Twelve tailored chances for perfect harmony . . .

Kate Turner is happily single – a bit too happily, in fact. Since returning to her hometown, the sleepy village of Blexford, love hasn’t really had a look in.

But Kate does love Christmas. So when her best friend insists she signs up to the Twelve Dates of Christmas, a brand new dating app service, she doesn’t need too much persuading. Twelve perfect festive dates with the area’s most eligible men – who could say no?

Amongst the twinkling lights and falling snow, over hot chocolates and glasses of red wine, romance is easy to find. But with each date, Kate learns more about the men, and even more about herself.

As the big day approaches, Kate’s left wondering – is it really the season for true love, or will this Christmas be the coldest yet?

With Christmas a few days away, this is the perfect audiobook listen. Listen while you wrap presents and bake cookies. Narrated by Elizabeth Knowelden, the author takes us to the sleepy town of Blexford, England. Here we meet thirty-four-year-old Kate Turner.

While Kate has found success in her career, loves her home and even has a cool gig baking delicious treats for her friend Matt’s cafe, she isn’t in a serious relationship. She longs for a forever relationship and family. Her best friend signs her up for a dating agencies Twelve Dates of Christmas event. Oh boy…

I loved the story and where Bayliss took the story. It was charming, funny, and just gave an overall warm and fuzzy feel. I think it’s perfect for fans of the movie Love, Actually.

I adored Kate, who is at the age where she is looking for marriage, children and a partner. They held the dates in different venues, from ice skating to a drink mixer. Some were good, and some were disasters. But all led Kate to discover that sometimes love is right where you least suspected it.

Elizabeth Knowelden captured the characters and mood wonderfully. She became Kate and through tone and emotions brought her to life. The story lends itself wonderfully to audiobook from conversation flow to humor.

The audiobook includes a PDF of recipes you’ll learn about in the story and gads I drooled more than once! This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
