mr. and Mrs. Christmas is the perfect festive listen, leaving you with the cozy, magical feeling that only the best holiday romances can deliver. Highly recommended for fans of sweet, small-town Christmas love stories!
