This was a nice tale to listen to while prepping for the holidays. But I personally hate time travel novels and if I had known that was what this was, I would have never finished it. However, I did enjoy it, and I think many others will as well. |

Title: A Timeless Christmas Author: Alexis Stanton Read by: Kate Rudd Publisher: Hallmark Publishing / Dreamscape Media Length: Approximately 6 hours and 52 minutes Source: Review Copy from Hallmark Publishing / Dreamscape Media through Net Galley. Thank-you! Megan Turner is a historical reenactor at the beautiful historic Whitley Manor. The owner, entrepreneur and inventor, Charles Whitley, mysteriously disappeared in 1902. One day, a mysterious man appears in the study claiming he is Charles Whitley. Does this explain why Charles disappeared in 1902? Why did Charles time travel to 2018 and how can he return to his time? I liked this charming tale. Charles is a fish out of water exploring the wonders of the modern era. He also has time to ponder why he doesn’t celebrate Christmas and think about what is truly valuable in life. Charles also helps Megan to realize that she needs to move forward in life and ask her advisor for a recommendation to move on with her career. As the two find themselves falling in love, what will they do when Charles returns to the past? I love time travel movies and novels and thought this was a sweet one. I enjoyed the clean romance and I see that there is a new Hallmark movie version of this book this year. I definitely need to check it out. Kate Rudd was a great narrator. I like how she had unique voices for the characters Overall, A Timeless Christmas is an enjoyable time travel clean Christmas romance. |
This is the perfect audiobook for the holiday season. If you enjoy Hallmark movies, "A Timeless Christmas" is absolutely for you. The characters are well developed and believable, the setting sounds gorgeous with descriptions that allowed me to properly enjoy without thrusting Christmas joy too into my face, and there was the holiday happiness ending you expect. I was hoping to discover who the design traitor was (I had a suspicion) but that was the only "loose end" and it wasn't exactly a critical element, just something I jumped on as a mystery lover. Overall, it was a fun, enjoyable read for a holiday season unlike any other. |
A Timeless Christmas took me out of my comfort zone and put me in touch with my heart. It's the same old story told from two different angles and leaves a huge mark on the soul. Megan and Charles are a love frozen in time, waiting for their chance at forever. Rudd narrates a beautiful yet broken fairytale that leaves a lasting impression. Stanton takes an interesting approach to romance with breathtakingly timeless results. |
Super sweet Hallmark-esk holiday read. Filled with lovely characters, a supporting and loving community and tons of holiday cheer. This one has the perfect mix of romance and time-travel. The narration was perfect and easy to follow. Very festive read! |
Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for allowing me the chance to listen to a copy of audio version of A timeless Christmas by Alexis Stanton (read by Kate Rudd). Megan is a tour guide at a beautiful historic mansion, whose owner, Charles Whitley rose to wealth only to disappear without a trace in the early 1900's. Charles was always intrigued by the future. He just never expected to go there. But when he repairs a mysterious clock he bought on his travels, he’s transported to the twenty-first century, with his home decorated for Christmas and overrun by strangers. Charles is determined to find a way back to his own era, but Megan and Charles both feel a once-in-a-lifetime connection. Could it be that, somewhere in time, they belong together? This was exactly what I needed for the holiday season. This is a sweet, holiday romance, with a time-travel theme, and even though you could say, the character of Charles acclimated very quickly to the present day, it was wonderful to listen to. The narrator Kate Rudd did a great job. Made into Hallmark Original movie, I am looking forward to watching, I do recommend this holiday book, I plan to read again next year! |
Another Hallmark movie moment. This was a holiday romance that was not really romance. The man out of time, Charles, was not a romantic at heart. He seemed a bit jaded, cold, distant. Megan was the one woman that could get Charles through a time period that he knows nothing about. This was a clean slow brewing romance. As with most Hallmark stories love comes in the end. It was nice watching a man out of time get acquainted with the world around him. Narrator was pleasant. |
Another cozy holiday winner! This was a sweet story with decent narration and clearly spoken. Perfect for the holiday season! |
Sorry, I thought I would not be able to listen and review this title, but t still appears on my bookshelf on my NG app, It may be due to me sampling the start of the narrator. I will update my review once I finish listening to it (over my holiday break). thank you |
Enchanting Story I'll admit to having a soft spot for both time-travel and holiday romance, and this one is both! The first scene takes us back to the past where we see young industrialist Charles Whitley touch a clock... and something mysterious happens! We flash forward to the present. This young man disappeared in 1902, and currently, his house is open for public tours. The heroine is a newly minted Ph.D. historian who gives tours acting as the man's housekeeper while trying to decide how to move forward professionally. Imagine her surprise one day when she sees a man who is not the regular impersonator of Charles Whitley in the study, and he gives the tour group quite a show, demanding answers about why they are in his home! It takes a while for Megan and Charles all to figure out what's happened, but then Megan becomes his tour guide to the 21st century. The author did a good job showing Whitley as gentlemanly and more formal than a man of our time would be. I thought Charles, as a man who was interested in the technology of his day, showed the appropriate wonder and curiosity such a man would have had when shown 21st-century tech. He certainly had a personal growth arc, too, as he was very closed off back in his time, focusing on his business and science. Megan gently showed him a new way. But would his jealousy toward his old rival—who not only married his fiance but moved into the house Whitley had built for them—keep him from happiness in the present? Which is stronger, love or hate? You'll have to read or listen to the book to find out! |

Story: 4 ⭐️ Steam: 1 🔥 Audiobook: 4 🎧 This book was super cute. Classic hallmark story with sweet romance and holiday spirit. The story was great, I loved the time traveling aspect. The story was unique and throughly enjoyable. |
I received a copy of "A Timeless Christmas" from Dreamscape Media and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and it was a cute little romance set around the holiday season. I quite enjoyed the book as it was a light-hearted, warm, story about enjoying Christmas and your Loved ones. The main characters are Megan Turner and Charles Whitley. Megan is a historian who loves everything from the 19th century. She works at the mansion of Charles Whitley as a tour guide. Charles is an inventor from 1902 and when he unexpectedly time travels into modern day he realizes that his legacy has continued to live on throughout the years. Megan and Charles quickly become acquainted with one another while he marvels at the technology of today. As Charles prepares to travel back to 1902 Megan convinces him to take in some of the joys of Christmas. Once they start to develop feelings for one another, Charles must decide whether or not he wants to return to 1902 or stay in modern day with Megan, and his new friends. "A Timeless Christmas" is the perfect book for a cozy afternoon inside out of the cold of winter. For readers who enjoy "Hallmark" romances, it's a must read. |
A great audiobook to accompany any reader during the holiday season as they shop, wrap and do their holiday things. Megan is an aspiring history professor and until that dream is realized she is working at a museum/historical home as a reenactor. The home was owned by an inventor who disappeared in 1902 and just maybe that inventor has ended up entering 2018! This book could have taken place at any time of the year, but it had some extra value when it revolved around a Christmas party that Mr. Whitley avoided in 1902 and just may be the reason that he jumped in time. I loved imagining this beautiful home decorated for the holidays and the staff in 2018 creating a magical moment for visitors to experience a historical Christmas season - makes me remember my childhood visits to Williamsburg, VA! The narrator did a great job of changing her voice to fit the characters and I appreciated that she personalized the voices to mimic how the characters would probably sound like. I don't listen to fiction often on audiobook, but I will make down this narrator as someone I would love to listen to again in the future. |
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review Since I've seen the movie before diving into this little holiday gem, I knew I was going to fall in love with the entire story. There was just something about the Christmas magic that made these two come together. In it, you will meet Megan and Charles. She is a historical reenactor at the Whitley-Moran museum. Charles is the man who disappeared.. only to appear in Megan's timeline wondering why people were in his house. Long story short, they all though he was the new actor and then they let him join in one the tour. Honestly, these two were really cute. It didn't matter to me that he wasn't in his correct time zone thing because he ended up finding his true love in this one. Of course, that didn't stop him from trying to go back home.. but we all knew that wasn't going to happen one bit. In the end, loved this book and now I want to re-watch the movie! |
Megan works as a tour guide for the Whitley historical mansion. Charles Whitley was an inventor back in the early 1900’s. After he fixes a clock he time travels unexpectedly to present time where Megan is working. This was the cutest Christmas story I’ve read in a long time. I loved it. All the characters were great! I loved the time travel aspect and it added a lot of humour to the story. Overall it was a sweet story with lots of holiday cheer. I highly recommend to everyone who enjoys romance and the holidays. Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for providing me with this audiobook for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Available Now! |

This is such a cute story at Christmas time! I actually had seen this movie on the Hallmark channel before listening to this copy, and it made it come alive so much more!! I still loved it just as much as the movie. Thank you for letting me listen to it! |
Unfortunately I DNFed this audiobook at 70%. I just didn’t care! The characters had very little personality besides their jobs. And I don’t think I’m a fan of the time travel trope. I also understand that this is a romance book and the characters are meant to fall in love, but there was no lead up to the falling in love for the main female character. She was infatuated with the idea of him from the past, and basically fell in love at first sight. That didn’t sit well with me. I gave this audiobook 2 stars because I didn’t finish the book but I still enjoyed parts of the story. I received this audiobook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. |
