I want to thank netgalley and the author for gifting me the audio version. If you are into Hallmark type story plots then you will like this Christmas story. The narrators did a pretty good job. Very easy read.

I really enjoyed the audiobook of this novel. It adds great depth to the story and allows you to connect more with the characters as you're able to hear the difference and dialect changes throughout. Very well done for this very good book! This book about trusting others with your heart and living life fully is absolutely incredible. A great Hallmark Christmas story!

Janice Lynn is back with another winning holiday romance that takes readers back to the quaint town of Pine Hill Kentucky.

Readers are sure to relate to the imperfect characters, witty dialog, unmistaken tensions, and heartwarming sub plot as they discover that with great love comes great sacrifice.

If your looking fir a holiday romance that digs a little deeper, Wrapped Up In Christmas Hope definitely delivers.

Love love love this audiobook. Such a great story and really enjoy this narrator. I have read two of the books by this author and still need to read the first one though. If you enjoy a nice Christmas read then please read this one.

Wrapped Up in Christmas Hope is the third book in Janice Lynn’s Wrapped Up in Christmas stories. Set in Pine Hill, Kentucky, these stories feature the quilts of valor project undertaken by Sophie and Isabelle’s Threaded Needle Quilt Shop. New arrival to Pine Hill Morgan Morris and her young son Greyson are drawn to her cousins’ program, even though Morgan’s only skill is to iron the sewn pieces for the quilters.

Both Morgan and Greyson are still recovering from the loss of her husband two years earlier. After downsizing occurred at the Georgia hospital where Morgan was employed as a nurse, she relocated to Pine Hill and the warmth of her grandparents’ home. She and Greyson are trying to acclimatize when the local firefighters visit Greyson’s kindergarten class to herald the Christmas season and the local ornament decorating contest. When Morgan and firefighter Andrew Scott visually connect and Greyson becomes taken with the firefighter, the new “Wrapped” story begins to unfold.

With so many lovely happenings, some angst filled moments, and an unmistakable tension, this story definitely delivers. I very much enjoyed this book and I do recommend it to all who love this genre!

Exactly what it says on the tin- a wholesome Hallmark movie style clean, family-values romance.

Widowed Morgan moved to her grandparent's little town so that her son could find ✨ Christmas Joy ✨ again. Andrew is a firefighter who's resigned to never having a serious relationship because his life is too dangerous. They fall! In! Love!

Audiobook Thoughts- really well done audiobook!! There are two narrators, one for each of the main two POVs and they both handled the 5 year old voice really well, some narrators don't make kids sounds good at all.

Honestly the best part about this book was the background characters, the old ladies in a group called The Butterflies is undoubtedly the most humor and best lines.

This romance didn't wow me, but it's exactly what could be expected here- a Hallmark movie in book form- so I can't criticize it too harshly.

The ending is too neatly wrapped up for my taste, and so very family friendly that it was pushing on the edges of believablility.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for the review copy provided in exchange for an honest review

Wrapped Up in Christmas Hope is a heart warming story of widowed mom, Morgan, who wants to make Christmas special for her young son. She moves back home to be with her family over the holidays and meets risk-taking firefighter, Andrew, who quickly becomes a part of her life, whether she wants someone new in their lives or not. I like this Christmas book because it shows the struggles we all face when letting someone new in our lives. Do we want to take the risk of having our hearts broken? The result can be happiness, if we open up to the possibility. Janice Lynn gives us all hope for love at Christmas.

This is a typical Hallmark Christmas novel. Great story of family, love, hope, and new beginnings.

Morgan's return to the small town of Pine Hill was not easy. As a widow and a single mom who is trying to make her ends meet she has no room for love in her life. Well, not until a handsome firefighter enters her and Grayson's life. After weeks and toying around, the couple confesses their feelings and as you're imagined lived their hallmark happily ever after.

The way the novel was going, I was hoping it would end in a cliffhanger when Andrew would leave the town. This would make a great second part for the novel when he would return and the fight for Morgan's heart would begin all over again. Ah, the girl could dream. A great happy-go-lucky plot, but it was missing the thrill. Thank you NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for a free copy of the novel.

This is a charming audiobook. The ending is easy to predict, but the central relationship makes the journey worthwhile. I think the book struck the right balance between discussing the dangers of firefighting while also lauding brave firefighters who put their safety on the line to help others. If you like the style of Hallmark movies, you will likely enjoy this title.

This book was the perfect heartwarming Christmas story to kick off the season. I loved the story of Morgan and Andrew. This gave me all the warm and fuzzy feelings I look for in a Christmas romance.

Morgan is a widow and single mom since her husband lost his life engaging in one of his favorite hobbies. She and her son have moved in with her grandparents in Pine Hill, Kentucky, where Morgan wants nothing more than a stable life. Andrew is a firefighter in Pine Hill who secretly dreams of becoming a smokejumper after volunteering to help out with a wildfire in Tennessee. Andrew has always stayed away from single moms and been up front with women that he doesn’t want a serious relationship because of the danger involved in his job. However, Morgan and Andrew feel a connection from the moment they meet.

I had forgotten that I had read the previous book in this series, <i>Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy</i> last year until after I finished this story. I am happy to say that I did like this book better than its predecessor. However, I did not find the ending of this book believable at all. Madeleine Maby and Seth Podowitz did a nice job narrating this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me an audio ARC of this book.

This is my first time reading Janice Lynn. Thanks to #NetGalley and #HallmarkPublishing for this advanced listener copy, I'm a new fan!!

I'm a total sucker for any and all things small town, throw in firefighters who are also former military and add a widowed mom trope ?? Then sweeten the deal with a Christmas theme. Be still my romance lovin' heart!!

I can't wait to go back and listen to the previous books.

Both Madeleine Maby and Seth Podowitz are new narrators to me and I think they were perfect as Morgan and Andrew!

Morgan is a single mom to a bright young five year old. She moved to town to be close to her family after she got laid off from her nursing job. She finds it hard not to worry about every little thing after her husband died trying to reach the summit a few years ago. This close knit community is everything Morgan needs right now.

Andrew is a local firefighter who wants to switch to fighting wild fires in California. He knows what he wants and because of that he knows he isn’t looking for anything serious. He couldn’t do that to someone. That is also why he doesn’t date women who have children. He doesn’t want to hurt them if things don’t work out.

Morgan and Andrew find themselves questioning their promises to themselves about relationships. With some wise words, these two may just learn a few things.

This is such a lovely read. I listened to the audio of this narrated by Madeleine Maby and Seth Podowitz and became completely immersed in this story. I really thought Andrew was the perfect guy. While he is a play boy with an adventure streak, he is also kind and just lovable.

I also loved the old veteran in the story. The addition to the contribute to veterans was a highlight for me. I know that all those men and women who serve or have served this great country are heros. Thank you to Janice Lynn for including this in the wonderful Christmas story.

This is a Hallmark movie and it definitely gives you those Hallmark vibes. I actually had to look it up to see if there was a movie for this. There is! Now I want to watch it!

So, if you love those Hallmark fluff movies that make you feel all warm inside then this is definitely one to pick up. There are veterans, a wedding, Christmas, humor, romance, grief, and more. I did cry at the end but I am a cryer when it comes to books and movies.

*This book was received via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions within are my own.

Perfectly Hallmark in every way! I am a sucker for all things Christmas and Hallmark- and this book did not disappoint. I have a long commute to and from and was so happy to find a Christmas audiobook. Andrew and Morgan were the perfect company on my drive.

A holiday small town romance by Hallmark. Third book in the series. Can be read as a stand-alone by Janice Lyn. Andrew is small town Firefighter in Pine Hill, KY, doesn't want to get tied down emotionally his goal is to be a smoke jumper in CA a dangerous job. He meets a cute little boy that really connects with him and tugs at his heart. Morgan a widow of a daredevil wants nothing more than love and support in the small town. Andrew on face value appears to be a perfect match for her and her son. The little boy is my favorite character in the story just because he is so dang cute. The Christmastime setting is perfect for this story, adding another layer of tenderness. The book is also filled with other wonderful characters, including the Butterflies, a fun group of older women who are planning a Christmas Eve wedding for one of their own. There is also a lovely part of the story which pays tribute to people who have served in the military. It is a heartwarming story, a clean romance and a relaxing and enjoyable read, but it also touches at the topic of PTSD and the horror of war.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author and Kensington Books for the privilege of the ARC. #WrappedUpInChristmasHope #NetGalley

Sweet Christmas romance with Santa, firefighters, a cute kid, a puppy, and the most outlandish wedding I have ever read in a book. The author must have had fun writing that, I sure had fun reading it. Just the lighthearted read everyone needs for the holiday season!

Wrapped up in Christmas Hope by Janice Lynn
Narrators, Madeleine Maby and Seth Podowitz
This was a very clean and sweet holiday romance with a widowed mom, a cute kid, and a hunky firefighter. Lots of angst because mom is fearful of the hunk’s daredevil ways. Does she get over it? Read it and see. It was cute and fun and kind of touching with a large cast of characters. This is the third book in a series but can easily be read as a standalone.

This is an absolutely delightful Christmas romance!

I LOVE all three of the main characters! Andrew and Morgan have very different plans for their lives. They are presented in such detail that I was able to really feel a connection to both of them. I ached for the hurt that they were each experiencing as their friendship grew and they were trying to work through the differences that seemed determined to separate them.

I found many scenes that gave me a lot to laugh about as they had to deal with a number of matchmakers along the way. The descriptions of the planned Christmas wedding for an elderly couple were incredible.

I found both of the narrators to be excellent! I could hear the emotions in their voices throughout the book. I loved the variety of voices that they each used for the various characters. I will be looking for more audiobooks that they have each done.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, through NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.

This was an adorable Christmas story, What I would expect from a wholesome Hallmark book/ Audio series.

I

Small town romance at its finest!

This is the 3rd book in the series, and it lives up to the same standard as the first two.

Andrew is a firefighter from KY but his ultimate goal is to move to CA and take a risk to become a smoke jumper.

Morgan is a single mother, who's also a widow. Her late husband was a daredevil and has left Morgan a little jaded when taking risks or being involved with someone who takes risks.

Morgan's son is enthralled by firefighters, when Andrew goes the extra mile with him, he grows attached quickly. Andrew, just being Andrew goes the extra mile over and over again for Morgan and her son.

They will both face difficult decisions, on their futures, their futures together and their love. Will they be able to withstand it and stay together
