👎 Skip It
Snowed-in suitors, a widow's first lonely Christmas, an old flame versus a promised bride, and a GPS mix-up sending a woman home - grief and torn loyalty give this one some real stakes, though there's a nagging date mismatch in the sourcing (2019 vs. a 2017 print date) that couldn't be fully resolved. Lauren Berst narrates, consistent with her other work in the genre, but there's no independent word on how well she pulls it off.
